Virginia Tech shooting

[Tobias]

Also, Jack Thompson has wasted no time in blaming video games for this.

Despite, you know, ANY background facts being known. Jesus. The corpses haven't even cooled.

Guys, I go to school 45 minutes away from Virginia Tech. A lot of my friends and my cousin go to school there and there's five people I have yet to hear from. One of my really close friends lives in Ambler Johnston where the first shooting was and he was one of the first people I got in touch with. (Thank God Trevor decided to stay down at USC an extra night to hang out with Joe.) This kid that shot up everyone apparently, from what I've heard form those I know at Tech, got dumped by his girlfriend and he went and shot her this morning then took it all out on a classroom full of innocent people. He knew exactly what he was doing when he chained the doors up in Norris Hall and when he went to Ambler Johnston dormitory. It sickens me that the death toll will prolly keep rising because you never know just how seriously injured the other 29 students and faculty were...

It's been a long and tiring day just worrying and praying you know? It hit pretty close to home for me because these are people I grew up with possibly seriously injured or, even worse, dead... Needless to say, yeah.


Y'all just do me a favor and pray for the students at Virginia Tech and their families...

Haha, frlz? Where's the report from him?

EDIT: Also, Videl, I hope everything works out well, as soon as I heard about it I ran here to Chubbs to make sure anybody who lived near there was ok. Keep us posted, I'll be worrying.

Leave it to that asshole to take a tragedy and turn it into a goddamn publicity stunt. Last I heard was 33 deaths, including the shooter. What the hell is wrong with the world today?

[Sammah]

Yeh, I heard about this today at the firing range and couldn't believe it. Some crazy news.

[Bojack]

Seems like all the tragedies of the past 6 years have been the biggest/worst in American history. yay for me D=

[Raditzu]

I just wanted to publicly extended my sympathies to those injured and the families who lost someone.

[Kirano]

Yeah I was watching Sky News. I couldn't help but feel for all those students who attended the memorial service.

[Jeice]

It was weird cause I didnt even know this happened until someone I knew told me...then I thought they were lying cause I figured I would've deffinently heard of that as soon as it happened. Then I saw it on the news. I personally didn't know any who went to that school, but my condolences go out to those that know people who have fallen victim to this tragedy...I donno why people have to do fucked up things like that...like, shouldnt that crazy kids be seperated from the normal kids.

First we drag out the survivors hours from the tragedy and put them on display. Then we make wild theories about his motive.

Soon will come the crazy rush for a scape goat, something to blame.

Will it be Asia? Immigrants in general? Video games, movies, or rock and roll?

Ooh wait! He drank water that day. Its totally water. Studies show 98% of murderers in the US have at one point drank a glass of water. Fucking ridiculous.

Video games have been inspiration for some sprees. There was that guy that dressed up like (Vance Speed?) the guy from GTA3 (who was black), and the two Clumbine d00ds said their massacre would be like a 'level of Doom'.

Actually, two people dressed up like the guy from GTA3 last I remember. Two different occasions as well.

I don't care if they ground up the disk and snorted it before leaving, you give a mental case something violent and of course they'll latch onto it, that doesn't mean they weren't fucked up to begin with and wouldn't have done something anyways.

[Bojack]

That's true.

I thought this one was over a girl.

[Jeice]

Honestly, Chris Rock said it the best. As soon as something happens everyone's quick to blame music, television, movies or video games...but whatever happened to just being crazy. Seriously, the majority of the world has seen the same things that those people have seen, and the majority of the world hasnt done anything like what those people have done...I donno I dont think I worded that right but I got my point across...or did I o.O ?

[Bojack]

Blaming music is perfectly fine. Video games is where I draw the line.

[Jeice]

If people are that easily influenced by what they hear, then they shouldn't be listening to any type of music.

You mean they were wearing jeans and a t-shirt?

I second what Jeice said. People are way too quick to discount the "fucking psycho" theory of mass shootings.

[Bojack]

They had that whole black vest with the collar all turned up. It was apparent.

I agree with the 'fucking psycho' theory as well.

CNN was saying that he had a long history of mental illness.
