US COLLEGE SHOOTING - TOUGH TIMES

Yesterday I posted a blog on the US COLLEGE CAMPUS SHOOTING Rampage which killed 33 innocent people and wounded 26 people. After a day of media attention, there has been lot of investigation and fury of research went on the background.

The killer guy was a Korean, age 23. He is always been a disturbed guy and stalked 2 women in 2005. It seems that there parents even thought he might be suicidal at one point. It all points to one thing, he know its coming but not us. We will never know the answer "Why he took on the cruel act to kill these many people". Its always going to be one of the questions which stays forever unanswered.

With all the ciaos which happened on Monday, the families of the shooting victims were totally devastated. When I was watching some of the channels showing the families affected, I couldn't control myself. I just want to cry out for them. I know we see this instances often these days with tragedies happening all around us. I couldn't imagine how hard it will for those families going thru this sad and anguish moment.

I like to request everybody who happens to see post to add these families of the victims who is struggling at this moment to your prayers for their peace. Here is the list of innocent victims who will be remembered.

I also happen to hear a touching poem from one of the college professors -- Nikki Giovanni, University Distinguished Professor of English, VPI&SU.

We Are Virginia Tech

We are Virginia Tech

We are sad today

And we will be sad for quite a while

We are not moving on

We are embracing our mourning

We are Virginia Tech

We are strong enough to stand tall tearlessly

We are brave enough to bend to cry ...

And sad enough to know we must laugh again

We are Virginia Tech

We do not understand this tragedy

We know we did nothing to deserve it

But neither does a child in Africa dying of aids

Neither do the invisible children walking the night away to avoid being captured by a rogue army

Neither does the baby elephant watching his community being devastated for ivory

Neither does the Mexican child looking for fresh water

Neither does the Appalachian infant killed in the middle of night in his crib in the home its father built with his own hands being run over by a boulder because the land was destablized

No one deserves a tragedy

We are Virginia Tech

The Hokie nation embraces our own and reaches out with open heart and hands to those who offer their hearts and minds

We are strong and brave and innocent and unafraid

We are better than we think and not quite what we want to be

We are alive to the imagination and the possibility

We will continue to invent the future

Through our blood and tears

Through all this sadness

We are the Hokies

We will prevail

We will prevail

We will prevail

We are Virginia Tech

Let GOD be with them and hold them to get through this tough time..
