Virginia Tech and The Tailor in Heaven

Hopefully this will be my last comment on this terrible event. As I watched the news last night, I noticed the continued and persistent effort by the media to find a reason for this. It was the campus police who didn't shut down the campus, or the University Administration, or lack of gun control, or it was too much violence on TV, or could it be his upbringing (so lets find out if it's his parents fault). A reporter suggested it was the fact that he was an immigrant and oh, we sure have immigration problems. One reporter even talked about all of the many social ills in this country and said this was the reason he did it. Not one of them, not one single reporter, not one person interviewed, not anyone said it was the shooter's fault or that he is to blame, or that he is responsible for his actions.

It is remarkable. The media are like the tailor in heaven (see the fairy tale "The Tailor in Heaven") in order to punish and judge a single abuse which they notice from our Lord's usurped throne, they grab God's footstool and hurl it down to earth - yes, to punish it they would willingly destroy the whole world.
