hyfliteskate, no it was one pretty far away from me.

I just found out this girl Reema was killed. She was in one of my english classes. She was one of the most goodlooking girls I've seen and I wanted to talk to her more than anything. I saw her in the gym a few days ago and said hi. The next class we had she was looking at me the whole time and i told myself that I would talk to her after the next class we had. But now it's too late.

I guess what I'm trying to say is don't let any chances get past you. I know it's cliche, but if you want something go for it. You never know when it will too late to do something.

Once again thanks for the support.

my heart breaks for the families of the victims as well as the family of the shooter... we are ALL capable of horrible evils. I can't even begin to imagine the pain goin on in the shooter's head that lead him to do such a wicked thing. My prayers go out to everyone affected by this shocking event that has taken place.

I'm a youth pastor in MD, and my students have been greatly affected by this tragedy, as many of them have older siblings in attendance at VT, and many more had plans to attend in the fall.

As a youth pastor this shooting has given me a great opportunity to speak directly to the broken hearts of my highschool students.... many ask "why?", and more ask "where's God in this?"

if any of you are really struggling with these these or similar feelings and feel like you've got no one to talk to please feel free to call me. (832) 860-3239. I won't shuv jesus down your throat, i just wanna help you deal with this in the most positive way.

you are all in my prayers. God bless,

Ian "t-rex" McQueen

Being away at school I can only begin to imagine what the students of VT are feeling. MY thoughts are with all of those that are affected by this terrible event.

F U C K guns. We don't need them
This whole thing would not have happened if someone didn't give this guy the power to do so.

Again my thoughts are with you all. Be stong.

Liviu Librescu is a True Hero!!!

As Jews worldwide honored on Monday the memory of those who were murdered in the Holocaust, a 76-year-old survivor sacrificed his life to save his students in Monday's shooting at Virginia Tech College that left 32 dead and over two dozen wounded.

Professor Liviu Librescu, 76, threw himself in front of the shooter, who had attempted to enter his classroom. The Israeli mechanics and engineering lecturer was shot to death, but all the students lived - because of him.

He blocked the doorway with his body and asked the students to flee, Joe Librescu (his son) said in a telephone interview from his home outside of Tel Aviv. "Students started opening windows and jumping out."

Professor Librescu and his wife, immigrated to Israel from Romania in 1978 and then moved to Virginia in 1985 for his sabbatical, but had stayed since then.

Rock City Ryda, google him, some of his plays are online and some of his videos are too. i almost hate to say it and im not intending to offend anyone but from what i have seen and read this guy is the whiniest little beach in the world. after watching one of his videos the only thing i could think was that i wish i could have met this guy so i could have told him that everyone has their problems and hes not any different. he sounds like the type that always made the worst of everything and finally got the balls to do something. i say finally got the balls because im sure he contemplated it for a while before actually doing it. many others have thought about planning something like that but he actually did it. i hope his ass burns in hell.

Mr. Top Hat, i just saw those videos online, it really pisses me off when he says shizzle like "you made me do this" when his professors were trying to help him out. he was an idiot and it sucks that he took so many lives for no reason.

and when you say he finally got the balls to do it, i hope too many other people don't grow a set as well after seeing his example. there's been a lot of threats so far but i'm hoping these people will be able to keep them in their pants and work out their problems some other way.
