It's good to hear that family and friends of Mace and LancerVT are fine. As a Virginia Tech alumni, I hate to think the school will be noted for this and not as one of the finest engineering schools in the country.

I hope cooler heads prevail in this thread, and we don't lower ourselves to be like the media and talking heads who earn their living exploiting tragedies for profit or an agenda. In a world of 6.5 billion people and growing, we can only have a growing number of loose cannons

We can only pray or commiserate for those who are forever affected by this desperate and grievous act. A reminder that no one is guaranteed tomorrow.

Just got the following email from my friend in Blacksburg:

Quote
Thank you everyone for praying. I am receiving emails and phone calls
from all over the country -- some from people I know, many others from
those I do not, telling us of their prayers. Thank you.

We still don't know all the names of the dead or the wounded. So far,
everyone in my own congregation who worked in the building where most of
the killings occured has been accounted for, but they of course know some
of those who died. What my brother wrote was accurate -- one of my
members saved the life of her classroom by spotting the murderer approach
and closing the door quickly. Her students then blockaded the door and
he eventually went elsewhere.

In truth, we are all still numb here and not quite sure what to say or
do, other than to run again to the Gospel. Our church hosted a
multi-church prayer service tonight at 7 PM, which I got around to
planning around 6:15 pm due to the busyness of the day. There is a
photo of it on the Foxnews website right now (10:30 pm). It filled up
with pray-ers by the end of the hour, and the Lord blessed our time
together with His presence. The media showed up as well, uninvited, but
respectful.

We still don't know where to go from here. Pray for the Lord to give us
guidance and courage, particularly to JR Foster, our RUF minister, who
just endured the loss of his friend, Dustin Salter. JR got a chance to
be interviewed on secular talk radio today, and made the Gospel very
clear in his time on the air.

When Katrina hit two years ago, we didn't know what to do either, so we
gathered to pray, and out of that flowed thousands of dollars, four
different relief trips, and the "loss" of a deacon to the effort down
there. Well, we just prayed about this, and now we need the Lord to show
us who to minister to and how. Pray for us, brothers, and for the
victim's families.

personally, I do not care how the media handles it... they are all dregs anyways.

If it truly was a Chinese National, then I hope the one that offered up weapons to this individual (assuming they are not stolen or black market) faces every level of hell the government can bring down.
I regret doing business with TD Computer Systems.

My heart goes out to all of the families.

Will someone shut Geraldo Rivera up?  Seems he's glorifying his reporting of this tradgety.
