Title: 32 dead at Virginia Tech
Post by: Eiksirf on April 16, 2007, 09:17:11 AM: Anyone know anybody there? Someone student-aged walked the halls, emptying magazines one class at a time. 21 dead, maybe 20 more injured. Then he killed himself.

It is tragic though. A friend of mine came by to my apartment and was telling me about it. I looked it up online and sure enough there were news articles. Really sad.

Yeah, this forum has run its course I\'m afraid.

Post by: Eiksirf on April 17, 2007, 04:37:35 AM: 33 dead this morning. Anyone who was shot had at least three bullets in them.

This guy wandered into the engineering hall, chained the door shut and went to work. He had a vest and lots of extra ammo.

Title: 32 dead at Virginia Tech
Post by: FatalXception on April 17, 2007, 08:10:49 PM: He was raised from an infant in the US, so although he\'s technically Korean, he\'s really an American.

Post by: Phil on April 17, 2007, 08:12:55 PM: I thought I read somewhere he came to the states when he was 8? Meh, doesn\'t really matter, his nationality had nothing to do with this tragedy.

Just sad & depressing :( Eerie to go to their myspace page and see friends saying "Hey call me and let me know you\'re all right!" turn to "RIP"

Title: 32 dead at Virginia Tech
Post by: Eiksirf on April 20, 2007, 10:51:33 AM: Plus, we can all relate to sitting in school. We can\'t relate to the streets of Baghdad.

Still, both suck.

The day after VT massacre, like 150 people blew up in Iraq. Wonderful.

Post by: GmanJoe on April 20, 2007, 11:03:44 AM: Saw the video on CNN about Cho\'s grandmother. She said even she could barely get a response out of Cho. She mentioned that she would call his parent and ask about how he\'s doing. Apparently, even his parents had a hard time understanding why their son was so quiet.
Title: 32 dead at Virginia Tech
Post by: Coredweller on April 20, 2007, 11:36:18 AM: Have you heard rumors that Cho\'s parents attempted suicide this week? I\'ve heard that several times but I couldn\'t be bothered to figure out whether this actually happened. I guess I don\'t care whether they live or die.
