| | Diane Sawyer, Paula Zahn, Geraldo, the tarantula eyelash blonde -- all of the news makers, who are making news when they are supposed to be reporting news -- have been shrieking on about the negligence of the University in not "erring on the side of safety." They made an assumption about the nature of the incident, and took 'too long' to do what they actually eventually did do, prior to the 2nd shooting. They 'assumed it was a domestic violence' incident that was over, and even, thought they had a suspect in custody.
In the interim, and maybe up until just recently, it wasn't even totally clear that the two incidents were related; for all anybody knew, it was or was not the same 'shooter.' So, the panic mongers are claiming that we should have erred 'on the side of safety' and should have proceeded perfectly to the end of the road not taken, which they claim would have resulted in a different outcome. (Maybe. Or, the end of that road not taken might have in fact been worse. The shooter could have chained up a dorm instead of a classroom. We can't see to the end of the road not taken.)
However, all the while that the panic mongers were saying this, and even now, it is not known whether this was an 'isolated incident' at VT, or part of some wider terrorist wave against US college institutions in general. So, wouldn't 'erring on the side of safety' mean that every University in the U.S. should be 'locked down' at this point in time? I mean, according to them, we should be 'erring on the side of safety' until we get to the bottom of this incident.
If we are, in fact, not doing that, then we have 'made an assumption' about the nature of this incident, prior to knowing the facts of this incident. We have assumed that it is 'just a local VT incident.' So, make the call, Geraldo et. al. Lock down every University in the US, or not? Be consistant in your panicked call for 'erring on the side of safety.'
Instead, they pose leading questions to students about their non-existent anger towards the VT administraiton, and when contradicted by the students, press on anyway with assertions based on same. I.E., they manufacture the news. Students anger is mostly directed at the perp who murdered, not the VT Administration, but this is insufficient for the media's agenda, so they manufacture the news. It is like watching really shappby Soviet Era street theatre.
Gun control? How many laws were already broken when this left wing radical did what he did? The real problem was, far too many students obeying the law on that campus, and only 1 -- the perp -- breaking the law. Had even just the VT 'Corps of Cadets' been permitted to be armed on campus, this clueless left wing radical jackass would not have been permitted to have carte blanche over 30,000 guaranteed to be defenseless human beings. Pelousy et. al. going to 'ban guns' from the face of the earth? Sure they are, right along with 'drugs.' In their dreams, yet, not stopping them, the bodies not even cold yet, and they are dipping their ghoulish fingers into the blood for their irrational agenda. This incident was a perfect illustration of the results of their agenda: the law abiding are rendered totally helpless, and made so by following laws that guarantee only that the lawless are rendered omnipotent.
It's been about 24 hrs since over 30 Americans were senselessly murdered by the fringe abuse of firearms, and in that same period of time, over 100 Americans died on our highways, just like every day, because of the not so fringe abuse of objects of mass destruction.. But, that's just physics at work. Fortunately, this nut was wielding pistols and not a Dodge Pickup Truck driving across campus. If he had, it would have hardly makes Page 8 of the local paper. Time to err on the side of safety, or time to drag out the tired old political agendas?
From shooter's note: "rich kids," "debauchery" and "deceitful charlatans."
Poor abused left wing radical. A victim of our instructional system. The lefties instructed him that it was virtuous to throw his little revolution.
It's OK, he only targeted rich kids. Aka, what ir regularly instructed every day at every university in the world, by left wing radicals.
