Crude medical practices led to a high casualty rate for mother and child alike. In many cases, new mothers would be forced to rely on lying-in-maids to handle maternal responsibilities, while they recovered from the exhausting and traumatic experience of child birth. Lying-in-maids were generally post-menopausal widows, who were unable to mother children themselves. If new- born children were to become sick or die, grieving mothers, in some cases already afflicted with post partum depression, would look for some sort of explanation for why their child did not survive infancy. In some cases, the dazed and depressed mother would come to a genius conclusion: the lying-in-maid was a witch. Accusations were launched against close family friends and next door neighbors ... even the child's grandmother could find herself burned at the stake if she did not make sure that baby survived until the mother could fulfill her maternal role. These infertile women could not use their feminine power to care for the infant, and instead chose to use sorcery to bring about harm. Apparently all one needs is a scapegoat to survive the grieving process. America, however, is no different than these mourning mothers. Any major tragedy is immediately followed with a blame game of epic proportions. Calls for inquiries, hearings, firings and resignations are launched before words of condolence are even expressed. When we as a culture engage in this sort of "dialogue," we take the event away from those who are affected by it, and try to center it around our own vanity. It is perhaps the most despicable thing about our culture; it's even more revolting than a cult following of Paris Hilton. But still, everyone is chiming in on Virginia Tech. The student activists are complaining that, "if it wasn't for Charlton Heston or the 'gun nuts,' this would have never happened." Can't the explanation for such an event simply be an evil person doing an evil thing? Is it really Charlton Heston's fault that some kid went crazy? Campus police representatives say that "there was no indication of any possible motive." Evil sounds like a pretty fair assessment of the situation. Nothing but pure evil could truly describe what Cho Seung-Hui did just four days before the eighth anniversary of the Columbine High School massacre. Psychotherapists have called the murderer's suicide note "disturbing." "Evil"â€ˆhowever, seems a more appropriate word. This is, after all, the same note that the 23-year-old South Korean before killing two people. This is the same note that he wrote before before reloading and taking away 30 more bright futures. In the note, he used the clichÃ© suicide phrase, "you caused me to do this," as if writing it down on paper would make it true. But no one caused him to do this; only pure evil can drive someone to do something so remarkably despicable and cowardly. Various Virginia Tech students and their parents are calling for resignations and firings because their children could have been killed due to the inadequate response to the first vicious killing. These same people have not given a second thought to the actual victims or their families that did lose a child. That idiot who lives in your hall is probably still telling that story about how "he almost went to Virginia Tech." Whoa, that's spooky you herb, some people actually go there; in fact, some people just got murdered there. You might have even seen it on the news. These self-centered malcontents try to do everything they can to make the tragedy about them. The presidential candidates have begun explaining their positions concerning gun control and second amendment rights. At a time like this, it is disgusting to hear Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton (in her new Southern accent) discuss their stance toward gun control, just as it is repulsive to hear John McCain pander to the National Rifle Association. They are no better than Michael Moore, who is now drooling over the prospect of a sequel to Bowling for Columbine. These brats and blamers only serve to shift the attention away from the tragedy that befell 32 students and professors, and instead make this horrifying event an impersonal political debate or personal tale. We have plenty of time to do that later. For now, let's put down those petitions advocating enhanced gun control or handgun-friendly campus buildings. Why don't we raise money for the families of that coward's tragic victims instead? Rather than telling the story about a kid you know who went to Virginia Tech, why don't you sit down and think about that anonymous Hokie who was robbed of his future. For now though, let's think about the victims, their