[VCDrivesAPorscheToWork]

what a terrible tragedy that has happened. my condolences goes to all the victims and their families.




i dont want to make judgments, but this kind of thing is undoubtedly an offshoot of the Hollywood culture. No I am not saying that Hollywood makes movies to tell people to shoot others. but no doubt the image and standards of beauty and social acceptance in America are set by Hollywood and those who cannot conform resort to this kind of violence....

I just heard online there might be 50+ dead. Dunno if it's true but if so.. wow. That's ****ed up.

I'm just glad you would never use a tragedy to win political points.

As a side note.. are you ****ing retarded? Seriously. You consistently say some of the dumbest **** that has ever graced this message board. It's unfortunate because I assume you're paying money for education. If so, I would demand a refund.

how about gun rights there rightwing boy?

let start with the direct link before you start blaming Hollywood

[konex]

^ He's right! To kill that many people, he must have had some sort of automatic weapon. Can we please get some ****in gun control in this country? :(

[SoCalMike]

Wow, this really puts things in perspective when we argue about crap here...

Ouch!


:pimp:

[AppleNader]

I wonder if Bush had not started an illegal war that has lead to hundreds of thousands of lives lost, we might have had more money and resources to help the unfortunate gunman with his psychological problems and possibly avert this situation.

[reppy]

^ He's right! To kill that many people, he must have had some sort of automatic weapon. Can we please get some ****in gun control in this country? :(

No, he killed that many people because of Hollywood. Are you stupid or something? Hollywood also caused global warming, don'tcha know?

how come these kind of stuffs usually happen in united states?

[VCDrivesAPorscheToWork]

In "To Kill A Mockingbird" there is a particularly strong line:

"People see what they are looking for, and hear what they are looking for."


and how many times must I reiterate I am not pro-Bush/pro-Republican? Just because I bash certain liberal elements you typecast me as the Right? If you Lefters do not wish for me to umbrella all of you under one common banner, I pray you hear how hypocritical you sound now and learn from your mistakes not to do the same.


w/e, the important part of all of this is that innocent lives were taken and the culprits, if any are still alive, must be brought to justice.

[STelfair31]

i just wonder why he did it...

Damn...damn.

Here we go again with all the discussions about rap, videos, videogames etc again. I hope some smart person steps up this tim and puts the responsibility with the parents. People don't have time for their kids anymore. World's going crazy....

[Baller1986]

(CNN) -- The Virginia Tech police chief said at least 20 people were killed in twin shootings on the Blacksburg campus Monday morning.

"Some victims were shot in a classroom," Chief Wendell Flinchum said, adding that the gunman was dead.

"Today the university was struck with a tragedy that we consider of monumental proportions," said university President Charles Steger. "The university is shocked and indeed horrified." (Map of Blacksburg)

The attacks mark the worst school shooting incident since 1999 when Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris killed 12 students and a teacher before killing themselves at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado.

A hospital spokeswoman told The Associated Press that 17 Virginia Tech students were being treated for gunshot wounds and other injuries.

Sharon Honaker at the Carilion New River Valley Medical Center told CNN that four patients had been transported there, one in critical condition.

One person was killed and others were wounded at multiple locations inside a dormitory about 7:15 a.m., Flinchum said. Two hours later, another shooting at Norris Hall, the engineering science and mechanics building, resulted in multiple casualties, the university reported. (Watch police, ambulances hustle to the scene )

The first reported shooting occurred at West Ambler Johnston Hall, a co-ed dormitory that houses 895 students. The dormitory, one of the largest residence halls on the 2,600-acre campus, is located near the drill field and stadium.

Amie Steele, editor-in-chief of the campus newspaper, said one of her reporters at the dormitory reported "mass chaos."

The reporter said there were "lots of students running around, going crazy, and the police officers were trying to settle everyone down and keep everything under control," according to Steele.

Kristyn Heiser said she was in class about 9:30 a.m. when she and her classmates saw about six gun-wielding police officers run by a window.

"We were like, 'What's going on?' Because this definitely is a quaint town where stuff doesn't really happen. It's pretty boring here," said Heiser during a phone interview as she sat on her classroom floor.

