Virgina Tech Massacre
For my blog post for this week I would like to talk about the shooting at Virgina Tech. First I would like to say that this is an absolutely horrible thing to have happen. Innocent people died and we dont even know why. Many people feel like the school failed their students. After the first shooting they didnt even attempt to contact any of the students until 2 hours later when the second shooting occured. There excuse is mainly the fact that they have so many commuter students that it would be impossible to notify everyone, but to me I think they should have acted right away. The killer was on the loose and no one knew. They should have blocked roads to not let students enter the campus.. put signs on classrooms cancelling classes. Anything to save as many people as they could but they did nothing. The teachers even had no idea… at least they could have informed them so that they could close and lock their doors to protect themselves. Im take back by the fact that the school didnt do anything. Those people could have been saved. Just think about how their families must feel… this is a horrible thing to have to go through. The school is definately going to loose a lot of students because of this. No one is going to want to go there and no parent is going to want to send their kids there. I just wonder what would possess someone to do something so horrible. They say he was a loner… maybe he wanted to be recognized… or I dont even know. There is no excuse for this and there are better ways to handle your problems then turning to this. Now that he is gone we will never really know what made him do this. I just hope that things like this dont continue to happen… killing innocent people is no way to handle your own problems. Dont take others lives while you take your own… its just selfish and unfair. My heart goes out to all who have been affected by this tragety.
Here’s a slide of some of the people who were killed… <3
