Northern Illinois Shooting

It's still short of a year since the Virginia Tech massacre and now, US is terrified with another on campus shooting, this time, at Northern Illinois University. Six people (including the gunman) were killed. Read more here.

It seems that it's becoming a trend nowadays that depressed psycho's shoot and kill innocent people (and shoot themselves latter) after the Cho incident. I remember another shooting at a mall sometime last year.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it", as the saying goes for Spanish born American author, George Santayana. It's about time we ask ourselves what's causing all these problems. Is there something wrong with the educational system here in the US? Should the fault be upon the families of the shooters? Is the security system in universities too loose? Or is it simply time for Americans to go back to religion? It's your pick. But one thing for sure, these on campus shooting has got to stop. Pretty soon, people won't be sending their children to overseas universities anymore if it continues.

betul2..nanti parents tak lepaskan anak derang belajar jauh2....kesian laaa kan...and its true...holding on to something (i.e religion) is the best solution...
Who have believed and whose hearts have rest in the remembrance of Allah. Verily in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest! (13:28)

Itu la pasal.. derang ni want to make a scene besar2 kot dulu before mati.. so the psycho pon pergi bunuh orang..

And true, maybe gun law kene check balek jugak.. seems that it's too easy for somebody to own a gun here in america.
