VA Tech.
What a horrible thing to happen. Not just the most deadliest school shooting, but the most deadliest shooting in the US, period. It's so sad when others take lives because they feel that they themselves cannot deal with life. There is no point proven, there is nothing gained, and you have made people curse your name instead of mourning for their loss of a son, brother, friend.
I'm so fucking sick of everyone trying to find a scapegoat for this entire ordeal. "Why didn't they cancel classes?" Because the police thought it was an isolated incident. They were still unsure if the gunman had even left the building yet. Plus, the first shooting happened before classes even began. Am I saying that shutting down the campus would have been a good idea? Of course. Would it have stopped someone who planned on killing more than two dozen people? NO.
No, he would have killed more people, regardless if classes were canceled or still in session. The police did and are doing the best job they can do, and that's coming from ME. There is nothing the campus or the police or even teachers could have done to prevent more deaths.
You know what could have helped? GUN CONTROL. But no, we as Americans are too proud to own objects that are capable of death, we won't admit that. We want to have the power of god in our hands. "Oh, but how will we protect ourselves with no guns?"
Are you serious? Having a gun in your home is more likely to do more damage to the innocent people there IN your home than to hurt an intruder. If we had better gun control, this boy (I use the term boy) wouldn't have been so quick to pick up a gun.
Think about it: If you wanted to, could you yourself do the same thing? Oh, but we have all those forms to fill out and a waiting process! If you were mad at someone enough to kill them and everyone who is associated with them, you can wait for a gun.
And you don't even have to do that. You can simply walk into one of your friend or family member's home and take theirs. Everyone knows someone who has a gun.
So people, stop saying "Who is capable of doing anything like this?" because if you want to get technical, anyone who is physically able to pull a trigger is capable. All they need is something to push them over the edge, and in a society as high-strung and pressuring as ours, that can be easily done for any one person.
