UCLA shooter: I killed my prof over code theft

Interesting omission

"The man accused of slaying a University of California, Los Angeles, professor in a murder-suicide had written a “kill list” that included a woman who has been found dead in Minnesota"

Guns don't kill people....

...coders do.

After the investigation...

...it will be determined that the student was in fact innocent. The culprit will be identified as the kitty, who shot the professor for taking too much of human's tummy scratching time, and the wife for changing to a cheaper brand of cat food.

Evidence, right here.

AMERICA....FUCK YEAH....

.......morons!

Bah!

PhD students routinely have their work "stolen" in that if the work deserves publication as innovative in some way, the Professor's name is on the paper and the student who did the thinking and the lab work (I was a chemistry undergrad) is listed as an assistant.

That's the cost of the doctorate. It's somewhat like Network Marketing scams because the expectation is that you will in time become a professor and do it to some other bright young things, thereby being compensated for your "loss".

The scam comparison comes when the educational system is flooded with PhDs, industry (where the possibility of patents might soothe the seethe) doesn't need any more and the tips managed as a Barista don't come close to making up for not being known as the man (or woman) wot invented the BUI (Brainwave User Interface) or who is not in line for the Nobbly Prize for sorting out that whole World Peace thing on a napkin in the Uni coffee bar one rainy Thursday.

I wonder what the wife stole. His vital liquids? His self-esteem? The affections of the Kitten?

Yet another mentally ill American with a gun! Sorry, but this is old news in the USA.

The gun lobby never explains how to avoid mentally ill people doing this kind of thing.

The "only" solution as far as they are concerned would be to arm everyone, down to kinder garden teachers. That's gonna work...

Debating gun law is futile, as pro-gunners are generally too thick to understand a logical argument.

Statement of Witnesses:

UCLA Professor Ajit Mal and colleague Christopher Lynch, the two men who ran to the source of the gunshots, and held the door closed at the scene of the crime, to thwart the escape of the shooter, told the Los Angeles Times:

… that Sarkar’s allegation that Klug had stolen his computer code was groundless. Lynch said all UCLA employees and graduate students sign over any intellectual property developed there to the university and, if it is subsequently licensed, enter royalty agreements to share in the profits...

“There just isn’t an issue worth discussing here,” Lynch said. "This is what a very sick mind dredged up. It’s delusional.”

and cue the hoplophobes

buncha psychos who think they can;t handle guns, so no one should have them.

ranting about killing people who get guns because having the thing means violent intentions.

But then these are mostly the same people who disarmed Ireland because they didn't want the Irish rebelling against them.

Good thing the IRA was all done when guns were banned, and no other means of mass violence became cliche.
