In response to the Virginia Tech. shootings, a writer to the Charlottesville Daily Progress proposes DNA research to discover a "loner" gene and offer genetic "counseling" to prevent future tragedies, i.e. abort babies found to have this supposed gene.

How to respond to such ideas?

just another nutcase tailoring an event to further their personal agenda. kinda liks those pursuing the “illegal immigrant” angle - despite the fact that the shooter was a legel immigrant.

Psychology is a higher function. DNA is low level. There will be at most a slight link to behavior, probably as a slight lack or one or more neurohormone.

Any excuse to kill off babies. It’s also created a new source of power: Nazi scientists spinning furiously in their graves.

I call for all the other quiet loners to rise up and march on Washington to protest this.

Hmmm, on second thought I call on us to rise up and angrily mutter to ourselves in our basements to protest this. :-)

When I was a student in Charlottesville, The Daily Progress was widely known as the Daily Regress.

Please don’t go after the loner gene - I’d be at risk!

He’d pull out his pearl-handled revolver and pistol-whip the idiots who propose such nonsense.

A much higher order of DNA selection could be performed by evaluating the people who are allowed to immigrate to this country on the basis of how likely it is they will assimilate into the existing culture. It is clear by Cho’s own statements that he was unable to, although his parents appear to have done it.

To be fair, there are a lot of native-born liberals who haven’t assimilated into the existing culture either and are busy trying to construct and maintain their own, sustainable, alternate reality. One of the manifestations of that reality is it has no evil people (can’t be judgmental, you know), and hence they can put up signs forbidding guns. In that reality a notice or law establishes a fact.

“Nazi scientists spinning furiously in their graves.”

The Nazis’ got their eugenics ideas from the US. States used to sterilize the developmentally disabled so they couldn’t have babies. Do a search on Margeret Sanger KKK and see what you come up with.

That was an IVORY handled revolver. Only a pimp in a cheap New Orleans whorehouse would carry a pearl handled gun. ; )

“Loner Syndrome”? What is that, exactly?

Is the writer trying to imply that extroverts are less criminal? I’ll bet that the majority of assaults and murders are committed by extroverts because they care about their image.

Introverts don’t care about petty insults and snubs; they’re too busy making money with their superior analytical skills.

That’s creepy. So what does Elizabeth propose for people who are brain-injured to the point it severely alters their personalities? Off them? What a freak.
