Default Re: What would you do about Virginia Tech?

What exactly can we do to prevent something like this? Nothing! The fact of the matter is when there is a random unforseen act of violence like this, there's nothing you can do about it! If a crazy person wants to get some guns and go on a killing spree, how can he be stopped? He gets to choose the time and place. I'm sure after this there will be much better security at Va Tech. But what about the local mall? What about the public library? A hospital? Unless you want to live in a police state with armed guards on every corner, this sort of thing will always be with us.

I'd say the average person has a better chance of getting struck by lightning than being killed in a random killing spree. In the VAST majority of murders, the two people know each other.
