virginia tech shooter, dead or alive?

Question

i would personally wanted him to be alive. don't get me wrong, him gone is fine too. but i would've been happier had he was alive, and looked into the eyes of the families of all the victims he killed. a man who basically killed himself after all he's done, there really wasnt any justice there. a friend of mine also said that, should he be alive, "put him in a maximun security jail so he can be someone's wife."

i'm an asian man who've recently faced a little bit more racial slurs and remarks because of the incident at virginia tech. but on the behalf of all asian people, SORRY. please dont let one bad apple spoil the rest.

Answer 1

i honestly think that he's better being dead. i mean, why even bother being alive? someone's probably gonna get him, close families of the victims, anybody. he's also gay. first he disses Jesus then talks about Him and what He's done. what a wacked out guy!

and dude, i'm also asian, but like everyone's saying, we didn't do it. the dude himself did it. just let it go and if you face prejudice or sumthing, well, ignore it. whoever is dissing you probably just don't understand.

Answer 2

I'm also an Asian male, and I'm a Virginian. I experienced horror and grief about the shootings on multiple levels, and needless to say the tragedy hit very close to home. I visited Blacksburg last year and the people of that community are kind, generous, and just wonderful all around. It is terrible but true that "bad things happen to good people". I apologize that you have faced some backlash from this. I have not thus far experienced any ill will. Everyone I've met has been just as mortified as me.

Answer 3

Justice is not revenge. So long if a criminal is put away and is no longer able to do harm on society, that is justice. To exact punishment on him, eye for an eye, makes us no better than him. No amount of torture would not bring back those he has killed or eliminate all the suffering he has caused. Only the divine can really judge the descent of his lunacy. The action of one man is not the action of an entire race, be it white, black or Asians. You need not apologize for what the gunman has done. Those who gives you a hard time because of the VT incident are nothing but ignorant racists themselves.

Answer 4

I just want to say I'm sorry that you're having to deal with the racial slurs and remarks. I feel especially bad because here in my office we pick at the few Asian employees a lot because of this. It's all jokes and they laugh along with us, but you never really know how people are feeling inside. So I'm not going to joke on them anymore after reading your comment. Good Luck to you and I hope your situation changes soon.

Answer 5

Years in the past all the states ran a touch extensive gadget of "state hospitals" the place those judged mentally unwell might desire to be despatched for psychological wellbeing care and if mandatory locked up. Then alongside got here the ACLU and the different bleeding coronary heart liberals who have been so apprehensive some Kafkaesque subject, they have been given lots of the state hospitals closed down, asserting they have been getting used to disclaim human beings their "Constitutional rights." So now as a substitute of people like the VT and Omaha shooters being locked up and given the psychological wellbeing care they want, they're instructed to take some pills, see their medical professional two times a month and each little thing would be in simple terms wonderful. As we are able to work out, that would not artwork. that's not the weapons that are the project, that's the fact the Liberals set it up that we've been given "unfastened cannons" working around our streets in simple terms primed to bypass off.

Answer 6

I think he should have been left alive, but for a very different reason. He was obviously a very mentally ill person. I believe he was so mentally ill he can not be held responsible for his actions. That in no way justifies what he did, and I am no way minimizing the damage he did to the victims, their friends and families. But the mind of mental ill people does not work like yours and mine. Making him look in the eyes of the families or locking him in a maximum security jail would not do anything to him. He would still have his paranoid violent delusional thoughts.
He should have been kept alive in order to to study him. Maybe that would lead us to be able to detect people like him before they act. That way we can give them the proper treatment and keep them away from guns. If not for the positive contribution to society, he belongs dead.

Answer 7

he killed himself so it's not like there is really a choices. Don't be sorry, it has nothing to do with you. Do you think us Australian's feel guilty for Martin Bryant (the worlds worst mass murderer's) actions? We couldn't have stopped it or changed anything, and neither could you. THere wasn't any justice in his death, but really how could you get justice, notihng would ever bring those students back, people are just going to have to move on and try their best to ensure that it doesn't happen again.

Answer 8

Do not apologize for something you had absolutely nothing to do with! This had nothing to do with Asians and everything to do with a deranged person. Anyone who would make a slur against you for that, or any reason, is an ignorant ***. Anyway, I would like him to be alive to find answers to WHY?? After all the shrinks got done with him, then leathal injection.

Answer 9

Society is well-educated enough to not stereotype Asians just because of one incident.

In the US, there are many murders committed by Caucasians on a daily basis...

Even he is was alive, he wouldn't care about the families of the victims because he was a major psycho.

Answer 10

I'm glad he's dead. He will meet his maker now and his fate is sealed now. If he was alive. He would probably be so insane like the other mass murderers in prison. They have no remorse for life. Look at Charles Manson. He should have died years ago.
