http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/04/16/vtech. ... index.html I know quite a few people who go there, as I went to high school in Virginia. It's weird, though...I don't feel as shocked or horrified as I think I probably should. It's just another in the tragedies of the world, you know?

I sincerely hope that the scumbag responsible did shoot himself and end his worthless life. A tragedy he couldn't have just done that first. |

Just 32 kills? What's the big worry? In Iraq 10 more people are killed on a daily basis because of suicide bombings. |

I'm always so afraid of something like this happening at my school. Although they've taken steps like locking all the doors from the outside after the bell rings and whatnot, except the front door. So the principal is the first (wo)man down. But still. |

Have a little tact please. Agreed. I was at a school shooting this september, though luckily one that was nowhere near as horrible as this, and its completely terrible in about every way. I am so fucking sick of these insane assholes taking everything out on innocent people. My condolences to everyone there and I hope they are able to eventually deal with this tragic event... These shootings need to stop. |

I heard about it this morning, but I've been in and out all day and even with the news on right now, I still don't really know what all has went on... I mean, I know the basic facts, but beyond that... I think there are a variety of reasons things like this are happening, and some of them aren't really reasons at all. We could discuss it for days... But ultimately, it sucks that students go to school now, not wondering if someone is going to break the dress code or smoke cigarettes in the bathroom, but that someone might shoot them and their classmates. I'll have to catch up more on the story a little later... -Tyrion |

I was just making a ridiculous statement to see how people responded...Can you imagine the headlines if this guy had 2 or more CDs from Manson, Eminem, or any variant of aggressive music? "Metalhead responsible for largest mass shooting in U.S. History." |

true, since WWII civilians casualties have sadly become infinitely more common than when wars consisted of two armies killing each other until one was gone btw this didn't take long http://kotaku.com/gaming/virginia-tech/ ... 252702.php |
