The fear among “Asian” students at VT rises-------very afraid to be identified same as that of “Asian shooter”. It is no less than the anger rising among the non-Asian students.
Monday afternoon, the rumor ”a Chinese student from Shanghai did it” slipped into campus, widespread fast by sunset.
In face of a possible immediate retaliation from angry crowd, as a parent--------with a full and genuine feelings towards the victims’ parents, should I worry about the safety of my kid?
If he knew the shooter’s identity early on, should he have obligation to make it known in order to alley the unnecessary rumors, which could result in violence against innocent foreign students at VT.
These are the Fact:
The Korean Times confirmed that the shooter’s parents were contacted Monday night. So, the shooter identity was likely already known by the Monday afternoon.(See the Korean Times: http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/)
