We need to see the photos and the tape. We need to see the writings. We need to see what mad the mad man who he was. Don’t hold back!
For the past few days blogs, news services and people have been saying that the tape from the Virginia Tech Shooter Cho Seung-Hui should not have been released and shown by NBC. I feel just the opposite. I understand the thoughts of the families of the victims and other students of the university but I feel that the world has a right to see and know.
Truly, as much information as we can get – no one can ever figure out why he did what he did. However, that video and his writings give some sort of insight so that some type of answer can be provided.
Instead of being upset with news services about distribution of the tape NBC needs to be applauded for ensuring that the public has as much information as possible so that we can hopefully reach out and prevent something like this from happening in the future.
Even deeper, think about this after killing two people, Seung-Hui was able to cross a busy intersection and send an air mail package before going on to kill thirty more people. Where was security? Where were the police? How did he kill two people and just calmly walk over to the Post Office? Those authorities are the ones who need to be questioned. Even after Nikki Giovanni, other professors and mental health professionals documented the instability of Cho, no one made a move to remove him or dig deeper.
Of course this was just an accident and a tragedy. We all want answers and want to find a way to justify what was done. But at its essence this was unjustifiable. We can’t find a way to explain his rational or thoughts. We can only believe that is his infinite wisdom, God had allowed those who died to serve a purpose. From listening to the stories of each of the victims to the wake up call that came from the rampage – weather we understand it or not this event had a purpose.
Instead of beating on the media, let’s pray and remember the victims of this awful tragedy.
