I waited a day to post this blog to get my feelings together. What happened yesterday at Virginia Tech was just tragic. 32 people senselessly lost their lives. One deranged, obviously mentally ill, student killed them all. I pray for the families who lost loved ones, and keep the entire campus in my thoughts today. I don't think it could have been avoided. Gun Control is not the issue. If someone wants a gun bad enough, they will get one. It doesn't matter if every gun in the country is banned, they will still be available if someone desires one. The University could have locked down the campus and it may have prevented the tragedy. But the shooter was a student, he could have been locked in the dorm as well and started shooting there instead. Or he could have waited til the lockdown was over and went on his rampage.
The one thing I am annoyed with is that too much attention is being focused on the shooter. I don't give a shit about him. Focus should be put on the true heroes, those who died saving lives of the others. Not this mental case who doesn't deserve any blog space at all.
It is just a tragedy that couldn't be avoided, much like 9/11 or Columbine, unfortunately. Be kind this week. There will be time to catty and bitchy later. But for now, enjoy life! Peace OUT!!!
