Quite a few brave souls of the 101st Fighting Keyboardist brigade lashed out at the victims at Virginia Tech for not being manly enough to fight back against Cho Seung-Hui. As he came into the class and killed dozens of students before ending his own life, the arrogant wingnuts claimed that they would have done more to try to save themselves and their fellow classmates. Well it turns out that there were victims who tried to stop Seung-Hui from his murderous rampage. One of those was a holocaust survivor, who ended up dying for his brave actions.
From The Roanoke Times:
In the flurry of students dialing 911 on cell phones, taking cover on the floor and twisting open second story windows to escape, Merrey, 22, glanced over her shoulder before jumping.
“I just remember looking back and seeing him at the door,” the Virginia Tech senior recalled of her professor. “I don’t think I would be here if it wasn’t for him.”
By Tuesday morning, newspapers from Washington, D.C., to Jerusalem shared the story of how Librescu — a 76 year-old Holocaust survivor — blocked his classroom doorway from a gunman while his students leapt to freedom.
More than being 'manly,' this incredible professor with an equally amazing past was a hero to many that survived this week's tragic incident in Virginia. There were also other students that tried jamming the door, yet in the right-wingers blaze of furious typing, they callously disregarded the emotional damage wrought by the event and displayed fake machismo on their computer screens.
So now that the facts are out, will John Derbyshire, Nathaniel Blake and Mark Steyn be courageous enough to apologize to the victims and their families for the egregious mistakes they made? I'm willing to guess that is a no.
