Virginia Tech Shooting

[jit]

this is a very sad time for those students. makes me sad that 1 person could do such a horrid thing.

[holyknight]

it's also very sad that this killer is korean...
bad reputation for koreans folks
stupid dumbass...
he also had a fight with his girlfriend. That's probably the main reason he shot people.
and there was a girl who pretended to be dead when he started shooting in the hallway, so she survived. Smart girl.
and also some students jumped outside the windows. smart
and also a class locked the door with desks and the shooter just started to randomly shoot into the door. No one died in the classroom though, smart.
and a lot of proffessors died. Sad.
and his girlfriend was shot. sad.

and I am tired of you idiots keep going "omg he is going to get banned. What's his IP address?" STFU this is serious

I'm also confused how the americans see this day as "serously serious" when millions of iraquins are dying everyday at war...

[Shadowfox]

This incident only hardens my philosophy that we all should live each day to the fullest cause it just might be your last. think about it.

You'll probably end up being that drunk, broke, crazy old man at the corner of the street.

Hey retard I was tring to be deep and meaning full. I was tring to make some hope and healing out of this situation not provide you with some two bit joke. So take your imaturity and go shove it!!!!!!!!

I heard that one of the proffesers held himself against a door so the gunnman couldnt get in while the students escaped, the gunnman shot through the door and killed him and he was a holacaust serviver

what a hero

the shooter also didn't pick which people to kill like other school shooting incidents, he just randomly killed anyone he saw.

I also saw a person taping from far away with his/her cellphone. There were still a lot of people outside though.

[Seldom]

Um, holy. I have never heard of a school shooting in which the killer chose what people to kill. Columbine killers just shot randomly as did Whitman.

There has been no mention whatsoever of a girlfriend.

HE NEVER TALKS. I doubt he would have had a girlfriend in the first place.
He snapped most likely of his depression or some mental disorder. He hated rich kids ands never mentioned a girlfriend in any of his tapes/letters.

Stop spreading rumors >.>

[KobraKaine]

I can heal emos

...I don't get it.

[Risujin]

there should be 32 on killcount
-1 for selfownage (AsianGunman irritated himself)

Not fucking funny.  This isn't a game, this guy actually killed people.

32 - 1 = 31

In a long-standing Russian tradition (a country where today's news is always worse than yesterday's), the only way to deal with life every day is to either drink or joke about it.

Personally, I'm really spooked by the frequency of this sort of shit. Has this sort of thing always happened or is it modern times?

[ilxen_nuqil]

32 - 1 = 31

thot 33 excluding himself

so

u have right

so

*bang bang*

w8 where is my 2nd gun?
...

...

[KobraKaine]

Yeah, it's really sad.

[Anansi-Sama]

Millions, huh.  Okay...  And for the record, the Iraqi that die there are usually killed in suicide bombings... by other Iraqi (or Iranians).  "Millions of iraquins"...  The ignorance amazes me.

Yeah, it's really sad.

Here's something else to think about:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_shooting#List_of_school_shootings

The first school shooting by a student was 1966, after that 1983, then many starting from 1991.

Abandoning our usual flamewar type pursuits, I'd like to say in all seriousness that the reason this all happens is because people have stopped valuing life like they used to.  Look how often women refer to being pregnant as if it was a disease.  It isn't a bad thing when babies are born, it's new life.  Precious new life.  Look how desensitized we've gotten toward death!  I mean, we're so jaded that some fools among us make jokes about the "killcount".  Yeah, there's a such thing as making humor out of a bad situation, but not this soon, guys.  Those families are still grieving.  It will in no way be funny to them.  Maybe we should take a good look at how we treat people nowadays.

Back forty years ago, a schoolyard fight happened, punches were exchanged, the score was settled, people went home and forgot about it.  Now some kid brings an knife or a gun.  I mean damn!  What was he trying to prove?  "You broke up with me so I think I'll prove you right that I'm a raving psycho?"   Good idea, kid, now look who just lost their boyfriend, their girlfriend, their sibling, their mom, their grandpa.  Good job, asshole, you just proved to the world that your cause was worthless.

People live too much based on emotion, and look what happens.  There's gotta be logic in there somewhere...

i bet u are being mean because got killed by 1st boss

David, what's with the flames, is that, like, your career path; asshole?

Not too soon to start the cause speculation!

Some possible aggravating factors:
-- Availability of deadly firearms: deadlier than ever and mass produced to boot, is it easier now to get guns than in 1950?
-- Loss of community: not everywhere but, in general, have communities have loosened? Today, no one trusts their neighbor. In 1950 you had poker night at the nieghbors. A lone kid could easily fall through the cracks.
-- Desensitization to violence: what game are we playing again? Oh yes, a Granger-murder simulator. Anyone see the Oscar-winning movie "The Departed"? Deadly violence is common in media and entertainment. People do not care anymore if someone dies.

The verdict? Bad times ahead.  :-?

[holyknight]

Um, holy. I have never heard of a school shooting in which the killer chose what people to kill. Columbine killers just shot randomly as did Whitman.

There has been no mention whatsoever of a girlfriend.

HE NEVER TALKS. I doubt he would have had a girlfriend in the first place.
He snapped most likely of his depression or some mental disorder. He hated rich kids ands never mentioned a girlfriend in any of his tapes/letters.

Stop spreading rumors >.>

uhh, I heard about girlfriend fight in korean news that my mom was reading.
And also, long time ago in other schools, these "crazy" kids shot people who annoyed and bullied him. There was an incident where this kid came to school and shot people. But he let people who was nice to him live by just passing them by. Don't know the name though, I mean, there were a lot of incidents you know.

[Anansi-Sama]

Doesn't excuse the act of shooting up a school, but yeah.  People should watch who they piss off...

my mistake. i didn't mean anger you. i was just trying to make a point as well. the chances that something like that happening to you are slim to none. i am just saying that, yes, enjoy your life, but don't do anything stupid while you are enjoying it. living every day like it is your last will not work in the long run. it would end up in chaos.

[powerover]

What the hell is wrong with most of you.  This is a very serious incident and I hear jokes about IP banning and everyone ripping into beerbastard for what he said.  I for one find this absolutely disgusting.  I wish this stuff didn't happen and I wish this could be taken on a serious note.  This is just an unbelievable and absolutely disgusting and horrible thing.  33 dead people is not a laughing matter.  I for one give my condolences to all  the families of the lost and injured and hope to god these school shootings stop.

the funny thing is, thousands die of hunger every day but no one seems to care about that.

[Plague Bringer]

That's because of all the infomurtials (or w/e) begging for donations.

[gareth]

the funny thing is, thousands die of hunger every day but no one seems to care about that.

death of 32 is a tragedy, death of a million is a statistic.

We are not talking about other school shootings? He did not target any people in particular, neither did the columbine shooters, ffs.

"Cho's motives for the killings remain unclear. Early reports suggested that the killing was the result of a domestic dispute between Cho and previously alleged girlfriend Emily Hilscher, who was later revealed to have had no prior relationship with Cho."

From the wikipedia article.
