Agreed. And the guy looked totally creepy.

(I realize that it is totally irrelevant, but did you see her picture? She was quite beautiful.)

Uggh. HORRIBLE. I went to Wesleyan.. Biz Markie actually played at our Spring Fling. Middletown wasn\'t the greatest, but I didn\'t realize crime had gotten this bad.

THIS bad? :wtf2:

Quality reality check. A crime committed does not a bad area make.

yeah i guess not.
my brain has been immersed in microbiology for too long. but a shooting in a bookstore in the middle of the day is pretty brutal/scary.

It was a wierd surreal scene at Wesleyan.....I had just hit the record button on the first band, they announced who they were, and then never started as security was suddenly all over the place, and that was it..not a musical note, the show was stopped..Michael Ross, the President of Wesleyan, came out on stage after a little confusion and said that there had been a shooting involving a student and asked the partying crowd of a few hundred to please leave the hill and go back to their dorms immediatly so the police could sweep the hill/concert area because the suspect was still at large and possibly on the school property, the shooting happening in the Wesleyan Bookstore .... the crowd did as he said and were gone in a few minutes and the cops and security swept the area...they left me and another taper named Dave alone as we packed up as they swept by ....I knew the sound company guys, ACE music, so we hung with them under the canopy at the sbd, had a beer and waited to see what was going to happen, if the show was going to go on.....so we waited, at about 3:00PM the sounds guys were told to pack it up, show cancelled...they bands got paid, but not a note was played...it was the strangest thing that has ever happened to me at a show...I felt really band for the students whose senior big blow out weekend was nixed, but I didn\'t realize until I got home that the girl actually died..all wery sad indeed....

more use to one housewife poisoning another housewife because she is in love with the other housewife\'s husband.

Shootings never happen here.

Fine. I\'ll stop trying to poison that housewife. But I saw you first.

Why is the media listing a possible anti-semitic motive? Because there is an actual basis or more simply the school has a decent Jewish population and there is nothing else to do but speculate and make people scared so they will watch more news?

From what I just read she originally attended NYU and I guess that is where these 2 people originally met. I guess the girl complained about this guy a year or so ago.

I would think the anti-semetic stuff probably comes from stuff they may have found at his place etc.

My guess is this guy probably has a mental issue. And it has probably gotten progressively worse over the years. He was probably obsessing over this girl and perhaps in his delusions "the jews" slipped in to his paranoia

There are 2 pictures on CNN of him. 1) he looks kind of clean cut. 2) the surveillance video shows a Una-Bomber looking like guy.

I heard, and again this is the rumor in the news, that he had written things about killing people at the school in his personal journals. Included in those journals were some derogoratory comments/threats regarding Jewish people as well.

Why is it that sociopaths keep journals?

Thanks. The AP story I read did not provide enough detail.
