I would much rather read about the victims' short lives rather than rationales and excuses regarding the killer.

There is no excuss for this Person who took so many lives no matter where it is.

Now being PC, they were harmed by parents or their peers!

Hell, we all grew up with that unless you were The Beautiful People!

But actually how many are the beautiful People?

Perhas a memorial should be put up on campus whenever a student loses his or her life for whatever reason. It's up to them. I'm personally not at a point yet where I can say that my feelings for the shooter and those he shot are equivalent. That's ultimately up to the Hokies.

The individual also wrote a letter to their newspaper admitting she was the one who did it.

It doesn't matter if you're at a point yet where you can blah blah, because you're right. It's ultimately up to the Hokies and their loved ones.

There's an article in the current People magazine about how wounded students are recovering.

Out of curiousity, does anyone know what chapter Emily Haas is in? Her name is in the article (well actually picture) and she is sitting in front of a composite.

Whichever chapter she is in, I'm glad that she is okay, along with all the other people who are recovering!

I think it was said earlier that she was a member of Pi Phi? If I remember correctly, she was wounded trying to help another sister who is also recovering from a more serious wound to the back.

She is a Pi Phi and that is correct. According to our website they are both doing well in recovery.

Yeah, I think he gets it. I don't believe he was refering to a sexual act when he refered to the guy as "fucking nuts".
