V.T.

the virginia tech killings are really heartbreaking. i felt so weird walking to campus after it, just thinking, that it could happen anywhere. i was watching the news one night when the V.T. police were being interviewed and it made me so sick. they were asking crazy questions like describe the scene, the guy said that it was the worst thing he had ever seen, but the media kept probing, just hungry for specifics. it made me so sick i had to turn the t.v. off. now, they are just looking to blame, blame, blame. that makes me even more upset. i saw a handful of students that were interviewed about the way that the campus handled the situation, and they stood behind their campus for the most part. a few other students talked about how they forgave the shooter; that they will never understand it, but they forgive him, because he felt like he needed to go to this extreme to be heard... i guess the shooter had been admitted to a psychiatric hospital and they found that he was a danger to himself or others; how can someone like that go and buy a gun and it doesnt even show up in the background check.... that's kind of scary. i guess there are just some things that i will never understand...

After hearing about this, I always wondered it could happen to us. I will never take life for granted!
