  1. Didn’t this guy just make the argument that the Americans should engage in a never-ending war in Iraq in order to keep their domestic homicide-rate down; or did I miss something?

  2. Gee with the war in Iraq/Afghanistan, with my germanic heritage there should be bodies everywhere.
    What utter balderdash!
    This takes monkey see, monkey do to new heights.
    Thus because one or two behave like idiots, a lot more will behave like idiots.
    Ergo, humans are not rational and have no moral agency.

  3. cant wait for part 2 when they blame global warming.
    this guy talks about moments of lucidity and then babbles on, a killing anthropogist specialist?

  4. There are times when the CBC’s unwavering devotion to idiocy actually reaches a kind of perverse crescendo which just might be a new form of surrealism. I’m reminded of JG Ballard’s “The Atrocity Exhibition,” for some reason. You could look at this video as an example of art for art’s sake, if you’re in a generous mood. Or not.

  5. The first 3/4 of it was reasonable…..that thing at the end….well I was too mesmerized by Diana Swain to really listen to intently.

  6. That’s illustrative of the LIberal sense of logic.
    Draw a connection between a circumstance and an act.
    Then make the case that the circumstance is defacto responsible for the act.
    I wonder where they find these tools!

  7. “Give The CBC Another 24 Hours
    And they’ll have Bush pulling the trigger.”
    Give them another 4 months and they’ll demand to be installed as the official opposition,…
    give’em another 4 years and they’ll put a claim on the PMO as “Canada’s natural governing broadcaster”!
    Pull the plug on ’em before they totally invalidate TV journalism.

  8. What an idiot. As usual, this is molding the evidence to fit the pre-conceived conclusion. Even though we had our own mass-murderer here just a short time ago (Kimveer Gill at Dawson), and the only difference between the two was that the guy at Virginia Tech had a different plan.

  9. Listen to that guy again; he’s definitely on something. No, not on to something, but ON something, but I can’t put my finger on it, but definitely prozac, or THC or Smirnoff’s.

  10. I guess Dawson shootings were caused by our participation in Afghanistan. Sorry, my bad, I thought it was the work of a snivelling, psychotic nutbar with weapons.

  11. It is a well known fact that a psychologically stressful event like war results in the heightened urge to procreate hence the baby boom after the world war II. In other words the parents of the baby boomers had the urge to go out and boink not kill.
    What an idiot.

  12. We should all follow the lead of the passengers of flight 93 if you’re a student or if this is happening in your work place you have to fight, because sadly your death is going to be the outcome anyway. Just as if you’re women you must fight like your life depends upon it if a man tries to drag you into a car, because 9/10 times if the bad guy gets you in the car you’re done.

  13. It’s people like him, doing the professorial circuit who are part of the problem.
    His vest looks a bit puffy. Either he has boobs, it’s stuffed with down or it’s bullet proof.
    Then again, maybe he’s just a total boob and in good company with any CBC talking head.

  14. Hmm. I live in the U.S. and I haven’t met anyone desensitized to violence by the Iraq war. I think a much more viable argument about what desensitizes people to violence might be that they watch movies from hollywood or play violent video games. Honestly though there have always been nutbars among us, and there always will be.

  15. Kate did somebody fart in here?
    Jeebers, it’s the CBC stinking the place out again!
    I suppose it makes sense to those bungholes: ya can’t get hold of the victims or the police or their families for an interview, so ya find some cod gobbling retard from the maritimes to comment on the situation. Yup, makes perfect sense dunn’it?
    Sheesh. I doubt the CBC has never gotten this kind of exposure before. Hopefully they won’t again either. Surely you folks can find better stuff to post?

  16. The News station ABC has reported that Federal immigration records show the killer enter the USA at age 8 with his parents , but wait folks…..while the CBC gloats over how safe and moral canada and Canadians are I found out he entered the USA from Windsor canada to Detriot and now this begs the question if he was raised in canada and had the anti-capitalism Marxist doctrine fed to him by the NDP and NO-WAR yahoos
    that want to make the whole Planet a third world hell-hole.
    CBC also brought on a expert to confirm the person was very disturbed and to re-enforce the men-bashers that males are likely to be the killers by our built-in agression.
    But now he’s reported as Asian and South Korean from Canada, just wait until the CRTC hears from the Korean-Canadian community for implying his up-bringing caused it .

