They quoted one "threat" in the paper:<BR/><BR/>(http://www.oregonlive.com/news/<BR/>oregonian/index.ssf?/base/news/<BR/>1207364134172870.xml&coll=7<BR/>&thispage=2)<BR/><BR/>"I feel there is no choice out of this other than what Cho did," said a message Wong wrote under the name "thehumanabc," according to police. "This may not seem like a threat to you, but I'm sure others don't want to see it occur again. It should be a wake up call for All haters out there."<BR/><BR/>Out of context it's a little hard for me to read it as an out-and-out threat. <BR/><BR/>This guy has an FFL. I doubt whether he had any actual AK-47's. Semi-auto MAK-90's maybe. And only 5000 rounds of ammo? That won't even get me through a big weekend.Chuck Pergielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14473338620167201696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-27008809202290013152008-04-06T20:50:00.000-04:002008-04-06T20:50:00.000-04:00I clicked on the article a couple days ago but my ...I clicked on the article a couple days ago but my attention wandered when the author began babbling about devices used to shoot down aircraft or some silly thing.<BR/><BR/>The media doubke standard is puzzling.
