The Horror

The true horror of the shootings at the Virginia Tech has now been revealed. And what a horror. 33 dead. 33 lives wasted.

Guns and people; two wrongs don't make a right.

Ismail Ax. Where on Earth did he get that name from?

One of the victims was Liviu Librescu. He survived the Nazis. He survived Ceauşescu. But he couldn't survive Cho. It would appear he died a hero, keeping the murderer at bay until his students had escaped to safety. What Cho Seung-hui has done is too disgusting for words. What Librescu did makes him a hero and a martyr and long may his name be remembered.

  2. To have been through, survived so much persecution is incredible. It is deeply saddening to me that this should be how such a man leaves this life... A hero indeed.
