Campus killer thinks guns should be eliminated

Newsweek recently sat down with another campus carnage perpetrator, Wayne Lo, who on the evening of Dec. 14, 1992, approached a security-guard shack on the campus of Simon’s Rock College of Bard in Great Barrington, Mass. and began shooting indiscriminately. Lo was 18 years old then. He is serving a life sentence.

He claims he wasn't mentally ill at the time of the attack, even though there are "eerie similarities" between him and the Virginia Tech murderer Seung-Hui Cho. But here's what he never says. He never admits he's an evil, murdering bastard. He never admits Cho was one either. He blames everyone else for not noticing "disturbing" trends in writing. He blames loose gun laws for allowing him to easily purchase a rifle - and for Cho to easily purchase a gun.

There is no hint of an attempt to accept responsibility for his actions. It's everyone else's fault.

It’s ludicrous that they didn’t stop this guy with all the warning signs. I mean, come on, I did this 15 years ago. I was one of the first school shooters. The question is, how don’t we learn from it? They’ve done studies; they know the typical warning signs now. How could they not see this coming?

How? I'll tell you how, you festering, pus-filled zit on the ass of humanity. Because society refuses to hold scum like you accountable for its own actions. Because society is too busy licking the boots of the political correctness movement to have the balls to name the evil for what it is: evil. Teachers don't have the intestinal fortitude to enforce rigid standards of academia, but choose, instead, to allow stream of consciousness garbage into their class under the guise of "creative" writing and are too cowardly to call said garbage for what it is for fear of stifling "imagination."

Society is too scared to blame the man for choosing to perpetrate an evil deed. After all, we can't possibly suggest that humans should be held accountable for their own actions! Then we'd actually have to admit that humans are fallible. They can be evil. That might hurt their widdle feewings!

And what would this sub-human monster do with guns?

Ideally, guns should be eliminated, but I know that won’t happen. There should be stricter checks. Obviously a waiting period would be great. Personally, I only had five days left of school before winter break: school got out on Friday, and I did that on a Monday. If I had a two-week waiting period for the gun, I wouldn’t have done it.

Yeah. Sure you wouldn't have. You wouldn't have purchased a gun on the black market, where they're readily available and without all that cumbersome paperwork, right? You wouldn't have found another way to obtain your weapon if you were really determined to kill? Right. Eliminate guns. That way more depraved, deranged maniacs like you and Cho will have access to more disarmed, vulnerable prey.

Leave it up to a murderer to propose disarming the rest of society. Would you take his advice?
