<p>I don't understand why this would happen. I can't comprehend this disaster or anything. They're college students, for Christ's sake -- they had the rest of their lives ahead of them.</p>
<p>If I prayed, my prayers would be with them.</p>
<p>Days like this make me wanna walk around with a hand gun at all times...</p>
<p>Just looked at the videos on Youtube and read some comments. There were a lot of racist remarks about Asians, especially South Koreans because the shooter came from South Korea. It boggles my mind how people can associate this act, an anomaly, with a race.</p>
<p>At this point we can only hope that ignorant racists who associate this with Asians don't take "revenge" on some innocent person.</p>
<p>It's too easy to dismiss this guy/killer as a "psychopath" - unfortunately, this confluence of being a social misfit/outcast, depression, build-up of anger and easy access to guns is all too common.</p>
<p>One thing that the national press seems to have missed is that this guy was predominantly raised in the US - he witnessed and probably was influenced by Columbine and the other school shootings.</p>

<p>It's disgusting how when White murderers like Whitman, Manson, McVeigh, Klebold, or Harris commit their crimes, people want to know why?</p>
<p>But when it's a non-White murderer, the only thing that matters is WHO?</p>
<p>That being said, let the racial implications come later, and for now, let's just mourn the deceased.</p>
<p>Preposterous.
You know, I didn't think event such as these happen in college too.
It will be engraved in my mind forever. Whenever I will go to my class, I will have my eyes set on the door, checking to see if anyone is there. Anyone there to savagely take my life, or life of my friends.</p>
<p>he plays counter strike (so do i)</p>
