A rant about debauchery? Lovely.

I misread your FOX comments. fixed mine. By "the former" I thought you meant "what news reporters formerly said." Oops.

Where did news reporters initially get that the guy was Chinese and entered on a student visa in August? That was what everyone seemed to think yesterday afternoon/evening, as demonstrated by the first post.

William, it seems established at this point that the perp was from South Korea, and was a long-time permanent resident with a green card.
