I may agree or disagree (though I believe non-citizens should NOT be allowed to own or carry weapons in this country) but this is Virginia Tech, and like it or not, everyone having anything to do with weapons (likely including Mexicans or Africans here illegally, though it is hard to imagine even THEY would be stupid enough to go to a firing range, or even try to get a license) is going to be watched.
PARTICULARLY if you are Asian. As another poster said, they are touchy about that there. For better or worse, that is a fact.
When I go on a plane nowadays, yes...I look at people of middle eastern extraction with a careful eye. Right or wrong, I am a little sensitive about that as well.
“watched” is not the same as “arrested and thrown in jail for a month and counting with no supporting evidence”.
Of course they are going to be touchy. They created a catastrophe, and refuse to acknowledge the cause.
