Virginia Tech Massacre

In light of the recent tragedy at VT, we are dedicating this post to the 32 lives, hastefully taken.

The recent massacre is receiving numerous press and headlines and rightfully so. However I find it unnecessary that the media is giving so much attention to the slaughterer who commit ed these crimes. His life should not counted in the death toll. He is not among the Innocent lives that was taken, rather he is the monster that unleashed the bullets on students.
In addition, I feel that the continuous mentioning of this being the largest school shooting in United States history promotes a sick competition, to "out do the already done." However with this same statement it must be said that without giving the proper recognition to the victims, there is little imprint on the public unless the magnitude of the event is reinforced through the number of those no longer with us.
