Nope== I never heard THAT version before. Fabrikant had "problems"
with several people in his departement over RESEARCH CREDIT and his
ACCREDITATIONS ( and whether he was qualified enough to remain in a
research/teaching position ). Soooooooo.. one day, in a fit of
revenge/anger/insanity/whatever you wanta call it - he brought a gun
out and started firing in retaliation for this alleged "smear" against
him. 4 innocent and good people DIED -- cause of this-- animal. I was
lucky enough to not be in the university computer lab, less than 10
feet away from where this happened, when all this happened ( I was too
tired that day for some reason )  -- I count myself LUCKY !!

It's obvious you know little of the facts of the case-- and your
ignorance SHOWS !! It wasn't an issue of free speech-- and even if it
was-- was it worth 4 people dying so uyou could calla  judge EVIL or
whatever??
