While Most Ran For Their Lives...


JERUSALEM — "A 76-year-old professor who survived the Holocaust was shot to death while saving his students from the Virginia Tech assailant, students said.

Liviu Librescu, an internationally respected aeronautics engineer who taught at Virginia Tech for 20 years, saved the lives of several students by barricading his classroom door before he was gunned down in the massacre, according to e-mail accounts sent by students to his wife..."

I've come to the conclusion that I'm the wrong person to be blogging this story. There were full grown men in their early 20's who ran and let this old man die for them. Waiting on the other side of a door with a raised chair to brain a 100 lbs soaking wet Korean seemed to be out of the question. No stopping to help a brave old Jew.

Not a one of them.
