Dissecting A Senseless, Violent Mass Essay

And when Cho's video was played on television, it spread like fire on the Internet, that every posts, some already redundant would contain comments and consternation. Few hours past, days and weeks, and many people all over the world may already have caught up the latest news that kept every body talking. On television, different public opinion discussions tackled the Virginia Tech massacre. On newspaper, on radio, the track of discussion is about the violent campus killing. And even on video sharing sites, comment boxes would almost retire from kilometric posts and multiple entries from different talking fingers who would like to give their cent's worth of reaction and opinion. Everybody wanted to change the world.

Moreover, people immediately have had different versions of the kind of person Cho was.

For classmates and in the school, Cho was clearly a crazy man. To most of the people worldwide, he is the Cho of South Korea, an Asian. Like any second class citizens in the United States, Cho is part of a minority race, the way the headlines have boomed it. Third and only the least that he is identified was Cho as a person who is mentally deranged. Pronto, he turned out to be a star. Famous!

This tragedy could have been prevented if not totally avoided if authorities have responded immediately, others claimed. Reflecting on his video, it sent a very chilling message to everyone, very ancient in fact: WHY? Why did it come this far? Can this senseless violence prevented and stopped? And the bleak truth is that, everyone could have stopped this senseless killing.
