What a gurless swine. He should have pur the pistol in his mouth and saved us all the expense of a trial. Had the courage to kill othes but couldnt do himself. I urinate on you, Speight.
wow. what a local Rambo. he makes me sick
Anybody heard if this guy went to Virginia Tech too?
THANK GOD!
Gasquote: "Had he killed a cop in this rampage, I doubt he would have been taken alive."
...and so it begins...
I bet his defense will be "not guilty by reason on insanity" do we as a people see what condition this world is in today, people are doing everything possible and getting away with it. We need to return to the Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Chronicles 7:14 says" if my people who are called by my name would humble themselves and pray,seek my face,turn from their wicked ways,then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Our land needs healing in the worst way, whatever happened to "In God we Trust"? Is it just for the money we print? I know that there are those who would like to take it off of that. Hope thou in the Lord please............
this man most likely had a history of masturbating in public is what the problem is...

Wouldn't a parent have to be insane to murder their own child?
Bringing up Virginia Tech... why is there no mention in these parts about the UVA student who killed his father in Richmond? Hmmmm....
"A parent" is singular.
"Their" is plural
What has happened in this world to make everyone so ignorant of basics? The subject of the article is a man. "His" is the word of choice here.
Hopefully the moron Pat Robertson won't say that the people of Appomattox brought this upon themselves like he said about the people of Haiti after the earthquake.
Law Enforcement is ALWAYS wrong per Gasbag. It doesn't matter what the topic. Goodness...Sigh...Blah
This coward Speight should have saved all the taxpayers lots of money and smoked himself....
Surprised,
Because he only killed one guy. That's freaking amateur-hour compared to VPI's recent shooters.
From AP story...
"Appomattox County court records show a concealed weapons permit was issued to a Christopher Bryan Speight three times between 1999 and last year. The issue dates match the five-year renewal period for concealed handgun permits under Virginia law."
Hmmm...
I'm betting he was a tea-bagger too.
I will never understand how a person could even consider killing a 4 year old child . If I live to 120 I will never understand .
Dakota
So why didn't the police put 33 bullets in him?
Oh thats right ... he surrendered.
doh...
I just hope the surviving family members who lost people they love in this horrible event never read the comments in this blog.
why he didn't go to iraq or afganisthan to kill bad people!!!
we live in a crazy world!
In the Dispatch article, they say that co-workers noticed a marked change in his behavior over the past few months, that he appeared zombie-like and paranoid. They also report that his mother died of a brain tumor a few years ago. This reminds me of the Austin, Texas tower shooter back in the '60s: During his autopsy, it was discovered that he'd had a brain tumor. I'm wondering whether Speight might also have a brain tumor.
