The perpetrator in this case was not an American. He was a foreigner, something I suspected as soon as I was made aware of this incident. Examine his culture. You're saying "foreigners" are more likely to commit gun violence than Americans? You're way off on your world crime statistics. Not to mention that referring to him as a "foreigner" is really misleading. " Officials say Cho Seung-hui, 23, was an English major at Virginia Tech who came to the U.S. in 1992 with his family and settled in Centreville, Va. School officials say he lived on campus in Harper Hall." As a point of interest, my sister lives in Centreville and said the following (Ryan and Collin are her sons): Thank you all for calling with concern for Ryan. He goes to James Madison U. but has many friends at VT. Collin went to Tech. and is of course watching in all the news in Boulder. It turns out the shooter is from Centreville and was in Ryan's high school class. Ryan said he remembers him as very wierd. Two of the victims also went to his H.S. One was the sister of a former soccer team mate of Ryan's. Very sad. There is a huge Korean population in Centreville, getting bigger every day.