families and those that protect us. Let's think about Ryan Clark, one of the first two victims; he died trying to calm that murderous coward down. Let's think about the heroism of Prof. Liviu Librescu, who blocked his classroom door with his own body to give his students time to escape before suffering a fatal gunshot wound. Be thankful that we, too, have professionals willing to protect our university and its students. Thank your R.A.; thank a CUPD officer; thank Robert Davis and Antwan Sampson for making sure you have a Cornell I.D. before entering the library. And thank God for giving us men and women that are here to make sure we never suffer a tragedy of this magnitude. But most of all, think about the terror that all these victims must have experienced before meeting an untimely end. Now tell me; do your anecdotes and agendas seem that important now? Billy McMorris is a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences. He can be contacted at wjm27@cornell.edu. John Manetta Once Told Me appears alternateâ€ˆWednesdays. Comments: 'only pure evil'? Hi Billy, I agree with you that it is appalling that the blame game started even before all victims are identified. It is quite ridiculous to start blaming gun control laws, finger pointing the president and police, and forming inquiry panels to find every little fault. But I strongly disagree with you when you say Cho's motivation was 'only pure evil'. In a way, Cho was a victim himself - a victim because no one tried to help him. He was very lonely, angry, and troubled. There were many warning signs before the massacre happened. He didn't just wake up one day and snapped; he didn't get up early 5:30am in the morning because he suddenly wanted to kill. No one is born evil; no one truly wants to hurt another. If something like this happens, we must examine the circumstances that make people so resentful that they feel they have no recourse but to commit suicides and homicides. So I will make blame. I blame the university for not heeding the long warning signs. I blame the university counseling for not trying to help him. Cho voluntarily went to a mental hospital and was released; he was taking prescription drugs. Are the psychologists so incompetent that they couldn't see he was depressed enough to be suicidal? Did no one at the hospital try to reach out to him, connect with him, and get his trust enough to reveal what is troubling him? There is reason to believe he may have been sexually molested. When police went to search for his parents, the house was deserted. If it were the case that Cho was abused at home or at one point assaulted, then it is not his fault he came to saw the world as not a happy place. No one tried to show him otherwise; no one. I don't blame the students for not trying to be friends with him. But I am shocked at the behavior of some of the professors especially Nikki who saw him as a troublesome student that should be kicked out of her class. I commend Professor Roy for having to courage to help Cho and giving him one-on-one workshops. It is the responsibility of professors to not only teach students but also help them and try to make them individuals who will make society thrive. It is therefore only appropriate to not only give condolences but also try to find reasons that could have led to this nightmare so that this could have been prevented. Yes, blaming the president and police for two hour delay in e-mail message and asking for tighter (or looser) gun control laws is ludicrous because they amount to nothing but finding scapegoats and furthering political agendas. But blaming the university counseling, callous people who drove Cho to his isolation and depression, and people for not heeding the long warning signs is not only appropriate but wise so that in future we can help people like Cho. -May Zaw Senior in College of Arts and Sciences President of Origami Club By May Zaw (not verified) at April 18, 2007 - 4:46pm ---- I agree with you. It really bothers me how many people's knee-jerk response to such a tragic event is to find a scapegoat, without even taking time to mourn for the victims and their loved ones. It does seem strange that he was allowed to stay at VTech despite all the warning signs. Even though hindsight gives you 20-20 vision, the suicidal tendencies coupled with the plays he wrote for writing class ought to have set some alarm bells ringing. But there is no use pointing fingers at anyone - none of it will ever change the fact that over 30 people died on Monday. My prayers are with Virginia Tech. By Nikhil Chandra (not verified) at April 18, 2007 - 11:55pm ---- To the Editor Almost as distressing as the horrific