Have you seen the NIU murderer's girlfriend on CNN.com?

I watched the interview and got the sense that she was holding back a smile most of the time when she was talking. I didn't sense much compassion for the victims at all. She even said that "he was a victim too." I wanted to slap her.

    I kind of got the same vibe as you. She didn't even show any sympathy towards any of the real victims.

    I saw the interview myself. I didn't get that impression at all.

    I wouldn't go so far as to agree with ehr that "he was a victim too", but I would say that those who knew and loved him are deserving of compassion - as are the families and friends of the victims of the shooter.

    I saw a clip of her on tv - it might not have been the same one you saw. She was crying and seemed generally upset over what her boyfriend did. Slapping her won't solve things and certainly won't bring back the lives of the people who died. The man had issues as well - I know this isn't an excuse but someone who is relatively happy with their life would not commit such an atrocity.

    That is interesting.

    However, the grieving process could result in a state of denial for her. While she may, on one level, know what happened, on another level she may be struggling with the idea.

    Or she may have known in advance and may just be misleading us. Only him and her know the absolute truth.

    I saw that! I wanted to smash the laptop with a bat, or something! It's true, she WAS suppressing a smile!

    I agree. I feel like we don't know the whole story between those two. I did not get good vibes from her at all.

    how about leave these people alone.

    she's grieving too, you know.

    you can't possibly know how it feels to be her right now so the least you can do is respect her and her situation and not trash-talk her on the internet.

    She did seem very immature, I agree with you. (Strange)
