Virginia Tech Killings

[sev_zeytun]

This guy was crazy, literally. I found a play that he wrote for English class and it is pretty gruesome and violent. It's ridiculous. How could the Virginia Tech people not get more help for this guy when they knew that he was totally demented? All they could do was recommend counseling for this guy?

It's sad to say that this storyline has happened several times. Nothing gets through to the cops or the State until an individual goes on a rampage & innocent people's lives get taken away. My opinion is this: For example, since Cho Seung-Hui decided to kill people, I think he should be charged with murder & take a seat in the electrical chair.

Re: Virginia Tech Killings

Sorry people, I dissagree. Didn't read the play so don't know how "gruesome" it actually is.....but writting a play doesn't make you a criminal....

If it did, Rob Zombie would have been jailed some time ago. I'm sure you can think of a whole bunch of crazy writters...

Everytime something like this happens everyone starts pointing fingers. The guy was fcked up, there are lots of fcked up people, just be carefull, that's all I can say....

I'm just surprised that one person could kill over 30 people.... you would think once they saw the guy shot like lets say 5...wouldn't someone do something about it??????

About earlier what I said that he should be charged with murder or take a seat in the electrical chair, no need to because he already shot himself. I wasn't aware of him shooting himself.

9:05 a.m.: Cho seen in Norris Hall, an Engineering building. Cho chains the doors shut from the inside to prevent escape.

I think we need more gun control. Honestly, people can protect themselves from a knife or a fist but never a gun. How many people could he have possibly killed with a knife rather than a gun and couldn't people have a chance to defend themselves? And I am sure that if he decided to make a homemade bomb or something in a university someone would have found out and reported him. I think that the NRA needs to just shut it and get rid of the guns.

I really doubt we are going to get gun control legislation passed under this administration. People felt the same way after what happened at Columbine High School and nothing got done.

If more people were packing a gun at the school, this dumb ass wouldn't have made it as far. So the "gun control" argument can go either way on this ... less guns and more guns might both have resulted in a better outcome.

Re: Virginia Tech Killings

I am still on the agreement for less guns though. I heard that in European countries like England people are not allowed to own guns so the annual gunshot fatalities are 5 or 6. On the other hand, in the US the annual gunshot fatallities are over 10,000. England has 60.6 million people and the US has 300 million people. If Britain's population was also 300 million they would only be losing about 25 people a year while the US loses 10,000.

I'm with Sip on this one. You can't take guns on a public campus even with conceal and carry permit, so no one could do anything until police arrived.

The gun control legislature does not work for the simple reason that the people who are out shooting people are not buying their guns legally and registering them, etc. The laws are targeted at the wrong people.

On the flip side of that, if guns were more widely available, I think most would think twice before pulling a gun on someone.

You can't compare to European countries because there are sooooo many other differences. Besides, the military issues a rifle to every 18+ yo male in Switzerland and they don't lose their tempers and go shoot people.
