Troubled

And guns helped him take out 32 innocent people:

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) -- The gunman suspected of carrying out the Virginia Tech massacre that left 33 people dead was identified Tuesday as a English major whose creative writing was so disturbing that he was referred to the school's counseling service.

News reports also said that he may have been taking medication for depression, that he was becoming increasingly violent and erratic, and that he left a note in his dorm in which he railed against "rich kids," "debauchery" and "deceitful charlatans" on campus.

Cho Seung-Hui, a 23-year-old senior, arrived in the United States as boy from South Korea in 1992 and was raised in suburban Washington, D.C., officials said. He was living on campus in a different dorm from the one where Monday's bloodbath began.

Police and university officials offered no clues as to exactly what set him off on the deadliest shooting rampage in modern U.S. history.

"He was a loner, and we're having difficulty finding information about him," school spokesman Larry Hincker said.

Remember when drunk driving accidents were considered something we could do nothing about? Remember when kids were being killed on the road and the reaction was to say how sad and shrug your shoulders? What could you do?

MADD was started by a grieving mother who took drunk drivers to task and made them accountable.

Nobody is accountable here? How about the ease in which someone mentally disturbed can get guns off the street? How about the ease in which someone angry enough to shoot 60 times with a handgun into the bodies of innocent college students can get bullets for his guns?

Telling me that if every student was carrying a hand gun they'd have been safer is like telling me to keep safe from drunk drivers, everyone must down a quart of vodka before getting behind the wheel.

Will we be able to address this before we have the next horrible mass murder in a school, in a mall, in a public gathering?

It will take a grieving mother and a sense of furious indignation to wake this nation up.