Student Matt Waldron said he did not hear the gunshots because he was listening to music, but he heard police sirens and saw officers hiding behind trees with their guns drawn.

"They told us to get out of there so we ran across the drill field as quick as we could," he said.

Waldron described the scene on campus as "mayhem." (Watch a student's recording of police responding to loud bangs )

"It was kind of scary," he said. "These two kids I guess had panicked and jumped out of the top story window and the one kid broke his ankle and the other girl was not in good shape just lying on the ground."

Madison Van Duyne said she and her classmates in a media writing class were on "lockdown" in their classrooms. They were huddled in the middle of the classroom, writing stories about the shootings and posting them online.

The university is updating its 26,000 students through e-mails, and an Internet webcam is broadcasting live pictures of the campus.

The shootings came three days after a bomb threat Friday forced the cancellation of classes in three buildings, WDBJ in Roanoke reported. Also, the 100,000-square-foot Torgersen Hall was evacuated April 2 after police received a written bomb threat, The Roanoke Times reported.

After the Monday shootings, students were instructed to stay indoors and away from windows, police at the university said.

"A gunman is loose on campus. Stay in buildings until further notice. Stay away from all windows," read a warning from the university.

"Virginia Tech has canceled all classes. Those on campus are asked to remain where they are, lock their doors and stay away from windows. Persons off campus are asked not to come to campus," a statement on the university Web site said.

Since they talk about guns and killing people, should we blame rap for this, too? :confusedshrug:

It happened in Germany. Dutch kids have been stabbing each other like it doesn't matter for a while, some student shot his teacher in the head last year too.

Maybe it's America's influence on the rest of the world. Guns are easy to get in the US. There's loads and loads of people who are actually totally supporting the fireweapon industry. It sucks.

[VCDrivesAPorscheToWork]

This happens every day in Iraq, despite what McCain wants you to believe.


proof, evidence, research.


i watch the news all the time (and I do not watch FoxNews btw) and I hear of all the killings of civilians, or US troops, of Iraqi police forces, everyday.


Every day some life is lost and it is truly tragic.


so if I am hearing it, how is McCain censoring this? proof? evidence? got any? if not, i'll just attribute your last post along with much of what else you say to hot air.

Well it's not that difficult to get a firearm in Western Europe. But I think the society is a lot less supportive of owning firearms. That's a huge difference. How many American citizens are proud of their handgun, and how many shooting ranges are there?

[SoCalMike]

22 people have died so far, and many of you are arguing? wow....

:roll: We still have plenty of money..

So lets say bush didn't go to war.
Pros- Less soldiers die. 20 less people die because some guy at VT got help because had more money.

Using your logic

Cons-Thousands of Americans die from terror attacks all over the nation.

Automatic weapons are illegal. You can not just buy one. You have to get approved by the government and they know everything. Like taking guns away from people is going to prevent killing anyway.

Just a side note, but how much has school violence increased since they banned prayer and the bible?

On the March 27 edition of CNN's The Situation Room, host Wolf Blitzer asked McCain about comments he had made to conservative radio host William Bennett that "[t]here are neighborhoods in Baghdad where you and I could walk through those neighborhoods today. The U.S. is beginning to succeed in Iraq." While McCain did not directly address the quote Blitzer mentioned, he responded: "You know, that's where you ought to catch up on things, Wolf," adding that "General Petraeus goes out there almost every day in a non-armed Humvee. I think you ought to catch up."

Later in the program, Blitzer asked CNN Baghdad correspondent Michael Ware to reconcile McCain's comments. Ware told Blitzer that "[t]o suggest that there's any neighborhood in this city where an American can walk freely is beyond ludicrous," adding: "I'd love Senator McCain to tell me where that neighborhood is, and he and I can go for a stroll." Regarding McCain's claim that Gen. Petraeus travels "almost ever day in a non-armed Humvee," Ware said that McCain "is way off base on this one":

http://mediamatters.org/items/200703290009

McCain is pushing the line that the surge is "working"; it's not working.

