I went there for a year (10 years ago), it's very strange watching a story like this when you have been in all of the buildings.

I don't know what the hell is happening out there in HS and college these days. Only a few short years have past since I was a student, yet it seems like there are so many more issues.

Our generation is so fucked up in the head.
I mean you know your generation is fucked when being depressed,apathetic, and suicidal is glorified through the emo culture and other similar cultures.

The shooting was the fourth at a U.S. school within a week.

On Feb. 8, a woman shot two fellow students to death before committing suicide at Louisiana Technical College in Baton Rouge. In Memphis, Tenn., a 17-year-old is accused of shooting and critically wounding a fellow student Monday during a high school gym class, and the 15-year-old victim of a shooting at an Oxnard, Calif., junior high school has been declared brain dead.

WELL! It's a goddamned good thing that he was in a GUN FREE ZONE.

the wbc is at it again. They are the ones who protest military funerals praising god for the deaths of soldiers because America tolerates homosexuality.

This is pathetic.

I agree with you 100%. I had a friend who was real cool then all of a sudden he went emo on me. He started cutting his wrist and started telling me how much his life sucked. WTF!!! He had scholarships to 5 colleges and he threw it all away to be with other emos like him. He does nothing now but bitch about how life sucks. Its your problem if your life sucks(sometimes)but if you have to be a low life bastard and take other peoples lives because of it, then by all means I hope you burn in hell til the end of time.

My heart and prayers go out to all the victims involved in this disaster.:icon_cry:

 

[suprarx7nut]

Goddammit. Add another to the list of pathetic young adults/poor parents.

My condolences to the victims.

WELL! It's a goddamned good thing that he was in a GUN FREE ZONE.

Not to mention its illegal for citizens of Illinois to carry a firearm, concealed or otherwise.

But it was a gun free zone, so how did this tragedy happen? I mean, sheesh guns aren't even allowed over there..... :sarcasm:

At what point will the general concensus be that schools are too dangerous to be in because of the constant threat of being gunned down while studying calculus? Sooner or later, there will be a damand to turn schools into fortresses, where will we be then?

The system, so it seems, is defeating itself.
