I am already tired of our society’s constant search to find blame.
I have read articles blaming:
1.Professors who did not follow-up enough
2.Writing faculty who did not censure enough
3.Police who followed the wrong lead
4.The university for not calling for a lock down
5.The NRA for promoting gun ownership
6.Counselors who did not force Cho into treatment
7.Universities for being too open and too free
8.Gun dealers for failing to note that Cho had received mental health treatment
9.Women who were harassed but didn’t press charges
10.Parents who did not identify Cho’s unstable behavior.
Come on! Let’s place the blame where it belongs. With the 23 year old MAN (just because he was a student does not make him a kid!) who chose to plan a massacre. He bought the guns and ammo. He lied on the background check form at the gun shop. He sought out his victims. He mailed documents to NBC. He shot each of the victims.
Now is the time for us to take a lesson from our Amish neighbors, who moved on with peace, forgiveness, and integrity.
