Virginia Tech Tragedy, Why Is It Always The Schools?
 
I realize that this is a celebrity gossip site, but I am a journalist and this is world news which it affects us all.
Details are just beginning to emerge from the yesterday’s massacre at Virginia Tech. It seems a lone student, 23-year-old South Korean native Cho Seung-Hui is the gunman responsible for the senseless deaths of 32 people. An English major, Cho used two semi-automatic weapons in his killing spree – and in cold blood, methodically went about destroying innocent lives full of promise.
One extremely disturbing element to all of this is the number of wounds being reported in the victims, according to a doctor who surveyed the scene, there was not one victim with less than three bullet wounds. That’s hatred. That’s an abomination within our own species. Students who survived the attack either by luck or playing dead, said the gunman made a point of firing multiple times until everyone went down, and then came back a few seconds later because he heard talking. How vile, how evil.
There are rumors of a note left by the gunman, and who knows what convoluted, selfish, demonic reasons he had for shooting his fellow students and professors - and really - who cares. The end result is sealed. Lives are lost and there is no one left standing to be held accountable in this bloodshed. That’s what really pisses me off. How cowardice to kill so many and then take your own life.
It is days like today that I am profoundly thankful for my beliefs, for I am certain that in this vast universe this man’s soul is being tormented beyond our comprehension.
My prayers and heart go out to all the students, family and faculty - and the entire Blacksburg community. This truly could have happened ANYWHERE in a country where we all have the freedom to do as we wish. Which, apparently includes mowing down 32 people in cold-blood for no reason whatsoever at a place of learning. God help us all.

The two most popular places that psychos choose to unleash their fury are schools and post offices. Why you say? Because both are “gun free” zones - that buys them time while they are doing their evil on the unprotected masses.

I can’t speak for anyone especially for a killer .I can only speak for myself. Let’s take five seconds….. Just five seconds to think against the grain. Maybe the news media is lying to us. Maybe, just maybe he wasn’t crazy but driven to an insane action by those who felt too comfortable. They could have acted however they wanted cause either daddy or the authorities would fly in to protect these arrogant, spoiled kids. …… Once again I don’t know any of these kids. And for the families I understand the grief, but is it possible you didn’t see your little angels inter act with this madman. Is it possible your children themselves pushed him to this action? Would he have taken a different road if little Johnny was a little more decent to little cho.
Why else did the media stop showing the tapes? Do you really believe they grew a conscience. They now know decency? I can’t say, but I know people are seeing SOME truth to what cho said. They speak it to me without prompting. That’s why they stop showing the tapes.
Then again maybe these kids were innocent and cho was a complete nut.
Personally I never met anyone dead or alive who is innocent. I know your three year old is innocent but your three year old knows when, where and how to lie. No?
Maybe cho realized these college children would have grown up to be truly a negative affect on the world at large.
Tell me how different the story would be if we could go back and kill Hitler when he was in college. Do you really believe the media would have patted our man on the back? No! he would be a monster.
I really don’t believe any of these kids were Hitler but what if cho wasn’t too far from the truth.
I don’t know anyone involved, and my point is not to pass judgment on anyone.
All I wish to say is I’m really getting tired of the media and every easily lead moron telling me how to look at things. People, have your opinions and someone will always disagree with whatever your saying.
Stop thinking the way they tell you to…………….. Form your own opinion and don’t have any fear to speak your mind……………..
Remember if you call me names cause you don’t agree with me then you know what started cho….. Maybe your apart of the problem not me
