(For once I don't feel like joking)Oh god. That got to be the most heartbreaking thing I have ever read. This is real news, and a hell lot more effective than just writing "X killed in massacre". God damn that f**king bastard for taking the pusy way out if it. He didn't deserve to die there. He should have been thrown into an isolated cell for the rest of his pitiful life, except for the daily visits of his close friend Rüthger.
Lets all just relax here. What happened this past week is very tragic and sad. The news will always spend hours on end discussing horrible tragedies, its what they do. Good news does not get reported, only bad news. The beauty is you control what you want to watch. IF you are sick and tired of hearing about the VT massacre, then turn off your tv, that simple. All I ask is that you have a little compassion. In regards to whats going on in IRAQ, its time to get out. We are in the middle of civil war, which we cannot and will not win. It hurts me to see how many soldiers and innocent civilians are being killed daily.I am all for better gun control. They should make it a requirement to have a background check, credit check, and a mental health check. Who is to pay for this? The person who wants to buy a gun, that simple.
"Never Forget"Sorry to break the news you, but people will forget about this fairly quickly and keep those godawful gun laws that facilitate events like this in place.(Guns for protection? Yes, I'm sure the 32 victims had a real benefit from that)
why not profile the people that drove Cho to become the person he was, the assh**es that do all they can to break a person, why not show those that felt better by putting him down to the point that he had to use a gun on others and himself.I have a feeling some of those he killed might have had some stake in what he became.
iraq is a war zone, first of all. so there is an understanding that loss of life is possible. virginia tech was a college institution where 32 STUDENTS had their whole lives taken away by a senseless killer. they were not at war, they were in class. they were taking advantage of the great freedom we have in america by going and doing generally as you please. sadly, seung hui cho used that very freedom against those helpless students. a huge difference
