That's not going to go over well with the FReepers. Or the "mainstream" media, for that matter.

Of course, they'll be whining and moaning about "aliens" bringing "terror" to our shores anyway...

1. More likely from a Christian background...
Most of the Koreans I know are Christians.

3. More focus will be spent on what music he listened to and what videogames he played...
Edited on Tue Apr-17-07 08:46 AM by IanDB1
than on what church he went to and how he bought his gun, or how the system failed to get him psychological help he needed.

10. Then again...
Watching Korea

Another reminder today that al Qaeda is a worldwide threat, this time hints of an attack to come in South Korea. Still unknown: whether or not there are links between al Qaeda and North Korea.

Agents from Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda terror network made repeated visits to South Korea recently scouting for U.S. targets, a lawmaker said yesterday, citing a closed-door intelligence briefing to parliament.

Ham Seung-hui, a member of the Millennium Democratic Party, said that South Korea's National Intelligence Service (NIS) was now on terrorism alert to respond to reported al Qaeda activity in South Korea. "The NIS briefing said suspected al Qaeda members had checked security of the U.S. troops in South Korea on two or three occasions recently," Mr. Ham said in an interview.

One suspected al Qaeda member was detained at a South Korean airport for 10 hours last year before being expelled, he said, citing the intelligence briefing. Another was expelled earlier this year from South Korea. He was believed to be examining security at South Korean airports and carrying out the same task in the Philippines.

Still, my money is on him either being a Baptist or a Moonie.

17. I merely said different
If you want to interpret that as superior, that is up to you.

7. So far, you're the only one I've heard say it.
How do you condemn someone else for what's already in your mind?

18. The rumor yesterday was the killer got a student
visa last year, and was Chinese.

I think I read a post in which this was certified gospel, because ... gasp! ... the great KO said it.

Frequently when you're on the bleeding edge it's your own blood that's being spilled.

9. You know, in J. Edgar's days
they would have have papers already made up, a fake typewriter all set, and maybe a couple of post office boxes with some commie reading material for something like this.

This current gang isn't fit to lick the high heels of the old Master him/herself when it comes to setting up a real good patsy.

Ahh, those were the days, my friends.

:sarcasm: :rofl:

12. I thought it was going to be Rita Cosby.
Amazing, how she always manages to show-up just as tragedy strikes, isn't it?

13. The lack ok of terror connect is the reason for
the second "mystery" shooter, there is wingnut speculation that maybe he is of ME descent because the area around the school has a large Pakistani community and one them just "has" to be involved, at least according to some.:eyes:

14. A certain website (guess which one?) still has people assuming Muslim convert
As Bush's popularity continues to decline it appears that the only people that remain on that site appear to be the terminally stupid or hopelessly delusional.
