When the Columbine shooting happened in 1999, I was twelve years old. I did not understand what happened. Perhaps I was too young to.
Now I am twenty years-old and I still cannot understand. I am beyond shocked and heartbroken by the news of the horrific event that occurred at Virginia Tech yesterday. One needs not a direct connection to the Virginia Tech community to cry because pain like this is universal.
The incident yesterday is described as the worst school shooting in U.S history. It saddens me to think that it is an open possibility that Cho's record might be topped. More than sadden, it fucking terrifies me. I am scared beyond words.
Bless the souls of the departed.
