The students must have been cowards.
/sarcasm = crazy bat sh!t republican
April 18th, 2007 at 5:30 pmWhere are you getting this? Don’t see it on their site or on TV.
April 18th, 2007 at 5:30 pmIt was a Breaking News bulletin in the Cho mailed NBC story, but it’s now gone.
Fark.com has at least 4 stories of high school and colleges campuses being shut down due to threats, including the U of MN.
April 18th, 2007 at 5:32 pmI don’t see it either?

This is a notification from University of Missouri-Columbia Police that a shooting occurred in the proximity of Grindstone Parkway and Bearfield Road earlier this afternoon in southeast Columbia. Both cars involved in the shooting have been located. In response to those who have made inquiries, the shooting did not occur on campus. The Columbia Police Department is in charge of the case.

April 18th, 2007 at 5:34 pmOur daughter is a student there. She forwarded me a copy of the email from Campus Police. It sounds like a domestic – two cars, at least one victim in a car. It probably disappeared once it was known that it wasn’t a copycat incident
April 18th, 2007 at 5:36 pmSeveral schools in lockdown or evacuated today.

April 18th, 2007 at 5:42 pmIf guns are allowed on campuses, who will teach the students? not me!
April 18th, 2007 at 5:43 pmsomewhat off topic, and without reading the story, yet, but…
listening to randi talking about the latest news concerning the VT shooter – it is most definitely a case of a failure of the mental health system… and given that, the kid should not have been able to get a gun…
this country is as sick as i never ever thought it could be…
and it basically comes down to greed, always the greed…
very simplistic, i know… but the truth usually is…
April 18th, 2007 at 5:43 pm…
There was a non-specific bomb threat at my college yesterday. Classes cancelled all day. There was no bomb found, I suspect it was some jerk who had a test yesterday..
April 18th, 2007 at 5:45 pmits nice reading hometown news on the big blogs. but this really shouldnt be here. non-story.
April 18th, 2007 at 5:48 pmNot sure if all this will have any effect in our Gun – Control laws.
April 18th, 2007 at 5:51 pmSomebody left his gun at home, otherwise this would never had happened.
April 18th, 2007 at 5:52 pm/stupidity off.
This was a news bulletin that I received via Email from ABC news (or was it NBC?).
April 18th, 2007 at 5:52 pmHas it been determined that this was just another shooting in America and not really a news story?
I don’t know about Missouri but that picture of Cho with the two guns on MSNBC is horrifying. And yet the wingnuts will continue to denigrate those who perished because they didn’t fight back. I wish Michelle Malkin had been in the classroom that day, I would have loved to see how she could have taken him down and saved everyone.
April 18th, 2007 at 5:53 pmMeanwhile, in Iraq…
April 18th, 2007 at 5:54 pm… close to 200 people died in bombings there, most in Bagdhad…

April 18th, 2007 at 5:59 pmThe media is frothing at the soul over this thing and its becoming like some sort of murder porn. It also appears that the so called grieving are able to put thier emotions on hold while the cameras roll….my country makes me sick.
April 18th, 2007 at 6:00 pmSome thirty-five years ago Cal State Hayward had a spate of bomb threats on final exam days. It is nice to see that the “Old College Spirit” still lives. And not so nice to see that the greedy college administrators still have no clue as to the requirements of their job. The only criteria the shooter yesterday met was what the administrators hold the most dear: his tuition check cleared the bank. Given his background and history he should have been returned to his home for mental care, not allowed in an academic society.

That is very simple. He would have slipped in the wet spot when she peed her pants.

April 18th, 2007 at 6:06 pmThe Washington State University campus at Vancouver, Wa. was shut down today due to the fact that a note was found in a women’s restroom which stated that the same thing that happened at Virginia Tech was also going to happen at WSU. Authorities were called in but neither explosives nor aggressive behavior were discovered on campus.
April 18th, 2007 at 6:06 pmIn the worst parts of Chicago kids dodge gunfire from rival gangs on the way to school on a regular basis. An innocent kid gets killed every so often (don’t have exact statistics). These crimes almost never get national media attention. Perhaps its because the kids are almost always minorities.

