Principle harass Asian Students on campus

When? 1:30-2:13 pm
Where? School campus
What happened? The principle of my school had set an auditorium for Asians. She started to talk about what happened to V-tech and she was saying he was crazy because of us, and it was our fault that he murdered them all. Which I do not think it is true. He clearly stated it was because of the rich white people (Not trying to be racist) that had made him like that. After that whole speech, she said something that made us all go crazy. She had implied that we should go back to all our countries.
_______________________
During school, many white people were grilling at us really hard. They called us names, threw whatever they had at us. It was unbelievable.
How did you respond? How I responded was not a good thing. I was one of the few who actually got up and walked out to auditorium not before spitting near the principle's foot and cursing the living shit out of her with a few others. I was not about to sit there and take that crap like that from anyone. I thought it was really rude that she was blaming all this Vtech stuff on us. Basically, she was blaming all us Asians that we forced him to be like that. It was really wrong of her to say that. I mean, if she wants some respect from us, she shouldn't be saying things like that to any of her students. What a bad example she is setting for everyone.

Some girls behind me were talking about the Vtech massacre. They were accusing us out of all people. That we were the blame for this cause. I ignored it at first, but soon I got annoyed at the person behind me who was saying loud things like "OHI WISH ASIANS COULD ALL DIE. IT'S ALL THEY'RE FAULT THAT HE SHOT THEM ALL." I turned around and threw a fist at her so she would get a hint that she should be quiet. I know ti's not the right thing to do, but I'm a angry girl. I won't and don't get pushed around by anyone.

And hopefully, something can be done about all these documented incidents.

Hate Crimes After VTECH Shooting

It's unfortunate that an event like the VTech Shooting had to even occur, and has come to scar the very conscience of our nation. But it's scarring us to the point where human anger has exploit the open wound and seeks to rip it open entirely. And this is needless.

Nonetheless, there are many faces out there, womyn, children, and teens, working men, that will be affected by the aftermath anger. It's just as important to let these faces be seen and voices be heard. So please document any hate crimes that have affected you or your loved-ones as a result of this VTECH Shooting. Because it's important for the world to see how much needless pain we continue to cause each other right after an already painful event. Please don't go unheard, let this be a reminder and a wake-up call to the conscience against the hate and rage. Don't SILENCE the hurt.
