The last few days I have not been myself. I have a lot of thing running though my mind and I just can't seem to turn any of it off. On Monday morning on my way to school I heard the news of the first shootings at Virginia Tech. It wasn't until a few hours later that I learned of the second shooting. I spoke to many of my friends because I just could NOT comprehend how this "person" could kill two people in their rooms and then hours later proceed to another building to shoot and kill 32 more. I kept asking the same question to everyone "What was he doing for those 2+ hours in between the shootings?" I have avoided the news as much as possible because it saddens me to hear the reporters "guessing". I only want to know the hard facts...what did happen. NOT what they THINK happened. Finally, this evening my question was answered. This "person" went back to his room and took pictures of himself with guns, knives, and a hammer. Then made a DVD and blamed the world for the death of these students, wrote letters, and then MAILED the package to NBC NEWS. What kind of "person" does this? Why would a student be allowed to purchase weapons at a pawnshop across the street from school? WHY WHY WHY is there a store selling weapons near a campus? I just don't get it.
My heart goes out to everyone affected by this tragedy...nothing can be said to make anyone feel better. I hope this catalyzes government action on violence and gun control. I mean seriously...how blind must people be?
