Virginia Tech VT Shooting Tribute to the Dead victims

After seeing all the horrible things that happened on Monday 04.16.2007, I felt moved to create a tribute to the 33 victims of this tragedy who passed on. It's important to put a face with each name wherever possible, and I have added all the current pictures and names where possible.

Special thanks to MSNBC, CNN, the AP for the photos.

I have pictures of Maxine Turner and Leslie Sherman I could give you. Leslie lived below me in the dorm and Maxine had Tae Kwan Do with my friend.

Thanks for watching. It's nice to know this has reached the friends and family.

I'm not sure how I'd update the vid since my computer crashed since then, but yes, if you want to forward them, I can see about rebuilding it and reposting.

Very beautiful tribute. Such a tragedy. All those who have been posting horrible, malicious comments please stop. You're just being ignorant and cruel, and that completely ruins the purpose of posting the video. Thank you, Phoenixesrose, this is lovely. Good choice of music.

Thanks for watching. Re the music, from the time I first heard of the shootings, I started humming the song. It was then I knew I had to make the video. I hope it helps to heal... that was the goal.

wait until its your loved ones that are killed.

then will you give a fuck about people like that maniac ?

Funny, because a lot of people can say the same thing about Iraq with your logic because of Saddam's garbage.

[djtrumpet11]

Oh, so our own nation caused this shooting?

All that aside about health care; YOU DO NOT HAVE TO KILL 32 INNOCENT PEOPLE WHO WERE JUST GOING ABOUT THEIR EVERYDAY LIVES! There is simply no excuse for that.

I don't think this was meant to be.

a correction to the description: there were 32 victims. the 33rd would be cho's own life but i definitely don't consider him a victim.

very good video though. well done!

and karenwoods101, i, and i'm sure many others, would really appreciate if you kept your negative comments to yourself. it's fine if you feel strongly that what cho did was ok, but many of us who were impacted by this do not feel that way. there are better ways to emphasize the need of health care than congratulating a murderer.

[karenwoods101]

America!.....50 million of your own people without ANY HEALTHCARE......and you weep over a few students at VT?

You created Chou with your evil culture that lets millions of children be without proper heathcare and aid....

If Chou had proper treatment this would not have happened....ITS YOUR FAULT SO STOP CRYING!!!!

GOOD FOR YOU CHOU!!!!
