The Internet Was Wrong, He Isn’t The Virginia Tech Killer
By admin | April 17, 2007
“The Internet” thought it had identified the mass murderer of Virginia Tech University but it is wrong.
- “He is an Asian-American student at Virginia Tech University, whose personal blogs reveal a recently wounded heart and an eye-opening gun fetish.”
“But Wayne Chiang - the subject of fevered speculation on the internet - is not the man responsible for this morning’s massacre at the southern US university.”
“Rumours that Chiang, 23, was the mass murderer spread across the world after links to his various blogs were posted on social networking website Facebook and similar sites. Many noted the similarities between Chiang and the person described in accounts of the Virginia Tech tragedy as the shooter.”
“More than 80,000 people visited Chiang’s sites. The sites are decorated with photos of Chiang posing with semi-automatic weapons and Russian rifles. His last post before the killings showed him proudly standing alongside 14 Russian Mosin Nagant M44 weapons.”

Personally I feel that there should be a debat on gun law in the USA since it seems these things just keep happening over there.

I think newspapers have identified the actual gunman.
Also I agree - gun regulation should be imposed. Here in Canada I don’t know very many people who have guns, but in the U.S. it seems like everyone can get a gun.
The NRA’s defense for the columbine incident was that if everybody had a gun, once the gunman starts shooting, people would shoot him before he could cause more damage. They’re probably assuming it will be like the Cold War where neither side is willing to launch the first nuke.
But the problem there is if a group of people, all with guns get pissed at another group, you’d have massive death counts.
I just can’t imagine being in a school where you know everybody has guns.