To prove Baghdad was safe.. McCain went for a walk through a market in Baghdad.


Sen. John McCain strolled briefly through an open-air market in Baghdad today in an effort to prove that Americans are “not getting the full picture” of what’s going on in Iraq.

NBC’s Nightly News provided further details about McCain’s one-hour guided tour. He was accompanied by “100 American soldiers, with three Blackhawk helicopters, and two Apache gunships overhead.” Still photographs provided by the military to NBC News seemed to show McCain wearing a bulletproof vest during his visit. Watch it:

http://thinkprogress.org/2007/04/01/mccain-iraq-stroll/

I don't know about you, but when I go to the market, I always bring along 100 soldiers, some helicopters, snipers and make sure to wear my trusty bullet proof vest. Even though I know it's entirely safe, I just like to.

After being caught in a lie, McCain had this to say:


“Of course I’m gonna misspeak,” McCain said. “I’ve done it on numerous occasions. And I probably will in the future. I regret that when I divert attention to something that I’ve said from my message. But that’s just life. And I’m happy, frankly, with the way I operate. Otherwise it’d be a lot less fun.”

http://thinkprogress.org/2007/04/08/mccain-60-min-misspoke/

Yes, because war, and especially when you're dead wrong about it, is "fun".


“The crack of shots fired by unseen snipers echoed on Monday through Baghdad’s wholesale Shorja market, a day after U.S. Senator John McCain held up his visit there as one sign of improving security in Baghdad.”

http://thinkprogress.org/2007/04/02/snipers-return-to-mccains-baghdad-market/

I guess things aren't so peachy keen when you don't have all that security..

I used to actually like McCain.. not anymore. And it's ironic you used your "proof, research evidence" line on me when 98% of your political posts are just rant-filled diatribes, rarely with a source. And generally it's something you can't really "prove", like Hollywood makes people feel bad about themselves (are you projecting?) so they go on killing rampages. Yeah, makes sense..

White? (Doesnt look very dead either.)

btw it doesnt matter if it was automatic or not. probably the american way of thinking but all fire arms are made to kill with. there should not be a discussion about which type of firearm should be banned.

[AIR_ball_Jordan]

Any news on who the shooter was, why he did it?

There are actually 2 incidents and 2 shooters. one's in the dorm; the other one's in VT's Engineering Building. the shooter in the engineering commit sucide and the one in dorm is still unknown.

Edit: the other one get caught...I hope they beat his ass HARD!!!! and smash his head agains the wall....**** human right...that piece of **** doesn't deserve it.

[kenuffff]

a sane person does not murder 21 people. charles manson listened to the beatles remember helter skelter so the beatles are to blame for his killings correct since hollywood is to blame for these? not the mental disorder they had or the enviromental factors or the access to firearms.

[i seen hippos]

Man this is sad. Isn't this the University that Geewiz wanted to go but got rejected? Just wondering, not trying to take a shot at him.

Where is Geewiz?

Anyways, sad event. I'll put it to the back of my mind though so there's enough room for the next one...which is inevitable as the sun rising each morning.

white people............


They are actually reporting that the shooter was Asian.

An Asian???? They should be smart enough to kno not ta do that kinda shyt..... watch the white boys were tryin ta fail him and he knew it..he had to show them...ASIAN POWER hahahaha

I don't think that is the shooter, but I do not know for sure. On the news, they just had a briefing, and the chancellor of VT said that the shooter was killed. But who knows... facts tend to change during the chaos stage of an event like this.

What is up with white people shooting at schools? I'm white and we have very defined social groups. i.e. I was talking to some kid i didn't know to well but he seemed cool so I asked him to meet up at lunch. I go to my usual spot and all the people I sit with seem him come and sit down and they were like what is he doing here. And started flippin out. The kid just left and they were all mad at me. Is it the same way with black people? It would make sense that black people may see themselves as more a group but idk. You tell me.

[i seen hippos]

All the fools that said "white people" are praying this Asian was just delivering pizza at the wrong place and time.:roll:

This happens every day in Iraq, despite what McCain wants you to believe.

