The sale of firearms to general public is the major reason for such shootouts. The govt claims its the right of a person to defend himself by using firearms. I think they should enforce laws to control firearms sale. In many parts of southern usa, you would find kids & teens having a firearm & practice shooting at the street walls and spraying on them ... these are very common.

Sorry but I could not disgree more with you. The gun is only a means to an end . The "end" in this case is tendency to go for violence . If the guns were not around he/she would use a bread knife to achieve end . The first violent human used a rock to crush the skull of his victim . Can we blame rocks? Wonder what Cain used to kill his Abel ?

Of course tool matters. It is harder to kill with a stone or a rock or a knife than a gun. Death rate is high with a gun than with other things. A rock is a rock, but you have automatic pistols, machine guns, shot-guns and so on which can give a sure death. There is a good chance in some cases you can defend yourself against a knife or rock and in some cases you can out run the other guy and escape. You see my dear friend it is the tool.
I am sure Dr Srinivas must have been a very innovative person who committed suicide by stabbing himself in the neck ! The American police are as corrupt as ours . They are a simply trying to cover up a crime ! Read 'The Innocent Man' the only TRUE Story written John Grisham . Musharaf must rueing the fact that he didnot get the American police to investigate Ms Bhutto death . They would have suggested that she committed suicide by banging her head on the sun roof of he SUV. Such crime against Indian students are happening too frequently for comfort ! The government of India must use every means to get the American Government to look into this matter more seriously. It is true that many a nitwit went to America beleiving it to be the land of 'Milk and Honey' only to realize that it was also a land of 'muggers and petty criminals' . But that would hardly let our government the right to remain silent .
To all the people in India who want to go to America, welcome to america where you can be stabbed, murdered, shot to death, mugged, and your body returned in flowers to your parents or relatives.

Vi Si, Do I seem angry from the message I posted? However you do seem scared of the coming recession.
What is the logic behind welcoming guys from "bekar" colleges and not good colleges? Will they do better in recession?
It's a free country, anyone is welcome as long as they follow the VISA process.

Nitin dude,
Just think, multiple stabs wounds on neck, who do suicide that way ?, also what is the need to come to US to do suicide ? he has already left the girl in india even if its a love failure case....

Pavan, Why should we speculate the cause of his death. If cops are calling it a suicide they must have found some evidence.
Although just reading the description it does seem like a really horrible way to commit suicide. But hey he was a doctor, may be good with surgical knife.
I'm living in a dorm pursuing my grad studies. In computer engineering in a California university. Believe me, it's very scary nowadays. There's SO MUCH RACISM ... I feel VERY SCARED walking to my dorm at nite. Have to...b 'cuz I have a nite class, then have to attend computer labs. Then finish programmes , compile & execute / run them. After that, it gets late. like even 1 a.m. All of us feel very insecure. 2 of my friends got mugged at 8 p.m. Think twice before coming to the U.S.

So you are trying to tell me you will never get mugged and robbed in India. Violence is everwhere may the poor guys soul RIP. I live in US too and had my my share of getting mugged at gunpoint , but I will never be stupid enough to think that India is a safe place.

Sreyashi...I sympathize with you. My niece barely escaped.
She was withdrawing money for grocery at a teller machine in South Central Los Angeles. Barely escaped...

Let me rephase what you wrote as a statement from Raj Thakeray to Lalu Prasad Yadav " lalu ji ...They are going there to earn Big Money....They forget Bihar...as there( THEIR) mother state. They are least bother about Bihar then why you bother about them ?????" Does it sound right ? If it does then what you wrote also sounds right to us.

Funny thing how you refer to "our administrator", it shows the classic slave mentality you have been brainwashed to.

No...it is a thing of concern. My niece had horrible experience withdrawing money from teller machine late at night.
Somehow escaped...jumped back to her car and drove off
The latest gruesome killing of Akkaldevi Srinivas under suspicious circumstances, in Pensylvania (US)- the fourth such tragic case in just three months' time,has become a cause of serious concern for all law- abiding Indians, and deserve condemnation by one and all, in the storngest terms.That the US Administration, supposed to be the most high- tech in the globe,with best of the intelligence sleuths and top organisation like the FBI, has not succeeded in halting such dastardly crimes against Indian students and scholars, apart from bringing the culprits to book, have indeed hurt us all, just trribly.Would the US Authorities take all necessary stepos, in order to bring the assasins to book, as fast as it can and also set in motion a system of surveillance, protection and alert, so that, this fourth case would be the last such case, and also adequately compensate the families of the victims?

It is time that the Indian Government took notice of the events and talked some sense into the US Government about the priority of protecting human lives in the US.
The Indian govt spends a huge sum of money to churn out doctors in the country and whats the use of them surviving if they are not doing any thing for their motherland??
RE:No good done to India

Do you think that the country should stop training doctors? What about those doctors who return to India after training a few years abroad and bring with them advanced skills and technologies? Instead of taking a 'frog in the well' attitude, do you not think that the government could do much to encourage doctors who gained valuable experience abroad to return and the populace could benefit from their skills. Would this not be a progressive step?
