The Vietnamese immigrant blamed for the upstate massacre of 13 people was depressed over losing his job and angry over taunts about his poor English, the Binghamton police chief said Saturday.
"He spoke very little or no English, and he was upset that people degraded him and disrespected him for that reason," Chief Joe Zikuski said on the "Today" show.
Jiverly Voong, who also used the name Jiverly Wong, slipped into despair after recently losing his job, the chief said - although neither his unemployment or his anger fully explained the cold-blooded rampage inside the American Civic Association.

What did he speak?
And why wasn’t he where everyone else speaks it?

So the libs get a two-fer out of this tragedy. A boost for gun control and multilingualism.

How long had he been living here? He should have learned how to speak English.

Someone probably stole his lunch money in grade 3 as well. He is but a victim of society...the fact that people died in this incident is all that stops me from laughing.

I read yesterday he had been a U.S. citizen for 28 years. Is that true?
To: MassRepublicanFlyersFan
He arrived 28 years ago at age thirteen and couldn’t speak English?

Yep, I stopped him from learning english. And for what it is worth, about 40% of the people I see daily are not speaking english. My neighbor has a maid that, after living in the USA for 30 years, speaks not a word of english. Her daughter translates for her.

The man had been in the country since 1998, he had time to learn English. How was he working at IBM without speaking English? working as a janitor?
Just another looter gone over the edge, while spreading his misery.

A boost for gun control When guns are outlawed only non-english speaking immigrants who have been disrespected, degraded and are depressed because of their inability to speak the language will have guns.
