Virginia Tech

First of all, I have slprofile! Go check it out and add me :)
My SLPROFILE

Okay. So as some of you know that last week there was a tragedy where 33 people died during the Virginia Tech massacre. And I have an obsession with school shooting RL was deeply shocked by it because that massacre happened just 4 days before the anniversary of the Columbine High School shooting (april 20th). Of course, what shocked me the most is the total death count exceeded the Columbine massacre. :(

So I've heard about the memorial site on SL. So I decided to get on and searched for 'Virginia Tech' in places.

This is the first memorial site I visited. I sat there for a while to pay my tribute.

The stone said 'in memory of those lost at Virginia Tech 16 April 2007'.

This is from the 2nd site I visited. The marble stone has all the names of the victims on it. I put a red rose (yup, that's my red rose) as my tribute.

Now this memorial was built by a professor at VTech. You can see pictures of all the victims on the wall. It made me so sad to see those cheerful pictures of the victims who got their life robbed from them by some maniac :(

Gifts, flowers, bears were all on the ground.. it actually looks pretty to me. I was acually holding a candle there but you can't see it :P

It's the same stone from the first memorial site I visited.

There was another stone? box? Erm it has a sad but sweet poem on it.. Let me write it out if you can't read it. It says:

"How sad it is that I shall no longer feel your touch.
No longer will I feel the warmth of your hugs.
You are my reminder that life should never be taken for granted.
You are my reminder that above all else life should be cherished.
Your love will always be eternal.
For until I depart, I will always remember.
April 2007"

Awww… :(

Then I took a picture of the view of the whole memorial site.

This is actually a statue and you can't see but it actually has 32 (or 33?) bloody tears… each bloody tear represents each victims.

The picture is dark but it actually looks quite pretty when you can see the light from the candles. And you can also see me holding a candle now!

vatech11.jpg

An angel statue I think… so I paid another tribute and gave it my moment of silence.

vatech12.jpg

And gave another moment of silence in front of the stone that has the list of the names of the victims before I moved to another memorial site.

vatech13.jpg

Then I went to this other memorial site (you can be tp'd from the memorial site above).. it's actually just another memorial like the one above.. and if I'm not mistaken the spot was give by Linden people themselves? It'll be up until May I think. I dropped my red rose there to pay another tribute.

Nothing much there except the wall has pictures of the victims again. Actually you can buy a Tshirt at that time and at the same time donate but I didn't have any linden to start with :(

SLURL 

My thought goes out to the family of the victims.

Now, on something totally random……..
