From an out ward appearance this kid look as normal as the average Joe. Just remember dont judge a book by is cover even when it sparkles. Just a passing thought I had while at work watching care flight land.
I agree with you Wildscar. Race doesn't make any difference to me. It's the psychopath himself that I worry about. This kid was a normal-looking college student.

I've read on Drudge Report that some of the 500 or so Korean and Korean-American VT students are worried about backlash directed at them from other angry students.

That kind of reaction would be as ignorant as the guy that shot and killed a turbaned Indian immigrant right after 9/11. (Story).

Yep.

From the Virginia State Police website:

A buyer who is not a citizen of the United States must have lawful alien status and must establish that he or she is a resident of a state by providing a valid photo identification and documentation such as a utility bill or lease agreement which would establish that he or she has resided in the state for at least 90 days prior to the date of the sale.

Congress has passed prohibitions that apply to "any alien in the United States in a non-immigrant status" with certain exceptions and a waiver process. Contact the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives if you have questions about these regulations.

Now it's 32 killed, (according to FoxNews). I can't find the words to describe my thoughts on this senseless rampage.

Good idea jbirds1210. Prayers sent to all affected by this.
