The devil is busy…..I hope I have not offended anyone with that comment, but it is true……

I hope all the families over there are doing well. Its a shame that these people trying to get their education and graduate have to endure this. Its not all that different on the west coast neither.

# 73, I completely agree with you, and I wondered the same thing.

I hate that this happened, but we as americans are hypocrites if we cry for some type of legislation to prevent a massacre like the VT shooting, and allow our men and women (who are the same age) to die in Iraq.

I think that we (the little people) need to raise up, and fight loonies like this serial killer, and president bush!!!

My prayers are with all those who lost their lives, and their families. Even the shooter and his family.

I wanted to say something about it, but my reasoning is the opposite. I have alot to say but, I did not want to impose my opinions because I thought it to be inappropriate in this time of hurt and travesty.

This event hits so much close to home seeing how the gunman is from my area. The school lies in my area. I’m a college student attending a University and it’s a very scary thing to think that young kids who are trying to better themselves sitting in class, lost their lives for no reason.

To God be the glory and I ask him to bless our nation, watch over our people, heal our hearts, keep us covered, ease our pains, calm our minds, give us understanding, and help us to continue living day by day.

My prayers are with everyone at VA Tech and the families of those lost.

you know what when things like this happens its time to find jesus…..i know it may seem like im preaching to you but the world is obviously about to come to an end when someone can kill inocent children and have no regard for life…. my condolences go out to the families and friends of these kids….this is really heart breaking …..go with jesus

God bless the families of the victims…did any of yall see on the news where “the president” said that those students were in the wrong place at the wrong time??? i think “the president” was wrong for saying that mess

Ms.Hokie and Kelly@yahoo.com, my prayers got out to you and your family and friends as well as all the students at Vtech. I just want everybody to realize life is a beautiful thing if you dont take it for granted. I cant even imagine the pain these people are feeling. Even though we dont get along, this should be a time where we all come together in a very tragic time. Lift each other up and pray to the Lord. Trust, even though this a hard time to get through, Im sure there will be good times ahead of us.
So to all the victims, may your souls rest in peace and you angels soar through the heavens with your newly god given wings. May your spirits watch down and protect us.

Love,Peace,&&Honeyy

@ #76… you are 100% right, the devil is busy, he never rests, and he stays on his job! This is becoming more and more evident everyday… Look at how bad our world has become! SMH, may God have mercy on us all… Excuse my rant, but that’s the way I feel!

I agree with # 82. We ALL know Bush isn’t the brightest bulb in the lamp, but he was just wrong for that. Those kids were EXACTLY where someone their age should be: getting an education. The gunman was in the WRONG mind at the WRONG time.

every time i see the story on t.v. i just can’t believe it. i have cried and it just truly touches me. i can’t believe that this was possible, 2 hours later he continued his shooting spree. and the professor that held the door long enough for some students 2 escape and he himself was killed. and the black boy that had 3 majors, with a 4.0 gpa and was graduating at the end of the semester.its the simple fact that all 32 victims were real people and had a story. i see more than a name of a victim, i see their life story. anyways, this is just mind-blogging. i just had to pray 2 day.

My GOD!!

I am really in shock. I cannot believe this would happen. This could happen anywhere, on any college campus.

My prayers with the victims- Pray y’all- we all need it

Also,Let’s go hokies.

Thank you # 84! And you know what else? A lot of people don’t want to admit it, but things are going to get MUCH worse. I’m not trying to be preachy, but it’s ALL written in the B.I.B.L.E.

Basic
Instructions
Before
Leaving
Earth

Revelation is coming to pass. That’s the way I look at it….

I’m still in shock.Its unbelievable.I’ve been watching CNN since I came home to work.As more things start to develop its been really sad.My heart goes out to the ones lost and the families.

From Nyland K. Kanku

And I didn’t see where President Bush said that, that so messed up.

I feel bad for the family of the shooter as well. They moved from South korea to give their children a better life, and they will now have to hang their head in shame b/c of their son.

This is so sad. I cant even begin to describe how I feel for the victims!!

We may very well need gun control in this country- REAL GUN CONTROL!!

