Does VT Mass Murderer Deserve Equal Respect ?

Question

with the 32 people he gunned down in cold blood?

"REMEMBERED EQUALLY

At Virginia Tech, graduate student Chris Chabalko, 29, said adding a stone memorial for Cho was fair.

"He was a student. Thirty-three people died," said Chabalko. "There's nothing anyone can do about it now. We've got to remember them equally.""

This is unbelievable! This statement dishonors the memories of those vctims who perished and those who survived but are still suffering both physically and mentally.

Cho was not another victim; he was the evil, twisted psychopath who was 100% responsible for his actions on April 16, 2007. The only people who should have the choice in forgiving him are the families of the dead or the wounded themselves. No one else has that right, IMHO!

And is anyone else tired of Cho being referred to as "the shooter" by the media? It's almost like they want to sugar coat what he did by uisng an euphenism. He was a murderer times 32, for heavens sakes!

Thanks for the responses to my question/statement of opinion. For those of you who tell me to take my anger down a notch, my anger is not consuming me. However, if we don't start becoming angry about situations like the mass killings at VT(but directing that anger in positive directions) we become apathetic about evil and enable it to flurish.

If Cho had stopped with the first two killings and then shot himself, I might have believed that his actions were primarily a result of his mental illness. His deliberate actions between the first set of killings and his suicide showed he was cognitive of exactly what he was doing.

Answer 1

you've made up your mind. this is a statement not a question. i however do not support cho or his misdealings in what he did. taking 32 lifes and having hundreds of thousands of ppl heartbroken but i do give my respect to the dead and pray for the grieving family and i weep for all that has being hurt by cho and his misdeed. he is what you call an embarresment to humanity. he has none. but even so i believe in the time of pain and heartache there always need to be compassion and like in darks times there needs to be light. I don't think cho deserves a memorial. but 1 thing i know is i wasn't the one at Vtech. i'm not a vtech student. I didn't know any1 at vtech and since a vtech student said that it should be up for discussion. just my opionon.

Answer 2

Cho was a student at VT. One of thousands. How could anyone loose themselves to the degree that he did without anyone taking the time to see that? He was sick and marginalized just as he would have been if he had rabbies or any other physically contagious desease. And it wasn't contagious! No one cared. "We are not our brother's keeper", are we?
You are venting now, and we can understand . The Loss of these students hit everyone hard. We all feel let down and frustrated. But it doesn't solve anything.
All the people affected by this tradjedy want ,need to grieve, and perripherally, the nation ,the world does too.
Let your anger go down a notch . It helps no one, least of all yourself..

Answer 3

Bin weighted down is ineffective? you certainly have faith that. They have been given rid of his physique exceptionally right this moment. lots too right this moment. And who might Anders Behring Breivik be for crying out loud? you recognize lots howdy? Mass murderers want slightly of their very own medicine. specifically, they too ought to be mass murdered.
