Delaware State University Shooting


How much do you know about the recent shooting that happened on a Delaware college campus that left two wounded? Was this shooting related to the other shooting of incoming Delaware State students that were shot execution style at an elementary school in New Jersey by illegal immigrants? Was there any connection between this shooting and the rally organized to honor the so-called Jena Six the night before? Is the fact that Delaware State University is historically a black college a factor? Considering that this comes four months after the Virginia Tech shooting, would it have been worse if awareness was not higher in the wake of Virginia Tech? Or is this just another example of our society and its ever increasing spiral towards violence?

Wednesday night on my radio show I have scheduled John Zmirak, editor-in-chief of “Choosing the Right College”, which outlines 134 colleges nationwide on the security on each campus, as well as the academic and social life on campus, to discuss the shooting at Delaware State University. He is a college security expert, and may be able to answer those questions, as well as inform us about the details regarding the stories of these shootings.

TONIGHT AT 9 - “A CONVERSATION WITH ANDREA AND …

Ahmadinejad’s pal Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez won’t be at the U.N. General Assembly today, a year after he called President Bush “the devil” during the gathering of world leaders. Is that sulphur I’m smelling?

Chavez is just way too busy at home in Venezuela, so he’s sent his Foreign Minister in his place.

Big Hughie is fluffing up the pillows for an expected visit from Iranian President Mahmoud AhmadinnerJacket later this week, after the pair chatted it up by phone yesterday following Mahmoud’s incoherent ramblings at Columbia University in New York.

“I congratulate him, in the name of the Venezuelan people, before a new aggression of the U.S. empire,” Chavez said, adding that it seemed Ahmadinejad was the subject of “an ambush.”

So relieved that Congress spoke out against The Mad Jihadi’s appearance at the Ivy League Bastion of Liberal Illiteracy. Oh, wait… are those crickets I’m hearing on Capitol Hill?

Well, while Third World tyrants and the Mad Jihadi are yakking it up at the all important United Nations, those same mute members of congress will be watching a documentary about the power grab of dictator Hugo Chavez.

The American Security Council Foundation has produced “Crisis in the Americas” and it includes interviews with Reps. Lincoln Diaz-Balart, Connie Mack, former Rep. Bill McCollum and former Sate Dept Official Otto Reich.

If you click on this link you can see the trailer for it. Tonight on my Blog Talk Radio parogram, we’ll be talking to Chris Brown of the American Security Council about the documentary and why we should be on our toes regarding ooo-go.

We get started at 9 p.m. ET — just hit the button below to join us.
