Joey Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 Just terrible. I say bring back the schoolyard fight, with fists, the way it used to be. Never heard of shootings back then. Joey
Deano Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 I agree Joey, the zero tolerance just makes kids store the anger until one day they blowup. Terrible tragedy
Rich Clemens Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 (edited) Well my friends .... it's geting worse. The one news channel just reported the death toll is now over 30. Simply unbelievable that anyone would even consider doing such a thing. What's this world coming to ?? Edited April 16, 2007 by Rich Clemens
ehg Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 They have upped the death toll to 31 people now. What an unnerving tragedy. Very sad stuff.
misfish Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 Just terrible. I say bring back the schoolyard fight, with fists, the way it used to be. Never heard of shootings back then. Joey Ah those were the days. A good kick,n never hurt no one ,made new friends if anything. Thats just a cowardly act.
blaque Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 Its unfathomable what goes thru someones mind that would bring them to such a disregard for people, lives, families, children, its just pure evil. I believe there is a God, just as there is a devil. And a situation like this proves the latter!
RobHall Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 They have upped the death toll to 31 people now.What an unnerving tragedy. Very sad stuff. 31? holy ....this is tragic news. It's got to be the worse rampage mass killing ever. My heart goes out to the families of those killed in this horrific act. FOTB
PatrickGG Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 I got a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach after reading the article, I just cant imagine these kids sitting in a class room doing there work and some wack job walks in and starts shooting its terrible to even think how the parents are feeling, my prayers go out to the families that lost there kids.
irishfield Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 Sick feeling for sure...I had CNN on in the shop when it came on about the shooting and haven't changed the channel. Makes a father with two daughters off at different Universities heart flutter I'll tell yah.
Landlocked Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 I was thinking the same thing Irish...sure makes a guy want to go home and give his young boys a good hug. RIP
huntervasili Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 That is sick these pieces of scum are sick minded and horrifying to say the least. I could not even begin to comprehend what this and other murdurers could possibly be thinking. There are not words to describe it, but my sorrow goes out to all who were affected by this evil coward.
urbanangler1990 Posted April 16, 2007 Author Report Posted April 16, 2007 hmm i wonder what they are gonna come up to with as a reason for this act, they are menatlly challenged, and its not their fault, thats usually whats said, no excuse for this!
BryceBurzynski Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 Who would someone do such a thing? That makes you wonder! That's unbelievable!
Heybud_e Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 that is tragic, unbelievable, and sick, it should be mandatory for schools to have metal detectors and xrays, sure it may go against human rights or whatever, but damn! when is that crap going to end?? im not blaming video games... Bud
Daplumma Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 (edited) Its up to 31.The school is a very popular college,Virginia Tech.Not a whole lot of details out just yet.Really scary for the parents whose kids are there. Joe Edited April 16, 2007 by Daplumma
Cowman Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 Daplumma, i heard 31 were killed too, is there a count on how many people are injured yet?
Daplumma Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 They are not releasing much info,I know a lot of kids were hert jumping out of windows.There is something weird about this whole thing.Usually they have a descpition of the gunman and the types of weapons used but none of that this time.Wonder if it was a terrorist attack?Time will tell. Joe
lew Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 Usually they have a descpition of the gunman and the types of weapons used but none of that this time. Joe, it was reported up here a couple hours ago that he used 2 handguns then committed suicide.
blaque Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 I believe i read he used a 9mm and a 22 caliber handgun. They werent counting out terrorism , well........not the way they refer to terrorism these days. Its definitely terrorism, but may or may not be linked to "middle eastern terrorism" lets call it. They definitely havent put out any description of the gunman though, that i know of anywya.
steverowbotham Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 Fox just reported 32 people killed, including the gunman. Described as quiet, and kinda wierd but overall a nice guy. Seems to me thats how they are all described, which is why I never befriend anyone I'm not sure about, but I never pick on them either.
Big Cliff Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 What a very sad day this is that so many innocent lives should be lost for no apparent reason. That someone should be so sick in todays society that they could do something like this and no one saw it coming or did nothing about it really makes you wonder. I truly believe that when they took the strap out of school and stopped making kids accountable for their actions they started a trend that will cost many more lives before the pendulum swings the other way.
