[NBC's airing of the videotaped rants he mailed at 9:05 a.m. Monday between his rampages at a dorm and a classroom building didn't help many who are trying to cope with the loss of colleagues and friends on campus.
"There's so much attention paid to the killer," said Shontea Sowards.
"We're angry about it. It's obvious that he was disturbed. I don't think we need to hear it over and over again. He's not even close to what's important about what happened," said Sowards, a 21-year-old from Ashland, Ky.]
The shootings at Virginia Tech will go down in history as a horrible, tragic event. People throughout the world mourn for the families and souls of all the victims; some will even mourn for the family and soul of Cho.
It is understandable people are experiencing anger over the videotape and the attention being directed at Cho. Many lives have passed on as a result of his actions, and regardless of the emotions pouring out to those innocent victims--they cannot return.
In disagreement with Sowards, I contend that it is important to understand Cho--to understand his life, his anger; to understand what caused him to lash out so violently. This is important as it may lead to better efforts to identify troubled children and adults in the future; and get them the appropriate treatment; perhaps effectively avoiding other violent events, protecting lives.
Every life is important--even the lives of those our society deems as dangerous. Perhaps it is time for us to recognize our responsibility to help ALL people; particularly those who need it the most and are unable to ask for fear of ridicule.
