I'm sure everyone has heard about Virginia Tech. I don't think many people appreciate how historical this is; it is the largest mass murder in the history of the United States. Well, using guns, there was a bigger murder with a bomb, but still. The guy killed 33 people, including himself, and injured 21, I believe it was 21, I'm positive about the murder count. It's crazy how much damage and chaos he caused... crazy.

That guy had some wires crossed or something. It is devastating to see this happen to the country.

Here are the videos he sent to NBC:

In his videos he basically said he was sacrificing himself for the weak people and referenced himself to the likes of Jesus (and the columbine killers). They guy was crazy.

right about sacrificing himself, but that does not explain killing all of the other people. that just makes no sense.

Now I don't condone his actions. Nor am I saying he was right in doing so..

But can you really even imagine what he was going through. I mean, what does it take for a person to actually carry out a deed like that?

Do you really even want to know?

I mean, we have had dark thoughts about other person, but to actually do it, doesn't that take something that 'we' all lack? I agree it is sick, but what about him. Was he the victim also? Did life's experiences attack him time and time again, until he literally lost control?

Again, don't flame me for saying this. I was wondering this earlier. I mean, we all know that life is hard.

Some people just don't make it through alive... And in this case, he decided to take 32 others with him....
Everything in Life can be solved with an 'If/Else' statement.

Life is like one big try/catch statement, nested within a loop.

He's not a victim. Not at all. He had a good life, he was in college, and his family was loving of him. He just didn't like it. I think nonexistence is better than existence but once you're here you stick it out.
