The last few days the nation has been shocked by the tragic campus shootings in Virginia, and I thought I would do a post so that people could talk about them–their feelings, their questions, their prayers–whatever it is that they have on their hearts concerning the horror that unfolded earlier this week.
I don’t really have a lot to say at this point, myself. The guy who committed the shootings was obviously completely nuts–as his multimedia rant to NBC illustrates–and it’s hard to know what to say when someone goes murderously off the deep end. It’s just so irrational. The guy was filled with hate and rage–so much so that his ranting to NBC doesn’t even give a clear sense of who he was mad at. Maybe he wasn’t mad at anyone in particular. Maybe he just had a globalized rage that didn’t have a specific focus.
I will have more to say–perhaps tomorrow–but for now it’s just appalling that anything like this can happen. I can’t understand how someone can get so twisted around that they would want to do something like this. I can only conclude that something went desperately wrong inside him, and I can only pray for his victims and for his own soul.
