Why did the shooter have to kill innocent people? <<snip:promoting violence>> It's so sad that poeple died for no reason. |

It's so sad my brother. It's said to be the worst in the history of American College. Imagine young college student getting ready to go to class, some already in class, sent to great beyond. oh!! this life ![]() |

i was about to post this topic too, that story was so sad. I think they should get rid of guns in the U.S. just a suggestion |

I just found out today receiving from my church bereaved announcement (electronically) that i could not believe hearing this. One of among 32 dead is named Erin Peterson, a student of Virginia Tech. She was my active church member here in Virginia. Virginia Tech is more than 200 miles southwestern Virginia from my currently residence and church---more than 4 hours driving. Please continue praying for my church member, Erin's family the Hogan and Peterson in the spiritual deliverance of healing processing in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen, Uspry1 |

I don't like depression drug, he was said to be on depression drug. sad that we may never know the motive behind his killing spree. was it a girlfriend issue, roommate issue, family problem, classmates? so many question mark. he should not have been a loner. he should have come on Nairaland and have fun. and by the time he post one or two, he would have been fine, May the souls of the departed rest in peace. may the Lord be with the family. |

Its a wake up call |
Re: Virginia Tech Rampage by Nobody: 12:34am On Apr 18, 2007 |
omoge: that is why even in poverty, in the face of rogues like Obasanjo and Atiku, massive election rigging and widespread power outages Nigerians are the happiest people on earth. Perhaps it is because we are too hugnry to go shooting our school mates. In that case long may our hunger last! ![]() |
Re: Virginia Tech Rampage by 4Play(m): 12:39am On Apr 18, 2007 |
omoge: LMAO.I don't think NL is a good place for someone who is mentally disturbed ![]() Alternatively,he could have been right at home with many of the nutters that populate this forum |
Re: Virginia Tech Rampage by maree7(f): 12:42am On Apr 18, 2007 |
davidylan: lol, that is the same thing i sed. this is usually happening in all white skools or sumn, Africans would not spend their hard earned money on some gun to shoot people, which time do we have to go and do that ? with all those police that arrived lives were still lost ![]() Lord Jesus Christ is the only security we got |
Re: Virginia Tech Rampage by omoge(f): 1:30am On Apr 18, 2007 |
LMHO ![]() 4 Play: For real? lol |
Re: Virginia Tech Rampage by omoge(f): 1:33am On Apr 18, 2007 |
Abi ooo, them chop belleful. na person whey dey hunger fit carry gun? davidylan: |
Re: Virginia Tech Rampage by 4Play(m): 1:36am On Apr 18, 2007 |
omoge:Here in Nigeria,we kill people for a "cause"-mishandling the Koran,keeping PDP in power,e.t.c |
Re: Virginia Tech Rampage by Nobody: 1:39am On Apr 18, 2007 |
4 Play: The term "Nigerian" does not apply to all of us. Some of us are from Niger and Chad by default. There they kill for mishandling the quran, for being Igbo and for cartoons drawn by an astronaut in the moon. |
Re: Virginia Tech Rampage by omoge(f): 1:39am On Apr 18, 2007 |
@ 4 Play True, there are really sick pple around you know. many are sick upstair. |
Re: Virginia Tech Rampage by jgirl3: 1:39am On Apr 18, 2007 |
davidylan: Abi o! We still thank God that no one is going around with guns and shooting our students up and down. This is sad. They should have shut the school down after the first incident. |
Re: Virginia Tech Rampage by 4Play(m): 1:51am On Apr 18, 2007 |
j-girl: You never hear about cultism?Cultism takes more student lives per annum in Naija than in the US |
Re: Virginia Tech Rampage by jgirl3: 1:55am On Apr 18, 2007 |
cultism is a federal problem. I haven't seen one guy get up and just shoot everyone in school then himself out of depression in naija. |
Re: Virginia Tech Rampage by Nobody: 1:59am On Apr 18, 2007 |
4 Play: Cultists shoot fellow cultists. I am yet to hear of a Nigerian kid write a rambling letter about stalking women, strangling his stepfather, buy two guns and go killing his school mates and professors! Ever heard of a Nigerian kid in depression? j-girl: How would they send out 26000 students in 2hrs and to where? They were not even aware of the shooter nor what really was happening that would that helped them come to a decision. The school is not to blame! It is easy to blame the school becasue we all expect that Americans should be able to perform magic and do the right thing always. Sometimes they are merely human like us too. |
Re: Virginia Tech Rampage by Nobody: 2:04am On Apr 18, 2007 |
real sad story. At first I thought Jihad had come to Virginia Tech |
Re: Virginia Tech Rampage by 4Play(m): 2:06am On Apr 18, 2007 |
davidylan: You overestimate the accuracy of the shooting abilities of Nigerian students.Lecturers,innocent students,e.t.c regularly get shot in Naija Whatever is the motive behind the violence,the consequence of on-campus violence is felt more by the average Nigerian student than by the average American student.I would be more fearful sending my kids to a Nigerian uni than a US uni |
Re: Virginia Tech Rampage by 9ja4eva: 2:07am On Apr 18, 2007 |
davidylan: Abi oh.Its so so sad though.I Sympathize with families who lost loved ones and the school.I still cant figure out why the shooter acted dt way.Why didnt someone call the police immediately?I hope the letter they found gives them a clue.Am so so scared to go to school now cos u neva can tell.Everyone gat to be on d lookout for quiet students.I hope no Nairalander goes to that school?What a loss? |
Re: Virginia Tech Rampage by Nobody: 2:09am On Apr 18, 2007 |
9ja4eva: No, Nairaland users mostly go to backyard schools like Howard and TSU lol |

Re: Virginia Tech Rampage by Nobody: 2:11am On Apr 18, 2007 |
4 Play: Of course we cannot make comparisons between American and Nigerian colleges. That of Nigeria is multifactorial, add poverty and joblessness and you have a recipe for disaster. The Americans dont have that excuse. |
Re: Virginia Tech Rampage by Nobody: 2:13am On Apr 18, 2007 |
babyosisi: i thought most of them were either in highschool, struggling with associate degrees in community colleges or working odd jobs. ![]() |
Re: Virginia Tech Rampage by omoge(f): 2:13am On Apr 18, 2007 |
