We need to decide on what the address really says, then stay with that spelling. I say it’s “iel”. Anybody read it differently?

I’m not clinging to anything that Billy Jeff Clinton said. I have not heard of any of what you posted, but this doesn’t mean it isn’t true. I am going to read up on it and see how accurate your suppostion works.

I didn’t hear any mention of a second color...based on the comments that I heard, that he wore a maroon color hat....maroon, is linked to an expression of a fantasy , much the same as violet, especially for a man...men usually chose a solid basic color...black, blue, white, orange...etc

It’s apparent from the pictures that Cho was an absolute nihilist.

More than likely, it wasn’t even that complicated. Virginia Tech’s school colors are maroon and orange, and most VT ballcaps/knit caps I’ve ever seen have used their maroon color as a background.

You said — “Their leaders might. However, those they get to blow themselves up, along with innocents, and other non-combatants are filled with hate, anger, and are every bit as fanatically crazy as Cho.”

Actually no..., they’re not any more filled with hate than the FReepers were with Clinton and his shenanigans. In fact, I’ve seen interviews of kids (in the Palestinian Authority areas, in Israel) who are simply filled with eagerness to demonstrate their love for Allah and to gain “paradise” that they are just itching to be a “Shahid”. They are not filled with anger — any more so than I’ve seen FReepers about Clinton in his day.

Of course, I don’t know if I want to compare FReeper’s “anger” with Jihadist’s anger, in that sense either. The point is that both sides have a purpose, a philosophy and a set of goals. Both sides get “angry” in regards to their purpose — but it’s not a “crazy” type of anger — in the same sense that this shooter has — in terms of him losing all “cohernence” and any sense...

And sure, crowds can get worked up into a “frenzy” — like I’ve seen in some Islamic demonstrations — but I’ve seen the same thing with Conservatives, too and with people at football games — just screaming and yelling their heads off (but, of course, for another purpose). So, the frenzy and the anger — by themselves — are not a sign of insanity or inability to act in a coherent way.

I just figured if it was maroon it was a VT sports cap.

Here’s a link that shows lots of maroon caps/VT caps.

Dubbing tends to be a real-time thing. When do you figure they were doing that?

Is that an “88”? Random number, or a “Heil Hitler”? Did he have a problem with Duke rich kids (reference to the Group of 88), or maybe he means those dastardly rich Jooos. After all, it was Holocaust Rememberance Day. Interesting. And if the 88 has intentional Nazi symbolism, what about that “wrong” zip code?

well, unless they doctored the expressmail envelope photo copy that shows the exact delivery info, and they are nuts enough to post that doctored copy on their website, you can probably assume he was telling the truth.

Charles Krauthammer said this evening on Special Report that this Cho maniac got the idea for his post-mortem video from the jihadists. It's certainly a possibility. See below:

Fair enough. Check out Bodansky’s book sometime, too. His credentials and resume make him a particularly hard man to dismiss.

It’s almost certainly a made-up street address since he lived on campus (Harper Hall). I can’t make out the street name, looks like “Nerol” or “Nevol” to me, but that’s just a blind guess, I can’t read his writing.

What about the one with his hands raised and his eyes closed...I hadn’t seen that one. Weird.

>I don’t always agree with Charles, but I think he’s right on this

I'm sorry, I think
I've been misunderstanding
what folks were saying.

I just heard a guy
on TV compare Cho's clips
to the videos

suicide bombers
do before they do their thing.
I thought people meant

all those videos
al Qaeda puts of out guys
in their training camps

doing shooting drills
and stuff like that. I haven't
watched the videos

suicide bombers
put out. This might look like that.
I've never seen them.

Sorry I spoke up
when I didn't understand
what we were saying!

Until it is proven otherwise, it should definitely be persued. The Ishmail name stands out along with his hatred.

If those pictures weren’t taken the day of the attack, then that’s at least the same outfit he was reported as wearing—black shirt, tan vest. The cap might be maroon, but it looks black in those pictures.

What Krauthammer says makes sense to me about the video. The Islamakazis do that all the time, speaking in their videos like they’re already dead and gone. Maybe this guy wasn’t a Muslim nutter (just a nutter), but it sure looks like he picked up a few PR tips from the Palestinian splodeydopes.

This guy’s a marxist. I wonder what his DU handle was.