event at Virginia Tech is the incessant focus of the media and public on understanding the "rationale"behind the killings. That focus is misplaced. As a psychiatrist it is obvious to me and many of my colleagues that what is really at work here are the manifestations of an underlying mental disorder. From all the descriptions Mr. Seung-Hui demonstrated an almost textbook example of paranoid schizophrenia. He was motivated to kill because of his delusional thinking. He had grandiose delusions- irrationally saw himself as a martyr like Christ. He was seen giggling to himself and avoiding eye contact on the campus (he was responding to voices in his head, i.e., auditory hallucinations). He had systematized delusions about his fellow classmates- they hated him and were out to harm him (paranoid delusions). He was guarded and suspicious- he kept to himself and had no attachments to others (further support for his paranoia). He had nihilistic delusions- false negativistic views of the world and fellow students. This rage and paranoia may lead to violent behavior that is just as likely to be directed at others as it is to be turned on the self. That is why many psychotic killers turn the guns on themselves following a mass shooting spree. There is no mystery here. As much as we can hope that pathology like schizophrenia can be spotted before it can harm the individual or other that is not always feasible. The overarching tragedy is that unlike other societies for the sake of "protecting our freedoms" mentally ill individuals have easy access to weapons that permit them to act out their delusions on a massive scale. Sincerely, Joyce E. Myers, MD Prison Staff Psychiatrist By Joyce Myers (not verified) at April 19, 2007 - 2:25pm ---- Hmmm... "Now tell me; do your anecdotes and agendas seem that important now?" It's ironic how your arrogant, didactic, self-important writing trivializes your subject matter. If anyone wonders why our school's ranking isn't as high as it should be, take a look at Billy McMorris's columns to see why. By AlbertN (not verified) at April 19, 2007 - 2:33pm ---- Why blame Charlton Heston? Yes, why blame Charlton Heston for the Virginia tragedy? One of the most respectable Americans in todays America. He did his best for the country. Serving the nation in World War II. Giving an exemple as a father and grand father. As a professional, always showing that the good should prevail on our lives. Blame him because he defends the Second Amendment? Doesn't he has the right to? Or any responsable citizen? Gun problem, is not on good people, but on bad people. This is the real problem, bad people. This people yes should never be able to get a gun. Unfortunately, it is happening all over the world. It is not only an American problem, it is a world problem.

"what? they think an asian man did it? that's impossible. asians don't do stuff like that. but just in case, i hope it's not a korean person." s#@t. it is a korean person. why do the news keep insisting he's a foreigner?!? there's going to be backlash. do i send my kids to school today?</blockquote> as i shared in the message i taught at my church the sunday after the shootings, amidst many things, the incident exposed my self-centeredness. while i do still believe the concerns i raised are legitimate and important conversations, it's so easy to park your thoughts on the SELF. the truth is i am a selfish, self-centered, wicked, and depraved man. thank God for his mercy and grace. only through Him can i see hints of the beauty i was intended to embody. anyway, i ran across this article from christianity today entitled, "nightmare of nightmares: virginia tech's korean christians wrestle with the aftermath of a massacre," and was particularly intrigued by the following quote: <blockquote>In the meantime, Korean Americans continue to grapple with the massacre. Korean Baptist's Chung quotes Alexander Solzhenitsyn, who wrote, "The line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being." Kang said the fundamental issue is the problem of evil. "We ask, 'Why does God allow these things to happen?'" he said, "rather than seeing this as the natural consequences of sinful society that Christ came to redeem. "Western Christians struggle to make meaning of what happens in America because we're insulated. It's a dying and degenerate world. We're [experiencing] the consequences of sin." <a target="_blank" href="http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2007/june/16.52.html">[read full article]</a></blockquote> april 16, 2007...it's been nearly two months. how are you processing the events of virginia tech? any thoughts on the article or the quote above?

