Virginia Tech: Too Much To Write About
With the massacre at Virginia Tech on Monday, that has been th focus of the news for the past week. Although it is a very disturbing (understatement!) event, it needs to be covered. My prayers go out to the families of those murdered in this heinous act, as well as those wounded or injured.
The animal who perpetrated this obscene act of violence has been getting way too much attention, with verbage that downplays the evil he performed, making it seem like he was just a bad person, and not an agent of evil.
The Main Stream Media has been playing various video and posting statements the animal made just before the murdering rampage took place. They of routinely used the wrd "manifesto" to describe the animal's final words. To their credit, they did stop broacasting much of this material, but only after there was a public outcry against it. Broadcasting the material was more damaging to those seeking healing than it did "good."
This brute was not a man, but an animal, and I refuse to refer to this animal as being something more than that.
Much has been written in the past week. I've been reflecting on the events for the past few days. I don't have answers on how to prevent such from occuring again. Just know that my prayers are with those who are suffering anguish over the event. I have no doubt that your prayers are with them as well.

Todd,
I have thought about this quite a bit since the news first broke. I don't have any answers either. The anti-gun freaks are just starting to get going on this one. It just makes me wonder what would have had happened if one of the victims had been armed and trained to protect themselves. Of course that would never happen, guns are banned on Virginia Tech campus...
