    My sister is 27, and hearing about this makes me extremely grateful for everything I have in my life, and everyone that surrounds me. No matter how much anyone may of may not like anyone, I can't believe that anyone could be so... heartless as to kill others.

    Vicki was my cousin, we miss her, nothing seems real to me, i keep telling everyone "It is a never ending nightmare" At the Vigil today, her sister read and there was no holding back emotions. Vicki was the smartest of the family. We all wore green in memory for here (green was her favorite color). My heart also goes out to other victim's families. I know what they feel.
    The loving cousin,

    One thing I NEVER understood is how easy it is to walk into public schools.When i was in private schools,all doors were locked and if you wanted to get in you had to press a buzzer on the front door,they would look at you first,and then buzz you in.When i went to public school,you could just walk in the front door or one of the back doors.It's so stupid.

    In a situation like this, even the most unlikely people can be a hero. Defending her students, even if it meant losing her life... a brave move, and one that probably saved her entire class...
    May she rest in piece.

    My thoughts and prayers are with those mourning the deceased, the injured and their loved ones, friends, and relatives. As sad and tragic as this is, I must say Ms. Vicki Soto is a heroine for protecting her students, making the ultimate sacrifice. Ms. Soto's efforts are right up there with the late Dr. Liviu Librescu, a Holocaust survivor and professor at Virginia Tech, who sacrificed his life to protect his students from the gunman during the April 16, 2007 mass shootings.

    He did show mercy to her. He allowed her act of bravery to save those children. He allowed her to be the right person at the right place at the right time. He allowed her last act on this earth to be one that many people will never forget.
    He allowed her death to have meaning, he allowed her avoid being in a coma for years needing constant care. He allowed her to go to heaven. In the Bible, John 15:13, Jesus said, "Greater love has no one than this: That he lay down his life for his friends."

    If you are referring to my post then you got it backwards. It is the USA that I was referring to as having higher crime because of lack of education. Maybe English is your second language and you misunderstood me?

  • @MaestroPerfect
    @MaestroPerfect 11 лет назад

    The answer isn't just banning guns, it's actively making sure that people who shouldn't have them DON'T. Going to people's houses, one by one, and searching. Yes, it would take a long time, and yes, it is a violation of privacy. But honestly, I would rather allow a policeman into my house to search for a day than have something like this happen ever again, which ruins so many people's lives.
