Virginia Tech Tragedy
As many have been doing, I’ve been watching the news and keeping updated on yesterday’s events at Virginia Tech. It’s obviously a very terrible thing that happened, with a lot of unanswered questions. The shooter is now deceased as well, so we only have clues but no definitive answers about his motivations and state of mind. From what it appears, he was mentally ill, perhaps a little schizoid (not to be confused with schizophrenic).
Whatever the motivation, this horrible rampage has affected people far and wide, including me. I’m almost a little glad that our classes were canceled today due to the raining and flooding in New Jersey…Although logically I know the chances of anything bad happening while lecturing are quite small, yesterday made it quite salient just how open college campuses are. My thoughts are with all those people affected by what happened at VA Tech and I hope that we find some answers and peace soon.
