In caz ca nu stiti, la Universitatea Virginia Tech, un tip a omorat 32 de oameni (studenti si profesori), si apoi s-a sinucis. Lumea vrea sa vada lucrurile astfel: "Un nebun, care a omorat oameni nevinovati". Poate asa e...cititi si voi si judecati.
"BLACKSBURG, Va. - Long before he boiled over, Virginia Tech gunman Cho Seung-Hui was picked on, pushed around and laughed at because of his shyness and the strange way he talked when he was a schoolboy in suburban Washington, former classmates say.", isi incepe articolul Yahoo News. M-a intrigat, mai ales prin faptul ca nu m-as fi asteptat ca americanii sa incerce sa fie echidistanti, sa vada si din perspectiva criminalului. Asa ca am decis sa citesc in continuare: "Once, in English class, the teacher had the students read aloud, and when it was Cho's turn, he just looked down in silence, Davids recalled. Finally, after the teacher threatened him with an F for participation, Cho started to read in a strange, deep voice that sounded "like he had something in his mouth," Davids said.As soon as he started reading, the whole class started laughing and pointing and saying, `Go back to China', Davids said." "
In the often-incoherent video, the 23-year-old Cho portrays himself as persecuted and rants about rich kids. "Your Mercedes wasn't enough, you brats," says Cho, who came to the U.S. at about age 8 in 1992 and whose parents work at a dry cleaners in suburban Washington. "Your golden necklaces weren't enough, you snobs. Your trust funds wasn't enough. Your vodka and cognac wasn't enough. All your debaucheries weren't enough. You had everything.".
"There were just some people who were really mean to him and they would push him down and laugh at him," Roberts said Wednesday. "He didn't speak English really well and they would really make fun of him."
"You had a hundred billion chances and ways to have avoided today," a snarling Cho says on video. "But you decided to spill my blood. You forced me into a corner and gave me only one option. The decision was yours. Now you have blood on your hands that will never wash off."
Bineinteles, nu a fost decizia celor pe care i-a omorat. Poate erau oameni buni."The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee. " In acest caz, nu a existat nici un om cu intentii bune, care sa incerce sa se imprieteneasca cu el, sa-i vada partile bune, sa-l faca sa nu mai urasca atat de mult societatea.
Nu incerc sa-l apar pe Cho...departe de mine acest gand. Insa, ganditi-va si la ceea ce spune Andrei Plesu:
"Dictatorii, chiar bestiali, pot avea, pentru observatorul corect politic, ceva atasant. Au momente de umanitate, de sentimentalism, de candoare. Si mai ales au charisma. Într-un interviu difuzat recent de televiziunea germana, o doamna profesoara care a facut apostolat în Uganda pe vremea lui Idi Amin nu uita sa semnaleze aceasta charisma. Si Fidel Castro e charismatic, daca e sa-l credem pe García Márquez. Charismatici or fi fost, în acest caz, si Hitler, sau Stalin, sau Mussolini. Trebuie sa fi avut ei ceva, vreo sensibilitate, vreo ghidusie, vreun gest, care sa le dea „chipul uman“ de care au nevoie artistii pentru a-i transforma în personaje interesante. Macar în tinerete. Macar din cînd în cînd. Macar în insondabilele adîncuri ale sufletului lor chinuit. Idi Amin pare, la prima vedere, un hipopotam sanguinar. Uneori, face lucruri reprobabile. Dar iata-l invocînd saracia tribala din care a plecat sau umilintele suferite în serviciul armatei britanice, iata-l tradat de simbriasii adversarului politic sau înselat de una din neveste. Dintr-odata, lucrurile se complica. Omul are « son secret et son mystère »". Lumea, dintr-o data, nu se mai imparte in "buni" si "rai", atat de usor. Exista o infinitate de nuante de gri.
"Or it could be you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. I'd like that. But that shit ain't the truth. The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be a shepherd." In an ideal world, we would all be shepherds.
