[stupidjet]

[Cdog]

[hokieboy]

[Finger_Mullet]

[hokieboy]

Thank you all. I will try to keep you all updated if i hear of anything that doesnt make it to the news.

[Dr. Bubba]

glad you're ok

[stupidjet]

glad youre ok too. ap is reporting 32 people dead. this is horrible. why couldnt the killer just shoot himself first...

[jrocket567]

I'm at Tech as well; and the last I heard was 22 dead and a bunch wounded. The only other piece that I havent seen pop up on the news is that the shooter was of Asian decent. SWAT is still going around, and just came by and told me to close my door. Everyone just seems to be shocked and flustered.

hokieboy- what floor you on? im on 6th of Lee

jay

[DORIGHT]

It is unreal here right now. Please keep everyone here in ur thoughts and prayers.

Consider it done...glad your ok..

[hokieboy]

I am on the first floor.

[stupidjet]

"By 12:26 p.m., Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, had an entry for the shootings entitled "Virginia Tech massacre" that included a photo from the event."

[bluerunner]

I'm here also, 32 dead including the shooter and i think 28 injured so far. Many rumors going around. One of my friends was locked in her grad lab and let out around 1

[hokieboy]

Hey bluerunner glad ur ok bud.

[Big Worm]

Glad you both are safe, I cannot even know what it feels like to be a parent of a kid at the school right now.

Or any school.

This damn world needs fixing, and fast!

[DORIGHT]

Aint that the truth ??

Glad your ok bluerunner !!! This is a sad day

[Orest]

@ VT is safe.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the friends and family members of deceased and wounded.

[uncdub13]

glad you boys up there are safe.

takes a sick bastard to do somethin like that.

[bluerunner]

rumor is it is all over a girl. Either the first person killed was his g/f or he went into Norris Hall, chained the doors shut, and went through killing people while looking for his girl. This is all just rumor

[sandcruiser]

Hokieboy,
I can remember my days at NCSU and I can't even imagine what you guys and gals are going through. Can't a kid go to school without the reasonable expectation that he/she is safe whilst doing so?
What a cowardly act by a sick individual.
My heartfelt condolences to those that lost loved ones today...their lives will never be the same.

[Railroader]

This is a very sad story that is unfolding before our eyes. Prayers for the families of the dead and wounded...

Glad that our membership there are all ok!

Thankfully, the psycho-nut-job who blew a gasket and went ballistic, is dead...I hope he went down screaming.

I wonder how long it'll be before some liberal-whiny-azz gets the air-time to to try and make a victim of the shooter, and shift the blame to gun ownership??

A tragic day for the U.S. of A.

[hokieboy]

It is still unreal here. Very Very sad.

[AtlantaKing]

Hokieboy, I'm glad you're ok. Prayers to the other students. :(

It's an absolute tragedy and a crying shame. As Railroader said, soon the media will be painting the shooter as a victim and more of us will lose more rights. :mad:

[RuddeDogg]

My heart goes out to the families of the victims. This truly is a tragedy. 32 dead and more wounded. :( :( :(

Its already started, one guy was talking about violent video games probably made the guy do it

10 bucks says less then 48 hours.

Thoughts and Prayers.

[Fishbreath]

Glad to hear those we chat with regularly on P&S are safe. Shock and disgust over this. Unbelievable. Our prayers are sent to all of you and those families who have lost loved ones...

[bmcox86]

[booboo]

Prayers are with all you guys that are safe and for the families that lost loved ones today. It looks like the world is coming apart as we here more stories like this. Somebody's gotta wake up one of these days.

I wondered how long it would take before
someone turned this thread into a political
mouth piece. I hope and pray that the
families can deal with this tragic event.

[Talapia]

Prayers send for everybody up there and all the familys that have lost a loved one....It would be nice if we could keep this is thread for prayers and best wishes for everyone that will be touch by what happen today.....Make a thread for the person that did this and post your replys somewhere else about him. But like i said it would be nice to keep this thread for prayers and best wishes to familys that will never forget this day and for our board members up there be safe .....:( :( :(

Amen.

[Talapia]

You must have missed all the liberal trash that are already blaming this on Bush.:rolleyes:


Leave it alone. This is a day of loss.
We can start the smack talk again
in a few days.:rolleyes:

[bmcox86]

the familys of alot of victims already know, one of my good friends that graduate last january was just contacted by her best friend down there, her little brothers gf was one of the victims, please pray for all the victims and the familys

[bluerunner]

[JimInVA]

At 2AM this morning, I headed into work to get an early jump on the day and my son returned back to Virginia Tech. We'd enjoyed a great weekend searching for a GM Brand car for him to use during his 3-month summer internship with GM in Detroit. At 7:15AM he called to say he was back at school and that it was a quiet, pretty day with snow lightly falling. An engineering student, he was already heading towards his 8AM class. Sometime near 9AM he called again to say that there had been a shooting, that the school was going into lockdown and that he was safe.

I had a wonderful weekend with my son. And I will have more. For a few other parents, relatives and friends, this day will forever change their lives. I wish that they, too, could have been as fortunate and lucky as I was...

[bluerunner]

glad your son is ok Jim

[bluerunner]

Are you really so naive that you don't think some WHINY America hating LIBERAL will use this as an excuse to attempt to rob Americans of their constitutional right to bear arms?:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:


Have you ever heard of Columbine?:rolleyes:


other thread idiot, leave that stuff out of this one

[Cdog]

YOU SEEM TO BE THE RESIDENT EXPERT ON IDIOCY.

fu
Doormat, chill dude.In case ya missed it post your b!tching on this thread http://www.pierandsurf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38225
and leave this one to show respect for the ones that lost lives and their loved ones.

