Gunman murders 32 at VA Tech

I am not sure if he is a Chinese, or an East Asian, probably he is. And I am not surprised for that.

Different from western mass shooters, who are more emotional driven, they're more cold blood and cold minded. We see it from the Chai Vang's incident.

Further early, a Chinese student set the first example for East Asian's mass shooting. Dr. Lu Gang, a Chinese student, executed all the people he intended to kill in the matter of minutes, in different campus buildings. He planed the routes, timing, even how he reloads his guns. Fortunately he didn't kill anyone not involved.


American police are far less trained to handle that kind of shooting, I think. The mass are less educated as well for this. In that case, you need to fight out, not run, to reduce the causalty.

What are you trying to tell ... ?
Do you think he was east asian just because it seems it was rather fast? From what I know so far, the incident took some time. Anyway, really strange assumption.

If you're a student in a class-room, how are you going to fight a gunman. Throw pencils at him? Or if you mean the police, what do you suppose it to do, shoot at everybody moving? On a campus with several thousand persons.
I would imagine the US police to be trained quiet well on those things (given how often such things happen)
Anyway, do you think US police puts it's emphasis on incidents where they fight old people in slow-mo? Of course they are trained to act fast in action, as ever police unit around the world.

Sorry, but I absolutely don't get your point.

He is probably an Esat Asian, and the way his shooting is not "shoot at everybody moving", no. He is obviously conducting seek and execute massacre, otherwise you won't see such high death causalty.

It's obviously well-planed and cold-blood executed, two shooting inciddents happends hours apart. The gunman is not panic or has not much emotion there, he just blew the head of anybody he found.

Swimmer, I'm happy you were not their at VA Tech today...

This is so tragic...

On Fox news they are reporting that the gunman chained the doors to the dormitory shut. An certain act of pre-meditated murder.

For those of you outside of the US VA Tech is one of the very best engineering universities in the US. It is also a tops football team.

Such a tragedy.

thanks, i called all my friends there, some of them were in the exact building when the the shooting started and the teacher hid them in locked room until the SWAT came another one was just exiting his math class and ran for it back to his dorms...

the campus is really nice but it's such a tragically that that there's VTech been the news with murders, i mean in august 2006 VT was lock down because a criminal escaped and killed 4 or 5.... it's a really nice place surrounded by the blue ridge mountains and very beautiful campus

it's also kind a ironic that there was a bomb threat on friday to that school but after searching the cops left and there weren't barely any cop cars around, they should of left some extra patrol cars around for the weekend and weekd

I am not sure if he is a Chinese, or an East Asian, probably he is. And I am not surprised for that.

Huh?? The gunman has not been identified. There was a picture posted of an Asian man in handcuffs on the ground at VA Tech. As reported by Fox news he was an reporter that refuse to stop asking the local police questions while they were in the performance of their duties. He was asked to stop asking questions. He refused. Was arrested. Taken to a local police station. Not charged and released.

"Sky also reported one witness describing a gunman as Asian, wearing a vest with an "ungodly" amount of ammunition, firing at will. The student newspaper has quoted a victim who described the shooter as an Asian male in his twenties wearing a maroon hat and a black coat."

And the way his shooting, which is the execution. You really need some heroism at this time from some victims:

"From what I heard, he chained up some of the doors so people couldn't get in and he basically was just going to every classroom trying to get in, and just started shooting inside classrooms," Jenkins said.

One of his friends was in a Norris classroom targeted by the gunman, Jenkins said.

"He was very fortunate," Jenkins said. "He said every single person in the room was shot, killed and was in the ground. He laid on the ground with everyone … he played dead and he was OK."

Flinchum confirmed that some of the Norris Hall doors were chained from the inside.

i have a conversation that is saved on MSN i had with a friend who lost a friend during the shootings and kinda describe the shootings.. for obvious reasons and confidential reasons i cannot post it on here, but if you want to read some it PM me..

This is indeed a tragedy... albeit, one that is not entirely surprising.

I think one of the most disturbing parts of this mass killing is the fact that the weapons used could all be acquired using legal means. It's arguable that any gun law that could have been passed in the United States (given the "you'll get my guns when you pry them out of my cold dead fingers mindset") wouldn't have made any difference.

It's easy to buy the weapons used. He had no criminal record, and probably passed the background check easily. Experience tells us that head cases have a way of getting weapons regardless of how tough checks are.

Gun control is dead in America. There is a reason we have one of (if not the) highest murder rates in all civilized industrial countries. But there are millions of guns out there, and that will not change unless we have an authoritarian government that happens to be anti-gun.

The killings will continue. I just hope that the tragedy will all make us take a step back, think about what we find important and inalienable, and be thankful for what we do have.

Fishhead, I still don't get what you wanna say.
Do you want to imply that east asians are natural born killers ??
The fact that people who feel themselves to be seen as loosers or mistreated or whatever by the society and therefore want to take bloody revange with preplanned actions, just intended to effectively kill many people, is nothing were ordinary asians are "better" at.
You don't need any kind of personal honer or whatever for this, a weired brain of a total insane madman is enough.
On a campus with several thousand persons, it's not all that hard to kill 30+ if you are ill enough, have enough ammo and time without being iterferred with.
