There are some sick people in this world...

Ya know, it takes an incident like we had two days ago to really realize that an individual, could commit as much horror as we could ever imagine. I was 12 when the Columbine shootings took place, only in 7'th grade. It didn't really take home to me honestly.
During 2000-2003 my father was a private courrier to and from NYC. When 9/11 hit, my father was right in the middle of Manhattan. I remember getting the news of the first plane hitting. I was skipping my Algebra class to get some breakfest from the Cafeteria. My gym teacher happened to be in front in me in line He ettered out the words to the cashier, "Did you here? Some stupid pilot crashed a plane into the World Trade Center." I immediatlly called my father boss. He was ok. Little did he know that he was not conceptualizing on a little crash, but a terrorist attack. Ten minutes later, the second plane struck. The headmaster of our school came over the intercom telling us the news of the first and second plane. I couldn't believe it. I broke down in tears. I needed the help of my guidance counscalr to help me throung my pain. How could anybody do this?
Why did this guy do this to innocent VT students? The worst school shooting in US history. He was a loner. A man with obvious mental problems. Being in his distorted state of mind, he decided to take the life of 33 people including himself. Aside from all the security measures VT could of taken, what about Cho Seung-Hui, the gunman. What could we have done prior?
I'll admit, some of these incidents can not be prevented. At random, people we don't expect strike horrific violence onto others. But what about those who seem not to alltogheter. If this guy Seng-Hui had a good friend, I guarantee this sort of thing would not have happened. He was alone, simply left to himself.
The plain message being if you see someone "a little too out there", then lend a helping hand. People's mental stability is just as much important as their physicall stabilty. Cho Seung-Hui didn't have anybody to call a friend and it's sad. Imagine not having a crew let alone a friend or two to confer with. Be kind of depressing, don't you think.
So in conclusion, my prayers go out to ALL the lives lost in the shooting.
