Hilarious,
all I did was take the conservative argument and flip it around and all of a sudden is a "straw man argument"

I don't know what to make of that. I surely don't. The crime you see before you now, it's hard to even take its measure. It's not that I'm afraid of it. I always knew you might have to be willing to die to live in Houston. I just don't want to go out there and push my chips forward and face something I don't understand .... a man would have to put his soul at hazard. He'd have to say, ok, I'm willing to be a part of this world ....

In an interview he said if they turned him out, he'd do it again. Said he knew he was going to hell, be there in about 15 minutes.

A lot of ignorance in this thread.

1. "Gangstas" usually aren't the ones that snap and just do random public massacres like this. Look at columbine, va tech, the movie theatre, and connecticutt. What did all the assailants have in common? They certainly weren't from the "hood".

2. Blaming low admission standards and letting the "undesirables" in for this. I believe the va tech assailant was an engineering major and the movie theatre guy was in a doctorate program.

3. Acting like it's impossible for stuff like this to happen in a pretty nice area like Cy-Fair. Places like that are usually where these random, senseless massacres occur. Usually in the "hood" the bad stuff almost always happens between people that know each other or people who are actively wrapped up in something.

It was very apparent at late from what I have read as well. He was mocked continuously for having poor speech, a lot do with being deaf. A decade of that could easily make someone approach dysphoric mania.

Society is screwed up. This is how we unofficially remedy assistance to those with issues.

If he'd killed thousands, maybe people would seriously think about it. Too much of the same going on in this country.

It will happen again and as usual people will act surprised. How could someone do that?
