Shooting at Virginia Tech
- Thread starter Sparrow
- Start date
That's from the shooting last year Juan, actually the beginning of the 2006-07 school year. Trully a horrific year for the Virginia Tech campus.
Are you society? No. You are only a member of it the same as the rest of us. So, you think all your strees is self-inflicted? None of it is caused by things outside your control? Downsizing, gas prices, etc. are all products of our society and people get fed up with it sometimes.
Of course, the nut is the sick one, but he's still a member of society. If a part of you is sick, that means you are sick.
I KNOW I heard something this morning, I was up working on the pagan site. I thought it was the front house and looked out the door, heard (I thought screams) but the wind was really blowing.......The facts wont be in til tomorrow so there's no use trying to pull it together yet. Everyones in such shock.

I believe you but the stupid date at the top right of the article was: 4/16/2007 3:13:27 PM
..... aptly paraphrased then.Well, thanks Zen, but I arnt the guilty culprit. I only paraphrased Joseph Campbell.
I'm not so good with quotes - just know when I hear something that rings true for me - and that did ;-)
OMG... I just got home, the radio is connected in my bathroom, and it flicks on when the lights are on, and I heard about a massacre.
Run to TV... FOX News Channel, in awe.
Agreed sanctus, may God be with the families.
THIRTY TWO DEAD... TWENTY INJURED.
This is Columbine times 4.
I can`t imagine, as a person that age I feel for the people.
Self, your in Virginia, it didn`t happen in Richmond I don`t think... but your state must be in a standstill rate now.

wow...my prayers go out to all the families :-| .
I'm shocked how someone can even think about doing something like that. Its absolutely SICK what people can think of, absolutely horrifying. And the question we ask ourselves....Why do they do this?
I'm shocked 8O
May peace be with you all...and i pray that god puts a hand of healing on all those injured and that gods watches closely over those who have lost ones, i pray this in Jesus's name....AMEN

Dear Michelle, I was in Norris Hall today when the shootings took place. I thought I'd give you my account in case you wanted more information.
It was just a regular day in class; the door was open and we heard a pop-pop-popping noise. Sounded like some kind of construction but it was getting disruptive so we went to close the door, and one of the girls stepped out in the hallway to see what it was. She saw the gun and ran back inside the room and slammed the door shut and we all got down on the floor.
We heard pretty much continuous shooting for the next minute or so, and I said, "Shouldn't we barricade the door," because we were sitting ducks with no way out inside that room if he opened the door. A couple more people floated the idea that "We need to barricade the door, NOW." But I was too scared to even move, much less move the teacher's desk.
Finally one of the guys in the front of the classroom was brave enough to get up and move the desk in front of the door to prevent outside entry. About twenty seconds later, the shooter rattled the doorknob trying to get in. When he couldn't get in he fired two shots through the door (single solid piece of wood) and left. We heard him go in to 206 (the room across the hall) and shoot the people in that room. If we hadn't put the barricade up when we did, I and all my classmates would be dead.
When the police arrived five minutes later we heard them call for him to surrender his weapon and some more, irregular shots. Another five minutes later the police knocked and yelled "Police!" and we yelled "How do we know?" and when a second voice confirmed that it was in fact police, we opened the door. An officer came in and told us to line up single file, take nothing with us (I grabbed my coat) and run out the door single file while another officer escorted us.
We entered the hallway. Blood, bullet casings, and empty pistol clips were everywhere; this was definitely the most horrifying sight of my entire life. We ran past quickly. A door to the stairwell had been opened and there was a massive trail of blood; we found out later that a class had tried to escape only to find that the monster had chained the doors shut before starting his rampage. They were all killed.
We all ran to a nearby building and stayed there until we could be processed, and that was the end of it. Thank you all for your concerns and prayers, but please mostly pray for those who were seriously injured or hurt today.
Also, let me say that the response from the campus, local, and state police was exemplary. Within five minutes of the first shots, police were gathering outside. In another ten minutes, the threat had been neutralized and the building was secure. My heartfelt gratitude goes out to the brave men and women who kept us safe today.

WOW 8O ...like i don't even know what to say. Reading that from the eyes of a witness was just so realistic. Like i don't even know what to say.
Well my prayers are with you all, those hurt, those who have moved on (died), and those we had suffered from what went on. My god watch over you all! My prayers are with you all!!!
