Is it true Virginia shooting was an al-qaeda act?

Question

Is it possible Bin Laden hired him?

Answer 1

I haven't heard of any orientals working for bin laden.

Answer 2

NO! NO! NO!
What is worse is not only were the large media networks asking questions like this, but there were also student media there from surrounding university making outlandish statements and asking horrible questions. Why can't the media just understand that this was a unpreventable freak accident. No one knew that the first shooting would lead to what eventualy happened. Yes they could have notified students earlier, yes they could have closed down the campus, but they didn't. Hindsight is 20/20. I wish the media would just leave them a lone and let the university and law enforcement get with the investigation.

The press' behavior today has been nothing short of repulsive. sensationalistic, exploitative piss-yellow journalism. "STUDENTS! SEND US YOUR VIDEOS so we can slather them on Wolf Blitzer!!!" and then now all these ridiculous questions and attempts to stir up some controversy, in complete disrespect to the massive loss of life we've had.

listening to these reporters ask questions at these press conferences is infuriating me. these clowns think they're professional investigative journalists, and know better about this stuff than a police chief. trying to make the president of the university look bad. asking leading questions in interviews with students: "so aren't you a little upset about the delay in notification?" "well, yeah, i guess a little." "YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST: INCREASING ANGER AMONG STUDENTS OVER UNIVERSITY HANDLING OF THE INCIDENT. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE? WE'LL GET TO THAT IN A MOMENT."

it's really disgusting. an embarrassing low for american media. i'm sick of their coverage and feel terrible this is how something so sad is being treated.

Answer 3

No... it was only like 1% Al Queda like. Just as cowardly though. At least Koreans are a respectable people and they have honor. Al Queda not so much. Koreans make great cars computers and appliances. Nice people too. Al Queda...not really good at anything except killing people in a cowardly manner. Hopefully we can rid the world of Al Queda (do not care how) and drive Korean Cars, keep my food chilled in my LG refrigerator and watch Ice Hockey and Fox News on my LG Plasma. Can't wait for Anne Coulters column this week! P.S. Own lots of guns too. No Al queda will ever harm my family.

Republican 2008.. any of them. (they got balls)

Answer 4

Al Qaeda is a myth made up by the Zionist murderers that hijacked the U.S. Government, military, and the media.

I wouldn't doubt if Bush and his Jew-boys make up some story that Al Qaeda did it. That would be his style.

Answer 5

Hell NO....Virginia Tech isn't a target of interest.

This isn't anything new in American culture...every time you look up some disgruntled student or employee is walking into a building opening fire on people. It's just that this time there was a hug loss of life.

Where do people get these ideas?? This was domestic.

Answer 6

Such a scenario is a possibility.

Not this time, though. It appears to have started over a dispute with a girlfriend.

Security guards can only provide a "sense" of security. They cannot provide virtual security. It is the job of the security guard to keep people calm and prevent panic.

After all the furor has died down all the reports, reviews, investigations, then people will feel complacent and secure again.

I favor allowing individuals to carry concealed weapons if they have had training and have not had a felony conviction. Most of the people in the self-help group Parents of Murdered Children have strong feelings about this issue as well as Citizens against Homicide. (Members of both national groups have suffered the loss of a loved one to homicide) Compassionate Friends is also a self-help group however it is for parents who have lost a child to any cause homicide, accidental death or disease.

In 1999 at the Columbine High School shooting 22 students were killed.

So far 33 have been confirmed dead at the shootings at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University — (located in the western end of the state near the borders of West Virginia and Tennessee). It has been called the worst mass shooting in modern American history. The shootings began in the Ambler Johnston Hall dormitory at 7:15 a.m. Eyewitnesses described the gunman as an Asian male about 6 feet tall. He apparently shot himself in the head after the killings; part of his face was missing when his body was found.

He was said to have quarrelled in a dormitory with his girlfriend, whom he believed had been seeing another man. A student adviser was called to sort out the row. But the killer produced a gun and shot dead both his girlfriend and the adviser.

The second shooting was at Norris Hall. Two hours later he rampaged through an engineering building on the other side of the campus in the town of Blacksburg, killing indiscriminately.

The gunman was said to be of Asian appearance and dressed in maroon hat, leather jacket and black-military style shooting vest.

He had ammunition strapped across his chest as he calmly walked from room to room refilling his two 9mm handguns as he shot students.

He locked the doors of several classrooms to stop anyone escaping. Some terrified students jumped for their lives from fourthfloor windows, while others used desks to barricade doors.

The gunman has been identified as a Chinese man who arrived in the United States last year on a student visa. The 24-year-old man arrived in San Francisco on United Airlines on Aug. 7 on a visa issued in Shanghai

The number of dead is almost twice as high as the previous record for a mass shooting on an American college campus. That took place at the University of Texas at Austin on Aug. 1, 1966, when a gunman named Charles Whitman opened fire from the 28th floor of a campus tower. Whitman killed 16 and injured 31.

another good account