There will come a day
when your tears of sorrow
will softly flow into tears of remembrance
and your heart will begin to heal itself
and grieving will be interrupted by episodes of joy
and you will hear the whisper of hope.
There will come a day
when you will welcome the tears of remembrance
as a sunshower of the soul
a turning of the tide
a promise of peace.
There will come a day when you will
risk loving
go on believing
and treasure the tears of remembering.

smh i dont even know what to say

my cousins says the kid graduated from my high school the same year i did, glad i dont know him

condolences to all the families

^ Also agreed. That student had emotional and psychological problems, and they could have people helping him, but they didn’t try. All of this could have been avoided if they helped the shooter.

I am applauding CL for throwing something else in the game for a change. You could have done an Oprah and overloaded us with another “gay/lesbian” blind six footed rapper, or another who cocked it better.

We still want that, but thanks for brining this into the loop. I luv the posters, even the crazy ones that challenge me to get outside of my frame of reference and consider the thoughts and opinions of others.

Peace

I hear they’re trying to blame hiphop for this too…smh

My prayers go out to the victims and their families.. Live for today because tomorrow is not promised.

This is soo sad. R.I.P to the victims, my condolences to their families…

I just wanted to thank y’all for this post. I live in Richmond and my heart goes out to all the families. I am a high school sophmore and if someone sneezes and it sounds like threat the will lock the school down.
This is a real tragedy and its sad that after columbine the level of security was only raised at the high school level and hopefully these students won’t have died in vain

Rest in peace to the students and teachers who died. And I also pray and hope that they were all saved and had accepted christ before they were abruptly killed. It seems like things are just going to get worst around the world and the end of times are near. Everytime you step outside you’re taking a risk and life is a gamble. It’s very important to serve God and to keep him in your heart especially, in these days. I hope all of their souls are resting in peace.

this is not hip hop’s fault! why does everytime a somebody goes on a shooting rampage they blame hip hop??? hip hop don’t tell nobody to grab a gun and start killing innocent people!! that guy who did looked like he might have needed some serious counseling on the news they said the boy was “a loner”. i just don’t understand this at all….why take innocent lives just because u ain’t happy? why not ask for help?

#91 Bush did say that..he said it earlier today i saw it on CBS…he was talking as if he wasn’t sadden by what happened. to me it sounded like he was talking like “damn i really don’t want to be here” dats how it sounded to me but hey that’s just my opinion…they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time…them kids were in the RIGHT place gettin an education! Bush needz help…ASAP

GOD BLESS THOSE FAMILIES OF THE VICTIMS

#76, 84, 89 i agree!! Times are getting worse, and people don’t believe it could happen to them. Every breath you take is not guaranteed that’s the most important thing to remember everyday. If you don’t know God you better get to know him because I do believe he is coming back. Many of the students mentioned that they tried to befriend the killer b/c he seemed to be a gloomy individual. If people experience similar situations and don’t know what to do the greatest thing you can do is pray for them. There is power in prayer! I realize that religion is a touchy subject, sorry to those offended.
May God Bless all the individuals who were affected by this horrible massacre, & I hope that this incident is not left by the wayside, but that we learn from it.

So SAD!!! And it wasn’t like they were @ the wrong place @ the wrong time……they were @ the RIGHT PLACE @ the WRIGHT TIME!!!!

How sad for their parents and family!!!!! I can not imagine sending one of my children to school and having this happen!!! 33 DEAD? How many injured? I haven’t read or heard much about it…..but I will now!!!!

This all is so sad. My heart goes out to everyone and I will pray!

I send all my thoughts, prayers and sympathy to those who were affected by this horrible tragedy. This is so unfortunate:(

This is such a tragedy My prayers go out to everyone Dang I guess you just never know when your world is going to come to an end. So Sad…

I’m deeply saddened by this tragedy.My heart goes out to all the victims and their families. I’m still wactching the updates on CNN and I’m still in dibelief. Just a few months ago, in September, there was a campus shooting in my city( Montreal) and I was terrified to go back to school. And now this…I’m not from the US but it definitely hit home.

This is a worldwide issue. It happens everywhere. They need to establish a system to protect all schools. We have to protect our students,teachers and staff. We can not let this type evilness happen again.

Now why would he want to say that.Sometimes I think he just don’t know what he saying.

They were warned by emails, but not everybody read email from their school.I think they should put the sirens on, but it’s all said and done.Something just is not right.

Its still should have been posted, its way important then anything posted on this website! I feel so disgusted everytime I hear about these kinds of things!

