COLLEGE PARK, Md. - A University of Maryland student has been arrested for posting online that he would go on a campus "shooting rampage."

University of Maryland Police say Alexander Song posted comments Saturday that said, "I will be on a shooting rampage tomorrow on campus," "hopefully I kill enough people to make it to national news" and "stay away from the Mall tomorrow at 1:30."

Marc Limansky, a spokesman for the University of Maryland police department, says Song's comments were posted to the site Reddit as well as to the anonymous chat site Omegle.

Detectives determined that the comments came from Song, and began searching for him.

He was arrested on campus around 10 a.m. Sunday, and was immediately taken to an area hospital after detectives determined that an emergency psychiatric evaluation was necessary.

"When we made the arrests, we made steps necessary to ensure that he did not have any weapons on him, or in his access," says Limanksy.

When are liberals going to realize that 2nd Amendment infringement encourages shootings? Here is a prime example. Knowing that everyone is going to be unarmed puts the feeling of power, of having ultimate control into the psychos head. Two months ago here in New York city a psycho burned alive and killed a woman by spraying her with gasoline. Funny how the Mayor Bloomberg said nary a word of how we need gasoline control. And this isn’t the first time: They also cremated a token booth clerk alive in his booth. Oh yes, and then we have the Happyland club murders. 87 people roasted alive by gasoline.

“. . . the University of Maryland police department, says Song's comments were posted to the site Reddit as well as to the anonymous chat site Omegle.”

“was immediately taken to an area hospital after detectives determined that an emergency psychiatric evaluation was necessary. “

These 2 things just sort of jumped out at me. Just how anonymous could these web sites be? And running undesirables into mental health programs is what the commies used to do.

I figure for the most part they are anonymous. Just when someone talks about doing a Columbine on Campus, and someone else has the good sense to report it, the FBI are called in, a search warrant is issued and the ID of the person is found.

And your diagnosis, which you can apparently make from a few paragraphs on the internet, would be to do what with this individual about whom you know absolutely nothing?