Without trying to go too deep into America's problem, seriously though, these kind of "random violence killings" DO happen more in America than any other civilzed country, don't throw Iraq in there, why not compare America to other normal countries like Canada, England, Japan, etc?

We really need gun control in this country, well it's too late now, but seriously all this so called "freedom" is killing the country, it's safer to be somewhere where any schmuck DON'T have the freedom to buy guns.

Access to guns?

From the sounds of it the killer had access to an army! He had a bullet proof vest on had some hand guns and some semi autos. The amo he had aswell was ment to be hundreds of rounds and he had gun belts on with guns tucked into his belt.

That's a bad comparison.

This gets more press because the big question on everyone's mind is "WHY????" Now if a shooting happens in Compton, chances are 9 times out of 10 it's those ignorant gangsters fighting over their typical greed/stupid pride/money/drugs, it's not as "shocking" as this type of news.

A University or High School is often a government institution that is suppose to be a safe haven for children. When people get killed there it IS a bigger deal. Dont compare it to the street you simpleton.

Fox fan aswell? :cheers:

So the chinese dude wasnt a shooter?


No the shooter took the cowardly way out and killed himself. My heart goes out to the families of all those that where killed or wounded, even his.

[JSub]

Not just school shooting but teachers getting beat up by students has been happening a lot. Also bomb threats along with arsonist (West Philly high got hit with 2-3 fires within a 2 week span).

But on a more serious note, this is tragic news. I'm glad none of my friends go to VT.

[MaxFly]

Absolutely crazy.

My condolences to the families of those killed as well as those injured. Problem seems to be that people haven't really been identified.

22 dead, 28 injured.

[DatZNasty]

atleast 32 confirmed dead and 22 injured with 6 critically so.

New facts

Gunman use two 9MM handguns

Two shootings (assumed to be related), one at 7:15 and the other 10:15

Police confirmed the gunman is dead, shot by police

[MaxFly]

For those looking to make jokes, this is no joking matter. Please try to remain solemn for once.

[GOBB]

ppl gettin shot in the street no one cares about but someone shoots up a university its blown up....the University is more important i kno....but like Columbine and them that shyt happens other places and it ain't on TV

Dude STFU, here in Philly the murder rate has increased the last 2yrs and this year so far we are on pace to top last years high in terms of murders. Its a BIG story here and has been for awhile. To assume people getting shot in the street has no one caring is ignorant as hell. The reason this is major news is because it happened on a college campus and a large number are killed and injured. When has 22 people killed, 29 hurt in 1 day happened in the street? Most of the killings in Philly have been drug related...big drug problem with rivals trying to occupy and take over turf to sell. Vtech killings? Some psycho unloads on a bunch of kids trying to learn. If you cant see the difference then you're just a moron. And again to think no news, no media attention is happening in every city where people are murdered is ridiculous.

man the fun never ends at VA tech. competitive in both major college sports, all kinds of parties, and once every few months your life will be in serious danger.

I think I'm actually excited about going there now. it's a school with a history. when the dates are all muddled up in the future I can claim to have been there when it happened.

I got off school at 11 today because of, I kid you not, FAST WIND. basically spent from then till now watching the coverage. and I gotta say I think there's something wrong with me. I know people at VA tech and really any one of them could be dead right now. and even if I don't know them, they're other peoples friends, siblings, sons and daughters, and people with a great future ahead of them who were robbed of that by some bitter **** stressing over exams and girl trouble.

yet I don't feel anything.. at all. it's not like I'm fearless. I just don't feel a connection with these events at all. same thing with 9/11. same thing with the DC sniper. none of these things evoked any fear, concern, emotion in me whatsoever. if anything it just reminds me that my **** can get ruined at any minute so I shouldn't waste any time..

Ok what would you havfe done police chief? I'm not gonna say police did a perfect job but we dont even know the details. For all we know the shooter probably was never identified, given a description from witnesses or they had no clue of his whereabouts on a large campus. Its said the shooter went to class incognito. So how would you know where to look? Police probably have proper procedure/protocol for a situation like this but i have no knowledge of it or its details...and i doubt you do.

