Statement from V Tech killer's family - they hurt too

[DrKym]

There was more to this report. Their lawyer said that they are staying with friends or family right now.

The police have said that when they move back to their home, they will act immediately regarding any hate crimes that might happen.

The killer was obviously tortured and very sick...did he not think how this would affect his own family, let alone the families and friends of his victims?



A couple of students from V Tech said they also feel really bad for the family. Let's hope that common sense prevails amid the horrible pain.

the thought of rationale over emotion in this instance is low. I pray that these people suffer no more.

The media have made it very public knowledge that this family is not staying in their own home - I wonder why?

For the same reason the lawyer is giving the statement publicly and not the sister - the family is in great danger from those weird minds that might decide to seriously hurt or kill the family.

Richard - the sister issued the statement - the lawyer released it to AP.

"He has made the world weep. We are living a nightmare," said a statement issued by Cho's sister, Sun-Kyung Cho, on the family's behalf.

It was the Chos' first public comment since the 23-year-old student killed 32 people and committed suicide Monday in the deadliest shooting rampage in modern U.S. history.

Raleigh, N.C., lawyer Wade Smith provided the statement to the AP after the Cho family reached out to him. Smith said the family would not answer any questions, and neither would he."

About the sister: "a 2004 Princeton University graduate who works as a contractor for a State Department office that oversees American aid for Iraq."

I wish the media would please quit bringing it up. It doesn't matter where the family is staying as long as they are safe from weird minds. I can't imagine what they must be going through. I hope they don't get retaliated against for what their family member did.
