The perpetrator in this case was not an American. He
was a foreigner, something I suspected as soon as I
was made aware of this incident. Examine his culture.
You're saying "foreigners" are more likely to commit gun violence than
Americans? You're way off on your world crime statistics.
Not to mention that referring to him as a "foreigner" is really
misleading.
" Officials say Cho Seung-hui, 23, was an English major at Virginia
Tech who came to the U.S. in 1992 with his family and settled in
Centreville, Va. School officials say he lived on campus in Harper
Hall."
"Cho, 23, was a permanent U.S. resident who was born in South Korea and
moved to the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington in 1992."
Which would have made him about 8 or 9 when he came over.
