Massacre
Amazing. There’s already a Wikipedia article about the Virginia Tech shootings. My, how things have changed.
I can’t imagine being a student there and trying to somehow go to sleep tonight. I had a hard enough time going to sleep after the 9/11 attacks because my mind wouldn’t stop racing. It would be even worse to try to sleep in a place that was supposed to be safe and secure.
A member of the Crater Lake ’96 crew at Philmont went to school at Virginia Tech. Last I had heard from him (about 3 years ago), he was working at Viriginia Tech. I sure hope John is OK.
Thoughts and prayers are with the Virginia Tech community as they begin to somehow make sense of all of this…

Stuff like this makes me feel insecure in general.. Of course, I’m home all day watching the news and awaiting every new detail, but.. I often tell myself that I don’t need to be afraid to go out into the world because murderers usually have a target and a motive and don’t just go around blowing up random people. And then something like this happens. It’s really a scary world, if you ask me. Maybe the mental health field wasn’t the best choice for a paranoid person like me because sometimes I think I have seen too much of what can happen in the mind of a person. On the other hand, maybe knowledge is power–but power didn’t save any of those people at VT.
God bless the VT community and especially the parents that lost children.
