22 people gunned down at Virginia Tech

[jl1966]

I live in Roanoke Va., 15 min. from Virginia Tech. Many of my family members went there. I am mad. Mad that a great school of engineering and agriculture will be forever linked with this. Mad that the dirty outside world has intruded into my little mountain world of peace. Mad at the idiots I see on CNN and MSNBC talking about something they know nothing about, Bill Oreilly or Rosie Odonnell or Sarah Brady, all idiots. The officials at VT did what they thought was best at the time. We will have all of the rest of time to second guess them. Things like this don't happen here. The cell phone video they keep showing with the gunshots? I walked right through that exact place several times back in the fall at the VT game against Georgia Tech. The killer had a Glock 9mm and a walther .22 pistol he bought at Roanoke Firearms. I have been in that place a million times, drive by it everyday on my way to work. How does this happen? I met my wife for lunch Monday. As I was getting out of the truck an ambulance was going by. I paid little attention. My wife arrived crying, seems the ambulance was one from Blacksburg, bringing someone to a Roanoke because we have a level 1 trauma center, Blacksburg does not. We had a gun show in Roanoke last Saturday. I went of course. Was the killer there, buying ammo to do this? How do we prevent this? I watch the news and they are talking about my backyard, not because the Hokies won another ballgame, but because of this. How?
