Massacre TIME magazine did a special issue on the Viginia Tech Massacre. After reading it, I've come to realise the extent of the impact of that tragedy. I mean, everywhere in the world, there are people willing and wanting and waiting to die but no matter how much they try to end their lives it just doesnt work, but when you have people leading contented lives and working towards their dreams, and one seemingly normal Monday morning they're just shot down - no less than 3 times - and lives are shattered, just like that. It's... sad. I really dont know who in the right mind would kill so many people in a matter of a few hours. Oh right, Cho wasnt in the right mind. According to TIME magazine, everyone described him as somewhat "gloomy", "down", "depressed", and "suicidal". These pictures are making me even more depressed: http://www.time.com/time/photoessays/2007/virginia_tech/ http://www.time.com/time/photoessays/2007/vt_portfolios/ Okay I know I'm really slow, but I mean. 32 - not counting the killer - lives were ended, some of whom had really bright futures ahead. This one is a really beautiful piece: http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1613591,00.html Had lots of stuff to talk about, but this one will take precedence for today. :( |
