Virginia Tech Listening to: Wind against the window
While we were out earlier today, I noticed that all of the flags were at half mast (only raised to half the height of the flag pole) and I realized it was because of what had happened in Virginia about a week ago. When my brother and I heard it for the first time, it was right after the first shooting had happened. We were watching it on Fox News, and the second shooting hadn't happened yet. It was scary, considering that my brother had been there before with my cousin, since my cousin used to study at Virginia Tech. She graduated this year though. When we woke up the next morning (it was late at night when we were watching it live), we found out about the second shooting, and the news of all the lives that were lost. It's really sad, all the students that died there, and all the people and dreams that they left behind. I also feel sorry for the gunman. What could have possibly driven him to do such a thing on fellow students? On the news they said it was stuff about extreme hate for the rich and oppression. Was it really that bad? Could it somehow have been prevented? And the professor who died barricading the door.. I wonder what was going through his mind? And the students, as they were forced to jump out their windows..
It really must have been horrible, and I can't even start to imagine what they went through that day. My heart goes out to them all.
