Santa Clara office shooting ~ laid-off employee kills CEO

[RayAir1]

Was that guy using an i355??

[browneyes4]

it's sad, but these types of killings are generally a result of office politics!

[adolfhilter]

Rumor has it... Chan's intended target was this VP of Engineering, but he was not at scene. The irony is now this VP is promoted to be the new CEO.

[Seeker1898]

What do you all expect? The guy got laid off and probably had no money saved up to financially support himself. Don't ever touch a man's money!!!! The worse the economy gets, the more this will probably happen. Expect it!!! I'm sorry to say it but it's a VERY TRUE REALITY!!!

[mangarda]

There's no reason we should have to "expect" something like this to happen every time we have a round of layoffs. My dad has been laid off many times and he's certainly never shot anyone for it.

We should be making sure that people who get laid off have stronger support systems to help them while they're in between jobs, so they don'f fall into this kind of desperation. Don't just sit by and accept it as a "very true reality."

If you're not a part of the solution, you're part of the problem!

[sharkl11]

he ever got caught??

[DancingSpiderman]

Oh YEAH, I almost ferGOT...

I wish that the President-Erect would change his first name (at least) before he becomes the Pres -- Please change yer name to Bob Obama , or even better, Bob O'Riley.

[DancingSpiderman]

Oh CRAP... I take back whut I sed about that, it's only typical white guys who do this sort of Going Postal shit...

Hey little Asian dude, why did you have to go and shatter my WorldView that it's only mollycoddled white guys that kill because you can't handle losing yer yob?!?

Crap, the World doesn't work right anymore...

[stupidgauls]

Ronald Ebens and Michael Nitz beat Vincent Jen Chin to death with a baseball bat. The killers were found not guilty by the US judge. Chai Vang shot and killed six white racists and he is still alive. That's American way.

[KhmerSerey1]

They are all American citizens,very bright people,most of the time,they shall be judged in accordance to the law of this great land,the victims and the suspect alike.

[desampa23]

That's a terrible tragedy. I wonder how their families are doing now.

[adolfhlter]

This is a tragedy for both the victims and the shooter. Management at SiPort should also be blamed for. A cornered tiger is the most dangerous. When an employee is forced to do something like this, management is not innocent. Plus it is a fact that those companies run by Ind__s usually keep their own while firing/laying off others. Feel free to disagree with me.

[stupidgauls]

Political power grew from the barrel of gun. Weapons sometimes bring equality. Now that three are dead, the gunman is still alive and well. Their families are equally suffering. Hopefully, the shooting will make people try to understand each other more.

[baxegy]

I know of at least one other Indian run company where they practiced this type of discrimination. I suspect there are others. Like I said, I don't condone the use of violence. But if there is a positive to be gained from this tragedy, it's that it makes those scumbags planning this sort of discrimination think twice, at least, if they are wise.

[benz4life]

man that idiot is stupid killing ppl

[ColeLite]

KhmerSerey1 I have more respect for baxegy's brains than yours. True, he's a dumbass. But to this you add such a silly girlishness that it makes me sick! Of course, if I barf, I want my vomitus to land on him.

[KhmerSerey1]

colelite and baxegy,the both of you could use a hug,do so now hahahaaaa..

[KhmerSerey1]

I for one am glad we got a black man for president,it show that we're not a country of racist any longer,America have spoken and we have spoken clearly,racism is no longer tolerated in this country of our,we all help built,we'ves chosen the man most qualified for the job,Obama will do just fine,he's neither white or black,he's both,it's better Obama then the good reverend Jesse Jackson ;),support our president,it's only a four years term for christ sake,let him serve in peace.

[KhmerSerey1]

A day in disneyland will do Mr Wu some good,SiPort is an IC integrated circuit wafer chips company,how can such an ugly thing happened to such a happy place ? ;)

[KhmerSerey1]

If you channel your brain properly,the use of hand gun is completely unecessary.Obviously he's a lousy engineer,this is simply poor calculation,very messy work.He made too much splashes.

