Original report from Washington DC
04/05/2007
Jimmy Chan, a 21-year-old Cambodian student at Virginia Tech, said this week that despite the recent murders there, he isn't going anywhere.
He was preparing to go to school on April 16, the third-year undergraduate said in a telephone interview from his home in Blacksburg, Virginia, when his sister, who works at the university called him.
Two people had been killed, he said, but he wasn't worried. That might have been normal, he said.
It was the beginning of the worst university killing in US history, but at first, Chan said, it seemed small. As he watched the story unfold on television, shock set it. He didn't think one person could kill so many.
In the end, 31 people were killed, along with the shooter, Seung-Hui Cho.
The school is now in mourning, but Chan said he plans to continue classes. He feels strange at times, he said, being Asian at the University, wearing his favorite black shirt. People said Cho wore black shirts and was withdrawn. But Chan said he tries not to worry about that.
Besides, he said, he likes the campus.

An advice to Chan: don't think only stick and stone can hurt you but words can be awesome brain vibration and drilling. Each day it will surely build up and next thing you know it KABOOM.
Find to ways to release brain vibrators peacefully before it is too late.
use KI and curse Hun Xen!
And what for Hun Sen?
He can do it to Ranarith
And you know who Ranarith can do to ? and be recycled in Malasia!
Hahahahaha, school shooting has
became one of the US tradition
because they haven't got a clue
on how to solve it. What is a bunch
of Dumb Loud Mouth? And they think
they are the world judge, hahaha,
LOL, hahahaha. China, on the other
hand, has 4 times the population
of the US, and I have yet to hear
such an incident in the last few
centuries. That is what called
real leader and true role model
for the world.
Ah lop! Ni Yeay Men Dieng Aey!
"China, on the other

Is China a Free and Democratic country or a Communist country?
That's right! That is why your dumb ass had never heard any such incident in the last few centuries!
Ah Lop! Ah Lop Bram-Piel Son-Dan!
Ah Pler!!! Mua!!!!
Kratie, Cambodia
FYI fool (12:32), if there are
shooting in school, the government
can't hide it. People will passed
on the information from one to
another all over China in no time.
Eh,
"If you already find yourself in the hole, don't try to reach out for a shovel."
Good try! But that is a very poor and uneducated analysis I have ever heard.
People are sharing and/or passing on information/news from one person to another by mouth-to-mouth (gossip/hearsay)is a norms and practice that they do within their own little neighborhood, village,community, city, etc. However, how explicit and implicit about the information that they are sharing is depend on where they are living and what kind of form of government they are living under.
Case in point, countries that are governing by dictatorship, communist, absolute monarchy, and socialist regime would instantly kill the source and most of the time they shut down the press/media altogether. However, in the democratic society/country, the government helps to promote eguality, justice, and CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.
Bullshit, if the Chinese government
can disclosed the execution of
1,500-1,700 crimimals per years,
they couldn't careless about
hiding any school shooting. What
benefit is it to them. Usually
like most government, if they hide
something, it will be to cover up
mistakes, or something that could
jeopardized their national
security.
