[The_Elucidator]

(CNN) -- Cho Seung-Hui in 2005 was declared mentally ill by a Virginia special justice, who declared he was "an imminent danger to others," a court document states.

Interesting. Crazy enough to be declared nuts, but sane enough to remain a student, and buy a handgun.

I'm astonished that the poet/teacher Nikki Giovanni made this observation. First, I'm astonished that she's on the faculty. I've read her stuff, and she's a hack at best. On second thought, maybe that's not so astonishing. Still, when a professor makes such a definitive judgment regarding someone else's disposition, it's usually someone from a hard branch of science, not English.

Gun Dealers are not required to issue mental competency exams to customers.:D

The University Policy of "We shall hurt no one's feelings" obviously derailed their.....ahem.....judgement.....regarding this poor student.

Now watch for the lawyers to feed upon VT....LOL!!!

I'm not even going to try to sift through the mountain of media BS about this.

I just have one question: has anyone fully confirmed that this guy obeyed all the laws ALREADY on the books in buying and carrying this handgun in the first place?

I think that would be the first question anyone should ask before even considering whether we need any MORE brand spanking new gun control laws. But then again, unlike the moonbats, I think. And I'm not interested in passing more unnecessary restrictions on people just so I can pretend I have some kind of value to society.

He did get it legally.


But has anyone seen his video? This sick F U C K decided to send a video to NBC in between the killings. I video where he said the Columbine kids were heroes and he compared himself to Jesus and blamed the people he knew at V tech for his decision to wreak havoc and kill the young people he saw everyday.

This man was EVIL in every sense of the word, conotation, essence, and any other unnamed way.

Oh, here it is; just posted: http://www.anncoulter.com/cgi-local/welcome.cgi

Virginia Tech even prohibits students with concealed-carry permits from carrying their guns on campus. Last year, the school disciplined a student for carrying a gun on campus, despite his lawful concealed-carry permit. If only someone like that had been in Norris Hall on Monday, this massacre could have been ended a lot sooner.

So even if the psycho had a permit (which I'm assuming he didn't,) it still would have been illegal for him to carry it on school grounds. (The rest of Coulter's article is pretty good too - of course.)

Darn that little loophole anyway: somebody crazy enough to disobey the gun control on the books, still has brains enough to go to where the gun controls are the tightest before he figures it's safe to start his rampage.

In other words: Cho Seung-Hui was rational enough to figure out how gun control laws work, but no liberal in America is.

There are a lot of crazy people who are smart and we know they tend to be the most dangerous. Hitler comes to mind, no sane person could ever imagine anyone doing the things in their minds. But they usually have figured out a way to accomplish many of their goals before the sane people catch up with them.

Well, this pretty much ruins the Liberal approach to finding everyone "mentally incompetent" and then that everyone is treatable.

I just remember the gang at FISTED telling me that we need to release the insane from our facilities before I left there. I wonder if they still think that?:question:

Of course they do. All liberals want is to be "fair" and treat everyone exactly the same.

Taking our guns away is only the tiniest part of that. The collectivists won't be happy until everyone is cared for and restrained to precisely the same degree. Healthy well-adjusted adults, indigents, criminals and madmen: the goal is to completely stop making any kind of "judgements" among individuals -- because those are always evil.
