Btw, I just heard that one of the professors that was murdered there was a Holocaust survivor. Can you imagine surviving that to get gunned down by some lunatic?
This guy was a true hero!
I figure he was a little bit younger than the kids whom he saved when he experienced the horrors of the Holocaust. I can't even begin to imagine the effect of having survived that had on his outlook towards life, but he went out in a glorious manner (sacrificing his own life so that those placed in his care could live).
As I continue to watch the news coverage of this story I'm becoming more and more upset after seeing the "personal" stories of the victims. This whole thing defines tragedy.
They interviewed some students yesterday, and one student (don't know if he was in the room with this Professor or not)said that the teacher was holding the door shut to keep the shooter out,, and let the kids escape through the window, and as a result got shot. Man, I'd like to think I'd be so heroic. The student said this guy truly cared about his students. Boy, the ultimate sacrifice hu?
Mig, as far as the news coverage, yea this guy is getting what he wanted, but I can understad to a degree "our" need to know. I too, am beginning to think that these people, whether or not they get their ideas from news, music, movies or whatever, that if they are "sick" enough they will find a way.