32 STUDENTS WOKE UP YESTERDAY & DID NOT KNOW THAT YESTERDAY WAS THERE LAST. LIFE IS SO SHORT. LET’S ALL NOT TAKE LIF FOR GRANTED. My prayers go out to all the families. The question of the day is WHY? Why did they have to die? Why did he do it?…we may never understand why but me being a student at a University is praying and may God heal their pain.

My heart goes out to all who lost their lives or loved ones lives. Its a shame how one man can change the lives of hundreds within a couple of hours. It got me worried about my school (Illinois State University) cause we honestly have NO type of security. We dont have metal detectors, or anything and a walmart that sells guns is right accross the way from here.

Some serious advise, everyone needs to try and get to know others around them. If you see someone that is always alone introduce yourself or include them in your group for a day. That person may be a disturbed person with or without your efforts to get to know them, but atleast you would know that something wasnt right and you could possibly offer help.

I know how the families and friends feel cause in november one of my friends from highschool went missing at school. They still havent found him even though their were hundreds of people searching for him all throughout the university and sourounding areas.

Anyway I hope that everyone takes care and is careful.

My heart goes out to the family,friend and the whole school. This is really sad and unbelivable i mean its like a scene of a movie or somethint but now people gotten so cruel to take other people’s lives and lets not forget that these people were innocent. Why on earth would someone own a gun? Why would he kill these young students. How can a mother/father cope with a lose of her daughter/son?. This is just so sad people are so cruel now days. The government should be tough on guns. No one should own a gun. I dont care if u saying your protecting urself. Get a damn Security system but crack down em guns. We’re losing so many people. V.T just know yall are not alone prayers are with you guys on this tragedy and may you find peace in time of healing. My heart goes out to all the fallen Angel on that Massacre. REST IN PEACE.

I declare, THEY NEED TO PUT PRAYER BACK IN THE SCHOOLS!

Where the hell are the parents that destroyed that boy. They need to be interviewed immediately. He was a loner with imaginary friends and not sex at the age of 23. They failed to visit him and during spring break he stayed on campus and bought 2 guns. Meanwhile he was stalking girls. All this for pussy. His roomates shoulda took him to Loose Lucy and got his ass laided. Lack of pussy drove him bananas. Sad, Sad, Sad. My condolences. I can’t stop watching those young faces erased because of this. I blame his parents

Honestly, I am just so mad at myself for complaining about the little things when I have so much and people’s lives are being taken. It’s such a blessing to have life and it sad that things like this have to happen to remind you to appreciate what you do have.

I PRAY FOR PEACE AND SOUND MIND FOR THE PEOPLE OF VA TECH. I PRAY FOR HEALING FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. I PRAY FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL CHILDREN, MEN & WOMEN. I PRAY FOR THE DEVIL AND BIND HIS EVIL SPIRIT. I PRAY FOR BUSH!

AMEN!

This makes me sad to be part Korean. :[

>>> Why blame the parents? Parents can’t control his personality, there are tons of loners with sexless lives, tons of boys who never get none, no matter what the media try to promote, doesn’t make them crazy and deranged. He had bigger issues than that and nothing proves that his parents were the source of his issues.

After this event, are you people still strongly supportive of gun possession in this country?

@ #120 JOSH R

DO NOT take this as a reflection on your heritage! What happened was not your fault, nor did it have anything to do with you. That is part of the problem with our country nowadays. We’re all trying to come out from under the misguided negative stigma that society places on people because of their race or culture.

BE STRONG.

University Students Hold Vigil for Victims
Portrait Emerges of ‘Loner’ Gunman
By ADAM GELLER
AP
BLACKSBURG, Va. (April 18) — Virginia Tech students and supporters lifted thousands of candles to a sapphire sky to remember the 32 people killed by a campus gunman.

The vigil Tuesday evening testified to the unity on which the mountain campus prides itself. But in the hours after Cho Seung-Hui ’s rampage, it was obvious the close-knit school was a community of which he never felt a part.

The gunman, who turned his gun on himself after carrying out the worst shooting massacre in modern U.S. history, was a sullen loner who left a rambling note raging against women and rich kids. News reports said that Cho, a 23-year-old senior majoring in English, may have been taking medication for depression and that he was becoming increasingly violent and erratic.

Professors and classmates were alarmed by his class writings _ pages filled with twisted, violence-drenched writing.