As it turns out Cho came from a very Christian family as do most South Koreans.
April 18th, 2007 at 6:10 pmSeven buildings evacuated and employees sent home at University of Minnesota due to bomb threat.

Malkin is of the celluloid wisdom crowd. They have watched way too many movies and think that a human can jump in front of a gun and somehow not get shot while doing a superhuman Bruce Lee feat.
The fact is many college students are not trained to be Kung Fu masters.
April 18th, 2007 at 6:14 pmWe need Universal health care which also equally offers MENTAL HEALTH care…. We have too many untreated mental health cases and this will only worsen as the troops begin to come home from that hell hole Bush created.
And to the I don’t care crowd because you have your gated community… those gates will not endure for what we may have coming.
April 18th, 2007 at 6:19 pmYeah, that’s what we need. Barking crazy Malkin carrying a gun.
April 18th, 2007 at 6:21 pmThanks for the overwhelming details TP
April 18th, 2007 at 6:25 pmIn Iraq today, the equivalent of 5.75 Virginia Tech incidents are known to have occurred.
In a country less than 1/10th the size of the United States.
Carry on….

You forget one detail Fred, The population of Iraq is 1/11th of that of the USA. The real ratio is 63.3.
April 18th, 2007 at 6:42 pmoh, Jesus H!
April 18th, 2007 at 6:53 pmI wonder how many of those 32 students who got killed actually did try to stop him? I’m sure there were probably at least a few. This will come out as time passes and that derby guy will be ostracized from society as he should. I haven’t heard anything about whether this killer was a christaliban or not but it wouldn’t suprise me. From what I’ve heard so far about this guy’s day to day activity I’ll bet they find he had serious neurological problems, as in brain damage.
April 18th, 2007 at 7:02 pmCheung the madman apparently took a trip to the post office during the two hour time span between shooting two people in a residence hall and shooting 40+ people at Norris Hall.
WHen the story broke yesterday morning I recall the campus police saying they didn’t think the two incidences were related. They thought the first shooting was a ‘domestic’ dispute and that the killer had left the campus and possibly the state.
That statement caught my attention – they thought the killer had left the state. On what basis did they think that?
It suggests they had ID’d the shooter. But now it seems they didn’t know it was Cheung. Or did they?
Inquiring minds want to know, what did the police know yesterday morning, and why did they think the killer had left the state?
April 18th, 2007 at 7:03 pmIf Malkin had her way it would probably be a crime NOT to carry a gun on campus. And if you are ever a victim of mass murder and you don’t have a gun on you, you WILL be prosecuted if you survive.
April 18th, 2007 at 7:05 pmThey keep saying ‘he didn’t threaten anyone with violence’ so they couldn’t eject him from the college.
Meanwhile if he were caught smoking marijuana he would have been gone immediately.
Smoke marijuana go to jail
Write violent essays, stalk women, set fire to your dorm room, get thown out of a class for being too scarey – THat’s OK. No problem.
It seems that America is a very stupid country.
April 18th, 2007 at 7:30 pmSomeone should interview the Postal Clerk who took Cho’s package at 9:05 a.m. just before he went on his second shooting rampage. Was he calm? Probably if he was a sociopath/schizophrenic.

HI JAKE.
April 18th, 2007 at 8:01 pmOh, if a shooting doesn’t happen on campus, then it’s no big deal. Who cares, right?
April 18th, 2007 at 8:10 pmToo bad Cho didn’t smoke pot. He would have been tossed in jail along time ago instead of left free to express his insanity.
April 18th, 2007 at 8:18 pmheh… I live in columbia… seems like a few cars shot at each other or something and people freaked. Nothing to see here folks.
April 18th, 2007 at 9:32 pmUpdate here: http://columbiatribune.com/2007/Apr/20070418News050.asp 17-year old victim died at Uiv. Hosp 3:30pm Wednesday. 2 arrested: a 17-yr old and a 20-yr old. No MU students involved.
