Why Dems will blame everyone but the gunman?

Super Ruper

Sure, there are people who will blame the gun laws...or lack thereof. And there are others who will attack the school for not providing better security and warnings between shootings. That is just a function of our society.

What I think will be a very interesting and more important discussion will involve the motivations behind the attacks. There is no question that the ultimate 'blame' has to rest with the killer himself, but a little understanding as to his mindset and what drove him to massacre over 30 people may just help others in the future. In the end, he may have been a sociopath, plain and simple. But there may have been factors that led up to his pain, hatred or suicidal behavior. And I, for one, would be very interested in knowing this kind of information...

Why does there need to be blame? A very extreme catastrophy
occurred that cost the lives of many innocent people. It's truly
sad when a person has a heart attack, and swerves an auto
into an oncoming lane, killing innocents --- who's to blame ?
The VT situation was a dfferent type of mental attack on a
young man that went off the deep end. It has happened before,
and I'm guessing it will happen again. No blame, no defense
just fact. Life goes on and my heart goes out to the friends,
and families of the victims.

I agree with you. The libs do not believe in Occam's Razor which roughly translates to: All things being equal the simplest answer is usually the correct answer". In other words, this kid wanted to kill people, so he did. After the first two, he realized how easy it was so off he went. It's not the guns' fault; it's not the University's fault and despite what the stupid libs say, it's not even President Bush's fault. The blame lies with the perpetrator.

Because Democrats use the Constitution as a shield for the criminal rather than a sword for the innocent.

It's not D's generally, but the extreme left wing that has seized control of the D party, as well as the turncoat R's that support them, and when well thought out, one can conclude that liberalism is a mental illness, not a concept of progressive ideas, as they so foolishly claim it to be...

The reason this was not prevented was because of individual rights. The person displayed signs that suggested he was not mentally healthy, but the school cannot force someone to get help or suspend someone from school for acting bizarre unless he has threatened or harmed someone, of course, at that time it's a little bit late. Is it a civil right to not be questioned about your behaviour? Even in a school environment? I question that myself.
I'm so tired of vultures like the EU press and CA press jumping all over our society when something bad happens. Punks.

They've already done it. NY Times ran an article blaming Virginia's lax gun control for this crime as well as for gun deaths in NY.

In Europe, they're blaming American society.

They don't consider that if one of the victims had had a gun, the killer would be dead long before he killed so many people.

What was it -----> Name it ----------->The police will check the records and will give the name ----->What was the origin ------> South Korea ----------> The president "what they want?" -----> Give the sincerest condolences -----> But it was permanent resident of the U.S. -----> back ----->Everybody will attend the Campus to give the condolences. -----> Not satisfied ----> It was undergradute English learner ------> NO.-----> The kid ------No-----> Gunman. ---->Blame the gunman -----> Take him in the custody -----> But he has already taken away his life.

You don't cry over spilled milk.

The kid was having relationship problem.

Simple, Liberal Lawyers, there is no money in sueing the guy that did it he's dead so they sue everybody and everything else. Its all about the money.

Genderbiased

It's 100% true the final decision to kill is the gunmans. But abusive childhoods help them to make that choice easier. Easy availablity to guns make it really easy, and if there were no legal guns then at least they could no longer blame society at large. Plus, no legal guns also makes it much harder to get illegal guns.

buddy

i'm a liberal and here's who is to blame.
letting a student purchace a gun legally who had been charged twice in the last 3 years with aggrivated stalking. background check my butt.
the police and university for not doing anything from the first series of shootings to the second set. a time span of nearly 2 hours. 2 hours no one did anything.
this gun was legal and registered. i saw the gun shop owner who sold him the gun on tv yesterday. he was just " oh well" he had the right requirements."
there are too many guns and they are too easily accessible.
plus every illegal, non registered gun...........what do they have in common? they were once legal and registered but somewhere along the way stolen from the so called "responsible" gun owner. great job guys.

Because they are politicians ...they don't really care about these people , they are just opportunists seeking to advance their sick agenda.

cyclops

They will , blame everyone but the killer, him they will try
to understand and forgive. Personal Responsibility, is one
thing they wont accept, Excerpts from the killers note, sound
like talking points from the average democrat attack ad. I
think the Media will somehow overlook this point.

Ya-sai

I believe the gun involved in Virginia Tech was legally bought. If guns were not so readily available you wouldn't have so many gun crimes. If a knife man attacked a classroom full of students, he would be wrestled down before he could kill 32, believe me.

skcs11

because that is what they do

jninjacash31

A person couldn't have killed 32 people with a knife.

I'm not Democrat or Republican. I'm a get it right. Screw the constitution if it is being abused. The second amendment was designed for civilians to protect themselves from the invading British... not each other.