In screenplays he wrote for a class last fall, characters throw hammers and attack with chainsaws, said a student who attended Virginia Tech last fall. In another, Cho concocted a tale of students who fantasize about stalking and killing a teacher who sexually molested them.

“When we read Cho’s plays, it was like something out of a nightmare,” former classmate Ian MacFarlane, now an AOL employee, wrote in a blog posted on an AOL Web site.

“The plays had really twisted, macabre violence that used weapons I wouldn’t have even thought of.”

He said he and other students “were talking to each other with serious worry about whether he could be a school shooter.”

Despite the many warning signs that came to light in the bloody aftermath, police and university officials offered no clues as to exactly what set Cho off on the deadliest shooting rampage in modern U.S. history.

“He was a loner, and we’re having difficulty finding information about him,” school spokesman Larry Hincker said.

“We always joked we were just waiting for him to do something, waiting to hear about something he did,” said another classmate, Stephanie Derry. “But when I got the call it was Cho who had done this, I started crying, bawling.”

Professor Carolyn Rude, chairwoman of the university’s English department, said Cho’s writing was so disturbing that he had been referred to the university’s counseling service.

“Sometimes, in creative writing, people reveal things and you never know if it’s creative or if they’re describing things, if they’re imagining things or just how real it might be,” Rude said. “But we’re all alert to not ignore things like this.”

With classes canceled for the rest of the week, many students left town in a hurry, lugging pillows, sleeping bags and backpacks down the sidewalks.

On Tuesday night, thousands of Virginia Tech students, faculty and area residents poured into the center of campus to grieve together. Volunteers passed out thousands of candles in paper cups, donated from around the country. Then, as the flames flickered, speakers urged them to find solace in one another.

“We will move on from this. But it will take the strength of each other to do that,” said Zenobia Hikes, vice president for student affairs. “We want the world to know we are Virginia Tech, we will recover, we will survive with your prayers.”

As silence spread across the grassy bowl of the drill field, a pair of trumpets began to play taps. A few in the crowd began to sing Amazing Grace.

April 16: A Day of Tragedy

Afterward, students, some weeping, others holding each other for support, gathered around makeshift memorials, filling banners and plywood boards with messages belying their pain.

“Our hearts will be heavy, our tears will fall and our questions never really answered,” one wrote.

“I think this is something that will take a while. It still hasn’t hit a lot of people yet,” said Amber McGee, a freshman from Wytheville, Va.

I’m so sad that this happened to all these young people at Virginia Tech. It hurts my heart. I wish it could have been prevented. I pray that God will comfort all of their families because this is so horrible and uncalled for. I just want to scream in anguish.

Profile of a killer: Cho Seung-Hui, 23
By Jessica Van Sack
Wednesday, April 18, 2007 - Updated: 01:06 AM EST

Ian MacFarlane’s first thought when he heard of the massacre at his alma mater was for his friends’ safety. His second was, “I bet it was Seung Cho.”

Many who had crossed paths with the silent “loner” who unleashed mass murder upon students and faculty at Virginia Tech thought of him as the strangest, spookiest person they’d ever encountered.

Cho Seung-Hui, 23, gunned down two students at the West Ambler Johnston hall dorm and then waited two-and-a-half hours before going on a bloody rampage at Norris Hall, a classroom building at the school. Survivors described him as wearing “Boy Scout-like clothes.”

The Virginia Tech senior, who moved from South Korea at age 8, was a legal permanent resident of the United States. Raised in suburban Washington, D.C., where his parents worked at a dry cleaner, Cho left an angry note in his dorm room, which a law enforcement source described as a typed, eight-page rant against “rich kids” and women.

“You caused me to do this,” the official quoted the note as saying.

David Schott, who graduated from Westfield High School in Chantilly, Va., with Cho in 2003, told the Herald in an e-mail that Cho “never spoke a word.”

“He was in one or two of my classes throughout the years and was incredibly quiet,” Schott said. “He never spoke a word. Throughout the course of a year of class with him he would only speak maybe once when a teacher called on him, and even then he would either say nothing or murmur. He didn’t make eye contact with anyone.

“People said ‘hi’ to him a lot, not expecting a response, just trying to be nice.”

At least one of those killed in the rampage, Reema Samaha, graduated from Westfield High in 2006. Authorities haven’t said whether Cho knew the young woman or singled her out.

