    Many people in the world deserve the death,but they don´t die.Many peolple in the world deserve to live,but their life will be taken away by someone,who we can not control.We can´t make things stop or change but we can try to help the familys,friends,survovors and witness,with praying for them and the souls of the victims.I wish,these kind of thinks won´t happen again,but we have to see the reality,we can´t stop people,who do this,they will always be with us.And so we can only fight it,if we stick together.May the victims be in a better world and may the familys of the victims cope with it.May God pretect them.In deep sorrow Sven from Germany 😥

  11. Romke says:

    It is horrible. But it was 33 people. A proffesor hold his door closed, so the student can clim out the room and the proffesor was shoot dead. Not weapons kill people but people kill people!

  14. andrew says:

    guys, I have read the news about the S. Korean boy, people said in the interview that he was a loner who never tallked to anyone and was always igonoring other people's salutations and greetings. In school they said that he always wrote essay that we're about explicit violence and sexuality. Before he started shooting people, he left a note in his backpack, warning women and other rich kids. That's all I know for now about him, they said that in the news, you can look it up on yahoo.com. 🙁

  15. andrew says:

    also, president Bush came to VA TECH to honor those people who are dead. About thousands of poeople came with candles and mourned of their loved ones. They also sang songs like Amazing Grace and some other ones as well. 🙁

  22. andrew says:

    TO SIRENA: I think he means big wars like World War I and World War II, there's a big war in IRAQ going on right now. And there are many people dying. 🙁

  23. Nathalie says:

  24. sweetheart says:

    I am so upset by this… I live in the US and it just makes me really nervous. I just can't understand why someone would do that. But anyway, thanks to e-w.net for showing your concern for something that didn't even happen in your country. ♥ Thanks so much.

  25. robert says:

    WAKE UP EVERYONE!!!!!!!! THERE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AND ALWAYS WILL BE SHIT LIKE THIS!!!! THAT WAS ONLY 32!! 1000 OF PEOPLE ARE GETTING KILLED EVERY DAY IN WAYS YOU PEOPLE WILL NEVER KNOW ABOUT ( I HOPE ).LIFE IS THOUGH AND DANGERUS!

  28. Unknown says:

    If George wants to tackle gun crime he can god damn get rid of guns and put saftey first instead of tradition!!! 😡

  29. Unknown says:

    btw why do americans think british people are posh and be racist about it? if you said that to a geordie (like me who lives in newcastle, north england), "it may just be the last thing you ever do".

  30. Ivan says:

    😥 I'm so sorry to, and Robert you forgot US today and always. What about your fib history? And what about Irak and Iran? Your start the wars, and your loss. Your how kids. May be your think your writing many fib in your history about yourself and win? Wake up its life!

  31. Ivan says:

    And I wont to say what if your don't wake up always loss. Remember me your start the 3 World War. Or its start about your.

  32. Ivan says:

    Sorry if Im… And understanding me how do you like.

  33. Shane says:

    My deepest sympathy goes to all the families and friends of the victims. Its terrible something like this can happen. Shane

  34. andrew says:

    Unknown, the reason that people do this it's because they sometimes do it out of jealousy and out of idiocrity. This has nothing to do with the Americans. Leave us alone 😡 :sad:.

  35. andrew says:

    not all of us are bad Americans, we have good Americans too :wink:.

  36. robert says:

    ivan you obisly didnt get my point so i will explain. The reson i wrote those things is that almost everyone her are so sorry for those people ( and its nothing wrong about that) and care so much for those 32-33 people, when 1000 of people are getting killed every day and we live our life like nothings happend. by the way what did you mean by ( May be your think your writing many fib in your history about yourself and win? ) because i don't see any victory by telling you this, im trying to get you and the rest to realise that there is a hell on earth. if you care so much and i hope you do then join the red kros or do something to help out those who needs it in your town(its no hard to help, it's just easier not to)

  37. Omayma says:

    this is so sad and i was so disapointed when i heard about, my heart is with all the familys who lost someone.

  38. Alden says:

    It was a tragedy. When I heard about the first shooting on MSNBC I didn't think much of it. Right up until they said that 31 people, including the gunman, were killed. Then it had my attention. But I think the one thing we're all forgetting is the gunman's family. They also lost someone who I'm guessing they cared about, even if he didn't think they so. Be sure to keep them in your prayers because I'm sure they're trying to come to grips with how someone who they raised could go on to kill that many people before killing himself. I know most of you won't agree with me…but just keep that in mind. They lost someone too.

  39. claudje says:

    couldn't say it better …. Amen!

  40. Sirena says:

    Andrew, I understood that he spoke about WWI and WW2, I understood all he meant except this one: Russia always. Why always?

  41. andrew says:

    No idea Sirena :???:.

  42. Melissa says:

    I see that I am not the only one here from Colorado and I live in Littleton. So When I heard that a school had another school shooting I asked…"Here?" Because of the two school schootings we've had here in Colorado. I, however, was NOT relieved to here the schooting was not here but in Virgina, because a shooting no matter where it is….is still a tragedy. After Columbine I thought nothing could be worse…this was worse. I can't sleep for the last few nights for thinking about those kids at VTech and those from Columbine and those at Platte Canyon HS in Colorado. That kieller 'was not a man' as many from there have stated. Go an kill yourself, don't take innocent people with you….he's not a hero, he was a dreadful coward. My heart goes out….. It is time to take back our schools.

  43. robert says:

    well Sirena by writing always i ment that Russia have always been/have in som sort of war/missory, I could have written a lot of other countries that have faced or facing missory or war, but I hoped that you knew that.

  44. Susan says:

    I think 32 was a more accurate number instead of 33. The 33rd person who died was the man who killed the other 32 people plus himself. That being said, my thoughts and prayers go out the victims, their families, the stundents, faculty, and staff at Virginia Tech, and all the people of Blacksburg, VA.

  45. Alden says:

    He still died though didn't he?

  46. Susan says:

    Yeah, but he wanted to die. The other 32 people just wanted to go to class.

  47. natonia says:

    I would just like to say i am sorry to all the families out there that lost someone in the shooting. 🙁 🙁 I would'nt kill the waste man that did this i would just leave him to God. 😡 😡 London,England.
