Just heard anchorette report this on pMSNBC
Jihad allows all the faithful to be judge, jury and executioner. It matters not whether they are sane or insane.
Agree, it was very similar, especially when he spoke of us screwing his "brothers and sisters". And I also agree, people that blow themselves up along with non-combatants and innocents, are consumed with crazy thoughts, fueled by murderous hate. Just like Cho.
amen and why I’m fightin Star Travelor. I’m sure Star is exemplary BUT we know little yet and here is MY BISCUIT IN THIS.................NBC..............if he was nuts the drive by’s win.Gun control, mental illness et al.........if it was a sympathetic terrorist hell bent on his 15 minutes that helps us in that Tewrrorism is here in the USA ....NBC will never go there.....that is my problem here
You do not think his refering to the Columbine killers as MARTYRS is pointing towards islam? Ismail is another sign. Also, notice he had shaved his head which is also another ‘ritual’ muslims do before they undertake these missions. The police will know because they also shave their body hair, i.e. Mohammed Atta and the 9/11 hijackers. He appeared to be reading the words off of a prompt of some kind, and in a few places stumbled over them, almost like he was not totally familiar with them. Maybe someone else wrote some of those words. The style of the video was typical of what a Palestinian suicide bomber would make before blowing himself up. All in all, the jury is still very much out on an Islamci connection, but I thibnk there are certainly hints in that direction.
A 23 year old college senior needed help to write a crazy rambling letter and to make a video? Are you really so foolish?
You said — “As will you.”
We’ll see who is still standing when the Jihadis come...

Oh my. What can one say?
Good find! It must be on the list of “Recommended Reading for Lunatics”
Ya think?
Now he says he has terror in his heart. Wonder if he spent time on terrorist web sites?? More points towards Islam than points away.

Very creepy handwriting (shiver)
good point!
“According to the press conference I just heard, they praised NBC for acting so quickly — and the *emphasized* this word — NBC *immediately* contacted authorities. That’s exactly what was said — and emphasized — at the news conference.”
Well sorry. It’s a 24/7 news period, there is a 3-4 hour gap between when Capus got it and when it was turned over. *NBC News Pres. Capus stated this to Matthews on Hardball at 7pm after the Bryan Williams Evening News.
used A. as his first name and Ismail as last, which is opposite of what was supposed to be on his arm.
Wow, you’re incredibly smart to think to do that. Thank you.
I think what Capus meant was there was a 3-4 hour period between when they received it and when they released it to the press in general. He said they called the authorities in immediately, but that they didn’t release the info to the public/general press until the 4:30 presser.
That's his parents' house, nobody but his family lived there, and his parents don't live in South Korea.
There's NO reason to believe that he's a Muslim convert, that the weird Ismael Ax refers to Islam, nor that this barbarous act was in any way influenced by Islamonazi terrorists. He mentions the two jerks, Kleebold and the other idiot, who did the Columbine massacre as "martyrs" and tries to claim that in some way he, Cho, is Christlike and being "martyred" for others "sins".
Perhaps it was supposed to read Ax Ismail on his arm?? Seems obsessed with Ishmael who was the father of the Muslim culture. Said he had terror in his heart and we ____ his brothers and sisters.

You said — “Jihad allows all the faithful to be judge, jury and executioner. It matters not whether they are sane or insane.”
The “sane ones” (and that’s in terms of being able to function with tasks at hand and in the psychological and psychiatric sense) are the ones who are committed to their religio-governmental philosopy — as the ruling force for this world. That’s their idea.
The insane ones can barely function in any society and wouldn’t be even able to hold a coherent and understandable philosophy and maintain their own way in any socieity (Jihadist society or western society). We’re talking about being able to maintain and hold onto a coherent set of ideas and function in that society. The jidhadist have their ways and we have ours. Because they are different than ours doesn’t make them insane. However, what it does make them is evil — but evil is not insane.
This guy, the shooter is a nutjob and can’t even make sense about what his problems are and what his goals are — and if he has any philosophy that he spouts out, it’s a mish-mash of mixed up ideas in his own head. I’ve already read some of his stuff and have heard some of his own recorded comments. He can’t even make enough sense in his own statements.
At least the Jihadists makes some sense in the framework of their own beliefs and philosophies. This guy (the shooter) can’t even do that....

That wouldn’t be too surprising because Koreans write their names backward from the way we do it. So the A could still stand for Ax. Just one place he wrote it English style A. Ishmael, the other place he wrote it Korean style Ismail Ax (of course the spelling of Ishmael is different.)
