| emokid69 Killjoy  Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 85 | ya the guy sent letters and pictures of himself holding weaponsand they didnt do anything about it ! this whole thing could have been avoided |
| Simple and Clean Salute You in Your Grave  Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 2616 | emokid69: well, actually, he sent them after he commited the first two shootings. Which explains the gap. But they knew he was mentally unstable. |
| ageha. Bulletproof Heart  Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 25049 | Baka-kun XNinjaX: they knew he was mentally unstable. but you see, they didn't bother doing anything about it, because he wasn't being a threat before the shootings. |
| Nyx;zombified Killjoy  Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 62 | [quote="life's throes."] Baka-kun XNinjaX: He was actually considered a threat to himself and others. At least, that's what the report said that was read on the news this morning. It was simple neglect to do the right thing. Or maybe the authorities took it upon themselves to make their own decision on whether he was a threat or not. |

I dont get why they wouldn't help this kid after a Teacher threatened to quit her job if he wasn't removed from her class.. it makes no sense to me. But this couldnt have been prevented because NBC got the package on Tuesday.. the shooting was on Monday. scary thing is.. it wasnt like this kid just bursted.. this was all way too planned out. its scary dude. |
| Fezzik Salute You in Your Grave  Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 2748 | ^They couldn't help him unless he wanted help (which he didn't, of course, because he thought he was right). They can only force you into a mental health institution if you present a direct threat, and they didn't have the evidence to prove he did. I only hope that people will wake up and go for tighter gun control after this. You think of all the rights we have that the government is limiting, and yet the only one being adamantly protected is the right to bare arms. |
| Stripey-Stripes. Motor Baby  Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 804 | i live less than 30 minutes away from VA tech and that shooting hit close to home no pun intended i had some friends up there who luckily, weren't harmed but its REALLY scary to know that something like that could happen to place so near me and mine... columbine just seemed so far away... this may sound really bad and please, nobody take it the wrong way. but i feel bad for those kids, the shooters i mean. that sounds AWFUL I know...but let me explain we all know what it feels like to be the outcast, and if you dont then you are VERY lucky, these kids knew they were going to die, knew the whole world would know their names and knew that not one person (besides family) would miss them can u imagine? i think the real way to try and stop this is remeber that EVERYBODY can make a difference if that guy at Tech had one friend he could talk to, one person t o trust, that might not have happened im not saying that we should put ourselves on the line but we should reach out to those who need it....doing that could not only save their lives, but anothers life |

| MCR.4.ever Killjoy Age: 35 Gender: Female Posts: 6 | i don't think that what happed at VT could be prevented no matter what. the person that did this is ovlesly mental! shooting 32 people! holy crap! |
| cinderella. Really Not Okay  Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 725 | what about the ones that happened like yeasterday? thats fucked. |
| dontwannabeyou Killjoy Age: 30 Gender: Male Posts: 23 | The thing is... im 13 right and .. I beleive if someone is driven to a school shooting by bullying 'so be it' . I go by the line 'If your troubled and hurt, what you got under your shirt, will make them pay for the things that they did' Only take out the bullies though. |
| CAcT '-.-' tux Salute You in Your Grave  Age: 36 Gender: Female Posts: 2188 | ccchelsea: yes Gerard said he doesn't look up to them. Maybe he's interested in their psychology in an investigation sort of view point. |
| CAcT '-.-' tux Salute You in Your Grave Age: 36 Gender: Female Posts: 2188 | X--silverstars--X: I completely agree with that attitude. It's similar to Rachel Scott's from Columbine. But now since her books are everywhere, her message that everyone can make a difference (like talking to the girl/guy whom no one ever talks to) proves to be something this world really needs. along the same line, (not sidetracking- this is relevant!) some of the stuff bands are writing is really helping- take Kill Hannah's song "Unwanted" for example. They go something like: I dedicate this song to the girls and boys who don't belong, unwanted, unneeded, we've always been mistreated...to the boys who are strong...to the girls who don't exist." they're kinda 'emo' lyrics but it's acknowledging those who aren't noticed. |
| ThinkxHappyxThoughts Joining The Black Parade  Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 204 | Our high school gets a bomb threat at least once a month. They ignore them. One of these days the school is going to blow up, I swear. |
| Tara Scene Motor Baby  Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 939 | Columbine happened 8 years ago today and the shooters were "outcasts " and wanted to get revenge and VT ealier this week was doen by one man that idolized the two columbine shooters. |
| cHeMiCaLlY rOmAnCeD Killjoy Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 51 | i think the only way to prevent a school shooting is everyone being nice to every one....yea in a perfect world... |
| DeToxic8_MCRmy Killjoy  Age: - Gender: - Posts: 41 | I have a friend who is in JD, he's not allowed to call me. He goes to VT & very hard to get Accurate info sometimes. see my postings on Song Meaning>Teenagers. also MySpace : http://nielspage1.spaces.live.com |
| xXDr. KrazyXx Fabulous Killjoy Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 120 | School shootings are a very difficult topic. What I mean is, they happen for many reasons and it can be difficult to prevent them. Being mean to people is natural and people not interfering with constant bullying can result in such a thing. Believe it or not, video games can also assist in such an act. I think if people were to pay attention to students more, then maybe these things can be avoided. |
| Dejan_Revenge! Fabulous Killjoy Age: 33 Gender: Male Posts: 135 | xXDr. KrazyXx: No video games dont , this is a big misconception. I play games alot and i NEVER want to shoot someone. That asian guy who shooted the kids was a lunatic , a RETARD. No one thinks: ''o right i can shoot someone in a game , why would i do that in real life.'' If you do think that you are mentaly ill. And if you play some action/shooting games it can be good for you also. If you feel fucked you can just put om some shooting game and shoot the crap out of people. I think shooting games even pervent shootings. If you can put your feeling into a game, by shooting virtual people to feel good, then you would never shoot real people. So my conclusion: Shooting games pervent shootings ! |
