More than a question, i guess it's a reflection: Where is the security in the U.S? Why gringos (in general...I mean, the government) do not learn? First, Columbine and now, Virginia Tech?

The reason to kill 32 was his reason alone. Can you understand what goes on in such a person's mind?
There is nothing that can be done to protect all of the people all of the time.

I don't understand what gov. has anything to do with this. If someone breaks down and decides kill one person or many how can gov. stop them. The only people that can do anything are those around that person that is having the break down. Look at what is going on around the world. Bombs, shootings, stabbings, auto homicides (because of drugs or alcohol) ect…
Those around the person are the only ones that can stop him or her. If you feel someone is going to do something or someone says that they are going to do something then tell the proper authorities. Don’t think that they are just mad at the time and will not act on anything. Better safe than sorry. That guy need help and people knew it. He should have been in a hospital and receiving help. But lets say that was done. What if those around him had a gun of their own. If someone he confronted had a license to carry a weapon the out come would have been different.
Do not rely on gov. to take care of you. The have enough to take care of.

I know and I agree with you. It look like we would have learned our lesson with Columbine but I guess not. Maybe this will make them sit up and take notice. I sure hope so. I feel so sorry for all of the families that have lost children both at Columbine and Virginia Tech. They are in my prayers.

For a moment, this guy had the college's life in his hands. It must have felt really powerful. He was getting away with it so he must have felt invincible. He told himself that these people didn't deserve to live because they were all mean or had potential to hurt him emotionally. And he was a foreigner who didn't see these people as comrades, I guess. He'd already decided to kill himself. I wish they would assign people to each school to regularly patrol and provide security right on the spot and be available whenever there is a student with a concern. Or maybe only people who've passed a mental check-up could attend college and have to take more tests throughout the year/s.

People that are mentally ill don't have a logical reason to kill their victims. He was on anti-depressants, but obviously depression was not his problem. I believe that people that are mentally ill that are given these drugs become much worse and go off the deep-end. These drugs are not for everyone.

What can you do if you allow people to carry weapons that can get off 200 shots in mere minutes? We are probably lucky this hasn't happened more often. We should have not allowed citizens to carry these semi-automatic weapons in the past.

What's to learn? Maybe a law against mass murder would help?
No security system in the world will protect you against a mad man, only self protection.

NO reason. This kid was messed up in the head. He had been evaluated and he was not stable and the parents did not see to it that he was taken care of. In this situation I blame the parent for what this boy did. They knew what he was capable of doing and only they could have stopped him.
