Thanks for that NY Daily News link link. The Tellys are blowing smoke It seems this guy had mental problems he may have tried to get help but usually in these situations family members are reluctant to go through the courts and have a family member committed and I’ll bet thats what happened with very tragic results.

True?

I have no doubt he said it. At the same time, he's probably as responsible for the massacre as he is for my ingrown toenail. The guy's either making fun of us or he's trying to increase his profile for fund-raising purposes (the devout donate more if you manage to rack up a high infidel body count). Outside of Islamist fanatic circles, the guy is going to come off as a clown.

Anything’s possible, but the Vietnamese I know are either hard core Catholic or Buddhist. Some of the younger ones - born here - have lost that religious connection (note the street gangs) and may have converted to Islam as an act of adolescent rebellion.

It could be... the gooberment and their propaganda machine would never let the truth about anything out. iranian student kills many with a car... innocent act of violence... a bin ladin acolyte kills himself outside of a football game and his apartment is found to be a shrine to bin laden and full of weapons... innocent act of an insane student... Virginia tech... must I go on?

"True?"

Nope, there are many reasons to discount this banter, so many it's not even worth listing them.

I suppose OThuga will mutter something like

I think you’re likely right.

However . . .

The oligarchy is . . . thoroughly in control of . . . certain companies.

and

The oligarchy is quite skilled at winding all kinds of folks up to do dirty deeds then turning them loose.

Given the evidence, I think you are likely quite right about this case.

However, . . . in this era . . . lots of things are not always what they seem—in any direction one wants to consider.

You think there were no Muslims in the Pentagon or the World Trade Centers on 9/11? Don’t kid yourself, Islam gladly butchers its own for what it perceives its own benefits. Applying Judeo/Christian values to Wahabbist Islamists is just flat out naive and stupid.

I’m not saying that this attack was driven by the Taliban, but don’t think for one minute that simply because there may be muslims among the victims that it can’t be true.

Have you tried to

PICTURE

a combination of

THE EASTER BUNNY

and

a RABIDLY CRAZED WILD EYED JIHADI?

I hope someone photoshops such an image.

Great Guffaws in the contemplation.

Sort of combines their wussy intellectual skills on the bunny side . . . with their ruthless deadliness on the Jihadi side.

Initial reports suggested Voong had recently been let go from IBM, which was started in Binghamton. But a person at IBM said there was no record of a Jiverly Voong ever working at the company.

(snip)

Friday evening, police who searched the suspected gunman's home carried out three computer hard drives, a brown canvas rifle case, a briefcase, a small suitcase and several paper bags.

A woman who answered the phone at a listing for Henry D. Voong said she was Jiverly Voong's sister but would not give her name. She said her brother had been in the country for 28 years and had citizenship. She said he didn't have a gun and suspected someone else shot her brother.

Also the jihidis up in Buffalo who were on trial recently. I wouldn’t dismiss this out of hand as a lone nut. Something not right about this story. We may learn more from information on his several computers.

Google News is Still Wondering What Happened

Look at all the mainstream news reports speculating about why the shooting happened.

What I want to know is why this Vietnamese immigrant qualified for a concealed gun permit in New York. I heard a radio host talking about this issue in detail last night. Long time NY residents cannot get gun permits. Who did this man know with major clout and why was he allowed to carry a gun?

Perhaps the Talibunnies brided an official in NY? Perhaps they kidnapped his girl friend and demanded he kill a few immigrants. I've seen photos of Binghamton with dozens of people dressed like Islamics. Are there a lot of illegal immigrants with Arab roots living there _______ ?

The mainstream media is out to lunch. Obama wants to reach out to the Talibunnies. Thus the MSM will not report this story as news until the source has multiple confirmations.

While I agree they’d want to send a bomber to a mall, if they can’t get C4 but can get hands on a rifle, thet’s fine with them. Hell, in Israel they use whatever’s handy, an axe, a truck, whatever.
