Slaughter in a US university...

April 17, 2007 — Cho Seung-Hui, 23, the Virginia Tech student who police believe is responsible for killing 33 people at the university he attended.
Everyone is wondering why this keeps happening in the USA. Why is it so easy to buy weapons in that country? How is it possible that tragedies like this one are not enough to make the government enforce a law against weapons? Who is earning money with the business?...
Another problem that worries me is bullying. Some teenagers live a life of fear and despair during their school years and some of them carry in their memory the episodes of violence and humiliation all through their life. There are some who suffer from depression while still at school or afterwards, because the image of themselves is affected and some are not able to overcome the trauma. Some others become killers... Teachers and parents must pay attention to the signs...

it's sad to see these kind of things happening.. who have the right of take other people's lives? nobody, absolutely nobody!
when you don't want to live, you can just kill yourself.. but.. kill other people that don't have nothing to do with it, that have lives and want to live them? ..it isn't fair. Even more, those people who died, hadn't done anything wrong to Cho Seung-Hui... he hadn't the right of kill them..

I agree with you, Raquel. I think that everyone has the right to live a long life and nobody has the right to kill other people.

we do not understand the reason he made that… nothing justifies the death of as many people by any reason…
