Suoth Korea's Response to Va. Tech

[guido911]

I recall approx. 6-7 years ago when a U.S. soldier allegedly raped a woman in Okinawa and because of such the Okinawan people demanded the U.S. leave the country. Has anyone in the U.S. called for the removal of all South Korean citizens from our country because of what that South Korean national did at Va. Tech? What has been the South Korean response to one of its citizens killing 32 in the U.S.?

The BBC is reporting that they are shocked and saddened.

Which is how everyone is feeling I'm guessing.

Um, Okinawa is in Japan. Not South Korea.

DM: No, really? I did not know that. I guess the analogy thing did not sink in...

I did misspell "South" though...

I'd rather just accept the fact that we are understanding enough to know better than to level hatred towards South Korea in response to this massacre.  Who cares about some backlash we got in the past, lets just be understanding to SK and leave it at that.
