Title: Please keep Northern Illinois University in you thoughts or prayers

Today, a former student barged into a classroom, shot four students, the instructor, and himself.

I know that I shouldn't be the one to talk but these people need to get lives if they plan these things. Now I know that he might have been different but there is substantial evidence that the Columbine and Virginia Tech shootings have one thing in common...the killers both played video games almost constantly...I also know I have no right to talk but the Columbine killers played Doom and the Virginia Tech killer played Counterstrike.

I have no clue on why this man shot these people but just pray for them.

Premeditated murderers have a warped sense of value.
Thusly the time wasted entertaining certain thoughts.
To them this was equally if not more important than what other's view as a normal life.
Though everyone having the potential to do such things the profile of a killer can't be clearly defined to someone without a life.

Their video game habits only reflect on their life style.
Ignore the video games as it was a issue only brought up
by people with their own agenda that would use it to help their own cause.
There are compulsive people all over the world. The fact that they played FPSs isn't so
valuable once you bring into the picture how commonly these games are played and by which people.