Students yesterday said Cho was known for little more than his silent demeanor. They said he refused to introduce himself to his creative writing class last year. As classmates went around the room saying their names, he remained silent. On the sign-in sheet where everyone else had written their names, Cho had written a question mark. “Is your name, ‘Question mark?’ ” classmate Julie Poole recalled the professor asking. The young man offered little response.

Cho, an English major, produced such disturbing creative writing that a professor referred him to counseling. MacFarlane, a former playwriting classmate of Cho’s, now an employee of AOL, wrote on a news blog that “When we read Cho’s plays, it was like something out of a nightmare.”

One play, titled “Richard McBeef,” depicts an angry adolescent who believes his stepfather murdered his biological father. It is laced with references to sexual abuse. In it, a chain saw-wielding mom has a temper that flairs on a whim.

Hopefully this will make these colleges and universities crack down a bit more on campus security. I feel bad for all the families that were effected.

This is a little off topic but I don’t know about the schools you guys went to but MSU dorms were a little bit too open to outsiders. A lot of these schools to tighten their security.

Just another example as to why this site isn’t a source for real journalism. You don’t know what to write unless its trash, plain and simple. even your commentaries aren’t well written.

Its awful what happened in Virginia. And its ish like this that makes me scarred to go back to school to finish my degree. My condolences to all the family of the deceased and injured. They will never be forgotten.

We may not understand God’s ways… But we must rest in the knowledge that He knows Best. I pray for the mourning families and friends who have lost so much in so little time. My heart goes out to them, hoping that they will heal and be able to forgive the killer. Because carrying a grudge will only eat away at one’s soul.
Noone deserves to go through this… But trust, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.

Blessings & Love

My prayers go out to all of those affected. I personally feel like all of this could have been avoided. I know that it’s too early to point fingers, but I feel so saddened by all of this. BUSH YOU ARE A DISGRACE. GUN CONTROL! The University should have been locked down after the first shooting, and they would have found him reloading in his dorm. The “Counseling Services” they sent Cho to should have kicked him out of VT. They don’t have any security cameras at VT?
I am just upset that this tragedy happened and I hope the school can get back to normal in due time.

After reading some comments:
DO NOT FEEL BAD FOR BEING KOREAN! My husbands best friends are Korean and they are smart, rich, happy, cool, healthy people. Be proud of who you are and know that mental illness affects ALL RACES. Cho needed help and never got it. Don Imus come to Duval County.
RIP VT victims

This is/was a very unfortunate event. Even with security on campus and mo matter how many procedures and policies that are in order, are we ever really initially ready to handle these tragedies? I agree with one poster who said 33 people died, not 32 and the killer! It’s really hard to pray for your enemies but after seeing and hearing this that’s exactly what we should do! It was stated that mental meds were found with his belongings. This was coming for a long time with this young man and his parents weren’t intuitive with him enough to call the dark side he obviously possessed! As parents we have to pay attention to our children and the tell tale signs they give to us when they’re in pain/distress!! We have to ask questions and be very proactive and prepare our children the best way we can for the cruel world. Instill faith, love, patience and understanding just to name a few. This young man didn’t just start feeling this way a month or so ago. During his writing he talked about sexual abuse, maybe that was one of the signs. I’m sure a whole lot is going to come out now. His ranting letter was about rich kids and women. Maybe he was teased because he was not from here! Maybe a girl he crushed on crushed him. Who knows, there are probably infinite reasons as to why he was a pot waiting to boil over? God Bless all of us! With a special prayer of mercy to help those directly affected by this ordeal.

Sad .. my prayers go out to the families of the victims of this tragic incident.. whats worse is it makes my paranoid when i walk to my classes everyday.
R.I.P

I feel so sorry for all the families of the victims of this tragedy and even worse for the shooter’s family. They not only have to deal with his death but also the very idea that he was responsible for all of this.

Please get over yourself. The whole situation was tragic, so what can somebody say? Leave a damn message of peace and love, not your hatred for some bullshit comment. Read every thing and not some of it.

tragic yes, not only that we ignore the intuition of a concerned teacher, and not only that we enable guns in our schools with no real deterence.
the real tragedy is what i saw last night about the heroes in the school. unarmed and unprotected students who took action. they risked their lives to save fellow students, while the armored cops with the big guns sat around the school listening to gunfire as children were murdered. how dare they.