[KhmerSerey1]

Engineer yourself out of this mess mate !! if you could.

[KhmerSerey1]

That's despicable mate,i'm disgusted,i think a death penalty is in order here.

[stupidgauls]

Everyone has a freedom to take justice into his own hands, and then face the law. It's action and reaction. Everyone dies. Some sooner some later. The guy achieved justice, at least in his own view.

[ColeLite]

Sorry Sissyman (Baxegy), I dosed off in the middle of your hysterics.

[baxegy]

Aww Cole, your just a hater, a goon marginalized by civil society who sits outside of the law. How it must feel to be irrelevant, left behind by advancing history, yearning for the good old naZi days. Pathetic I should say.

[baxegy]

your president is a black man - show some respect

[ColeLite]

BAXEGY: My president is a lying, racist, marxist Negroid from the political sewer that is Chicago.

[baxegy]

He's president-elect of the most powerful country in the world. He'll be calling the shots soon. Such power can also be yours. For an insignificant prick like you, it's just a wet dream away. Like Khmer noted, the country voted, so learn to swallow when Barack comes ... to power. - Heh heh heh, you of feeble intellect.

[ColeLite]

Baxegy: Power like that for me is impossible. Only a lying, racist, marxist Negroid from Chicago could get a coalition of stupid men, females, naive young people and ALL Negroes to vote his way. But thanks.

[baxegy]

You're even incapable of emulating lying George W who got C's and D's at Yale. There's no depth low enough to gauge the measure of a piece of shit like you. In this time your type has become inconsequential, defeated, chased into the shadows. Time for you to crawl back under your rock like the reptilian scum that you are. But first, don't for get to kiss my black presidential ass. - Barack heh heh heh ... burns you to have to swallow this doesn't it!

[riceandpeas1]

Cole, hurry come up here and kiss mah black presidential ass you piece of racist shit - your loving (black) President, B Obabma.

[adolfhlter]

The wacked CEO had a bad business reputation in the bay area. Those companies are notoriously cheap towards their employees. Kill one, terror a thousand. Wu sure has done well on this. Rumor says Wu missed his intended target, the VP of engineering, now the new CEO.

[paulbmxkid]

later news reports state that he was fired for poor performance, not being laid off...

[stupidgauls]

That could explain it. Firing a person for poor performance could save the company a lot of money, such as severance pays and insurance. If Wu felt that he was wronged, he would act like a typical Chinese, to correct the wrong all by himself.

[stoicman31]

These are uncertain times, people should prepare themselves for lay-off. At my job people are getting laid off almost daily and there isn't much anyone can do about it...it's a slow economy and maybe people will start the habit of saving when this is over with.

[stupidgauls]

This guy has been in the industry for many years, being laid off is just routine... But he wasn't laid off. He was fired, meaning he loses severance pay and benefits. An CEO might thought that could save a bundle in hard times. If that's the case, they should know that a typical Chinese simply cannot take this kind of treachery and insult. There is a Chinese saying: a man can't be killed, but can't be insulted. A true tragedy.

[baxegy]

Indians run companies usually fire the Chinese and Vietnamese workers before they'd let go one of their own.

[focuslighting]

That is why maybe got shotted.

[baxegy]

it wouldn't surprise me at all. that being said, i do not condone this type of violence. a lawsuit would better serve the community. i think the shooter is a loser who ruined his victims and their families lives and his own family's life. having said that, i don't condone racial discrimination either and hope this will perhaps give pause to those considering it at this time.

[stupidgauls]

A lawsuit? He will then be mistreated by corrupt judges and courts. The shooter taught people a lesson: don't poke Chinese just because they seem to be nice. Don't take their kindness as weakness. We don't know what led to the tragedy, but the guy was not insane. He didn't randomly shoot people, he was precise. We can say he overreacted, but who knows? Right now, he is innocent until proven guilty by jury.

