Unshocking Virginia Tech massacre, by Ted Rall

Amazing how our President got out to VA Tech in time for memorials and services and TV coverage but he couldn't do the same for the many more victims of Katrina and FEMA. I wonder why? Does President Bush hate black people? Just kidding. I am no Kanye West. I think he hates poor people.

The President of the United States, or at least the guy who plays him on TV, rushed to the scene of a tragedy where(unlike Katrina) most of the victims were white. Cameras swept over a sea of VT sweats.

VA Tech shooter: His "plays"

Budding playwright, he was not. Present-day psychopath, yep. I didn't read the plays in their entirety, but they're quite awful.

This dude obviously had a mental disorder or two. Conservative talk radio hosts tonight were talking about Cho being a "sleeper cell." Or concealing the real culprit, like Lee Harvey Oswald and the Kennedy conspiracy theory. Or that he hadn't legally bought the guns used in the killing spree.

Hogwash.

Crazed loon. Period.

He purchased the firearms in March and April. He chained doors shut during the murders. He planned the whole deal. There is no evidence to suggest that anyone else was involved in the planning or carrying out of the murders. Let's let the professional crime scene investigators, police, and other law enforcement officials carry out their duties and determine, to the best extent possible, the events that occurred this fateful day.