Concreteloop, please don’t pay any attention to these ignorant comments down playing your work on this site. You have so many of us loyal visitors who appreciate this site. Obviously the people making negative comments like it too because not only do they keep visiting but they also take the time to click on an article, scroll down to the bottom, fill out the comment form, and write a negative comment. I hate to sway away from the topic of this post but it just disgusts me so much when people go to great lengths just to conduct themselves in an ignorant manner… especially on a story of this maginitude.

Peacee, and may God be with all of those affected by the VTech shootings.

Tiana, you were quite eloquent and I share your sentiments.

It’s unfortunate for the families what happened but there is much more than is being brought out. First off, no one dies before their time. Adults should know that already, especially if you believe in the Most High. That premise doesn’t make any sense. Beyond that the “man” that committed this act obviously had training. You don’t kill “33″ people and injure a number of others with a glock or whatever they claim he had without professional training. I mean please.

My heart and prayers goes out to all the victim’s families and students at VT.

that’s sad yo like dey did not do anything and da korean kid had to kill dem i swear wats wrong wid des people yo dey did not do anythnig

I am a Virginia resident and a college student at VCU in Richmond Va. This hit SOOO close to home for me. I know plenty of people that go to VTech and it scared the mess out of me when I heard about it that morning from my boy that goes there. I called everyone I knew and thank god they were okay. RIP to all those who died, and my prayers go out to the families especially to the killers family. Their sons actions were disgusting and I know that it has put them to shame.

damn this sh@! is crazy. there was a rally at my school yesterday. My college is located downtown in an urban congested area with crime, anyway we have campus police who look just like regular police & drive police cars & suvs & arrest people. Well i just found out that these fools dont even have guns!!! Anyway there’s now a move to get them to have guns. My school is nowhere near as big as VTECH so i would assume most schools campus police are armed…

though like someone else stated here, it seemed even the armed police didnt make much difference at VTECH

i know some would state that more guns arent the answer & i damn sure dont know what the answer is to protect oneself & others from random violence. someone said no one dies before their time & I DISAGREE, people die before their “time” every damn day otherwise what the hell are we so upset about.

i mean we live in a rich country where innovation is all around us & unfortunately it seems guns & wackos with guns is something thats here to stay. It would be great if someone could invent something little and non lethal, like a mini tranquilizer gun for humans (sorta like the big tranquilizer guns used to subdue dangerous animals) that would knock someone out instantly or some shyt. This thing could be little enough to clip to a belt or a garter worn on calf or thigh.

Maybe a muthaeffer would think twice before deciding to just start shootin if he knew his dumb ass might end up lyin somewhere unconscious for 2 hrs & what might be done to him in that timespan.

Maybe i’m off the wall but damn i hate just being angry without an outlet for that anger.

This is just so horrible. Everytime I hear this story I feel sick!!!

My prayers goes out to the victums family and friends…

This is so sad.People’s lives are gone. I mean we dont know the whole story, but taking anothers life is just terrible. Those students got up that morning having no idea they weren’t gonna make it home. I know the worlds not perfect, but damn it’s like you cant even look out your window anymore or enjoy the view in your Backyard because you might get shot or raped. I thank God everyday for my life, I may not have everything but I have a life. And thats more than I can ask for. God Bless!

I will continue to pray for the victims who have lost their lives and those who are recovring I’m praying for the families as well!!!

For you to make that comment was unnecessary and ignorant. You cannot bless someone and in the same breath speak negative. Stereotyping brings nothing to the table. You cannot judge a country based on one person’s actions. You should have kept it to yourself.

The devil is busy all over the world. People are dying over things that can be easily prevented and eliminated (medical conditions, war & violence, nutrition, etc). My only prayer is that everyone, regardless of where you come from and what you do in life take this horrific event as an example that life is so precious.

We all need to start praying and be genuinely concerned and help each other to change the world we live in. There is too much anger, fear and hate. We all need love and acceptance. The battle was already won; we just need to stand for what is right and make a change starting with our leaders.

God bless each person who was affected by the massacre at Virginia Tech University. May you be able to find peace of mind, support and comfort.

Jen -

I apologize if I said anything to offended you. You are entitled to your opinion, however I think this particular blog is not the right moment or place to throw stones about countries.

True - America does have some SERIOUS problems that need to be dealt with. However, sweetie people are in mourning in this place and do not wish to hear negative statements. Please respect that.