It has been a very scary and hectic past couple of hours to say the least. We were released at noon, but it was not an assisted evacuation as we were hearing that it would be. I was a little apprehensive that we were not assisted in leaving the campus, and I was constantly looking over my shoulder. I have never seen so many police officers in my life. There were police cars, ambulances, SWAT vehicles and other emergency vehicles lining every street possible that I could see. There were students running to their cars and it seemed every person was on their cell phone trying to call friends and family. It is definitely a scary time on campus. I am usually not one to worry about these things, but this has surpassed anything that the mind can even fathom. This is probably the most scared I have ever been in my life. The police made things seem somewhat safe, but I'm not sure all the police in the world could have made things seem perfectly safe. -- Original Source: <a href=http://www.biglicku.com/blu/Stories/StoryDisplayPage.aspx?Title=Released%20from%20lockdown&ID=186>Big Lick U - April 16, 2007</a> Language A language of the resource eng Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Chris Winston <Chris.Winston@biglicku.com> Title A name given to the resource Released from lockdown big lick u student response vt campus https://www.april16.vtlibraries.net/files/original/14 The 32 balloons re~0007_9507b323ad.jpg null Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Tech during Sunday sermons By: Allison Nichols, Assistant State & National Editor Posted: 4/23/07 The Rev. Ruth Stevens, whose son graduated from Virginia Tech in 2004, was one of few ministers of Franklin Street churches to address in a sermon Sunday the deadliest shooting in U.S. history. "The most vulnerable were not the 32 students who were shot," she said at University United Methodist Church, linking the week's events to Christian teachings. "The most vulnerable was the one who did the shooting." Stevens said some of her parishioners have felt out of step with society at large because they feel empathy for Seung-Hui Cho, the Va. Tech senior who shot 32 others before killing himself, in addition to their compassion for his victims. She and other area religious leaders said no one has come to them in the past week for help coping with the tragedy "I think the University really counsels itself," said Rabbi Ben Packer of the Jewish Experience Movement of the South, a UNC student organization. "It's amazing how the University community has come together to deal with it communally, whether it's religious or in other ways," he said, adding that the Va. Tech shootings were a main topic of conversation at Shabbat meals on the Sabbath. Packer said the reactions of students with whom he's spoken about the tragedy were neither uniquely religious nor uniquely Jewish. "Everybody's hurting from it," he said. "Everyone kind of feels the same pain." The Rev. Bob Dunham of University Presbyterian Church said that for people within any faith tradition, there is an element of basic personal compassion for the pain of others, as well as a responsibility to intervene whenever possible. He said the most important thing people can do now is to listen to those most affected by the deaths at Va. Tech. "It's too early to talk about forgiveness," he said. Rabbi John Friedman of the Judea Reform Congregation in Durham said he's talked to his congregation about gun control laws and mental health care in America in the aftermath of Va. Tech. "Part of the spiritual reaction that is normal in human beings is to look for ways to address the underlying causes or lack of prevention," he said. "It helps us spiritually to feel more secure." Agape Campus Ministry did not address the shootings Sunday in its Christian service in the Student Union, nor have students approached the organization's ministers for help dealing with the week's events. "The University as a community has done such a good job of coping together," Packer said by way of explanation. "It's really been very helpful with the candlelight vigil, with all the different Facebook groups." -- Original Source:<a href=http://media.www.dailytarheel.com/media/storage/paper885/news/2007/04/23/StateNational/Religious.Leaders.Defer.In.Healing-2873741.shtml>The Daily Tar Heel - April 23, 2007</a> Language A language of the resource eng Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Kevin Schwartz <kschwartz@unc.edu> Title A name given to the resource Religious leaders defer in healing coping religious response unc https://www.april16.vtlibraries.net/files/original/100_0336_6ff149f8a3.JPG null Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Every year there are one or two tragedies of monumental proportion that unite people and draw to mind that there is more to life than a rivalry, a goal post, a field and a coach. And, unfortunately, April 16, when at least 32 people at Virginia Tech were killed by a deranged gunman, was one of those days. It marked the beginning of a time to reach out to the Virginia Tech community, for so many at West Virginia University - through geography, friends and family - are connected to the institution. The day after the deadliest shooting on a college campus in United States history brings nothing but disbelief, outrage, curiosity and grief. As we often do during times of bewilderment and mourning, we ask, "Why do bad things happen to good people?" And still, there is no answer. As a University that is familiar with Virginia Tech, whether