Maybe you are right. This whole thing has really rattled me though.

I think VT should build a monument to Liviu Librescu.

He was a great man and very instrumental in the Holocaust Memorial project

I learned this morning that a classmate of my son lost her father. She’s 11.

I think what happens is, people don't want to believe that a human being is capable of doing such things. I'm not saying this about you, but I heard Dr. Phil pulling out the tired old "videogames made this happen" argument. No Dr. Phil a person did it.

Again, not saying this about you, but when people blame guns, movies, games, etc., they are trying to dehumanize it. Maybe it's easier for us to cope with if we don't consider that a person did it, but instead that they played video games or owned guns and that caused it.

The worst school killing in US history happened 80 years ago - The Bath School disaster. There were no videogames, R-rated movies all over, and gun ownership was common, and dynamite was used.
