VA Tech

Sad that we are so vulnerable to someone's irrational feelings and emotions. Sad that folks lose their lives to someone who wants revenge for things in their lives.

Let's be realistic though, the big discussion over the showing of the video by Cho is very much academic. If it had not been shown, and later TMZ, or another source found it existed, it would be on YouTube in no time. And folks would scream that here was a piece of the news that did not get shared, folks would scream about the news being edited, that our freedoms say we need to make our own choices what we want to see. No, however, I don't think it needs to be shown over and over and over.

Virginia Tech, take your time to sort things out, and take time to process things out. Painful time for all, and for all students everywhere.
