chris82 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Sad story. Fucking people doing shit like this. Background checks should be enforced more for people obtaining guns and security guard presence should be raised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gycu Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I heard this news on the radio 2 hours ago, the reporter said similar cases happened in 1997 or 1998 ( 9 deaths) and 2005 (12 deaths).Oh, the reporter said one of the factors for teenagers` violence are " the very violent video games that teens play".Maybe GTA . Everything that happens, you must blame it on the dog (The dog ate my homework,the dog snored) or GTA... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I'm just gonna check a few stories on this. When I read it in the headlines and saw that there's been 22 deaths so far. Awful. But now the total is 32, 33 including himself. Wow. Unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonOfLiberty Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 (edited) That's insane. 33 people including himself? What would drive someone to do such a herrific thing? All the teenager killers that shoot teachers/students from school have something in common: They commit suicide after killing people... It's quite simple. They are too selfish, and don't want to face the consequences of their actions. They know they're f***ed, so they take their own lives.

Rashon. Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 All the teenager killers that shoot teachers/students from school have something in common: They commit suicide after killing people... We don't really know if the killer was a teenager and if it was, that'd be weird but when I hear a murder suicide case happen, it's usually a grown man killing himself. People really don't have any brains these days. First you kill a whole lot of people then you just kill yourself. Murder suicides just don't make sense. If he wanted to kill himself, he shouldn't have taken in out on the Virginia Tech students. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get why people do this sort thing, but it really makes me feel strange when it's a teenager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harwood Butcher Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 It could also be the guilt and not the consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 That's insane.33 people including himself? What would drive someone to do such a herrific thing?

They are too selfish, and don't want to face the consequences of their actions. They know they're f***ed, so they take their own lives. Or maybe they're just insane? There are crazy people in this world. It's called mental disorders... Or what Gerard said, it could be guilt that drives them to suicide. People commit suicide after ACCIDENTLY killing people, too.

2003 Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 Student Nikolas Macko described to BBC News his experience at the center of the shootings. He had been attending a math class and heard gunshots in the corridor. Three people in the classroom barricaded themselves inside the room using a table. At one point, Macko said, the gunman even attempted to break down the door of the classroom and then shot twice into the room; one shot hit a podium and the other went out the window. The shooter reloaded and shot into the door again but the bullet did not penetrate into the room. He stated there were "many, many shots" fired.

2003 Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 Now Jack Thompson is trying to blame Video Games on the Virgina Tech shootings. This guy won't give up will he. This Guy really pisses me off, i just want to beat him with a f***ing pipe, oh no what is he going to do? Track me down and Sue me for threating him?

Jared Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 We talked about it a lot in Economics today, terribly, very terrible. I think it calls for tighter gun laws if anything. The fact someone can walk in a gun shot, buy a gun and after a maximum of 3 days have it in their hands is quiet scary. Oh, and something unexpected, that we probably should have seen coming, is this. Once again, Jack Thompson has made a disrespectful claim about the murders today, not only is it disrespectful, it's down right wrong! Some people don't even know if there family members that went to Virginia Tech are okay or not, and already he's making un-backable claims to cause more media attention then the whole ordeal has already got.

Dazza Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I was so sad when i saw this on the news like an hour after it happened. I cried a little, then i thought bout GTA then JT. So then i thought of something funny. The Guy picked up a rampage, then got given a gun and said to kill 30 people, he got it, but a rival gang member....

Chris Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 This man defines the word hero And no, there's no happy ending here either. He died. But think of all the kids he saved. EDIT: I just found out more about him. He was a survivor of the fucking HOLOCAUST What the hell must he have been thinking when he heard those gunshots...

The Bossman Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Its a disgrace that this has happened again, it wasn't long ago that a similar thing happened, but nowhere near as awful as this one. 32 dead, excluding the gunman, don't know if there has been a rise in that at all. My thoughts go out to all those who were affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
