Gunman On Rampage Kills 13, Then Self in N.Y.BINGHAMTON, N.Y.

Ok, this is REALLY bizzare. I just learned that apparently an Al Quieda leader in Pakistan tried to claim reposnability for this shooting. WTF?? Does he think we're stupid? http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,512537,00.html

I watched this unfold on and off for a while yesterday. I can't say for sure what his motives are eother. I think Voong himself was an immigrant was he not? This unfortunatly is one of those things everyone will try to make sense of, but we can't really. Somethimes sensless things happen.

Wow - have I been out of the loop. In looking at this one, I learned about the killings at a nursing home in NC this past Sunday. Idiots!!! I don't know what to think about this one, though. The guy was an immigrant himself - maybe because of the economy he felt threatened by the newer immigrants coming over with the few jobs there were. No one really knows what their mindsets are when they blow like this. Especially when they take themselves out as well. All you can do is guess, unless they leave a clearly outlined motive behind, so a lot will depend on what they find on his computers. If he talked with any chat rooms or in any blogs, they may learn more. Although I can easily relate to being angry and wanting to cause a lot of damage or disruption, I cannot ever understand the taking of innocent lives who have nothing whatsoever to do with the person who is angry. It's pure insanity.

I hate reading about this stuff. I always wonder why they don't just kill themselves first, and leave everyone else out of it. Then it is in the media, and it gives people ideas. Now there was someone else killing people in Pittsburgh, and who knows what will happen tomorrow?

I don't understand why this is in politics, unless you plan to somehow blame Palin or Bush for the actions of that madman. () I live about an hour east of wher ethis happened, and form what I have heard on the local news, the gunman was a Vietnamese immigrant recently laid off from IBM and frustrated that he had a hardtime learning English. The place location where he killed all those people is a center for immigrants to get help, such as learning English and studying to becoem citizens. Yesterday when he started killing folks, they were holding a citizenship class. Here is a link to my the story as covered by my local paper, it's still a "developing story" so it may update throughout the course of the day: http://poughkeepsiejournal.com/article/20090404/NEWS/904040333&referrer=FRONTPAGECAROUSEL

In my opinion,too many person have privite handguns are dangerous. Most of violent event caused by huns.As a result of that, victims often being killed instead of slightly injured. But every coin have two sides.We can not blamed the arms. The most important point is the person why use it,and what for. And his mind, spite and education.

The motive for this is still unknown according to police but I find it interesting the victims were all immigrants hoping to become U.S. citizens I would have to say that IMO thats part of the motive if not all of it...but who knows at this point.... that actually happened only a couple hours from me..

Two words Apathy and lack of sense of morality and also probably mixed with depression. We know that times are hard and whether we like it or not majority of us will be affected and that is something that we have to face. He lost his job and blame the immigrants probably because a former immigrant stole his job and turn to blame it on all immigrants. I feel sorry for him and those who thinks like he did.

Very sad. I really don't understand why people kill people they don't know. I can understand why people kill people they know well, I mean the person could have did something awful and the person that killed felt justified. But, just a strangers baffels me.

It is President Obama's fault.

this make no sence at all for people having to go to this extremme to protest, he should just killed himself and instead killing and hurting people for no reason

Wasn't the gunman also an immigrant or the child of immigrants? I don't understand the thought process of these wackos who kill this way.