Hold off on the blame. University probably deserves blame since they didnt get out the info to students until 2hrs later. Classes should have been shut down tho, security guards on alert.

Dude, he went all the way across campus. Started shooting 2 hours later. Campus should have been locked down immediately after the first shooting. He shouldn't have even been able to get in to the engineering building. At my university, there is a loud siren that rings all across campus if something like this were to happen, and a dude on a PA explains what's going on. Every university should have something like that.

They were interviewing some girl, and she had no idea what was going on after the first round of shootings. She was about to leave her room, but then was notified by her friend what was happening.

I know this is a tragedy, but seriously the 'civilized' and 'developed' countries turn a blind eye to genocide every day and don't bring it to the limelight because then they would be responsible for their negligence. The genocide in Rawanda was ignored, and the death toll is estimated in the hundreds of millions (more than WW2), and even the situation in korea is ignred, but the US and GB invade Iraq? Strange? There's no oil in Rawanda or Korea. People that think this is the greatest nation on earth and think people are doing good in the world need to wake the F up.

Looks like a privileged kid from the burbs who goes to the bad side of town to buy his face moisturizers just to say he shops in the ghetto.

Maybe if you had quoted the original post, people would have understood that you were being sarcastic.
Wow, you need to learn to read. My post does quote the original post.

yeah keep postin my pics u suspect f@ggot.

you just mad cuz i have personality to go with my good looks and dont have to google pics of models and pass myself off as them and say i was in romania doing a shoot.

[LiL Stevie]

Yup VA Tech didn't handle this too well. Campus should've been locked down ASAP.

[thekavorka]

Yes and you knew this ahead of time right police officer??? No one KNEW the guy was still on campus or where on campus. That campus is HUGE. He could have been anywhere. How do you find a someone when first you have no idea what they look like (again we are assuming they didnt, maybe they did? who knows, but YOU seem to huh?!) or where to look. For all they know he could have left the campus and fled after the initial shooting.


I never said he should have been caught immediately. You just assumed I said that. The reason I reiterated the point about the 2 hours was because the campus should have been locked down in that time. Locking down the campus could have prevented more deaths. They shouldn't have waited until 2 hours to do so.

No you're right...after i read the bottom of your post I pretty much agreed. Thats why i deleted my reply. School should have been shut down after the first incident. Classes cancelled...no kids allowed in the school...entire campus notified instantly.

[final.wrath]

I just heard online there might be 50+ dead. Dunno if it's true but if so.. wow. That's ****ed up.



I'm just glad you would never use a tragedy to win political points.

As a side note.. are you ****ing retarded? Seriously. You consistently say some of the dumbest **** that has ever graced this message board. It's unfortunate because I assume you're paying money for education. If so, I would demand a refund.

he definately sounds like a private school kid.

[Fatal9]

Why wasn't the school shut down after the first shooting? (haven't turned on news yet)


This is just awful. I haven't been this shook up by a news story for a while.

[geeWiz15]

yes. there have been both black and white school shooters.
not that it MATTERS, but this kid was ASIAN.

I don't get how people can put race into this. no race is blameless. no major religion is blameless. there is no pattern you can derive from these isolated incidents.

"oh, dumb white people." mother****er VA tech is 75% white, possibly as high as 80 and the gunman was NOT WHITE.

[geeWiz15]

its unprecedented. did you see the news coverage? the campus police were all fat lardasses who haven't probably moved in their entire careers before. college shootings do not happen, haven't since texas 40 years ago. nobody could have forseen this. for sure if this happens again anywhere everything will be locked down. after 9/11 airports got smarter, after columbine high schools got insane about security.. I wouldn't worry about this happening again.

[billybadass]

asians white whatever its close enough. it sure as hell aint black. we dont seperate yall into differnt colors. cracker ass *****es

did they say if he actually went to the school? fam looked old

[geeWiz15]

no its not confirmed but.. come on. and as for looking old.. VT's engineering program is responsible for more than a few grey hairs.


asians white whatever its close enough. it sure as hell aint black.
what? are you celebrating the fact that a murder happened and a black guy DIDNT do it? what is your point?

