I'm so sorry for what happened at Virginia Tech this week.
I hate that people at my school scoffed at the memorial slide show we had this morning.
I'm sorry that there are multiple copy-cat threats everywhere.
It disgusts me that my school is under a threat for tomorrow, so it's going to be a throw-away day.
I'm sorry that we're giving this so much attention, but it is a lose-lose situation.
Everyone wants to know what's going on, and everyone wants to send their condolences to the families and friends, and everyone wants to analyze the events.
We all want someone to blame, someone to hold at fault and punish for this horrendous act.
But we do have that person, and his punishment will be very fair. It's not going to be immediate, but it's going to happen. I don't know when it will happen. But I have faith that it will.
I hope that by publicising this so much, we're not encouraging others to do the same.
What difference does it make if your name and face is plastered and played over and over on the news? You're dead!
And why do people like this assassian and others (like Columbine and the Muslims of 9-11) have to kill others before they can kill themselves? Why not just kill themselves? I know it sounds morbid and pessimissitic, but honestly...
I believe that the reason people like this assassian kill others before killing self is because they want to be rescued. They're in so much pain that they want others to know and save them. They don't want to die. They want to know and experience love. Why else would he have written those kinds of things in his English class, and made several threats, and waited 2 hours to start another round of killing? Why else would he make such a disturbing video and take those pictures, and send them to the post office? And why did the post office send them to MSNBC first?
That's beside the point.
This was an eye-opener. To me, it shows that it can happen anywhere. That we shouldn't push around the loner who has no one. Forget being politically correct! If someone needs help, get him help! Pay attention to what's going on. Don't overlook small details that could lead to something bigger and more terrible, like what happened this week.
Pray for the families. Just because you're not a victim to these tragedies doesn't mean you don't have to think about it or relate it to your life.
If a crazy gunman came into your classroom or workplace, what would you do?
Would you be ready to die?

Hmm...that is an interesting view. Firstly, I wonder Why it matters that Barrack Obama has little political experience and is young to be running for president yet every 18 year old should have political opinions since voting is the means in which presidents and government officials get elected. Isn't voting just as important as running the country? is it not the medium through which we the people can raise our voice and shout about the injustices, the iniquities? Through our vote do we not choose who will make the choices? And in many cases, if the choices our representatives make do not fit with our ideologies or views can we not impeach and remove them and then put someone in their place to correct their mistakes?
wait, wrong blog. sorry.
