In an English-translated transcript provided by the Justice Department, Neves Valente said he felt he had nothing to apologize for. He also complained in the videos about injuring his eye in the shootings.
“I’m not going to apologize because during my lifetime no one sincerely apologized to me,” he said.
He explicitly addressed baseless claims spread by conservative influencer Laura Loomer after the attack that the Brown shooter had spoken in Arabic, saying something like “Allahu Akbar” upon entering the auditorium.
Neves Valente said he didn’t speak a word of Arabic or intend to make any kind of statement. If he said anything, he “must have made an exclamation like, ‘Oh no!’ or something like that,” to express disappointment that the auditorium appeared to be empty when he entered, he said. Students were hiding under desks, but Neves Valente thought they’d already escaped through an emergency exit.

Ironically MukhammadAziz Umurzokov is muslim and so was Bondi beach hero. I wonder if Islamophobs feel a little bit ashamed now?
Islamophobes don't feel shame, ever.
Because everything they hate about others is a projection of themselves.
Similar to Trump haters?

The overlap in that Venn diagram is pretty significant.

I would like to hear more about the homeless graduate that is apparently unable to be gainfully employed for whatever reason (mental illness, drug addiction?) …yet is allowed to live/loiter on campus despite having no legitimate purpose to be there. Is this common?
Are you talking about the hero who actually solved the case?
Hero? He didn’t save anyone or prevent the Brown shooting (or subsequent MIT shooting). He helped police find the killer’s dead body sooner. The killer shot himself Monday shortly after he killed the MIT professor.
Nobody knew he was dead. Reddit helper was trying to not only solve the case but also stop more killings.
The homeless guy had an odd encounter with the shooter hours prior to the shooting where they exchanged some unfriendly words- and he noted the Florida license plate. So…you have this encounter- then hours later the shooting happens and the shooter’s picture is all over and the homeless man doesn’t reach out to police? WTH. Instead he posts on Reddit? The police had to go looking for him and it was several days later until they connected with him. If he would have called the police right after the first shooting happened, potentially they would have found him before he went to MIT
So, you're saying that the US should demilitarize the police and decriminalize homelessness, so that fellow citizens with important contributions to public safety feel safe talking to authorities?
I agree

I am sure they will scream about it and it probably will change at Brown, but not everywhere else that has the same or even fewer security measures.
It takes a shooting for a school to change. But no amount of shootings will make our laws change.
