Virginia Tech Killings: Oh Goody, Another Investigative Panel
It never fails folks, let some tragedy occur and our "beloved" bureaucrats first thought is, "We need a panel to investigate this." Somehow I seem to suspect that Congress, both the House of Representatives and the Senate can't be far behind.
Folks, go ahead, appoint some "Blue Ribbon Panel of Experts;" Hell make it a Platinum Ribbon Panel, it will add nothing to the solution of this tragedy.
Place the same "brilliant" bureaucrats who came up with the idea, mostly endorsed and pushed by the simple-minded Liberals like those at the ACLU and other equally asinine, "enlightened groups," that it was in society's best interest to allow individuals deemed mentally deranged to roam the streets rather than being indefinitely detained, on a panel and ask them to please tell us how to prevent a repeat of the Virginia Tech tragedy.
The most probable result of such a boondoggle buzz session will be to point fingers where they already have been pointed, suggest the same old tired restrictions on gun ownership, and blame those who believe that freedom is more valuable than life.
Anyway, here's an excerpt from the Post's article (follow the link to read the rest of it):
Liberals, motivated by emotionally charged movies like "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and other such movies and books led the charge to "free these poor oppressed individuals" who, though they may be disturbed, had the right to think and act as they chose. The inevitable result of this Left-wing "thought" process and movement is that approximately 70% of those who were formerly institutionalized for mental health problems, are now institutionalized in our prisons.
Once more we are witnesses to the results of the "do-gooder" mentality. These do-gooders rarely give any thought to the end results of their feel good solutions to whatever problem has captured their fancy at the time. They lack the gifts of foresight and insight, being captivated by the cause de jour.
The most obvious cause of this Virginia Tech tragedy was the failure of "the system" to confine and treat young Mr. Hui. The warning signs were all there, including temporary incarceration for "evaluation," following which came the inevitable decision to release him on his own recognizance under the condition that he attend out-patient treatment. No effort was made to ensure his attendance, or to compel his attendance. He was, as the sad and all too common phrase relates, "allowed to fall through the cracks in the system."
Secondarily however, and no less important is the fact that through the self-righteous actions of Liberal school administrators and legislators, students at VT were forbidden to carry or possess firearms on campus. This insane paranoia about guns needs to be derided and criticized until legislators are embarrassed to broach the subject of gun-control for fear of being laughed off stage.
We have again been treated to the inevitable result of having a large population of people made vulnerable by their inability to possess and carry firearms. Every law-abiding citizen should have the right and has the responsibility to possess and carry, if they feel comfortable with it, a firearm.
If you are among those who are so afraid of guns that the very thought causes you to lose sleep, then perhaps your need first to inform yourself about the subject, and then, horrible of horribles try firing one for yourself.
Fear is based in part on inexperience and lack of knowledge. Most of those who favor some sort of "gun control" have absolutely no experience with firearms beyond the fantasies they have seen on television and movies...
It is time for Conservatives to step forward and end this nonsense once and for all.
The inevitable push by the Paleo-media and the malignant Leftist idealoques who haunt the halls of Congress like Dianne Feinstein, Chuck Schumer, and Hillary Clinton is coming folks, and it will be a wholesale offensive. This specter of lunacy needs to be driven to ground and a stake driven through its heart once and for all. Conservative legislators must have the will and the "guts" to stand up and call this anti-constitutional idea down for the lie and evil that it is.
Long Live This American Republic!!

Kaine Gives Panel Latitude to Probe Campus KillingsLiberals, who we all know have very short-term memories, like to place the "deinstitutionalization" of the mentally ill at the feet of President Ronald Reagan, but the truth is that it began far earlier.

RICHMOND, April 19 -- Gov. Timothy M. Kaine on Thursday created an eight-member independent panel, including former U.S. homeland security secretary Tom Ridge, to review all aspects of the Virginia Tech massacre, from shooter Cho Seung Hui's medical history to the school's widely criticized delay in warning students of danger.
Earlier in the day, the director of Virginia Tech's counseling center disclosed that school officials had not been told about Cho's release from a mental health facility in December 2005 with a court order to seek counseling. School officials said no students had formally complained about Cho's behavior in the 15 months after his release from the facility in nearby Radford.
In Richmond, Kaine (D) announced the appointment of Ridge and five experts from medicine, law enforcement and education to the group, which will be headed by retired Virginia State Police superintendent W. Gerald Massengill. Two other members, a judge and an expert in victim services, will be added soon, he said.
Kaine and Massengill made it clear that the inquiry was designed not to affix blame for Monday's catastrophe but to understand its causes and put in place safeguards to reduce the chances of a recurrence.
