The Pictures Tell The Story

There is the saying, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Yet, sometimes there are simply no words to speak. Instead, the pictures tell the story themselves.

Virginia Tech Massacre: A Shared Experience

We now know that a 23-year old senior in the English Department of Virginia Tech is the person responsible for the shooting massacre that left thirty three people dead and dozens more injuried.

The big question now…what was the motive? It is a question that we may never get answered.

Less than twenty four hours after the shooting, the Raleigh-Durham Hokie Club is calling today a “Day of Rememberance.” The website is asking for people to wear the Virginia Tech colors of maroon and orange as a way to remember the lives lost. You can show your support by wearing a ribbon or a shirt that depicts the VT colors.

Yesterday, I blogged about how all the Media General stations are working together, as one entity. They have set up a website dedicated to the Tragedy in Blackburg. I think you’ll find it very informative. I welcome your comments about the site.

These events, as tragic as they are, always seem be a grounding point in many peoples lives. It is a shared experience that we will always have with us.
