Yesterday should have been just another Monday where presidential candidates continue to with their campaigns. But it wasn't. The Virginia Tech Massacre led to the cancellation of fund-raisers and various events. Barack Obama, Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney were among those who canceled their events. Some candidates helped to organize memorials as well as speaking about necessary gun-control options. Many others have also spoke out about the tragic events.
It makes me think... what has been done since Columbine to prevents massacres like this from happening. What do we need to do in order to educate people so that we do not have to face such devastating events every year.
After such events, there are typically many cases of copy-cats. Just hours after the massacre, numerous confused students ran away with armed with guns. This has scared so many schools and has also resulted in many schools remaining closed due to a fear of other copy-cat killers.
