    modern day america is the best example of the idiom :what goes around comes around
    for half a century USA has opressed every nation under the sun... the big wolf wore a costume of democracy and raped and pillaged , phillipines, vietnam, iraq, afghanistan, palestine and lets not go over the commenst world limit.
    not far is the day when struck with famine and natural disastors (praise be to Allah we have seen some already) the americans will kill their own sons for bread, kill their neighbours for water and rape their daughters in distress!
    yet americans can still save themselves, easy way out: believe that there is no God but Allah and Mohammad (PBUH) is his last messenger.
    so there is a way otherwise there will be complete destruction and not by terrorists but by americans themselves.

    I am excited that the shooter was an Asian! Gun usage is one area in which we Asians have definitely been lagging the whites in the US. This shooter gives me hope. Hopefully, at work, people won't think we are just nerds good at math. Asians need to move beyond computer engineering andd medical research to other white-dominated areas.

    Here's something the writer's of this article aren't aware of.... Binghamton, and surrounding areas, and most of rural NY State (for that matter) has been in a semi-depression economically for more than 10 years. So this one man's loss probably has little to do with the current economic swing, but more the act of one incredibly apathetic disturbed man.

    For all the xenophobes on this blog, it has nothing to do with his ethnicity - plenty of white guys have gone on killing sprees. It has more to do with a form of bullying, or folks being out and out insane. That is all.

    "Large-scale acts of violence are by no means limited to poor or immigrant communities"
    What did you mean of these words? Did you have any proof or data to support that? If not!
    I strongly urge you to apologize and to delete this article!

    What did you really mean to say these words? Did you really have proof or data to support that-"poor or immigrant communities" ? If not ? I strongly urge you to apologize!
