Reuters Knowingly Reports Lie About Binghamton Shooting -- The Taliban Did It
NewsBusters.org ^ | 4/04/09 | Warner Todd Huston

Reuters published a story today, April 4, detailing some nonsense from a Taliban terrorist who has claimed "responsibility" for Friday's shooting rampage in Binghamtom, New York. The question that comes to mind is why? Why did Reuters imagine this idiotic claim, this obvious lie, was worth reporting to the world? Does Reuters not have the good sense God gave a door knob? Why would Reuters pass this Taliban propaganda off as news?

From Peshawar, Pakistan, Reuters reports that this Taliban leader wannabe has said that the murderous rampage perpetrated by an unhinged Vietnamese immigrant was done by his "men." This half-wit terrorist claims that he ordered the "men" to attack the U.S. because of the use of Predator drones that have been so successful in cutting out so many of those nits in their Pakistani strongholds.

But we all know this "acceptance of responsibility" is an outright lie. We may not know why Jiverly Voong went off the deep end, but we know he had zilch to do with Pakistan. So, why did Reuters think it a story worthy of reporting? There can only be one reason...

I doubt he was taliban or any other islamic terrorist but I do question whether he may have been an H1B visa holder who lost his visa along with his job.

From an investigative sense it would certainly suggest a motivation for choosing that target.

The taliban have adopted Rahm’s advise on how to not waste a good crisis.

“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.

He also did not work at IBM, either.

The news on this guy remains rather sketchy, but it seems to add up to a Vietnamese immigrant of 28 years who had some kind of psychotic breakdown.

I am guessing - only guessing - that he want to this center for some kind of assistance, was somehow dissed or annoyed by something, and came back to get revenge.

It’s logical to think of psychotic behavior being induced by Islam and the Taliban - since Islam is after all a very dangerous mental illness - but it’s 99 percent unlikely that a Vietnamese person would be afflicted by that particular mental illness.

And of course the Reuters story will be passed on, with attribution, by Chrissie the Sissy and the Olber-moron- soon to be followed by the rest of the lefty locksteppers.

And the car that blocked the rear of the Civic Center didn't belong to him.

And there were two other suspects taken out in cuffs(plastic tie-straps).

It was a relative’s car, and the two cuffed women were released when the police admitted they had been arrested by mistake.

His daddy probably was a Viet Cong

I knew that it wouldn't be long before MSM blames English speaking Americans for the plight of this "poor disrepected" killer.

Gunman angry over job loss

Was angry over poor English skills, job loss

Updated: Saturday, 04 Apr 2009, 7:52 AM MDT Published : Saturday, 04 Apr 2009, 7:51 AM MDT

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVB) - Binghamton's mayor and police chief say a man who killed 13 people inside an immigrant community center was depressed after recently losing a job and angry that he couldn't speak English well.

Police Chief Joseph Zikuski tells NBC's "Today" show that people "degraded and disrespected" the gunman over his poor English. Mayor Matthew Ryan tells ABC's "Good Morning America" he was angry about his language issues and his lack of employment.

The suspected killer is believed to be a Vietnamese immigrant.

On Friday, he barricaded the community center's back door with his car and then opened fire on a room full of immigrants taking a citizenship class. http://www.krqe.com/dpp/news/us/Gunman_angry_over_job_loss_200904042295858

The first story I read about it said that his sister refused to answer questions asked by immigration officials. That was MSNBC and the story has since disappeared.

Why? As are all anti-US stories in the MSM: Too good to check.

It's possible. Many former VC fled Vietnam after they finally realized that the forkers from the north did not have their best interests at heart.

But far more likely would be his father having been ARVN, or an employee of the US Government. It's even possible that Papa was ARVN, and Mama was a US government employee. Since he was 41 or 42, and it was 28 years ago when he came to the US, he would have been 13 or 14 at that time, and it would have been 1981. That means he and his family likely spent quite some time in refugee camps. It also means that he was 6 or 7 when the war ended.

It is is very strange that the guy seems to have "aliases", plural.

If as reported above, the car used to block the rear door was not his, that too is strange. Lots of "strange stuff" here, such as his weapon being reported as a "high powered rifle" and turning out to be two pistols in 9mm and .45. I just don't see how even the most gun ignorant witness could make that mistake.
