  1. Murderers come from all backgrounds and walks of life. Not just white males. Important to remember.

  2. Wooah Jackie Chan a murderer wtf

  3. Some people are annoying really, indians can be obnoxious sometimes. But no reason for murder

  4. PARENTS BE CAREFUL&🙏UP WHEN SENDING YOUR KIDS OUT INTO THIS 🌍 YES THEIR ARE STILL A LOT OF GOOD PEOPLE LEFT BUT ITS A WHOLE LOT OF EVIL PEOPLE AS WELL.

  5. How are you safe from people possesed by demon? The only safety you have is to align yourself with the God of the Holy Scriptures amd his son Jesus the Christ. The only thing Satan and his demons fear

  6. High school diploma college stupidities

  7. this is insane, Varun's just a year older than me and his life was ended so shortly. Can't imagine how his parents are feeling or the people on his floor

  8. Something about Purdue makes bad vibes. It’s a really stressful and hyper-competitive school. There’s a reason stuff like this keeps happening there. RIP Varun.

  9. Is there a motive that is known yet

  10. The perp was from the LGBTQ community.

  11. l love my family . the family in his mind is chinese community party. sha is chinese spy.

  12. Buy MedMen Stock In the Morning! Biden just Pardoned Federal Marijuana prisons! This stock going to go up Fast!! Set your Family up for Life. Buy…MMNFF.. STOCK NOW.

  13. I love my family???!!! Really dude!!! F****& your worthless family for raising a savage murder POS

  14. This is why I don’t trust roommates. I can’t room with people I don’t know

  15. I'm so relieved the university my child and his friends are attending were able to request their roommates. My condolences to the family.

  16. According to local media, Sha was born in Seoul, South Korea and immigrated to the United States when he was 1.5 years old:
    Even though he had grown up in the US, as fellow Korean, the face never lies. It's typical bully face in S.Korea

  17. Saying this is an extremely safe place after a murder is not reassuring at all 🤷🏾‍♂️

  18. This was a hate crime and the murder should be charged for hating a person so much your destroy your own life

  19. another foreigner gone! nice

  20. FREE HIM HE AINT DO NOTHINNNN

  21. No mention of motive??

  22. The devil is working overtime stay safe y’all

  23. That's pure psychopathic behavior if I have ever seen it.

  24. Wow u bury their son but the murder is let go
    Like prison is a punishment, but Jesus said love ure enemy’s lol
    Why I also don’t believe Jesus . Give death penalty and watch how he would react too that😂

  25. So sad. As a parent, this is my worst nightmare!

  26. He probably killed the roommate to take out the competition. Darwin's Survival of the Fittest.

  27. This is why i never understood living with roommates “ friends “ who you barely know. That could never be me.

  28. Hate against Indians is real !!! 😢😢

  29. MY FINANCIAL GOAL IS TO BE MAKING AT LEAST UP TO $1,000,000 EVERY YEAR BY INVESTING HEAVILY BOTH IN CRYPTO AND STOCK. I NEED GUIDIANCE. please comment below…,

  30. A student just died and all the university's president cares about is maintaining how "safe" the school is…..

  31. As an Indian deeply saddened may his soul rest in heaven …..n now i understand Robert Greene quotes very well as he stated how u can stir envy as human get envious and jealous n u might not knw about the hidden enemy.

  32. My friend's first year dorm experience at Purdue was horrible. Even he was a freshman he was assigned to an off-campus apartment which is 20 minutes bus ridding away from class buildings and dinning halls. His dorm mates had lots problems too. Nobody but him cleaned the room and took out trashes. Some played loud games to 2 to 3 clock's in the morning. One even smoked weeds in the room. The school and the resident assistant had no control over the situation and provided no help to solve the conflicts. The poor management from the school could be one reason that causes the tragedy.

  33. 1:09 good for you young man going to an elite school 🤙🏽

  34. I wish the cops were you had the suspect in custody who killed an Indian family of 4 and their baby 8 months old Aroohi, in California, If only you kept a track of criminal he would not have kidnapped and killed the Indian Family california police
