We think of schools as safety zones, as sanctuaries, yet things like this happen, and there is no denying the horror of it. There is no denying the horror of death, regardless of where it happens or to who, and so there is no point in pointing fingers, because as long as there is still horror in people taking human lives, it is all the same--but that it would happen in a place that we would feel safe--that is what bothers us most of all, I think. I also think we are bothered by the fact that a lot of us either went to college or are college students--and the thought that this could happen to us, at our school--my school is a LOT like VT--that worries me. That worries me a lot. If it can happen at VT...it can happen anywhere. Of course, I thought that after the Kip Kinkel shooting...if it can happen in Springfield, Oregon, it can happen anywhere--and no school is safe anymore.
