Why? Because he was mentally unstable.
Why? Because America's gun laws are too lax?
Why? Because violence is now a way of life, a heroic, praised method of dealing with your problems.
Why? Only G-d knows, and maybe not even G-d.
Where can we feel safe? At home of course. But yesterday's "massacre," as CNN has now labeled it, proves that even there you aren't safe. Shot in their dorm rooms, their home away from home. Shot in their classrooms, the place that is supposed to open you up to the world, to culture, to history, to knowledge.
And whose story touches me the most? (I apologize to all the others for singling this man out) Liviu Librescu. The cruel irony, the cruel coincidence of his death. A Holocaust survivor, murdered years later on Holocaust Remembrance Day so far away from the place of the atrocities he witnessed as a child. In my eyes, a true hero.
Holocaust Survivor Saved Students' Lives
May his memory be a blessing.
