The Warning Signs
It is truly disturbing to hear some of the new revelations of the Virginia Tech shooter. Alot of people report that he fit the classic mold of someone who would commit mass murder. I don't think there is such a thing as a person who fits the stereotypical pattern. While some could be viewed as "more likely" to commit such a crime, you never really know what's going on in someones mind. I keep wondering what exactly did the shooter do in the two hours between incidents. What was he thinking about? Why did he go forward after killing the first two? What is most chilling to me is the video that we are all seeing where you can actually hear the gunshots being fired. Every time I see that footage I can't help but think about another life being taken, another victim being wounded. It's hard to fathom that with each shot heard, someone is being hurt...badly. With each shot, the perpetrator fell into even more hopelessness and sadness. Tragic. His parents, like those of the other victims, must be devastated. I have yet to hear back from Sunglim but I am sure that her fellow countrymen share in the grief that in this case someone of South Korean dissent will forever be associated with "the worst" in America.
