1. US needs school security
Josh   (04.17.07)
The US needs to offer more security for their student. They should have gated security and baggage checks. Maybe intelligent-video cameras, like Technion college, that detect, track and notify when people are moving around in odd places or in the early morning hours.
2. Virginia Shooting
Linda Martin ,   Middletown, CT, USA   (04.17.07)
I think it is terrible what has happened at Virginia Tech. More importantly, I think that the college was neglient in notifing the staff and students immediately. I would never even consider that college for my daughter as it seems that they are running the college with poor communication to those on the campus. The second incident could have been avoided with proper communication.
3. WHY DID HE HAVE TO DO THAT??/
LAKENDRA JONES ,   jersey city, usa   (04.17.07)
HE DID NOT HAVE TO KILL ALL THOSE PEOPLE.. THEY WHERE THERE FOR THERE EDUCATION AND THEY DIED TRYING TO GET AN EDUCATION... THAT IS VERY SAD... THEY WERE TRYING TO BE A BETTER PERSON AND THEY ARE BEING KILLED... I REALLY WOULDNT KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO IF THAT HAPPENED TO ANY OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS... THAT IS WHY I CRY.. BECAUSE THE FAMILIES OF THE ONES THAT WERE KILLED.. I KNOW THEY ARE VERY SAD.. AND I REALLY FEEL BAD... I REALLY HOPE SOMETHING CAN REALLY BE DONE ABOUT THINGS ABOUT THIS.....

Lenient gun laws take innocent lives
6. Mida k'neged mida
Tuvia ,   Gush Etztion, Israel   (04.17.07)
Today many American campuses are full of anti-Jewish, anti-Israeli propaganda. Holocaust denial and destruction of Israel are legitimate subjects for debate. Maybe hashem is taking revenge.
7. Oh I get it, Tuvia (6)!!!
(04.17.07)
You mean it's appropriate that a Holocaust survivor was murdered, mida knegged mida, for the pro-Arab/anti-Israeli and Neo Nazi sentiments being expressed on campuses like Concordia University in Canada. Hmm. Yeah. That makes sense.
8. #5 and #6
John Cunningham ,   Haverford, PA, USA   (04.17.07)
#5, guns are easy to get illegally here. It's a huge country with plenty of wide open spaces occupied with three-hundred million people. On the other hand, if all the students had guns the shooter wouldn't have tried. #6, nothing like that, this is one nut job acting out in the worst way possible. I think he's an anti-himself. Fortunately he killed himself, we don't have to listen to why 'he was having a bad day' for the next twenty years.
9. #8 Listen closer
Josh   (04.17.07)
Wait and see. As usual there will be some background of the individual that will be religiously fanatic. Either dressing Goth (ostrigoths and visigoths cannonized church law), shooting his prayer group, listening to voices from G-d, Satan, or thinking that he is Jesus. This is the profile of this sort of signs and wonders. Once again the number 3 is present. I would say, it is not anti-semitism but a violation of the most cursed sin of Torah. A three god. Watch the follow up stories about the man who carried an "Ungodly amount of ammunition" as one witness put it. The best and brightest.
10. Sorry John - that's bunk
(04.17.07)
Leniency with the attaining legal weapons is part of why it's so easy to get illegal weapons. Israel probably has many times as many guns owned (or used) per capita as in the US, and although we have our slipups, we are understandably shocked by what goes on over there.
11. #10, Sorry, John
John Cunningham ,   Haverford, PA, USA   (04.17.07)
I know it looks bad, but... The country's three thousand miles wide and one-thousand miles high. My brother used to drive the equivalant width of Israel to catch a train to continue the remaining sixty miles to get to his off in New York. Can't watch all the nut jobs all the time. Come visit, you'll see.
12. follow up post 9 to Satan and religion
Josh   (04.18.07)
The murderer wrote plays about being molested and ranting about catholic preists. He also wrote of his rebel character "John" - I feel the satanic presence all around me. His playscripts Richard McBeef and Mr. Brownstone posted on the web. See the profile and signs of a cursed individual
13. Freaky shooter - punisher thinks of himself as a Jesus
Josh   (04.20.07)
As I predicted in my first post. Cho recorded videos and sent them to CBS. In the videos he said: ...I die like Jesus and ...do you know what it is like to be humilated and impailed on a cross... How did I predict this? Because its in Torah and the words that Jesus spoke. Modern signs of what Israel recieved when the Hasus showed up to bring war and spread the seeds of Deuteronomy 13. As Cho put it "you love to crucify me. you love intrudicing cancer in my head terrorizing my heart and raping my soul."
