when they first replayed someones cell phone recording, i really thought i was going to lose it.

it is such a horrible, rotten thing to have happened. to have someone so off, so out of it, to be willing to go and do this to those poor people. it's awful.
my oldest is in connecticut, my first desire was to call him--i haven't seen him in a year. not going to see him til july, i can only imagine the gut-wrenching TERROR the parents of every v-tech student felt when they first heard the news.

there is nothing in the world scarier than having children! believe me, it's true. it doesn't get any easier when they get older, i promise you! it's very humbling. they can take you to your knees in a hurry.

it's funny, even when we go out, and it's been several years we've been able to go out sans kids. you walk thru a store (or wherever) and hear a kid yell 'mommy' and you know damn well it isn't your child, you still turn around!

Yep! Makes my heart jump.

Librescu,
What can you say about a man who lays his life down to save his students. That to me is just beyond heroism. I propose that this man be given a state funeral and be held up in the highest regards at VT forever. When everyone was running out and thinking only of themselves, he thought of everyone but himself. Wow such a sobering thought and a great example of oure love.

he is someone that i would not hesitate to call a hero. that label gets thrown around so easily. but if anyone deserves it, it's him.


Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

This whole thing is some ****ed up ****.

Fact is that a situation like this is impossible to defend. When someone breaks, you just have no idea.

Fact is that in the college environment, where everyone is chill and you are subconsciencely taught to avoid distractions, something like this is plausible.

Being a former college student, this is just overwhelming. This dude just needed to get stoned more.

From the story emerging.....I think he needed WAY more than Weed!

this is just really sad, im goin through the myspaces and blogs of these people. It has made me stop and think that damn im just as old as some these kids and they were all typical college students. It has made me think about what is truly important in life and that my "problems" arent so bad and are not even problems at all.
