No Surprise- VA Killer was an anti-Catholic bigot
The Columbine killers had some downright Satanic influences in their life, an extreme hatred of Christianity permeated in their dark souls, not that one would have learned it from the MSM. Anyway the VA killer was, no surprise, an anti-Catholic bigot.
A play by this English major has come to light via the Smoking Gun news website, the whole thing is pretty crude, obscene, violent, frightening, and not worth your time, take my word for it. I am reproducing here though one portion of interest in which the monster, I refuse to even use his name, reveals his intense hatred for priests.
"(Richard gently rests him {sic} hand on John's lap.)
John: What the hell are you doing!
(John slaps Richard's hand.)
John (Cond't)
What are you, a Catholic priest! I will not be molested by an aging balding overweight pedophilic {sic} step dad named Dick! Get your hands off me you sicko! Damn you, you Catholic priest."
Of course you and I read this sort of thing, this pure hate for Christ's Church, and the red flags go up that this is a sick and sinister mind at work, sadly no matter how cliche it is, attacks on the Church will always be considered bold/hip/edgy in some circles. Though I must point out that to the great credit of the professor involved, the authorities were warned in the wake of these sort of writings.
Secondly, is anyone else finding it insulting that the South Korean government's condolences include remarks worrying that this tragedy will "stir up racial prejudice or confrontation," against Koreans? All too often, the rest of the world is more than happy to judge Americans harshly based on a bad experience with a tourist, or depictions in the media. I am reminded of being told that Mel Gibson's "Passion of the Christ" would lead to anti-Semitic attacks. Just as seeing a film depiction of the Passion did not lead to a single such act, I am bothered by the fact that the Korean government thinks Americans will interpret the actions of one monster, who happens to be from Korea, and parlay that into attacks on all Koreans. Do the South Koreans really think we Americans are so ignorant and violent that we grieve in such a way? This is so absurd there aren't words for it.
Third, cruising the liberal blogsphere, I saw a lot of rage regarding the fact that George W. Bush visited the campus today, even going so far as to urge the students to protest him, walk out on his speech, etc. Will these people ever put such compulsive hatred for Bush aside? If he didn't show up, certainly they'd be saying how he didn't care, and sunbed everyone, being so close by in DC and refusing to come.
Of course there were no anti-Bush protests, even if the ultra-liberal hate-bloggers don't realize it, politics and life are not synonymous. President Bush was on campus there today as the representative of ALL OF US, of every single American and our mourning. I don't think very highly of Bill Clinton, no surprise there, but if he were president, and such a tragedy happened at my college, and he showed up to comfort a community in mourning, you can bet I would be giving the man a standing ovation. I sometimes wonder how much damage this obsessive hatred of Bush has done the presidency and the republic.
Fourth, I am reiterating what I said in my previous post, we must not allow any excuses to be made here, no mater how troubled a childhood, or how lonely, or depressed, or medicated, or whatever, a person is, there is NO EXCUSE for acting in violence towards the innocent, much less on this horrific scale.
Lastly, and most important of all, continue to pray for the victims.

Shooting in VA
Let me preface by saying that I have only caught a few snippets of news regarding the campus tragedy in VA. First and foremost we must pray for the dead, and the students and families dealing with this unspeakable tragedy.
Secondly, and don't quote me on this, so little information is out there, but I am eerily reminded of two other shooting incidents, one in a mall in Utah a few months ago, and the DC sniper reign of terror a few years back. I am also, of course, reminded of the Columbine attacks carried out by Satanical monsters several years ago.
It is impossible to know how each of us as individuals would react in the face of such violence and evil, anyone who has not experienced it is hardly qualified to comment. However I'll go out on a limb here and say this, in the face of events such as this one, the September 11 attacks, and scores of smaller incidents of evil and violence that occur all too often in our time, and throughout history, when people are presented with such evil manifested in a sick, twisted, individual, one must do all they can to resist. If one leads, many will follow.
As we learned on 9-11, malicious evil-doers can NEVER be given the benefit of the doubt. The three hijacked planes that went into buildings were full of people who, until those last terrifying seconds, thought they were being held hostage, and of greater value to the hijackers alive than dead. Only technology (cell phones) and time allowed the good people of Flight 93 to fight back and in the process save countless others. In the post 9-11 world I would bet that no person alive, man or woman, age 9 or 90 would hesitate to charge an airline hijacker.
When one is being mugged, obviously, your wallet is not worth your life, but when a sinister person, with no visible motive other than evil, brandishes a weapon, I pray that every good person in proximity will have the courage to fight them tooth-and-nail.
Lastly, while I know as a Catholic we should not pass judgment upon the souls of others, I suspect that the monster who killed these young people in VA is just beginning his eternity in the fires of Hell. I don't know anything about him, but I simply do not care to hear a word in the coming days along the lines of "a troubled childhood," or "society failed him," or "childhood bullying." Moral relativism and psychobabble must not be allowed to cover up for the fact that such evil exists in our world. Let no one waste one moment of time on sympathy for him and instead focus on the killed, the wounded, and the grieving. May they all know the love and comfort of Our Savior Jesus Chirst. In the words of the Holy Father, "Despite all the darkness in the world, evil does not have the last word."
