It was bad enough when I heard last week that a memorial stone had been erected for Virginia Tech murderer Seung-Hui Cho.

Now this.

The University of Oklahoma has put up a memorial to a student who died when a homemade bomb exploded near the OU football stadium.

A stone with the name of Joel Hinrichs III was placed outside the OU student union by the student affairs division.

Hinrichs died Oct. 1, 2005, when the bomb he built detonated as he sat on a campus bench near Memorial Stadium while a football game was under way.

We’re erecting memorials to murdering gunmen and suicide bombers on campus while opposing memorials to real heros.

Welcome to “higher” education in America.

1. If I ever get rich, I’m going to build a statue of George S. Patton on my front lawn. after all, if you want to make a point by building a memorial, what better person to build a memorial of?

2. “…Johnson said that Virginia Tech did not just lose 32 students and faculty members in the massacre–It lost 33 lives.”

   Not surprisingly, Ms. Johnson, “a sociology-psychology major,” got it wrong! VT did not lose a single life; an evil person named Seung-Hui Cho deliberately took those lives with a blatantly selfish disregard for each individual person. …and “evil,” Ms. Johnson, should NEVER be honored or recognized in a memorial manner. To do so completely devalues the lives of the people killed and exonerates their killer by making him a “victim” instead of the perpetrator. Cho deserved to die, but it should have been by someone else’s bullet, not his own!

3. […] It All Wrong April 27, 2007 Posted by taoist in Multiculturalism. trackback Texas Rainmaker has links to memorials being built to campus killers. That’s right, whackoleftist students are building a memorial to Cho, as the 33rd student Virgina Tech lost in the shootings. They feel it’s their “moral responsibility.” This is a fundamental illustration of how messed up the cultural drive to not discriminate on anything ends up being. […]
