I've been haunted by the news of the Virginia Tech Massacre for the past couple of days. A korean teen murderer, 30 people dead and 32 wounded, shot in random. While most people would express outrage and disgust towards Cho Seung-hui/ Ismail Ax, the perpetrator of the massacre, I can't help but feel drawn towards wondering WHY he did it. In a way, I sympathize him more than the 60+ people who were shot by him. Does that make me a sick person, I wonder...
He considered himself a martyr, and I wonder, a martyr for what cause? It's a burning question to me, but as far as I know, there's no answers from the media just yet. I can't help it. While I totally oppose what he has committed, I'm fascinated with what motivates Ismail Ax (the name on his tattoo, I'm assuming it's his alter ego) that resulted in such an epic tragedy.
I'll be watching out for any news concerning this events these coming days.
