Virginia Tech and the Streets of Laredo


“But please not one word of the man who had killed me.
Don't mention his name and his name will pass on."

NPR ran a short story this morning regarding how the media has not consistently reported the name of the Virginia Tech terrorist.



I don’t care how his name is pronounced. The word order of his name is of no use to me. I don’t want to read his writings or watch his videos.

The people who were murdered are the names that reporters should make sure they pronounce correctly and consistently. Instead of figuring out the killer’s name or trying to understand what was going on in his head, go to this NPR story which reflects on the lives of this tragedy’s victims.
