Bloodbath at Virginia Tech

This is slightly Ironic I really wouldnt have had a clue about the shooting if I hadnt of logged on here.... Maybe Ironic is not the word.. but this whole thread is about the media over-sensationalizing or whatever... but here I Would have gone all day without knowing most likely if I wouldnt have logged on.... choose to ignore the BS yes.. it is a sad state of affairs but the guy is obviously getting exactly what he wanted...

 

A lot of people want to be famous and die famous. The materialistic search for fame drives many people.

As some personality tests ask:

Would you rather be forgotten or hatefully remembered?



Many people would rather be remembered as murderers than forgotten by all of humanity.

This incident, like our dear Daisymae said... will only provoke others to try and beat the record... now that they made a "record" out of it.

Terrrrrible.

 

The guy obviously had a few screws loose.He did the shooting in exactly the wrong order.As far as being forgotten--we'll all be forgotten not long after we change form from what we are now to we'll be after.Does anyone remember their great-great grandparents?Does anyone talk about them?We are not much more than ants or trees in the grand scheme of things and I guess that will have to do.But as long as we live,it's good to feel bad for those that depart early.To me,anyway.Ironically,the evil-doers will be immortalized.

 

Yes, we are forgotten, but this society makes us want to be remembered.

This kid will be remembered, just like the Columbine shooters, Charles Manson, Hitler, and so many other murderers.

They even published his SHIT plays on AOL...

Listen kids... if you want to become famous, get your writing acknowledged, and become a historic figure.... go and kill some people!

This is the example the media is setting.

 

ooo. that IS a good one...though nothing quite grants the whole body satisfaction of blaming dubya. give it a shot!

 

that makes it extra sad that some guys on here don't have girlfriends, some never have...ouch

 

I think for someone to go to that extreme the girlfriend cheating was just the trigger that ignited years of pent up anger from something very serious happening....so it seems to me....because a stable someone doesn't just go coo-coo for cocopuffs over being cheated on.

Its very sad indeed and I understand the heart going to the culprit as well.

 

I applaud your efforts and agree with you a hundred percent.

 

So true! Fucking media...

Maybe learning why someone goes off the deep end and does stupid crap is worthwhile... but let's not go overboard and obsess over who this asshole was.

He killed people and now he'll probably have some book written about him and god knows whatever else... he shouldn't be glorified.

 

Without reading all the replys, I feel for the dead and the families, but but seems here in america it takes violent actions on a semi large scale to get attention in one way or another.....its just life......look back in acient times with all the death and slaughters, hell just look at the civil war......

 

What fucking massmurderer can be called stable? If he did destroy the lives of 30+ people over a broken relationship, I don't give a shit for excuses, and torture is too good for the selfish son of a bitch. Fuck him!

 

And I understand that point of view too. I think that what was done was awful...just the fucked up mind is kinda fascinating to me and I wonder what led someone to be so tortured that they felt that their actions were justified. I don't want to hug him and tell him what he did is forgivable...I simply stated that I understood...not that I experience it...but understood someone having the capacity to feel for him. I cannot feel completely for someone who doesn't cherish life but can absolutely respect the person who's love is big enough for all people...that takes something that I don't have yet but believe that we should all strive for. There is much love this world needs...not fear.

 

YAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWNNNN !!!!! I wonder if there is a program on tv yet about how those uncivilised retards in the USA have realised it would be better to bring in extremely tight gun control laws. Hmmmmm I wonder when people in that country will act like civilised human beings.

YAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWNNN !!!

 

If its so boring, why did you bother responding to it?

yawn


better hope you don't ever have to come here, we will tear you up

 

also the shooter was not even American

 

The shooter was a 23-year old South Korean, and he was a senior at VT. There were 32 people killed in all, including himself. They say there was a note in his room and that he blamed "rich kids", "debauchery", and "deceitful charlatans".


I heard that they're not really sure if the girl was his girlfriend or not, but...

What's really sad is that he bought the two guns he used five weeks before legally in Roanoke, VA.

And I think they suspected him for the bomb threats (or at least, they asked to search his room).

Students interviewed said he was a loner and that whenever anyone said 'hi' to him in the hallways, he would ignore them. They also say he had violent tendencies.

 

i heard about that, thats all anyone talked about at school

 

As a Mother I feel sadness for the parents who lost children.

But there is a part of me that thinks Americans have this "immune" feeling that nothing is suppose to happen here.
Just like 9/11 yes it was a tragedy but understand you are NOT immune to anything. Bad things will happen.

The news is going to wear this out just like they were wearing out the Imus fiasco just a few days ago.

 

This massacre really hit me. I just can't seem to grasp it. To anyone of you at VT I want to tell you that you all are in my mind and have been since I heard. I don't know what I would do if I was surrounded with that. I suppose basic instinct just kicks in and adrenilin takes over. I just wrote a report on school violence and it just seems so real. Bad things do happen. We aren't safe anywhere I suppose.

 

in driving to nyc today, i got a good regional glimpse of the 6 to 8" rainfall totals this area recieved on sunday

every stream, river and instant waterway gushed with torrents of water

could be seen were rivers encroaching on baseball fields and people's yards as well

whenever i see such torrents of water, i reminded of the ganges lore of when mother ganga overflows her banks, its god's love flooding our world

we can appreciate the cup is half full consciousness of such bengalis who celebrate this calamity as an inundation of prema whose life is brought into great discomfort when they must live on the roof of their homes for a period

in waiting for a transaction to be finished in picking up some desk furniture, i went for a walk down the highway and there was a lone canadian goose walking on the grass

geese are community birds..., they migrate as a group and if one is unable to keep up with the group, several birds will fall back and stay with it, or if it has to rest and is sick, stop and be with it

i said to him, "where are your buddies?,... yah gotta find your buddies"

i felt sad for him, he was so alone and not with his buddies

yesterday we had a shooting at a university by a gunman who appears by all accounts to be so alone and lost and without his buddies

from accounts too, other students tried to reach out to him and be his friend but he was too alone

i feel sad for him and all those impacted by this event and i pray for the flooding of god's love to heal their hearts

in the strange ways of this world, shared in the collective journey of each of us helping each other find our way back to the flock, i know this tunnel is one of

light

when i delivered the desk, to my dismay, i discovered a small dink where a chair had impacted the desk

in talking to the owner on the phone not yet seeing the desk, he didn't think it such a big thing

i think this is the way of our world..., not to trivialize people's sorrows and calamities, but i feel optimistic about our collective flock awakening and flying to stars

somehow, our journey is full of dinks and yet it is all so very perfect

and there is a river of love flooding our world
