On monday there was a massacre at a college in Virginia. A gunman killed 33 people at Virginia Tech. It was so unbelievable and has been all over the news for days. It's all anyone can talk about. It took 2 days to figure out the identity of the killer who shot himself. It turned out he was a south korean with a green card over here. He had been in the states for 14 years. He was a loner and apparently nobody knew him and the ones that remember him say he was strange and stayed to himself. He apparently hated rich people and was taking medication for depression. My opinion on it is people made h im an outcast. I think someone made him so mad that it pushed him over the edge. American people don't realize people from different countries are so different. It's a cultural thing. You can say one thing to an american and they just get mad and shrug it off. You say something to an asian or anyone from a different country that doesn't understand our humor or ways then they take it differently. Asians are good for controling their temper because they hold it all in until one day they errupt.
We have to be careful how we treat people and what we say and how we say it or this tradgedy will occur again which is probably most likely.
