My thought when I heard was, "What was going thru these young people's minds and spirits when they saw and realized that they were about to be killed?"
Think about it, put yourself in their place. This nutcase shows up, 2 pistols. Tells you to line up against the wall. Starts shooting. What do you do? What do you think? Who do you call on? Did they try to negotiate with the killer? Did anyone even try to rush him knowing they were going to die anyway, maybe if they all did they would stop him. What God given instincts kicked in? Or did they engage in passive resistance and die like sheep as was ingrained in their heads in grade school. The whole idea of Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy of letting the tyrants win without a struggle (as is now taught in our godless public schools) has robbed our national soul of it's strength. This is the same Gandhi that told the British they should just allow Hitler to take over, not to resist. That told the Jews being taken to the slaughter to go willingly and allow themselves to be murdered. Pacifism in this way is evil.
It's the evil that causes hesitation in a time like this. Programming for sheep. Would you line up against a wall if a gunman told you to? If he shot one and aimed at you would you fight back in whatever way you could or would you just stand there and die. You are dead anyway. How do you want to go? I'm angry and grieving over this and I'm not going to heal for a few days until I've allowed my anger to be spent. I will be angry and sin not. Pacifism is UN-Goldy in this context. It's Gandhi, not Godly.
Now they have been pushed over the edge prematurely into eternity. When they got up this morning and pulled on their jeans for that 9:00 class in structures thinking about eternity wasn't on their mind.
UPDATE:
In hearing the reports of what went on, there appears to have been some resistance. For that I am grateful. We must not allow the evil among us in Media, Education, Religion and Oppressors to succeed. Only if we do nothing will they.
I'm thankful for every one who fought back. WE are not defeated until we fail to act. Fight on Hokies, Fight on.
The recriminations will be huge on all this. They will be useless. If a person wants to spread mayhem no one is going to stop them. This is not a grade school. The idea of "Lockdown" is stupid. Yes some attempt to notify would have been good. The administration fumbled the ball.
But How far does the idea of controlled "Lockdown" go. Do we lockdown Neighborhoods or Cities because someone breaks loose.
This killer is a symptom of a spiritual emptiness not driven by any eternal perspective. He had no fear of God in his Soul.
But the vacuous spiritual condition of the day preaches that Jesus is Bad, Global Warming Religion Good. All on your tax dollars. And we get soulless killers.
As for me, I am going to spend time being angry, grieving, in pain, considering the loss of potential and hardening my desire and purpose to turn this evil around. To fight against the mindsets that produce soullessness.
It wasn't always like that. Read this.
Read all the links above. You will get a perspective on what is really going on and how far we have drifted from the course we were once set upon.