This whole Right to Bear arms issue is a huge, huge issue and a huge, huge problem. If you go to a Gun Rights activist party you're surrounded by rednecks.

The gangs and little evil people like Cho, stand back and let the rednecks plead their case for them, and then go out and use the Second Amendment to hurt people.

I'm a strong believer that without guns people won't get shot. Yes, there have always been knives, and people will kill each other with knive... but not in mass. Let's go to war with just knives! If not knives, then clubs, spears, whatever.

The phrase, "Guns don't kill people, people do" is partially right and partiall wrong. People do kill people, but guns give them ways to kill them in mass quantities. That phrase was made up by some liberal to appeal to other liberals.

*****After the 9/11 aftermath, the President enforced the Patriot Act which enfringed on every American's constitutional rights... mainly privacy. Sometimes our constitutional rights need changed to protect us. This includes the 2nd amendment.

I could go on and on all day about this because of how passionate I feel about this subject, but I won't. I'm sure I will get sneered at, and many will disagree with this but.....I.....don't.....care!

Laughing Man Copycat

Please...even as a pro gun person, you have to acknowledge there is a problem with "black market" or "throwaway" guns. The laws are weak on enforcement and punishment for these crimes. There's always been good money in "gun running" and every time there is good money police and politicians turn a blind eye. So, inevitably when these tragedies happen...there's your group getting defensive. The more of these acts that happen ultimately effect you and your right to buy a gun. If you want to preserve your right...then you and your community better address this issue.

c.s.

The "talking heads" (aka news media and their experts) as well as the liberals have to blame someone. They choose not to blame the person who committed the atrocities. They instead, choose to blame those they can, to get the "best" outcome they want. Be it ratings for the media outlet, votes for their re-election or votes for their pet projects (aka gun control). They do not care to take into account the facts as they happened, only the 20/20 hindsight.

Do we want cities shutdown/locked down because some crazy person shoots or knifes someone, just on the off chance that person MIGHT do something else?

The news media, liberals and other talking heads need to quit thinking about their personal agendas and start thinking about the repercussions of what they are spewing over the airways.

For the same reasons the cons do!!

It's people this one that keep me a democrat!!

Remember when the video surfaced about a month ago of that 100 year old woman getting beaten and robbed by that ahole who happened to be black?
Well, I knew some lib was going to say it and damn if one didn't. On a local talk show some dumbass lib caller told the host, "If George Bush had government programs in place for that black man to utilize, he would not have had to beat and rob that old woman".
No, blacks are little victums to these people. Pawns they can use to spread their socialist agenda. Anything a minority does can be excused by well, they once were slaves and we had Jim Crow and internment camps, blah, blah, blah.
Liberalism is a religion and a religion is a belief in anything other than reality.

George D

They want everyone to be emasculated beta losers like them.

Sen Kennedy's DD

The gun decided to jump in the gunman's hands and use it's evil gun mind control and forced him to shoot all those people-yep that is about what the Dems will say happened, so they can ban guns-evil guns which prevent them from spreading their Neo-Socialist agenda.

Heidi 4

That is monumental with liberals/socialists: The first thing they think is who can we blame? Who can we sue? How can we profit politically by this?

They create loopholes in the law for the criminals, they feel they are exempt from the law they make.

When we had some true values and beliefs we did not have these problems.

Democrats will not learn because they will not admit they are ever wrong. They are hellbent on justifying every mistake they make and tearing down anything that builds a culture for good.

David R

I think you all are right lets put the blame where it belongs. Also since you all are in such a responsible mood lets put the blame for the mess the country's in were it belongs on GWB no more Clinton did this or carter or congress lets start putting the blame where it belongs so your not like Dem's.

bill w Go Canucks Go ã€ãƒ„ã€‘

You don't need my answer. You already see the truth.

Edward M

This question must come from a rabid republican. I must therefore point out that categorizing all democrats under such an umbrella is as ridiculous as saying all republicans are in favor of Bushes penchant for rattling sabers.
Having said that I must say that I agree with the rest of the questioners premise: people of this so called modern ilk do not assume responsibility for their actions and probably the best example of that is the way in which Bush is handling the aftermath of his costliest lies.
I leave the matter with the observation that "people who live in glass houses shouldn't cast stones".

bill

A big issue for the liberals is the fact that they think that if we would all just let the liberal elitists run everything, our country would be a utopia. For there to be a utopia there cannot be random pointless violence. That is why liberals must always find someone to blame besides the wacko with the gun. For them to admit that some people are evil and will engage in evil acts means that there cannot be a utopia even with the liberal elitists in charge. To this point liberals have not been able to bring themselves to admit that all cannot be solved by a great liberal government.