  17. Actually, that rule of thumb which Prof. Layton passed along at the end of his interview is a somewhat adulterated version of the old-order statesmen’s old maxim: “During time of domestic troubles, start a war, and prosecute it vigorously.” Such an old hardhead would attribute the mentioned murder-rate uptick to the U.S. losing heart in Iraq.

  18. Retired professor Leyton is just giving the CBC what they want to hear so they keep on inviting him back and mailing that little cheque for his ‘expert’ advice and panning his book “How to be Liberal and Get Away with Murder” ..!!!!

  19. “many human beings have very few moments of lucidity” NO SH&T BATMAN!
    Once Leyton uttered that statement, which is all too true, his own lucidity seemed to vacate him. He then went on to mention the theory of Archer and Gartner and said that IF the theory is true then we can expect…..
    That is one big IF. Before rely to much on that “IF” we should remember:
    “If we had some eggs we could have bacon and eggs if we had some bacon” (ya, I know that’s two if’s)

  20. I just watched the video and this guy is a joke, his big revelation is that this guy was disturbed .
    No doubt the issue over the 2Hr. gap in shootings will spawn a ‘www.VAtech-Truth.org”
    and demand an inquiry because fighter jets and Cops weren’t scrambled to shoot down this killer
    and or course, what was Bush doing and who gave the Stand-down order to not stop the massacre later on.
    Alex Jones will love this stuff , it’s all Bush and Chaney’s fault.
    BTW, France now reports that Bill Clinton was warned of 9/11 but did nothing and said nothing because Bush was to be sworn in as the new president in late jan 2001.
    Pretty exspensive cigar Bill, 3000 civilian lives just to cheat on your wife and leave Office to make money Speaking in canada about Moral values and ethics.

  21. Like I said…. we need MEDIA control, NOT gun control.
    Every time someone talks about banning automatic weapons, the counter should be, BAN AUTOMATIC LIBERAL KNEE JERK REACTION TO NEWS.
    CBC is a Liberal AR15 with an extended clip.
    Fox News is a down home common sense single shot 12 gauge turkey rifle.

  22. The idea is absurd, after WW1, WW2, Korea, there was a lot of procreation, as someone said earlier, but mass murders, no, sorry.
    CBC expert: anyone who’ll say what you want them to.

  23. If this guy’s logic is not faulty, then after 13 years of Liberal jigger-pokery, I should have an unnatural urge to start up an ad agency in La Belle Province and get on the Grit Gravy Train? Watch CBC, drink the Koolaid.

  24. What a joke–typical left wing response; calmly and glibly pontificate, showing how ingrained their BDS syndrome is.

  25. OMG!!! That was almost as painful to watch,as contemplating Sheila’s vagina!As previously mentioned..I’m also thinkin this guy is on something.Where does the cbc dig up this trash?

  26. Oh yeah,did any of you catch Bob Fife on ctv newsnet tonite?I thot he looked pretty disgusted with Dion/Duceppe duo neglecting to convey sympathies to victims.Lots of praise for PMSH bringing it up,as soon as he was on his feet to respond to Dion’s first question in QP.Kudos to Layton also.Dion did half-heartedly respond,after PMSH brought it up.Fife seems to be softening..guess he recognized how heartfelt PMSH sounded.Beauty.

  27. Blaming anyone but the killer is disingenuous but if were going to blame others I blame all of those who have devalued human life: SCOTUS, US MSM, Morgenthaler, Scott, SCC, CBC, CDN MSM, (most of them) United Church of Canada and especially everyone who opposes the liberation of Afghanistan and Iraq.
    If everyone possessed Bush’s respect for human life, we would have heaven on earth. No one in the western world over the past 6 years has endured so much aggravation trying to make life better for the most vulnerable and the innocent.

  28. This anthropologist is wearing a tight black leather vest like he’s dressed for some kind of video shoot.
    Need I say more?

  29. Well, somebody better tell this guy that he’s talking out of the wrong orifice. If you look at crime statistics around 1974 – 1976 (end of the Vietnam era) and in 1992 – 1993 (end of the Gulf War), there is no statistical rise in murder rates.

