Re: At least 31 dead at Virginia Tech

wtf they're blaming it on GTA on fox news

Why the hell are you watching Fox??

..I just heard about this an hour ago. Terrible... I don't know anyone who goes to VT but still.. I guess we're never ready for something until it's already happened. That reminds me, you know they still have police cars outside my school in the morning from when we had that gun scare..

Re: At least 31 dead at Virginia Tech

Well as most know Columbine happened on April 20 1999
that date also being Hitler's B-day and all so I am willing to put money that this has to do with those aniverserys <sp>
It takes a UBER sick minded person to play god as he did I hate it.
I feel very sorry for all those involved and family. V-T3ch is also to blame here
the first shooting was at 7*30 by 9*30 class's were still being held due to there lack of letting everyone know I have been home all day watching this because I didnt feel like tryin to watch all this at school.

Now I am 100% sure the media will use mental illness, Music I.E Manson Slipknot KMFDM as a scapegoat but it's not this man is just a sick poor pachteic shell of a man he may have mental prob's but I hope he burns in hell for this. It is ashame that any human would be compled to do anything like this.


<sorry about the rant but I just wanted to get it out If I get banned for the whole go to hell thing IDK>

Re: At least 31 dead at Virginia Tech

Ok, so.. so far I haven't gotten a call from my dad to confirm if the people we know that go there are okay. It's really just.. heartbreaking, to know that possibly my friend's brother could've been one of those victims..

How could someone do this? Why? ='/
