also the shooting started at a dorm building then 2 hours later he started shooting people at a building across campus. Why in the hell did it take 2 hours for something to be done. people should have been notified immediately what the hell.

I don't understand the need to have guns like people do anymore!!!!! It is getting ridiculous!! It doesn't matter if you are at school, the mall, the street or what, some fucked up individual has to go out and shoot innocent people!!!

I can understand the cops with guns, or if you are hunting game..........but nobody else really needs to have a gun anymore!! This isn't the 'wild, wild west' afterall, we are supposed to be civilized!!!

I don't get it.

It's especially sad that there was a two hour span between shootings and it got to the point that it did where 30+ people have lost their lives, and all the shooter was looking for was his girlfriend, just baffles the mind that someone can sink to that level to want to take not only his own life but that of over 30 others just for his suffering.

Thoughts and prayers all to those at VA Tech and their families, definitely will be a day forever etched in history.

I can't even imagine going through any of that..
Definetly praying for everyone involved.

It's real sad to hear kids talk about being afraid to go to school.

I bet there will be tightened security on all campuses nationwide. All gunstores within walking distances to campus will prolly be scrutinzed.

What is pissing me off is the media. It hasnt been one day and the media are frothing at the fucking mouth to try and get information and crying students... I swear to god it seems like the media is acting like.. FINALLY somehing tragic to report... Lets ask a bunch of stupid questions right out of the gate. Hey maybe this random fuck knows everything about what happened.. lets ask him or her. Plus the specualtion... terrorism... Chiense plot .. yadda yadda..... or some fucking moronic student who didn't get the date he wanted.

I hate that it happened. Especially that Holocaust survivor german teacher who held the door taking bullets while his students escaped. He should have a posthumous medal or something. Im sure there will be other tales. But we all have to give it time.

Prayers to all of the VT students and families who Visit RMM And I am sorry for your loss.

What a sad stupid act, and from what I gather from the media he took the cowardly way out and killed himself.
Personaly I think they should now take his body and hang it in the public square and let the birds pick his corpse to the bones. Maybe that would discourage any wannabe copycats to think again.
On the gun issue and I do believe in the right to bear arms (i know this is 'overstated?') People kill People guns don't. There are lots of ways to kill other than with guns, thank god he didn't just throw pipe bombs into each classroom as he passed.
What if a few of those people were packing guns themselves? A person may think twice if they think someone might shoot back.
It was just a sad senseless cowardly act and my thoughts go out to all the families.

My prayers to the friends, familys and loved ones of any there or that it has touched , it is a sad day for the world when something like this happens .. Its just pisses me off that the media is doing what there doing , and that the guy offed himself thats a much to easy way out , he should have been made to spend some time alone with the familys of those that lost there lives , Those victim impact statements stay with a person beyound anybody comprehension , and he deserved some serious beating for what he did and how he did it ..

Prayers to all .

It is a tragedy of monumental proportions that is for damn sure. In Australia this fits in the "Only in America" category!

I hate to say it but the precious constitution has to change the part whereby every citizen has the right to bare arms! The constitution was written what, 200, 300 years ago? The reason this little piece was included was to protect citizens againsnt violent attacks from Natives!

In Australia in 1996 we had a nutcase lose his mind and shoot dead over 30 people just walking down the main road of a place called Port Arthur in Tasmania. Some were walking, some were dining in cafes or running everyday errons. Thos guy randomly shot and killed dozens of people. As a consequence we had a firearm amnesty in Australia and we tightened the laws to the extreme. No law abiding person owns a gun unless the are in a hunting club or in the amred services, police, security etc. Sure the criminals still get their guns from the black market but it has stopped Crazy John Citizen from picking up a gun at the local store and shooting whoever the fuck he likes.

It is time for the USA to step into the new millenium

MY BEST FRIEND GRADUATED V-TECH IN 1990 AND MY DAUGHTERS IN COLLEGE IN TAMPA

THIS WAS A SENCE LESS THING AND SUCH A TRAGITY WHEN WE ARE IN WAR FIGHTING AGAINST TERRORISIM WERE KILLING OUR OWN PEOPLE WITH LAWS THAT DONT PROTECT US BUT IN-FACT HELP THE ONES WHO COMMET THE CRIMES.

I dont know what state Virginia Tech is in but I hear that city has next to no gun laws.

No background checks
No waiting periods
No registration needed on firearm purchases???

Someone can buy a gun anyday of the week? :crazydude:

I guess Virginia is one of the only states left with next to no gun laws.
You'd think we would have learned something by now :(
