Blacksburg April 16
ThoughtsI live in Blacksburg Virginia. We work at the Virginia Tech Office park here. It's a great place with lots of wonderful people. I didn't go to VT I actually went to Radford University a few miles down the road, but I have and had many friends that went here. I have been to many a tailgate with them :).
After the tragic turn of events on Monday I hope everyone who lost someone or knows someone who lost someone know that the community here is behind them 100% in our thoughts and prayers.
Here is a great article in the Chicago Tribune about the tendency to place blame on horrible things. I for one am glad that the Local Lawenforcment worked so hard in a terrible time.

People just have such a strong a need for a target to be mad at at times like that, and someone to blame. What I am finding troublesome about the aftermath is the quite predictable politicizing of the situation. This is not a Democrat/Republican issue. This is not a gun-toter/gun-grabber issue. This isn't a debate at all. It is more simply sad evidence that occasionally in our society sickness and just plain crazy exist. Unfortunately no law in the world can protect society from crazy 100% of the time.
Sorry to hear that event hit so close to home for you...

I couldn't agree more. Maybe I'm taking it to personally because I live here but the press is downright awe full. They are making an already terrible situation even worse. And for who's gain? Ratings?
