The fact that he's a loner? Okay. Though, aren't the usual descriptions about these sort of guys always that "he was a loner"? So it's no real revelation. I am hoping the reason why they harped on his major was because they really didn't have any other information on him and needed SOMETHING. At UVA (where I went), English was the biggest major there. Saying someone is an English major is almost stating a given. It would make more sense to state the major only if they are NOT an English major. Smiling in photos related to tragic stories always seems a bit disturbing to me. You think talking about such a serious matter would naturally make their face NOT smile. At least be aware of what you're talking about and look appropriate! Some of the reporters on the news do this too. "Pedestrian hit!" and they are smiling. What the hell?!

With the possible exception of one photo, I see the smiling faces, but it looks more like a smile for the sake of the camera that is pointed at them, not because they are happy. If you look at each student's eyes, they tell a whole different story. The pictures on the last page loaded for me.

But a nice closer to the post (for a moment I thought you were talking to me). What I can't figure out is ... why would someone go to Virginina TECH to major in English. I mean, isn't that itself the first warning sign? :) Terrible, terrible situation there in VA. But a nice closer to the post (for a moment I thought you were talking to me).

Have you read his stories? They're circulating all over the internets: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,266593,00.html I really don't like sitting in class, trying to figure out what i'd do if a shooter came into the room.

This is just too close to home. :( I found out today that my daughter’s friend went to high school with the shooter. This is just too close to home. :(
