  1. Shame to see this. Never such incident happened in India.

  2. It is hard to imagine how a country without a gun control act can confirm the right of its people to live freely. It is ridiculous for America to accuse other countries of the world of human rights without guaranteeing the basic human rights of its own citizens.

  3. I would have been just like those kids jumping out at that window

  4. At least there more diverse sispects

  5. Horrible. Grad students are often subjected to unbearable stress. But seeking the death penalty can never be an appropriate response.

  6. I was on campus in Phillips Hall when it all happened, and it was a truly terrifying experience because we had no idea what was going on. We were told to shelter in place until we had the all clear. There was no reason for those students to be climbing out of the window like that because they were only putting themselves at risk. If I were to guess, I’d say that they were only trying to get out of staying in the classroom for 3 hours and sheltering in place. This is yet another example of how media can be misinterpreted.

  7. Good thing this guy committed murder and mayhem in Chapel Hill/Orange County. Despite the weapon being missing, with no motive determined, the DA/government in that county already decided “no death penalty.” No leverage in locating a firearm, not knowing anything about the background of the killer – par for the course in the same town who defunded, degraded, and demoralized its own law enforcement officers not long ago. 👌🏼 Playing politics is their lifeblood ✅✅

  8. Could be a lack of emotional intelligence

  9. We dun need gun control deeeerp

  10. Liberals running from the shooter, the weak will always be weak. One nut with a gun, can make all these people run. 😂

  11. I think a lot of the panic that spread like lightning around the campus and city was spurred by the Jacksonville dollar general shootings 48 hours before. That panic has already sunk deep into our psyches by continuous none stop shootings everywhere. Shootings not out of regular criminal activities like robberies, holdups, car jackings etc but shootings that come out of just plain raging anger. They don't want your purse, wallet, possessions etc they want your life. Many don't even have criminal backgrounds. Just plain evil with guns readily available (open carry permission) to relieve whatever grudge gnaws at them at any particular moment.

  12. Dang Media bummed about his race.

  13. This has become all too normal here in the United States, so many people just carrying guns. Schools getting shot up every couple of days now.

  14. Again…..? When will this stoo?

  15. The motive?
    Perhaps crazy?

  16. As a indian i'm concerned about the human rights in USA

  17. This will continue until we have laws like China

  18. Crszy I just seen a video of a PhD student that was injecting chemicals into his neighbors house due to not liking them

  19. I thought Asians don't commit crimes.

  20. That's so funny! And yall were worried about black people on campus👀🤣🤣

  21. I would do the same im not staying in a building with a man with a GUN.

  22. How Pathetic. Pure Media Scum.

  23. Wow! A college student at 34 years old? Seems kinda late. 🤔🤔🤔

  24. Welcome to land of freedom.🎉🎉

  25. Media is frantically trying to figure out how to spin this for the next election.
    I'm sure when they saw the guy was Chinese and not white they were devastated lol

  26. Chinese students always go for a Chinese supervisors and those ones don’t make their lives easy.

  27. 2 races commit 99% of shootings in America 😮😮😮

  28. Free the Asian he has suffered enough! Leave him alone

  29. This is great America. They have super hero but all are on vacation now.

  30. These guys were escaping lock down, not the shooter.

  31. The shooter is a chinese national from wuhan.

  32. Was this a hu white supremacy action?

  33. Bleeding hearts have NOTHING to say. (I)

  34. These types of murders should never happen. You are with people that you think are like you and have your same ethics and are safe.

  35. From China With Love ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

  36. He could be a spy for all you know, sent by ? Pretending to be a student?

  37. Post-undergraduate students from China have high chance of hating their academic advisor. The student-teacher relationship in China was a bit chaos. Student is like a cheap labor for the professor. SOME teachers holds their graduation for very long on purpose to keep the workforce. This is more common than you think in China (not every professor, but still high). I doubt they brought the same culture to the US.

  38. Was this possibly a hit from China?
    So sad.

  39. SEE THIS IS MORE PROOF WE NEED TO TAKE GUNS AWAY FROM REPUBLICANS!!!

    THIS IS THEIR FAULT!!

    TAKE THEIR GUNS NOW!!!

  40. He deserves the death penalty why let him live his life when took someone else’s life? R.I.P Zijie Yan

  41. Themwhite boys were like,,,, we ain’t waiting for the police lol😂

  42. Thoughts and prayers. <– that fixes everything, right?
