Kenneth Eng Takes Credit for Virginia Tech Shootings

Eng tells the Village Voice that his writings may have influenced Virginia Tech killer Seung-Hui Cho.

"It's speculative but I think that there is a good chance that Cho may have read my work," says Eng. "I might have had something to do with [the VT shootings] because it's kind of conspicuous that [Cho] would shoot all these people so shortly after AsianWeek published all my articles."

Eng also says that he had contemplated a mass killing when he was a student at New York University and compares himself to Cho.

Eng's column about why he hates blacks got him fired back in March. He'd also written about why he hates whites and why he hates Asians.

If that whole incident wasn't bad enough, now this video surfaces. This guy is really off his rocker.

Well, whatever you want to say about this guy - don't accuse him of being 2-faced and dishonest. This guy speaks his mind with ZERO filter...although I think he does exagerrate things for shock value.
