Virginia shooting

it is a shock to hear that the shooter of the Virginia Tech shootings is a Korean man. what troubles me the most is what may happen to other Asian students on the campus as a result of this shooting. i would certainly hate to be there right now. the Korean government even has issued an apology in the hopes of preventing racial backlash. our Korean friends in Utah said their parents called them telling them to stay home and not go out - at first, it sounds really funny and ridiculous, but like i said, i'd hate to be in Virginia right now. and then this whole thing about the shooter's violent and dark writings - these always become evidences of a violent mind after the fact, but when these writings were discussed in classes, i'm sure no one thought the guy could be a killer.

it's very very sad. and now that i am a mother, i find myself being paranoid about where my children are because who knows what can happen?
