I first came across this story today on Deadspin about the two University of Georgia students who purchased tickets to the 2006 Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl to watch their Bulldogs take on the Virginia Tech Hokies. One of the students got on Ebay, searched for some tickets and won an auction. No big deal, right? Well it wouldn't have been, except for the fact that it turns out the Virginia Tech student he bought them from was none other than Seung-Hui Cho.Via the story that I read earlier, the junior Georgia student who bought the tickets (Casey Spivey) is planning on selling the ticket stubs and donating the money to a charity that has been set up for the families of the victim's in the shooting that took place last week.
I guess it's kind of a nice gesture to find a way to help out those who lost a loved one in the shootings (but seriously, would you really keep the money from selling those tickets...you'd have to be a complete douchebag to do something like that). But I gotta ask, who in the world would buy those ticket stubs? I cannot imagine someone wanting to look at those everyday and have to think about the events that unfolded the morning of April 16th. I can only hope that whoever buys those tickets decides to discard them in a way so they are never seen again. If I were more than a poor college student, I would look into buying those and then burn them so nobody has to see them again. It's not enough that this whole situation was grossly over-publicized (including seeing the kid talk about what he was going to do and seeing those crazy pictures), but now we have to hear about the unimportant things Cho did before the massacre and make a big deal about them.
Ughh...I am getting pretty sick of hearing his name. I wish they'd never release the names of the people who do this or the videos/pictures they send in. It will just create more of an incentive for some other person to think that people will see and remember him/her after doing such a horrible act.
