Jiverly Wong, a Vietnamese immigrant of Chinese descent, opened fire in a Binghamton, NY immigrant center on Friday killing 13 people.  When reports first came out about the shooting no suspect was identified.  I have a feeling that leftists all over the country were praying that a disgruntled White man, angry at immigrants, had pulled this one off.  It would have given them plenty of fodder for another month of anti-white, anti-gun propaganda.  However, there are some very interesting points in this case that need to be addressed.  Let me quote and analyze the following article (Yahoo keeps changing the article’s content):

The police chief disclosed that the most of the dead had multiple gunshot wounds, and that Wong had a permit for the two handguns he used…  Police found two handguns — a 9 mm and a .45-caliber — and a hunting knife. Both guns are listed on a permit he obtained in 1996 or 1997, Zikuski said.

You know that this fact HAD to be emphasized by the media.  He had a permit for the guns.  This is essential in pointing out the presumed evils of legal gun ownership.

Wong had been taking classes at the Civic Association, which helps immigrants assimilate, until last month. The gunman’s actions were no surprise to Wong’s family, the chief said. Wong, who used the alias Jiverly Voong, believed people close to him were making fun of him for his poor English language skills, he said.

Earlier reports by the Associated Press also revealed that Wong’s gun permit was obtained under one of his illegal aliases.  This means that not only was he not a legal gun owner, but he also had a fake identity and an illegal social security number.  Of course, they left that part out of this revised version of yesterday’s story.

I should also point out that this has been a major reason for the skyrocketing identity theft rate over the past 10 years.  Stolen identities and forged social security cards are a hot item for newly arrived immigrants.

Also, apparently we are now urged to avoid criticizing someone’s lack of English skills, or else you might throw them into a state of great despair.  All criticism of immigrants should be kept to a minimum, and any accommodations should be made for them regardless of their actions.

Wong was ethnically Chinese but from Vietnam, a friend said Saturday. He was angry about recently losing a job at a Shop-Vac assembly plant, couldn’t find other work and complained that his unemployment checks were only $200 a week, said Hue Huynh, a Binghamton grocery store proprietor whose husband worked with Wong years ago.

Well that’s a great reason to go on a shooting rampage, except for the fact that millions of Americans suffer this same fate every year.  Maybe he was upset that America doesn’t have a limitless supply of jobs to offer him and his endless stream of immigrant friends.  Or maybe he was upset that the government didn’t give him any additional financial aid.  After all, that doesn’t jive too well with the new American dream.

Wong, who moved to the United States in the early 1990s, had driven a truck in California before recently returning to Binghamton, only to lose a job there, Huynh said. “He’s upset he don’t have a job here. He come back and want to work,” she said.

So he has been in the country since the early 1990’s and he still struggles with his English?!  What sane country would allow such a thing to happen?  Do our elected officials really think this is the way to further the patriotic emotions of immigrants, by allowing them to not learn English for fifteen years after arriving here?

DeLucia feigned death after she was shot and called 911 to get police to the scene within two minutes. Zikuski said the injured receptionist stayed on the phone for 90 minutes, “feeding us information constantly,”

The chief defended the time it took officers to go into the building — an hour to 90 minutes.

“If some crazy lunatic decides to pick up a gun and go someplace and start shooting people, I really don’t have the answer how long for us that could prevent anything like that,” Zikuski said.

“What I will tell you is that the police did the right thing,” he said. “We have procedures and protocols.”

Well this is reassuring.  Yet one more reason to arm yourself.  But they will probably use this story as a case against gun ownership, even though a competent gun owner could have taken out Wong long before he killed as many people as he did.

State police got tips suggesting that Wong may have been planning a bank robbery in 1999, possibly to support a crack-cocaine addiction, Zikuski said. But the robbery never happened, and Zikuski had no other information.

Too funny.  I thought immigrants only came here to do jobs that Americans won’t do?  It’s nice to think that some of his government unemployment money was probably going to his drug problem as well.
