More Matt Frei

Not lying this time, well he might be but I don’t know that he isn’t.
At the end of the piece on last nights 10 O’clock news he told a little story of how he was talking to one of the surviving student who said that he wished he’d had a gun so he could have shot the killer.
Frei told that as a story of how fucked up America is, to me that shows what a fucking asshole Frei is.  He thinks it disgusting that someone would actually want to defend themselves against an agressor, that all potential victims should be disarmed in the childish hope that nutters will not be able to get the means to kill.
It seems likely from what we know so far that the nut job was mission oriented. i.e. the gun was a tool to an end not the end in itself.  Cho Seung Hui would no doubt have research other methods of mass murder had he not had a gun, would the students have been any less dead if he had blown the building up?
