Re: Shooting Rampage at Northern Illinois U.
Terrible story.
It's unfortunate that anyone could drive themselves to do something like this. I've always been eerily fascinated by the minds of these kinds of people. Why not just take yourself out? Is that really how you want to exit this world? Makes no sense. Horrible tragedy.

Re: Shooting Rampage at Northern Illinois U.
The worrisome part is whenever I look around at people at a library or lecture hall I usually feel there are about 10-20% of people who would just fall into a category of people who would do something like this.
Our school especially, has several predominate cultures and groups, and its just there are the people that dont fit in, or just look like there are apt to these kinda acts. I don't know how to explain it, but it's just bad because a VT can happen anywhere.

Re: Shooting Rampage at Northern Illinois U.
After VT...I definitely find myself analyzing my classrooms for a defense plan. Where to escape, best way to barricade the door, etc.
Shitty reality.

Re: Shooting Rampage at Northern Illinois U.
I've got lots of connections there. Two of my best friends had a class in the building at the time the shooting took place. One of em ditched the class, and the other was there, but is fine.
Scary shit though, my heart skipped a beat when I read about it.

Re: Shooting Rampage at Northern Illinois U.
This really sucks, I hate hearing about stories like this but unfortunately it's becoming commonplace because nothing can really stop it from happening except the gunman himself. This brings back horrible memories of VT.

I was using Japan as an example because I live here, but you don't see school shootings anywhere else but America. My point is that there are psychopaths everywhere, they are just loaded up with guns in the states. That's just the reaction I have every time I hear about one of these. I get sick of having to try and defend my country two or more times every year to people who just can't understand why we continue to allow this to happen. |

Re: Shooting Rampage at Northern Illinois U.
Yea we really have stupid stupid gun laws. Sorry 2nd Amendment lovers, but its just too easy to get a gun in VA. A good percentage of guns found in NYC crimes are originally from VA, because it is a joke to get one here.
I hate Michael Moore, but some of the points in "Bowling for Coulbine(sp)" were valid in comparison to Canada. I agree djnemo, it is really annoying to me at times unfortunately it will take tragedies like these to create any kind of substantial gun law reform.