on the playing field, academically or socially, it is only human to keep southwest Virginia in our thoughts just a day after such a disaster. But the effects are much more widespread. After the images displayed on network television, Monday's violence will be remembered just as the Kent State, University of Texas and Columbine shootings - except at an even larger level. In addition, the events may be a catalyst for change in the way higher education is conducted nationwide. Or at least in security procedures. For those of us sitting in large lecture halls and residing in campus dormitories, the anxiety and horror of what happened in Blacksburg, Va., doesn't seem very far. The realization is that tragedies of this magnitude can happen on any campus, big or small. For current WVU students, sitting in class today will feel much different than it did last Tuesday. In speaking with a few VT students on Monday, the realities of the events had yet to hit them. By day's end it surely had. It was certainly felt by VT's most familiar face. "How could one person cause so many senseless deaths? I'm in shock," said head football coach Frank Beamer, according to espn.com. "This is such a caring, friendly place. This is a college town. And now one person has an impact like this?" But on a day, and by a person whose words are normally revered, his thoughts were no more telling than the voices and words of the students who called in on CNN to tell their stories. In watching the cable network, a Virginia Tech student, Matt Waldron, was interviewed and spoke of his interactions with well-wishers and friends. Among them: a U.S. Soldier in Iraq who ironically faces similar dangers daily. And in watching Monday's death toll grow from 22 to 25 to 30 to 32, I wondered why the deaths in Iraq do not collect the same disbelief, outrage, curiosity and grief. But as violence in war is unfortunately expected, bloodshed in the classroom is unimaginable. timothy.tassa@mail.wvu.edu -- Original Source: The Daily Athenaeum <a href="http://www.da.wvu.edu/show_article.php?&story_id=27545">http://www.da.wvu.edu/show_article.php?&story_id=27545</a> Language A language of the resource eng Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Leann Ray <Leann.Ray@mail.wvu.edu> Title A name given to the resource Remember the Hokies beamer iraq security sports wvu https://www.april16.vtlibraries.net/files/original/DSC00025_642ba1c258.JPG null Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In all, 33 people were killed at Virginia Tech on Monday in what officials are calling the most deadly school attack in U.S. history. As we begin to grieve this substantial loss, college campuses around the nation are struggling to figure out how to prevent such senseless acts of violence from occurring in the future. While some students are looking to their university administrators to address safety concerns, it may not occur to them that they could also play some role in keeping tragedies of this nature from reoccurring. The most alarming part of the tragedy is not the record-breaking number of casualties, the warning signs leading up to it, or the university's unprepared response. It is that the gunman was neither a misguided Marilyn Manson protÃ©gÃ© nor a terrorist as we may have assumed. Instead, Cho Seung-hui was a 23-year-old English major who lived in the dorms on campus like countless other undergraduate students around the nation. "He was a loner, and we're having difficulty finding information about him," said Larry Hincker, Virginia Tech's associate vice president for university relations, in a press release. From the little information available, it appears as though Cho was not unlike many college students who struggle to fit in with the white, upper-middle class group of elite students who often dominate the social scenes of universities around the country. Cho poured his hatred and resentment for this exclusive group of socialites into a lengthy note found in his dorm room on Tuesday morning. His passionate disdain for the "in" crowd calls attention to the dangerous divide that exists between the popular students and social outcasts. As we walk carelessly around campus, Syracuse University students never expect to encounter an armed gunman in our classrooms or dormitories. Yet the underlying social conflict that appears to have ignited the tragedy at Virginia Tech exists right here at SU. College students must reconsider the way we treat one another and recognize that we may be partially responsible for the insecurities and depression that drive individuals to such extreme resentment. It shouldn't matter whether or not isolated individuals fit into our precious social hierarchy. In order to bridge the divide between loners and the "in" crowd, we must reach out to all fellow students. Small acts of kindness that require students to descend from their pedestals could make individuals feel less alone and could even prevent them from acting out in violence. -- Original Source:<a href=http://media.www.dailyorange.com/media/storage/paper522/news/2007/04/18/Opinion/Remove.Cause.Of.Violence.By.Ending.Social.Divide-2848063.shtml>The Daily Orange - April 18, 2007</a> Language A language of the resource eng Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available The Daily Orange Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Peter Waack <pwaack@dailyorange.com> Title A name given to the resource Remove cause of violence by ending social divide syracuse daily Document A resource containing textual data.
