Virginia Tech

The title alone should made you sad and sympathetic.

A Virginia Tech student was behind the massacre of at least 30 people locked inside a campus building in the deadliest shooting rampage in modern U.S. history, the university said Tuesday.

The bloodbath ended with the gunman's suicide, bringing the death toll from two separate shootings — first at a dorm, then in a classroom building — to 33 and stamping the campus in the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains with unspeakable tragedy.


This happened yesterday, thankfully I know none of the victims but then again unthankfully it's a tragedy that shouldn't have happened. There was insufficient time or ability to send the rest of the students messages regarding the earlier shooting which didn't help the situation at hand but unfortunately they just weren't ready for it. But then again who could possibly be ready for someone to come in and just start shooting randomly without a purpose. Why do people do these things, what in their head triggers the thought that they want to go out and kill innocent people. I mean yeah people get angry because someone else does something that pisses you off, but that doesn't mean you have to act out your anger on them. I think I am not certain that this shooting all started with a girl, there's just no reason. I mean it's really no better than wars, which I also think are nonesense too. Not the people dying but just the concept of war. Just be you know, why bother with stupid things, why are people so damn greedy and selfish and just unintellegent. I don't understand half the stuff that goes on in this world but it happens and even if you don't understand it you have to deal with it. Everyone is affected in one way or another and it's just complete sadness.
