Virginia Tech Shooting Kills at Least 33, says the New York Times

I just...I don't know what to say about this. I don't know what to say at all. Those poor people and their families. What was the POINT?

Watch Fox News if you want your blood boiling. Now they're blaming campus gun control policies for the deaths.

"If they allowed people to carry firearms in school, they would've taken down the gunman."

So typical.

And you know, that might be true. But what Fox & company won't mention is how many MORE shootings there would likely be if all the students went around armed like they were Wyatt Earp at the OK corral.

I hate news editorials that appear to be fueled by testosterone. Why would more guns be better? One person with one gun did more than enough killing today.

Thank you. Between the hot air being blown by various politicians on both sides of the aisle, Fred Phelps and his crew of homophobes, and the actual shooting, I'm beginning to feel like the world is drowning in hate.

I'm really scared, I have friend who go to school there and none of them are picking up the phone. I'm sure that it's just to crazy to deal with phone calls right now...

There never is a point. There is occasionally a purpose, but... never a point.

The newspaper stories I've seen have remarked on the confusion and chaos, so I'd guess that's it. Not that that makes matters one less bit worrisome.

I feel so mad that I want to wrestle an elephant.

It's kind of one of those non-comprehensible events. :(

It is. It really is. And I don't know how to improve matters. I want to, as well.
