What's going on? Seriously, sometimes I wonder what goes on in the minds of certain people. What motivates their actions? What causes someone to crack and do something insane.. like gun down 33 college students and professors who were minding their own business? In case you've been hiding under a rock somewhere, it happened at Virginia Tech yesterday. (Link goes to the A-Town Dependent article).
This event gave a lot of people on this college campus pause. We had a robbery at gunpoint just outside my building last week. It could easily happen on any campus anywhere in the world, and there's really not much we can do about it. You can't fight someone who has nothing to lose. There's nothing that scares someone like that.
Whatever the guy's motives turn out to be, what he did was terrorism in my book. Thinking about how we feel right now.. imagine if that sort of thing was happening every day. It does in Israel and Iraq, and dozens of other places around the world. I don't intend this as some sort of global commentary. I'm just saying.. wow. Lots of us (us being humankind in general) should stop and think for a few minutes about how to stop people like this nutjob.
Either reach out to them before they reach the "actively nuts" stage, or stop them cold with whatever force is necessary to prevent their monstrously stupid and senseless acts.
So there's my two cents. We're praying for VT today. You should too.

Prayer is not as good as an effective plan of action in the case of .... terrorism or other tragic occurances .....
