Blaming Charles Steger

The staggering loss of innocent life this week at Virginia Tech at the hands of a suicide gunman is bad enough.

But I fear the casualties aren't over quite yet. Over the next few days you're going to see the Main Stream Media (MSM) stoke a fire over who's to blame for this senseless tragedy.

Let me start this post off by saying, right up front - who the ENTIRE blame belongs to ...

It's the shooter - 23 year old Cho Seung-Hui - from South Korea. It's ALL Cho's fault. Cho planned and executed his deadly act. He could've had some help - perhaps the investigation that's going on now will reveal that - I don't know. But one thing we should all know - Charles Steger, the President of Virginia Tech - isn't to blame here.

But he is going to be blamed because ... "someone" has to be.

The shooter is dead - no way we can rip into him now in any meaningful manner. And shucks, even if he were alive we couldn't blame him - he's a minority - he's one of the oppressed. Why on earth would you blame him when you have a successful, white male available to pin the blame on. He's one of the oppressors - blame him!

And so it will be - Charles Steger is going to have a very difficult time in the weeks ahead as the MSM attempts to pin the blame on him for not "locking down" an entire college campus after the first shootings occured Monday morning. Nevermind the fact that it's impossible to "lock down" a populated college campus the size of Virginia Tech (26,000 students). Nevermind that - someone has to be blamed here and it's not the guy who pulled the trigger at least 32 times in cold blood. It's not his fault!

Come on people - how many times do we have to go through this Tom Foolery? We did it to ourselves on 9-11. Very clearly, the people to blame for crashing the jets into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were the Islamo-Fascists who hijacked the planes. But we didn't blame them - we had to blame Bush; our own FBI; the CIA.

What is with us? Why do we have to pin blame where it absolutely doesn't belong?

Who's to blame for the death of Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman? If the Police who investigated their murders were racists - does that mean they were to blame for the murders?

Come on ... we know who's to blame for those murders - and it wasn't the cops who investigated it.

Put the blame for the Virginia Tech shootings squarely on the shoulders of the one who should be shouldering it - Cho Seung-Hui - the guy who planned it - the guy who pulled the trigger over, and over, and over again. There is no way that Charles Steger could have foreseen what was going to happen that day. If he didn't do everything correctly, or he was overly conservative in his reactions to the shooting ... so what?

HOW WOULD YOU PERFORM in such a situation? Do you think it's even remotely fair to blame this guy using the unfair advantage of hindsight? Jesus Christ people - half of you out there will get stopped by a policeman for speeding and you'll argue with him and try to justify why you're actually right and he's wrong. But it won't you take a millisecond to lay blame on this college president based on what you're hearing from an unreliable media. It's just ... unbelievable to me. The guy did the best he could given the information he had at the time and the realities he was faced with. He didn't have the mighty Heraldo Rivera at his side to give him counsel on what he should and shouldn't do. Of course if he had - we all know this would have been prevented because Heraldo is infallible. Yeah ... right.

Put the blame where it belongs - on the shooter. Take comfort in the fact that there is a God and there is a Heaven and a Hell and this guy is, right now, burning his ass off in the latter. He's getting exactly what he deserves - just like the 9-11 hijackers are - just as Nicole and Ron's murderer will be. The man upstairs knows who's to blame and you don't escape his judgement.
