Suspicious Society

I keep on telling people that anyone and everyone is capable of anything and everything given the right mindset. From the nicest of the nice to the meanest of the mean and so on, etcetera etcetera. The atrocities that were committed this week in Blacksburg Virgina on the Virgina Tech campus seem to reinforce my thoughts on the matter. This guy was obviously not right in the head. The line between sane and insane is

What really gets to me is the lack of action not take by the University after the first incident in which the first two victims were killed. How do you go roughly two hours without waring the student body that there is a killer on the loose. Its fucking ridiculous if you ask me. I mean, I would have to live through something like that and actually see if I would do the same or not but I like to think that I would get the word out at the very least.

Unfortunately it seems to me that with no proper action take, the situation was allowed to escalate from what could have been two murders to over 30. No lose of life is ever wished for, but when you look at it by the numbers, 2 is better than 30plus. My heart goes out to the families and friends of the victims as well as the student body and faculty that witnessed this most disturbing of human experiences.

Pin pointing troubled people such as the killer needs to become more efficient and if we are to avoid this type of events from taking place. The warning signs were present and numerous, this event in my eyes should not have happened and is inexcusable.

It makes me wonder how much of this blame falls on society in general. How careless have we gotten? I feel it is our duty to reevaluate the way society has and is shaping our lives as well as its effects on future generations.
