How to Memorialize the Va Tech Victims?

This is as moving a monument as I have visited in this country.

Beautifully conceived.

 

SC --
Oklahoma City?

 

yeah

fuck

 

I thought so. But the only photos I've ever seen were of the chairs on the lawn. The whole thing is very striking.

 

Best newspaper design for the massacre was the Virginia Pillot. Excellence beyond cmpare as far as I'm concerned.

 

I agree it's beautiful, and it's one of my favorite places in my hometown, but I have a problem with the design concept.

 

As I observed the first day, the best way to memorialize the dead is to make the campus the safest on earth – including an abandonment of the absurd "gun-free zone" line of thinking that assured that only the crazed killer dude had a gun.

Then, invite every other college to send folks there to learn how it's done.

 

Didn't read about him. Apparently I missed a story or three somewhere.

 

I'm pretty fond of this A1 from Wednesday:



As for ways to memorialize the victims: Whatever Hokie teams haven't retired the number 32 do so now.

 

Nicely done tribute by the Pilot there. Simple and classy.

 

I couldn't pull it up but I'm glad you followed up on it Mystry Meat. That was definitely an award winning page.

 

Not really the best shot, but kids at UM created a t-shirt for their vigil yesterday.....

"VT we are all standing with U"... I believe.
