February 15, 200818 yr Terrible terrible news. I never really consider this as something that could happen to me whenever I walk into class during the week. Can't imagine the pain the parents of the lost students are in right now.

Can't imagine the pain the parents of the lost students are in right now. Yeah, after walking around a college campus all day this hits a little close to home. I can't imagine what it would be like for those involved. Part of me wants to look into what happened, namely why, but the other part of me doesn't want to buy into the media aspect of it, if that makes sense.
