All of these videos and quotes from the gunman at Virginia Tech are completely horrible. How much news coverage has been given to the innocent victims that lost their lives? How about we concentrate on the good, upstanding people who were lost that day, instead of focusing so darn much on a crazy man.
Read this article- every word. Yes, it's long, but how much time have you spent learning about Cho this past week, without even meaning to? Look at the pictures. Take 5 minutes and purposely get to know a little about the families who lost their loved ones.
This is an excerpt about Henry Lee, one of the students:
"Friends continued to post hundreds of messages and remembrances on Lee’s Facebook.com page since he was shot to death, knowing he would never get to view them.
“Remember how you used to freak out when I hugged you all the time?” one read. “I’m not so sorry for that anymore.” "
In an interview I saw with a man from a nearby funeral home who helped recover the bodies, he said that what got to him the most was not seeing all of the bodies, but hearing all of their cell phones ringing... over and over again. Imagine- all these parents, wives, friends trying to get in touch with their loved one... and the phone just keeps ringing.
Please, let's get Cho off the TV and bring some dignity to the departed.
