Shooting triggers hostility against America (like we need anymore of that)

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The South Korean gunman who killed 32 people and himself at Virginia Tech university had lived legally in the United States with his parents for 14 years, a U.S. immigration official said on Tuesday.

Cho Seung-Hui, 23, moved to the United States in September 1992 and lived in Centreville, Virginia, said Chris Bentley, a spokesman with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

Cho, a student of English literature at the university, was identified by police as the gunman responsible for Monday's killings -- the worst shooting rampage in U.S. history.

As a resident alien, commonly known as a green-card holder, Cho could live and work indefinitely in the United States, although he would not be able to vote or obtain a U.S. passport, Bentley said.

He was a crazy bastard.......plain and simple. As far as "world opinion"....who really gives a rats ass!

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

Hating America is cool right now. What can I say? How far do you have to go to find some dumbass that'll spew a whole bunch of anti-Bush, anti-American sentiments with no actual idea of why they hate Bush or America? Not far.

Personally, I don't hate anywhere.. But at present I'm not a huge fan of the American government and some of what country represents. I wouldn't ever stoop as low as use a tragic event like this an excuse to get up on my pedestal and start talking shit.

This-world-is-changing-for-the-worse...

Its-a-sad-thing-to-realize-and-face-but-its-true..

it's depressing to think it and to carry on trying to be positive but i agree with this

any country that allows people to legally own guns makes it easier for sick barstards like this to do the unthinkable, i'm sure if we had the same gun laws it would happen more in this country.very sad world we live in, life to many is worthless. my heart goes out to everyone who has been affected by this.

Sick bastards will do what they want anyway, even if guns were illegal, the same thing could've happened. If the students had guns to protect themselves this wouldn't have happened. A silly concept at first you might say, but think about it.

If i was locked in the room i would've rushed him definately, i'm sure others would follow.

guns dont kill people..people kill people look at canada, how many school shootings/ shootings, happen here and evry one here owns guns, my family owns a few, used for hunting, and just about evey single person i know owns a gun or and get their hands on one pretty easily. and it isnt that hard to get a gun in canada either, im not sure how u get one in the states but all it takes here is a weekend course for ur licence.

Ummmm......what's with the Psycho bashing here.....LOL

Hey P4B, thanks for the extra info on the student...

And as for walking every two feet and finding people who easily bash the country and the President, you're right. Most of them DON'T have a good reason, and just say so to go along with the flow. It's not all or nothing, you have to point out certain POLICIES to hate on... Like The current clash between state and federal law with medical cannabis. That's a good one.

:thumbsup:

EDIT: They kid, P4B, because they love... They kid because they love. Or hate. But mostly love!
