[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 187936, member: 1912"] In such a scenario as Virginia Tech faced there were few if any reasons to hope for survival. Short of having armed guards roaming the halls or carrying guns to school there were few reasons to hope for survival. Kids trying to hide on the floors of classrooms paralyzed with fear. Witnesses said they were so paralyzed that there were no whimpers or screams as they were shot. They simply laid there. In the midst of that one man had the courage to stand up as a hero. One man who had seen an atrocity even worse then this one. One man who had survived being a victim of the holocaust and refused to act as a paralyzed victim again. In a classic act of heroism he gave his aging life so the young would live theirs. His resume of accomplishments since the holocaust numbers 61 pages. He truly valued his life and had been determined to make the most of every minute since escaping those death camps of long ago. And in the end when that demon of hate that made his life a living hell so long ago returned he faced it with true courage and conviction. God bless your Liviu Librescu you leadership haunts me.
