  1. There is a Guardian Angel for everyone you Know!!! Glory to our police . They Watch over us ALL !!!!

  2. asian male on asian male criminal

  3. Some students are so fat,

  4. If this happened by a white person they would be accused of racism and if it was happened by a Muslim they would be known as Terrorists!

  5. He's a Chinese Agent ,sent her to cause havoc. A spy.

  6. I bet you 100% he had more than one personality disorder, was socially awkward and had paranoid delusions. Mental illness is real. Take your meds.

  7. Which ethnic group causes most of shootings in America?

  8. I seem that this student had mental illness problems and his Advisor was " hopeful that that student would be able to keep it all together and finish school".
    Unfortunately, you cannot wish people out of mental illness.
    You need to take action and provide mental health treatment.
    It's very sad that faculty are not educated about this and also student are isolated and have nowhere to go.
    Life is more important than getting a PhD or a career…
    That's at least my opinion

  9. I’m sorry I have 2 doctorate degree but at most work places they gave me a mop to clean so how you call this shooter doctor ? Don’t inflate them unnecessarily.. that’s why they can’t get along with reality here in states and start acting crazy.. come on …

  10. asian nerds didn’t deserve this set back on their reputation😒

  11. I'm surprised that the community don't have existing mental health outreach during this difficult time

  12. Welcome to america.😂😂

  13. I"d guess somehow the Chinese gov is involved. It may be a stretch though

  14. How did the student bring gun into school.

  15. This is crazy people, US law should locked them up forever, to safe our children life, and public, there no mercy for these people..

  16. Blacks killing blacks. China-men killing China-men. And so it goes…

  17. pray to God, this was not staged. I’ve seen Asian politicians fight each other in court or over a ping pong match or at the poker table 🙂 not this. My conscience telling me otherwise. He’s quiet b/c he’s studying for his PhD, new to the country and speak very English. Nothing wrong or not normal with that. Travel else where and been alienated by the locals and see how you will react. Will see how this turns out. G bless America as always!

  18. Nobody call him as a white supremacist? I am disappointed.

  19. America can't get it's fill of flooding our colleges and universities with spies, smh! What has this country come to.

  20. Could be a Chinese spy acting on behalf of the CCP.

  21. This is not the way a man should deal with his problems

  22. Sadly all my friends were depressed during their PhD programs.

  23. Life is more important and beautiful than a thesis paper. I dropped out from my PhD program and never regret it!

  24. Throw him under the prison.

  25. Academia is a pyramid scheme

  26. He seems to get bored to make a change of his life by mudering. This dude does have a brilliant mind of a academia until becomes a murderer. He reminds the case of the unibomber late Ted Kaczynsky, a brilliant tangled into a haywire.

  27. Wow. Those sheriff's are so fit.

  28. Why can't we get the same swift justice for traitors to our Democracy.
    It was all recorded live by videos ❓‼️❓❓⚖️⚖️⚖️⚖️⚖️⚖️⚖️⚖️

  29. Did Biden comment on this?

  30. boy, that was fast, and it only took over two years for Trump to get arrested…..hummm

  31. Seems like the Advisors was screwing with Doctor students. Happens every year. Purposely making the upcoming Doctor students overwork their researches.

  32. My goodness, these lnceITypeGuys are getting out of control 😳

  33. Yellow on Yellow crime is an epidemic in this country smh….

  34. Chinese treats Chinese in an utterly cruel way. In any academic environment, you'll hear that if you want mistreat a Chinese in your lab, just hire another low-paid Chinese, these 2 Chinese would fight over a bone, so you could gain the most. For every "boss" or "supervisor" in academic, all you need is meeting their "personal interest" instead of your study/work, period.

  35. Too many sissies in the nation Gather all the facts and just shoot him By a 10 Man firing squad
