“TOO MANY LEGAL HURTLES TO INTERVENE”

A fascinating moment from this story: A teacher who worried about the Virginia Tech killer “said she notified authorities about Cho, but said she was told that there would be too many legal hurdles to intervene.” (ABC News)

From the Wall Street Journal: The mass murder at Virginia Tech is the kind of traumatic event that unleashes a torrent of pop sociology and national psychoanalysis, so allow us to weigh in with a more fundamental explanation: There are evil and psychotic people in this world willing to do great harm to others if they aren't stopped. The dilemma in a free society is how to stop them. (WSJ)

From Medved’s blog: Regardless of the background or motivation of the killer, Virginia Tech reminds us of the most important truth of our time: that terrorist monsters can’t be explained, or excused, or appeased, or ignored, or negotiated into civilized behavior. They must be confronted and destroyed – before they destroy more of the decent and the innocent. (Townhall) A look at those Cho killed. (NY Times)
