Instead of denouncing him as the evil bastard he was, and taking responsibility for not stopping him herself, she takes off on a bizarre, nuts-o diatribe filled with left-wing fantasy nonsense about baby elephants?!?
She sounds like a complete moonbat in that speech.
Sheesh!
Unbelievable! No wonder our education system is turning out wackos. Talk about a disconnect...
I don’t agree with it, but I do understand the rationale behind what she is doing. People from the left are trying to empower themselves by taking the blame for other people’s activities. It makes them feel less frightened to think they did something to cause evil (and can conversely do something to stop evil).
Well, maybe I shouldn’t use the word evil, because they don’t reallly believe in good/evil. But I think it’s a fairly egocentric approach to the world to try and rationalize that everything is your own fault.
You said — “Instead of denouncing him as the evil bastard he was...”
I saw her do that very thing. I saw an interview (on the web TV version of CNN) in which she denounced him as — not disturbed but mean. She said “I know disturbed and he was not disturbed; he was mean!”
That definitely puts another light on things. And as for following through on these things, they apparently did, with the university administration and counseling and the police department. But, apparently nothing came of it (or not “enough” came of it).

oh my Lord........
Yes & more. It was awful...
Fact is that a person cannot be committed to a mental institution against their will unless they have harmed themselves or another.
Used to be that people could be confined against their will. That led to terrible abuse for a variety of illegitmate reasons.
The law was changed and the unintended consequences leave us all vulnerable to people like Cho.
The solution, there is none.
As for the poet, she rallied the students from their near stupor of sadness, if only for a short while.
I don’t condemn her for that.
bttt
Oh thank you, I wondered if I was the only one that had to mute her.
Liberals coddle criminals. That's all you need to know.
