UPDATE: Virginia Tech Shootings

Seen below is First Lady, Laura Bush placing a bouquet beside a VT Tech memorial with President Bush standing in the foreground on Tuesday morning...

President Bush also made a speech at the school's stadium that day...



*Nicholas-Sean* has also found out exclusively through inside sources that Cho Seung-Hui, the shooter at VT Tech, has numerous profiles on online sites such as MySpace & Facebook. Administrators from both sites claim to have deleted his profiles due to the safety & well-being of family & friends of Cho Seung-Hui.

Also, I am quite concerned about the amount of 'hate' circulating around the web for Koreans (the race of Cho Seung-Hui).

Please remember to be smart & realize that this shooting rampage is by no means anything to do with race, rather, it is a tragedy stemmed from a troubled and severely depressed young man.
We must also not allow Cho to be the victim. We should instead learn from his actions and figure out a better way to keep our children safe in schools.
