Re: Virginia Tech Shootings
Guy was a complete loon and wrote weird fiction stories for one of his classes, as I recall. The evidence photo with the jeans interests me -- we're getting really good at scanning fabric for chemical evidence.

Re: Virginia Tech Shootings
As a young immigrant child I could understand the pain the killer caused, I was teased about my accent too and tbh it still bothers me these days and I'd get super mad when people correct my pronounciation because of the insecurity. As much as I try to assimilate my skin colour immediately puts me in the "outsider" category and getting told to go home is a daily occurrence. Looking around there's not a diverse range of role model for Asian children when they grow up in a western country, you either go down the Westernise route and end up being a banana and an "exotic babe" or you stick to your Asian roots and stick out like a sore thumb in a European-dominated society. Some of us learn to dismiss the overt racial slur, while trying to make a difference, but the overall implicit attitude's still there, and for the weaker ones, the ones who cannot cope, the ones who have narrow thinking, who cannot rise above it and be strong, this is what happens.

Re: Virginia Tech Shootings
It's the odd things that strike me when I look at pictures like these. In the picture of one of the victims getting finger-prints, you can see she has her nails done. Obviously shortly before her death, she had a manicure and little did she know ... that kind of stuff always blows me away.
