| Does this seem a little hush hush to you? Another Virginia tech incident... | | It seems like many do not know of the last incident that happened in January of this year at virginia tech. A Chinese student was decapitated on the virginia tech campus by another student, in a campus cafe. Now this is the same place that got so much press back in 2007 with the shootings. I find it weird that mostly no one knows about this, you would think it would get more attention since there was violence there not long ago. The bus decapitation got so much attention, and this similar crime at a well known school did not get so much. I am sure the school did not want to lower their tuition much more, so they did not want the press (though who would). Have you heard about this? What do you think? http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,481406,00.html | |

The girl was beheaded. What would drive a person so mad that he would want to behead someone? | |
| | Another Horrible Event at Virginia Tech | | Hi guys,There was a murder on the campus of VA Tech Wednesday night. A male student murdered a female student with an 8" kitchen knife, cutting her head off!
The police got there within 2 minutes of being called and when they got there, the guy was holding the girl's head in his hand! This is horrible!
Thank God they arrested him and he didn't kill anyone else, but the way he did it makes me sick! How barbaric!Please pray for VA Tech and the friends and family of this young woman. They say that the two knew each other and there was no arguement before he started butchering her.It's just so horrible! | |

[u]The Bryant Park Project, March 19, 2008 · After deadly shootings at schools in Illinois and Virginia, 12 states are considering legislation to allow guns on college campuses. Stephen Feltoon, a director for Students for Concealed Carry on Campus (SCCC), is part of a movement that says college students should have the same gun ownership rights as others.[/u]Feltoon says he purchased his first gun for recreation. "Now I own it for defense," he says. "I can take a firearm anywhere that's not a college campus, or any business that posts a 'no gun' sign. When am I carrying it?

| | Winners of the Virginia Tech Lottery | | Congratulations to the victims of Seung-Hui Cho! You've won the Virginia Tech Lottery! That's right, $11 Million in taxpayer money is now yours, simply because you were a victim!Why should you ever have to work again? Why should you have to buy medical insurance for yourself? Why even bother finishing your degree at Virginia Tech? You were the victim of a crime that the press deemed worthy of their coverage. You went through trauma and horror that should be rewarded to an exact dollar amount!Who cares if the taxpayers of Virginia weren't the ones who shot up your school! It's your right to be compensated! They should have no problem forking over boatloads of money! Anyone who would complain about this is just heartless. They must think you should have to pay for your trauma by not getting this money!How else can we, as those who care, atone for the shame we feel? How could we live with ourselves if we didn't put this kind of price tag on the lives of those who were murdered? Money, after all, is what makes everything all right!What, some cold hearted miser asked why the victims of other horrors aren't getting paid too? How dare they ask that question! Of course... | |