[r31ncarnat3d]

Hey, FUCK YOU! The CEO shot was my friend's father, and if you're implying it was his fault, then you can burn in hell along with this man! Chinese or not, he was still a coward and he deserves to rot in hell. He was laid off not because he was Chinese, but because he was pathetic. He should have taken it like a man and looked for work elsewhere, instead of tearing families apart.

I hope to God that he spends the rest of his life a broken man, like the pathetic little pussy he is.

[baxegy]

No, FUCK YOU! While I don't condone violence, I also don't condone racial discrimination. As many of the posts allude, this case reeks of racial discrimination. You claim to know the details of why he was laid off? I think not, so don't speak out of turn. It's quite possible that your friend's father got exactly what was coming to him. I am not say it was so, I'm just saying it's possible.

[r31ncarnat3d]

Where the hell did I discriminate against race?

[focuslighting]

You might go the hell first to tell your friend's father : Don't take people's kindness as weakness

[r31ncarnat3d]

How would you know he was kind? Because he was Chinese? Sounds to me like the racial profiling goes both ways.

Look, I'm Viet myself, and I'll say this: I've met some pretty amazing Viet people in my life, along with some extremely shitty people who'll go nowhere in life. The same goes for any race. The color of your skin does not have anything to do with your character.

So unless you can show that Wu was kind somehow, your argument is void and pointless.

[baxegy]

The implication of racial discrimination was not leveled at you. Do you really need me to spell it out for you?

[baxegy]

You're right ... evidence

April 16, 1999 Paterson New Jersey

Two males were placed on five years of probation for their participation in a 1997 racially motivated assault of a Chinese man.

February 25, 1999 Hackensack New Jersey

Two males were convicted of aggravated assault and riot and two others were convicted of simple assault and riot for the 1997 racially charged beating of a Chinese man.

[stupidgauls]

The 2nd amendment does not have a role in assuring the liberty and the rights of people. Anyone who wants to do something extreme must think twice -- will he take a bullet for the acts. Right now, Americans are arming themselves. Rifles are out of stock everywhere.

[azintp]

it is ashame how companies treat people.

[sexguyy]

fuck you.

[ColeLite]

Once again, another non-white immigrant murders in this country.

[intellectuallygifted]

he killed other non-white immigrants, why do u care

[ColeLite]

Why would I care about the color of the VICTIMS genius! What matters is WHO'S DOING THE KILLING in this country. My god are you stupid!

[yumianhuli]

percentage wise, asian seldom do crimes, much lower than whites. check the statistics. so give me that yet another shit.

[ColeLite]

Non-white IMMIGRANTS! Learn to read, stupid.

[riceandpeas1]

Obama, a black man is your president. If I were your president, I'd castrate you so that you could not spawn further.

[ColeLite]

RiceAndPeas: Spawn!!! Sorry, procreating like animals is what the American Negro does.

[riceandpeas1]

Well you can just come over here and kiss my black presidential ass you little piece of shit - Barack :-) :-) :-)

[baxegy]

Hey ColeLite, count it: intellectuallygifted, yumianjuli, riceandpeas, baxegy all think you're a piece of shit. Rest easy son, while the Obama squad gathers to kick your sorry ass back into the stone age where you belong.

[ColeLite]

Baxegy: Only a female or a boy would look to see how many people in a room agree with their view. You do realize, this makes you a coward.

[baxegy]

Coward is as coward does. Your crowd runs around with pajama hoods over their heads, burns down churches in the night and beats up old black women and children. If you were standing in front of me right now, you'd see who the real coward was, I guarantee you with every fiber of my being. That you are a hater is transparent for all to see.

[baxegy]

Come kiss my black presidential ass Colelite! Heh heh heh.

[riceandpeas1]

your daily reminder from your current (black) president ... come kiss my black ass ... hehhheheh - Barack O

[riceandpeas1]

No riceandpeas1 ... go get your own handle ... comoe kiss my black ass!

[riceandpeas1]

Cole, thanksgiving reminder to come over here boy and give thanks to my black ass by kissing it twice, no tongue though, you racist bitch. - Barack
