who cried when the heard about virginia tech?

Question

I was watching tv, when that popped up and it made me cry so much, anyone else the same way

Answer 1

i did.

Answer 2

I didn't cry, but I was really sad over it. I felt helpless and useless that I couldn't do anything to help them.

When I found out that it was an Asian male, I felt inferior about myself. Because I am also an Asian male, but not of the same ethnicity as the murderer. I had fears that other people might have hateful thoughts about me. Because something like this affects a whole race group and not just one person, just like 9/11 did to the Arabic community.

It's wrong that some people think that way

But I was really relieved that nobody gave me any dirty looks or anything. So I felt safe again.

Here's how I see it:

90% of the people in the world are good people, only 10% are bad.

This statistic seems reasonable to me.

I was thinking, had there been 20 courageous men come charging at him with textbooks as shields, would there have been lesser fatalities?

With that many people intimidating him, the shots that he fires out of the gun wouldn't be as accurate as with the people just standing there and him shooting at point blank.

Someone out of the twenty would have gotten close enough to knock the gun out of his hand or maybe knock him out with the book.

How are we going to defend our nation if we let situations like these make us act like cowards, just like the 9/11 incident. Those men only had box cutters, which is not as dangerous as guns.

We might have to re-enact the "Code of Chivalry" or at least be taught the legality of these situations.

If there are enough eye-witnesses, somebody should at least have the right to kill him and not have any legal actions taken against them if they pursue it and successfully accomplish it before the authorities get there.

That's what our government should inform us, what we can legally do and cannot do.

Answer 3

Yes I sat here at this very computer reading what had happened and I cried for those that lost their lives and the families they left behind. I think I cried too because it hit so close to home knowing that it could have been my kids college, and the fact that my daughter had friends there at VT and I didn't know immedietly if they were ok or not. They were, but it was too close to home for me.

Answer 4

It was a very sad thing for those people to be killed. I didn't cry over it though. I rarely cry over people that I don't know who died.

Answer 5

I did not cry. I feel a great sense of loss and sadness.
