Suspected NIU gunman honored by school: He expressed interest in social justice

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
The man believed to be the gunman in the Northern Illinois University shootings was a distinguished student in the university's sociology department, earning at least two top awards before leaving the school last spring.

He was also an officer in a campus student government organization.

In a recent posting on an Internet site, he wrote about his interest in getting elected to a national association, saying he was committed to social justice.

In a scholarly paper he co-authored two years ago, the man described himself as being interested in social justice, corrections, political violence and peace.

Kay Forest, chairwoman of NIU's sociology department, did not know of the man's connection to Thursday's rampage. But she did say the man was enrolled in her department last spring and had left, although she did not know where he went.

She said one of the awards he won is only given to "really good students."
Modern day liberals tell us that the disgruntled are disgruntled because of poverty,ignorance,and disease(PID).The truth is: overfed Marxists get violent now and then.
