Who’s responsible for the New York rampage?

By Michelle Malkin  •  April 4, 2009 10:29 AM

A sick, twisted, and evil man named Jiverly Voong ambushed an immigration center in Binghamton, New York. Recently fired from his job at IBM Shop Vac, Voong murdered 13 people, critically wounded four others, and then committed suicide.

It was a horrible bloodbath. Keep the victims and the families in your thoughts and prayers.

And then, brace for blame.

Because despite having no concrete information yet on what motivated this killer to go on his shooting spree, leftists have already decided: It’s all our fault. Who’s responsible? Click on the links:

IBM and corporate greed.

The Second Amendment.

The NRA.

Fox News.

Me. FreeRepublic.com RedState.com

Lou Dobbs.

“Your 2nd Amendment rights at work. The NRA is answerable for this.”

Michele Bachmann.

Conservative talk radio.

All right-wingers.

Look, I’m all for finding root causes.

But someone please explain to me how conservatives who espouse immigration enforcement and assimilation led a nutball of Vietnamese descent who reportedly could barely speak English to slaughter innocent people taking a citizenship test and trying to naturalize the right way?

Put the hangman’s noose down and try to make some sense.

Bizarro: Taliban chief wants credit for the massacre.

A Pakistani Taliban militant leader has claimed responsibility for the attack on a U.S. immigration center in New York state in which 13 people were killed, Reuters reported.

“I accept responsibility. They were my men. I gave them orders in reaction to U.S. drone attacks,” Baituallah Mehsud told Reuters by telephone from an undisclosed location on Saturday.

Details trickling in about the gunman:

The maniac who shot 13 people dead in a Binghamton immigration center before killing himself was described Friday as an angry loner who loved guns, hated America and talked about assassinating the President.

Kevin Greene, who once worked with 41-year-old mass murderer Jiverly Voong, said a question about a New York Yankees T-shirt he was wearing brought out his dark side.

Greene said, “I asked him if he liked the Yanks,” and “he said, ‘No, I don’t like that team. I don’t like America. America sucks.’”

The thanks we get, eh?

    One industry NOT affected by the economic disater is the Gun industry. Here in Colorado, the demand for guns is so great that many gun types are on backorder and it’s even hard to find ammunition.

    Is this a result of Obama being elected? Is it a result of poor economic times? Is it a result of the greater lawless culture? Whatever the reason for the spike in demand, it scares some libs. Kinda scares me too.

    …If someone comes in and points a gun at you, how much chance would you have to pull yours out and fire before you were mowed down?

    Given the element of surprise, any one individual could have easily been killed by Wong. But if others had been armed, Many innocent lives would have been spared.

    Isn’t it a shame that we’ll never know whether or not Saddam was ever going to get his hands on a nuke? Ah shucks!

    For those who still think Saddam had no connections to terrorists outside of Iraq…

    And – OF COURSE – it is Glenn Beck’s and the NRA’s fault these shootings are taking place…

    Maybe. And as I said before, I am not against having a concealed weapon. I’m just not so extreme that I think EVERYONE should have one and if you don’t, it’s your own fault if you get killed. That’s all.

    I think it would be extreme to expect everyone to be armed, and I’d like to think that we live in a peaceful nation where you don’t always have to be looking over your shoulder, but I guess that’s a thing of the past as well.

    Those trying to blame Binghampton and Pittsburgh on conservatives and/or right-wingers are the vile ones in this. They are so selfish and self-centered that they will use tragedies like these or the shootings on the Virginia Tech campus for their own advantage political or otherwise.

    For shame on them!
