"This is what I've heard thus far."

I was going to write another post about the newest development in the VA Tech shooting with links to his video and other posts.

But I decided against it. I'm pretty fed up with the major news networks, their coverage, and the spin machine for various political agendas. Even the progressive / liberal coverage is just falling short on so many points. And I don't even want to talk about the conservative pundits -- they're simply too heinous to reiterate.

But I'm going to talk about this in my own way and on my own terms. And this is what I've heard thus far.

I just heard that the fear of a backlash against Korean Americans is on the rise, and two Korean students were physically assaulted as an act of retaliation was reported. I've heard that the South Korean embassy is asking the Korean American community here for assistance in locating their students because of this growing backlash. That the international students should find other locations from their current residences, and to travel in pairs or have escorts for their own safety.

And that's all I have for now.
