Mindless... Senseless... Violent... Horrible...
just a few words which come to mind with reference to the shooting spree at Virginia Tech on Monday...
Much criticism has been leveled at the university and others because security wasn't tight enough or people weren't vigilent enough or the campus wasn't 'locked down' immediately...
Most of this criticism is completely unfounded and bogus. You can't lock down 26,000 acres! And how do you tighten security?
At the risk of sounding fatalistic, here is the simple truth: Evil exists. Evil people will do evil things. Just as God uses people to His Glory and purpose, Satan also infects people and uses them to do his bidding.
And, sadly, no amount of security will change or prevent that.
I know this is no consolation to the families and friends whose loved ones were stolen from them. But it does no good to attempt to assess blame on anyone but the Evil One.
May God grant a special measure of blessing to all those who were affected by this evil act.
