    Whats scary was that VT was my second choice for schools. If i wouldn't have gotten accepted into Pitt, I would have been there right now.

    For some reason, I'm finding it hard to be bothered by this. I feel kinda bad about it but in all honesty, school shootings in America has become too common that it just isn't that shocking anymore. =/

    This one is the worst so far though. 32 people dead... he just ran into their classrooms and lined random people up against the wall and shot them each 3 times.

    actually, i do kinda agree, though seeing everyone crying does make me really sad.

    @dizzyone: you're soooo going to hell, and i don't even believe it exist. but i know you're going there.

    What's REALLY sad is as long as the NRA calls the shots in the US (no pun intended), people will still have access to them who are as messed up as this kid was, and they'll still go on these sprees. I don't know how many times this kind of thing has to occur before we get smart. ^Dee^ is right.

    not to say that there weren't signs about his issues... which there were. LOTS of them. I mean, stalking people, what, that's normal now?

    It hits people like me harder, going to school with a troubled korean, I can totally see where Cho was coming from. I'm lucky the cho I knew didn't go off on a rampage.

    But I agree, the mental problems made things much worse.

    Lets see... A pistol 9mm, 32 people dead, some shot 3 times... lets say 2 on average...

    An average pistol clip has in between 7-16 rounds... so lets say it had 12 rounds...

    (32*2)/12=5.(3)...

    So he had around 6 clips, on him... Does anyone say wtf? I know I do...

    Actually... Since it's America, no offense to Americans, I'm not surprised, infact, they were due for one or two school shootings. This was a big one making up for it.


    The last years, my opinions on America have gone from "awesome" to "bullshit", reasons are obvious.

    Correction.

    Realize that you've got to take the good parts of living in a free country along with the bad parts. I've exhibited some behaviors that could classify me as troubled, but I can assure you I'm perfectly safe for society. I much prefer living in a country where Big Brother isn't looking over my shoulder, though the occasional nutcase can go on a rampage, to a country where Big Brother controls those who go on rampages.
