The Bollocksing of Everything :: SteynOnline

~The Brown University shooter has been found dead by his own hand in a storage locker in southern New Hampshire.  - Mark Steyn

The entire officialdom of Providence, Rhode Island celebrated by throwing "the most worthless, uninformative, cover-your-ass press conference I have ever seen in my entire life".

• You'll be glad to hear that the DEI Mayor of Providence has declared "we believe that you remain safe in our community." 
• He said this at 11pm last Sunday, but his statement was technically true because at that point the shooter was driving out of "our community" up to someone else's community to kill an MIT professor, who would assuredly be alive today had not everybody in Providence bungled everything that could be bungled...

Exit question: the twin-state killer was admitted to the US on a "student visa". 

• That presumably ended when he formally withdrew from Brown in 2003. 
  
• Fourteen years later, he obtained a green card under the "diversity lottery":

Obviously, any such thing as a "diversity lottery" is an absurd and self-mutilating public policy. 

• But was he in America for that decade-and-a-half between 2003 and 2017?..
