VA Tech

I have to start by first saying that it is horrible what happened at VA Tech and I pray for all the victims, their families and all involved. But now at this moment I think it is important to focus on the victims, and their families and not so much the shooter. I know that it is important to know the details and make sure that campus is now safe, but I think that the media and society is not trying to point the blame on something. Like "Oh he was bullied, a movie sparked his anger, there needs to be better gun control, there were all kinds of signs..." Whatever. Why can't this guy just be just a crazy murderer like all the rest? I don't think that you can blame movies and gun control, bullying or anything else because poeple watch movies and get bullied everyday but they don't snap and kill 33 people. It's time that people focus on the rememebering the victims now and not trying to point the finger.

honestly, it seems likely that the problem is at least partially the media frenzy on every killer.

seriously, if you are on the edge, going out with an epithet and being advertised to the entire cxountry sound good.

He is getting so much publicity. Yes, he is gone, and it's sad 32 others are gone along with him, but it's done and over with. Instead of analyzing him, we need to focus on what to do to try to prevent others from having the same types of urges...