[ALBballer]

Only in America...and the Balkans.

Umm not really. There have been incidents of Serbian armies shooting at civilians and school children, but it's not like a civilians just go on a shooting rampages.



Yugo's love shooting up ****.

You know Yugoslavia doesn't exist anymore. Fawking dumb Soviets.


Damn this feels like a scene from "Higher Learning" that I was just watching yesterday. Tragic news, has me kinda not even wanting to go to class and I go to ECU a whole state south down in North Carolina.

What a shytty movie btw.

As for the victims, I just couldn't fathom what I would do. I basically feel free from danger in my university because I feel that most of the student body is just trying to have a good time and study. And you would think that this type of shyt only happens in some ghetto highschool, but damm this happened at a respectable college university.

Edit:
I just want to say that kid is retarted and I hope he goes to hell. I don't want to hear some liberal bs that he has psychological problems or blame it on Counterstrike or Hollywood. I'm assuming this kid went to the university, so he had to be somewhat intelligent, and he should have the mental capacity to differentiate between fantasy and reality. And the kid is also a dirtbag because he just disgraced his family and media will try to blame even though they probably did there best to raise the kid.

[i seen hippos]

I know that. I was just grouping them all....and I wasn't being serious. I added the Balkans for jokes.

Did you call me a Soviet?.....or did you just want to tell me you think Soviets are dumb? lol

Aren't you Ukranian?

[i seen hippos]

Just making sure you didnt' just come up with some random insult.:roll:

Ukraine was always a nation, before, during and after Soviet rule.

Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia, etc. weren't. Maybe considered nations because of their ethnicity, but that's like saying Quebec is a nation.

So you calling me a Soviet makes no sense. I might as well be called a Nazi too since I'm part Polish and it was conquered by Germany in WW2.:roll:

[dgbigballer9329]

A guy I worked with, who I'd call "a good associate" goes to Va. Tech and I think he's an engineering major. I think. May have been marketing but I think it was engineering. I gotta find out what's going on with him.

a big no homo to worrying about another man's tongue son.

and your statement becomes even more ironic when one looks at your location.

even more suspect than your initial comment about me is your n*t hugging of TMOGE. worse than a pair of low rise bootcut jeans with a 9.5" rise.

just do me a favor and keep my name out your mouth before I come and slap the taste out of it.

[wang4three]

Couple of my old high school buddies go there. I haven't been able to reach them, I pray they are ok.

I also think Illinifan goes there, I don't know if he's in this thread, but hopefully he's ok too..

Nut hugging?...I'm pretty sure until recently I though TMOGE was a 12 year girl who cried to mommy 24/7 (based on evidence I compiled).

I'm joking too....what's your problem? lol

[Fatal9]

How the hell do you let 31 people die? Especially when it is just one gunmen AND the police were already on campus. I really want to see how much time elapsed since the police were first informed of the second shooting. Not only this, but the school didn't shut down after the police were trying to search for an armed convict on campus. I think the investigation will really put some blame on V-tech and the police.

It almost seems to sound like there are more bodies that have yet to be "officially" recovreed. If you think about it, thats a lot of coroner work, preserving and documenting the crime scenes.


:pimp:

Yeah I think its ridiculous 2 hours elapsed between the shootings yet they failed to lock down or evacuate in time.

How did V-Tech staff or officers not tell about the furst shooting. I just saw on the news teachers were getting the first e-mail about the events as the seconds shoots were taking place.


This goes back to 911. I (like most students) was in class that day and we didn't hear about 911 untill arounf lunch time (noon) as the attacks happened earlier that moring. The cafateria was so quit that day.

Anyways, sad event. I'll put it to the back of my mind though so there's enough room for the next one...which is inevitable as the sun rising each morning.

school.

Thats f*cked up


Just yesterday I found out someone I know daughter died. She just collapsed, was only 14. She was a straight A student, and started for her Varsity at High School and was just a freshman. Its sad to see people just die. Especially some people who were actually special
