Let's see who takes the high road and who takes the low road.

Even though the family itself did not perpetuate the crime, they do seek and need the victim's forgiveness.

I think some have already or will go down that road. Forgiveness is not at ALL an easy act. I know how hard it is to forgive those who have hurt in such deep and horrible ways. But I also know that once you do, you can begin to move on in your life and regain some of yourself.
By holding on to hatred we only propogate violence and hatred in the whole world.
I certainly don't see why the gunman's family needs forgiveness, though. They didn't do this. They need compassion but forgiveness is only necessary where there is responsibility.

It is highly inappropriate for you to make the comment you made.
The families of the victim has the most difficult task at hand. It is none of your business or anyone else's what they decide to do - forgive or not forgive. It is not a spectator sports and their decision will not be called the "high road" and the "low road."
Leave them alone and respect those who are affected - which includes the family of the gunman.

They should forgive. He was a troubled person early in life. His family should have gotten him professional help in his younger years when he was under 18 and they could legally make him undergo therapy, mental health centers, medicine, etc. However, his parents chose not to do this. (I am assuming here.) The writings of this young man was his soul crying out for help and love - yet his family did nothing. I pray for everyone in this tragic situation. Hopefully everyone will pray for this man as well as his victims. And hopefully those at Virginia Tech will be as noble as the Amish, but it is so hard to be forgiving when losing a loved one to violence.

Gotta say, I grew up around alot of Amish and Mennonite people and they come from a simpler time(and maybe that's not so bad!!!). But, If that was my son, or my daughter this fool killed, I would be on the hunt! I guess that's why this clowns family is in FBI protective custody right now! No, my daughter dies that way--I am coming for you and yours. That's the way I feel!!!

Some will & some won't. As for those who don't, I don't consider that to necessarilly be the low road. How forgiving would you be if your loved 1's were murdered?

I don't think not forgiving the killer would be taking the "low road" for families who lost their children.

First of all, Cho's family had nothing to do with their lunatic son. Second, may Cho rot in Hell! Let's just put this thing to bed and let the dead rest in peace, OK???

I hope so for their own sakes. It will facilitate the healing process.
