    I'm sure that's the spin Jack Thompson will try to put on this.

    How the hell did one gunman manage to kill 32 people though?
    Did he just walk up to them and shoot them in the head?

    Being in the Engineering school in Louisville, some of us on the Engineering student council know some engineering students at Virginia Tech.

    They didn't have any idea as to what was going on. It happened before a lot of people went to class so most people were just informed to stay in their rooms and not go to class.

    It is very sad indeed.

    It only takes one asshole with a gun to ruin everything.

    2 shootings by the same gunman, 3 hours apart, how did he manage that?

    It's sad. I wonder if any of those students would have lived differently if they knew that they were going to die today.

    Where do you live? ?

    Here, the only place to get a gun is either at a yard/garage sale, or a pawn shop.

    Still...30 people is a HIGH body count, this guy had real ice on his veins, but yeah, instead of really knowing what was wrong with the shooter, people will start complaining about videogames...again.

    If I were one of the parents of the people who died today and see that Jack Thompson tries to find a way to get him some spotlight using this tragedy I would be very offended.
