Yet there are plenty of cynic aftershocks I have to mention:
- true statement by woman at supermarket counter, seeing the shooter's face in the newspaper: "hee kijk, das die klootzak die al die mensen in Amerika heeft doodgeschoten. Het is maar goed dat ie zichzelf heeft afgeknald, anders had ik het wel gedaan..." (I don't think it's hard to imagine how this guy got so crazy; also kind of convenient that the guy shot himself in the face... did anyone actually see the body?)
- true statement on the radio: the opponents of free gun sales in the United States use this tragedy as a strong argument for their cause... but so do the supporters. In fact, the supporters actually say that had there been MORE free gun sales, the people who got shot this week actually had the chance to defend themselves... (*sigh...* c'mon guys...)
- the victims roles were nicely distributed. You've got the man who had the heroic sacrifice, the innocent, the beautiful girl... but strangefully, I didn't see people who were supposedly the ones that irked this guy so much, the charlatans, the arrogant assholes... where were they?
- what little time will pass until we see the first scenes of riots against Koreans? The over-under is at one week.
