Other than a post about my agreeing with Ted Nugent that more guns might make people safer in many deadly circumstances, I have made no reference to the Virginia Tech killings. I believe that a low key approach to study and reporting on such an affair is important to avoid the publicity such crazed persons seek. Some future would-be mass murderer should see little but contempt, if anything in the mass media.

That’s not to say that I haven’t pondered the whys and hows of the event. Were there warning signs? Details that have emerged show that there were. What could possibly drive a person to such a cold-blooded lack of concern for his fellow humanity? Slowly but surely, we are learning more of the details. Phyllis Schlafly of the Eagle Forum shows that it’s quite possible the murderous student could have been influenced by the very institution of learning upon which he brought his evil acts.
What was the motive behind 23-year-old Cho Seung-Hui’s killing of 32 students and teachers at Virginia Tech? Why was he consumed with hate, resentment and bitterness?.
Cho was an English Department major and senior. As a frequent lecturer on college campuses, I have discovered that the English Departments are often the weirdest and/or the most leftwing..A look at the websites of Virginia Tech’s English Department and of its professors reveals their mindset. We don’t yet know which courses Cho took, but it could have been any of these.