[Cdog]

I'm not going to sit back while some sniveling, pimple faced 8th grader calls me names.


I will post wherever and whatever I like. If you don't like it, YOU are free to leave.
Dude I been on this board for a long time and I seen people like you come and go. I wont be going anywhere.You keep this mess up and you might...

[RuddeDogg]

I think the powers that be need to deal with this. Talk about disrespectful.

[barty b]

I think the powers that be need to deal with this. Talk about disrespectful.

I second that...

Glad all you VT guys are OK, Prayers go out to all the victims and thier families..I can only imagine the devistation in thier lives.

[Shooter]

Anymore name calling and it will be locked down and action will be taken.

Now back to showing respect for the people that lost thier lives.

[Hat80]

I will post wherever and whatever I like. If you don't like it, YOU are free to leave.

Post with respect or leave it alone! If you can't do that, in your own words "you are free to leave" This go's for everyone that can't act like a adult! ....Hat

[Fishbreath]

Thanks Hat. Sad enough day as it is...

[Dr. Bubba]

Glad to hear your son is OK, Jim! And, I'm glad to hear you were in contact with him early on so you didn't have to worry.

[sand flea]

I understand that people's emotions are running high about the shooting, but some of what I've read on here tonight has disgusted me.

If you want to score political points, go somewhere else. I don't care if you're a conservative who thinks concealed carry laws would have stopped the shooter in his tracks or a liberal who thinks tighter gun laws would have prevented it. The fact is innocent people were murdered.

They are not political pawns to be used in an argument, they are not symbols; they were human beings and they deserve proper burial before we start screaming at each other.

Name-calling and political arguments will buy you a lifetime ban. Period.

Show a little respect.

[Orest]

by the name of Scott Kahlert? In engineering school. Friend of the family.

[rattler]

i just want the ones that died and there famlies to find PEACE...and the students to learn from this...its not all about the party or the fun...school is for the rest of your life...

[bluerunner]

don't know him but he's ok. I looked him up on facebook

[Orest]

We tried calling his folks; but am sure they are down there with him by know.

[macadoo]

Bluerunner, Glad to here you all are ok. I did not know you were at VT. Makayla wants to know when you are coming down to fish. She misses you

[bluerunner]

don't know when I'll be back, we got a boat and i got a job at Ocean Isle Fishing Center for the summer. might fish the tournys though

[sand flea]

bluerunner, meant to ask: you doing alright? There are several Va. Tech students (and parents) on here. It's one thing to watch it on TV--it's another thing to have lived through it.

[bluerunner]

i'm still in shock really, it is just starting to set in. My roommate's g/f knew one of the victims. When I didn't know anybody(or hadn't found out if i knew them) it wasn't quite real. It was surreal seeing a place I walk by every day on CNN

[macadoo]

The first one is june 9 weekend. We will be there. If there is anything we can do for you let us know. Even if u need someone to come get ya we will.

[bluerunner]

nah i'll be down at the beach by then with my vehicle. tell makayla i said hello

[macadoo]

You take care and if there is anyting at all we can do, just let us know. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

[rndhededflip]

MY COUSIN who i am very close to goes to VT... MY ENTIRE family is FORTUNATE to say that he is not harmed... MY prayers and tears goes out to others who are not as fortunate... may GOD and whoever HIGHER POWER you believe in BE WITH ALL OF THEM... LET US ALL remember this day of non-sense and stupidty...

"G"

32 dead... 28 injured... for what????

[Samurai]

Definitely prayers and best wishes to all affected.

[JimInVA]

My son sent this email last night at 6PM...

I’m trying to call home, but the wireless signals and land-lines are too overwhelmed. It’s truly been a surreal day, and it’s still hard to grasp how terrible this tragedy is. I’ve also been receiving waves of text messages, voicemails, and emails when the phone lines free up. I feel sorry for all those that have been trying to call me but haven’t been able to get through. If you’ve been following the news, you know as much as we do. 2 confirmed deaths in West Ambler Johnston this morning and 31 deaths in Norris Hall later this morning (including the shooter who committed suicide). Classes are cancelled for today and tomorrow, and I suspect classes may be cancelled for the remainder of the week. I too am glad I reached you before other concerned people may have. This has turned into the worst killing in US history, and it’s rather difficult to comprehend. What bothers me most right now is fingers are already being pointed back and forth, when what needs to be done is to contact the victims’ families.

Everyone here is fine though. We are all safe, feel safe, and just awaiting further instruction. Thank you for the emails and for easing everyone’s concerns. It’s been a hectic day, and I will probably be headed to bed soon.

[bluerunner]

that expresses how pretty much everybody feels

[Wilber]

Glad you guys are safe. Middle Wilber (Matt) is on the 4th floor in West AJ. He's ok also. Got a call from him about 9:00 yesterday am saying he OK. Then find out about the second shootings and Momma hadn't heard from her boy. Scary times. Finally get a call about 3:00 saying he's Ok after second round, Momma calms down a little and the grief sets in for the victoms and their families. Really hope Matt comes home today, for his momma's peace of mind if nothing else.

Damn sad day in Blacksberg.

[Cdog]

Cliff, glad to hear he allright.

[jcreamer]

I am at work and catching up on email.
I am glad that the P&S students are safe and well.
Our prayers are with all the parents and students.

[ivorcouple]

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen.

a truly sad day for the whole of humanity my prayers and thoughts go out to all the family and friends affected by this senseless tragedy....mike

[RuddeDogg]

PERFECT.....well said indeed.

[jcreamer]

amen
Very well done Mike

[johnnyleo11]

Haven't been on the site for a good while.

Hopefully there hasn't been any reprimand towards his parents. I'm not sure how I would deal with something like that if I were to have a child that exploded like that.
