At least 31 dead at Virginia Tech

His right to bear arms didn't make him shoot up a university. It certainly facilitated his actions, but it didn't make him do it.

That was the video games' fault.

I still think the campus police should have done a much better job in shutting down the campus after the first murders.

Even if you think someone is capable of doing such a thing, even if they outright talk about considering it...there's only so much you can do when someone hasn't actually committed a crime yet.

Last night I saw on a news network (I cant remember which one) where a school shooter was being interviewed. The shooter said at the time when he did the shooting he didn't realize that when you shoot someone they most likely will not get up. He said he thought it was like in the videogame DOOM when you shoot the aliens they get right back up.

I guess this guy didn't realize that he was shooting aliens in DOOM, not people.

... the shooters RA stepped in to talk to the shooter and his girlfriend because they were fighting, and he shot him and then his girlfriend. This happened like 2 hours before the other shootings.

Re: At least 31 dead at Virginia Tech

Honestly, I still blame it on the right to bear arms. xD

I mean, yeah, that's not the reason why he did it, I understand that, ugh, but.. he was devising a plan to kill people for what reason, we don't really know yet, some are speculating it's mainly because of his hate for "rich kids" and how everyone is happy and ****. I could definitely relate to this, because at times, I feel like a complete loner in school, I honestly have no "real" friends I would consider, and also, the fact that I'm basically disliked by my classmates because of my sexual preference and violent outbursts, it just pushes people away and makes them think I'm some sort of freak or something. =/

But, also, if he didn't have the ability to legally purchase these weapons and all, none of this would have happened. I mean, yeah, sometimes I feel like I just want to go ahead and shoot someone in the face because they're frustrating me to a certain degree, and I know I'm not the only one who feels this way.

This guy was just driven to that point, and went got himself a gun.

I'm just, completely against this, so much, it doesn't matter if it's for self-protection or not, I don't believe that anyone has the right to own something that could potentially take the life of another person.

Re: At least 31 dead at Virginia Tech

yea, but there's so many things that are dangerous enough to kill someone
guns being a major thing, any 'weapon'
but even normal things can be dangerous...from garden tools to a piano wire

Theres just some stupid people though. Where I live everyone had guns. They sell bullets in the barber shop. Theres never been a misfire or anyone that goes crazy or whatever. It's self-control and most americans don't have that.

Re: At least 31 dead at Virginia Tech

Nyokou, I know there were reports that he'd written a note explaining why he did it, but now the police are saying there was no suicide note. I'm pretty sure that's just some rumor some random person leaked to the media, who instantly ate it up.

And if he was determined to kill anyone, he would have found a way to do it. He may not have been able to kill as many people without guns, but he would have done as much damage as he could with whatever reasons he had. You can't go blaming the weapon.

No, you're not, but we've respectfully requested that this thread be reserved for those who are not tired of hearing about it and feel like talking.

Jack Thompson blames it on video games, who didn't see this coming... not to mention that this video was made before the identity of the student was even known.

Re: At least 31 dead at Virginia Tech

I don't know if anyone else has checked or seen this yet, but I'm very disappointed at the groups that are being created on Facebook. Being extremely angry and hurt is perfectly understandable, but a lot of the things being said is just plain horrible. I just thought that college students would be a little more mature about this, but I guess I was wrong.
