First of all, I’m deeply sorry for the families of victims who suffered losses. After the
identification of shooter was turned out to be a 23-year-old South Korean native Cho
Seung Hui. I was shocked about the fact that one Korean guy had done this heinous
shooting which caused 33 innocent people in VT dead. When I learned about the
incident, I was like what kind of psycho would do something like that? And when that
psycho turned out to be one of my people, my opinion of that “psycho” was
dramatically changed. Before the details of shooter except for the fact that shooter
was released, I, including other Korean citizens in South Korea, was hoping the
shooter wasn’t from my native country; I was hoping that shooter was from other
countries from Asia because if that shooter was from my country, It could cause the
possibilities of possible terrors on innocent Korean-Americans just because we
were “Koreans.” I hope you people remember the L.A riot, where innocent Korean-
Americans suffered the losses of their lives, properties, and hopes by African-
Americans who were allegedly harmed by Korean- Americans. Yeah I know what you
guys are thinking; we Koreans are always innocent no matter what we do to you
people, but the fact is we never do any harm to you. We Korean Americans are just
like any other immigrants living in the United States, living on the brink of an ice which
can be cracked any time by a little breeze. I just want to say that please do not
think that we are same people as Cho was. I wish there won’t be any grudge or
hatred in you people against Korean-Americans. God bless, again my deepest
condolences to the victims of this heinous shooting.
