The Worst People Ever

The incident at Virginia Tech this week was one of the worst things to happen in recent memory. It was a terrible tragedy that, though it sucks to say it, really couldn't have been prevented. If someone is that messed up in the head, and that hell-bent on making others feel his perceived pain, there isn't much that can be done.

There are numerous societal errors we can reflect on now, like the fact that he was able to so easily purchase guns or his obvious mental instability that while diagnosed, was overlooked for the most part. To a lesser degree, the fact that they didn't close the campus after the first round of shootings. In retrospect, it would have been a good idea, but I can't really fault the university for that. Hindsight is 20/20.

Out of all of this comes a sickening story. Surprisingly, religious fanatics are behind it. These people might even be worse then the gunman himself. Despicable. Is it wrong that I want these people gunned-down in cold blood?
