2 sides to the story: NTU stabbing case more to it?
I read a link on tomorrow.sg, about the stabbing incident of the professor in NTU.http://izreloaded.blogspot.com/2009/03/really-curious-case-of-david-widjaja.html
The above youtube video is the NTU student's father and brother being interviewed on an Indonesian news channel or something.
I don't have any firm standing on this like, "OH! THAT STUDENT'S THE F-ED UP ONE!" or "OH! THE PROF MUST BE F_ED UP ONE!"
I'm more like, " OHHHHHH, why our media like that one."
To think I used to think our newspaper is a super reliable source of news to find out two sides to a story. Now, I find their notions being rebutted everywhere.
Today's papers got two more shootings somemore -.-
You see ah, sometimes right, I won't really fully sympathize with the victims, albeit NO ONE deserves such an ending, but do you people still remember the Korean shooter guy in the states?
Here's the wiki page.
Now this one, I symathize with the shooter, true, he's an asshole , he gunned down many innocent people, however did anyone ask WHY?
Was he seriously the stereotypical person who got mocked at by strangers and rich kids every single day? The dude who was the butt of all mean jokes and pranks?
If so, why the hell won't he snap? Every one has a breaking point, we each choose in our different way to break out in anger, but did anyone bother to know him better to know that he has such violent thoughts?
Like I said, I am not saying HE'S RIGHT, but I am saying, listen to both sides of the story first. The parents, friends & relatives of the victims have every right to hate the shooter to his inner core and pray fervently he's paying it out someway or the other, but again, there is no smoke without a fire.
Now , TERRORISM, however, I AM SUPER IRRITATED AT THEM, and they deserved to be shot in the leg first, then in the head.
I DON'T CARE WHETHER THEY WANT TO GET THEIR MESSAGE ACROSS CLEARLY AND THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH WEAPONS TO DO IT.
I DON'T CARE IF THEY ARE FIGHTING WITH ROCKS.
IF OTHER PEOPLE CAN SURVIVE IT, WHY CAN'T THEY?
JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR SOME FALSE SENSE OF BRAVADO OR SOME WARPED RELIGIOUS CAUSE?
ESP this issue,
till today I still remember this photo
You all better remember it.
I flipped through pages of images from the Beslan School hostage crisis to find this one.
Showed a father weeping when he identified his child among the hundred over body bags of dead children.
THIS I CANNOT UNDERSTAND.
You want to take it out , take it out on the bloody people you're handling.
Not on those that cannot eve protect, or had nothing to do with it in the first place!
Gah, anyway digressing from the NTU case. Go read his article, a lot of interesting points noted.