    Where did this guy get his information from?

  30. dMorris :
    One of the lowest crimes rate in the USA was during the great depression , but the NDP seems to feel that low-income or poverty forces people to become criminals , and Carrolyn Bennett from the Liberals said that a lack of National Daycare
    by Harper will mean more Prisons to house them when they become career criminals .

  31. I read Leyton’s book “Hunting Humans”. He analyzes several modern day serial killers/mass murderers from a psychologic and anthropologic perspective. He is considered a pioneer in this field. This book is actually a very interesting read and I highly recommend it.
    However, I agree that Leyton’s comments regarding the war in Iraq are nonsensical and certainly overshadowed the salient points he made.

  32. Annoying secretary had CBC Radio on (Toronto, around 2pm), an interview with a guy in the underground rap scene in Beijing. No, I don’t know why either.
    So anyways, discussion of restrictions, repression, etc. Interviewee brought up how Jay-Z was banned but No-FX was allowed. CBC guy said well Canada’s just as repressive, 50-Cent wasn’t allowed in. Right, because restrictions on the movement of a felon (like Martha Stewart, as well as Fiddy, Michael Milken, heck any non-canadian with a DUI) are equivalent to the repression of expression of the Chinese Communist Party. A tyranny that nearly succeeded in destroying a 3000 year old culture and was the most blood thirsty in history is just as evil as Canada’s restrictions on criminals entering the country.
    Egregious CBC bias and utter stupidity and depravity.

  33. Don’t be too hard on the CBC in this case. After the tragic shootings in Virginia, the more reputable news organizations (vultures, all of them) had already booked the more lucid analysts. Leyton was all they could find.

  34. Once I heard the same old tune of “alienation” & “exclusion”, I started to tune this speck out. I never did understand how someone not being able to fit in the fault of everyone else.
    I tuned in when I heard the explanation that some people turn to this type of violence when they are “denied something big”…which I read to mean something they feel they deserve…something they feel entitled to. Thought that was interesting.
    Even more so…was the explanation the war “desensitizes” people and that causes an increase in killings. Although I find that an incredible statement because it assumes these people get a daily dose of the war via the MSM which would then beg the question..is the MSM not responsible for these killings?? Heck..they expose the population to all the doom and gloom of the war and rarely..if ever..speak of the good that comes of it.
    Do we not hear the same story when it comes from video games…violent movies…music lyrics……????
    How about the simple explanation that those that commit this type of crime has a screw loose.

  35. If you believe that the CBC actually went looking for somebody who would blame the shooting on the situation in Iraq, I would say two things:
    Leyton didn’t blame the shootings on the situation in Iraq, and
    you’re suffering from a paranoid delusion regarding the CBC’s “hidden agenda”. Insert predictable snark on use of the word “hidden”.
    Anyway, he probably should have found a different way to suggest that we are all desensitized during times like this.

  36. Anyone who thinks the CBC’s agenda is hidden is retarded. They spin everthing left. Anyone who doesn’t see this is a leftard.

  37. Glorify a man who makes his living destroying human life and then wonder why the world is desensitized? Bizarro.

  38. This guy contradicts himself. First he says that this has been all planned out and he was just waiting for a final provocation. Then when she asks about the 2 hour time gap he says that it starts off as an act of vengence against loved one or enemy then figures he has nothing to lose so figures why not really make a splash (obviously I’m paraphrasing). So what is it? Did he plan to take out a bunch of people or did he decide this during that two hours?

  39. sf @ 6:46, while the Dawson shootings were tragic, a body count of one hardly qualifies as “mass murder”. You sound like the local Montreal media turning the VA killings into a sick game of one-upmanship.

  40. The idiots at CBC will blame the NRA as well knowing how stupid and rediclous are and i suppose they would have blamed the maker of the cross that christ was crusified on but liberals have rejected christ themselves

  41. South Koreans are much more likely to rampage because of the desensitizing nature of media disseminated from a massively violent Iraq, as opposed to the total free-media blackout of a massively violent and oppressed North Korea.
    It must be a valid theory to a communist…
