Tragic Bloodbath

Today is a day for mourning in America, in the campus here at the pit, and especially in Virginia Tech. Yesterday, a loner, aparantly having twisted mentality, decided to go around the campus shooting innocent people. To watch the news report from CBS made it hard to comprehend why such madness should occur? In my Global Marketing class, there's some discussion about a twisted link to Adolf Hitler's Birthday, which so coincidentally falls this Friday... Whatever links created to this mass killing, one thing for sure, it reinforces that life is so unpredictable. Who would ever think that a college student, full of hope, aspiration and future, could become a mad gunman. Millions of dreams are destroyed as a result. The world is discounted from the contribution of bright minds, not only of Americans, but also of other international students who were victims to the deadliest campus shooting in US history. This is a day to grief with America, with Virginia Tech and with the friends and family members of the victims. May God bless them and may God receive the deceased with loving arms.
