I am absolutely sickened by the appalling students who ridiculed the victims of the Virginia Tech tragedy. You think it's funny to mock the horrific death of 32 innocent students who were just trying to receive an education before being gunned down in a classroom?

What's wrong with you? All of the students who were killed were incredible people, and they did not deserve what happened to them. Many were far less privileged than you can imagine, and it's such a tragedy to see their efforts destroyed.

Keep this in mind, when you go home to your loving, cozy home for the holidays, just remember there are 32 lives that won't get to experience that, and there are 32 families who are missing someone deeply this year.
