If it were allowed, it would be pictures of Cho's blown off face aired to tell how these actions will always end.

Additionally, when does the media stop traumatizing the VT students and their families? What about other children across the country that are fearful and holding classes in lockdown? Nothing can support NBC's decision to air that crap, and it appears they have brought an uproar upon themselves for their choice.
