According to the Korea Herald newspaper, Cho's parents are currently under the

protection of the Virginia State Police...

I feel like I should right a concurring opinion. I agree with the yes, but not necessarily for the explaination given in the poll

Same here. Yes, but not for that reason.

Are you saying it is their fault?

It's not not their fault.

Yeah, they probably need all the protection they can get right about now. I feel sorry for them.

Of course they will protect them. That is their duty.

I disagree with most of you, I voted NO but not for the reason stated. The parents do not deserve any special police protection. They should get same level of law enforcement coverage that the rest of us get and those of the victums. They do not deserve any special consideration. They did not commit the crime and most americans think like that, but my tax dollars should not go to give people special protections that the rest do not recieve.

I voted yes as well, but not for the reason gave. I also feel sorry for them.

Well, considering Cho's sister is a professional with a degree and hasn't run around shooting 32 people I don't think you can hold his upbringing as too much of a contributing factor.

The kid was mentally unstable and some people are just bad.

The cops will, in theory, make extra effort to protect anyone against whom there is a credible threat.

Doubtless there will be at least one arsehole who thinks that payback against the family is somehow justifiable. Oddly enough you always find that such people have little or no direct connection to the events.

currently there are 4 who voted no. i voted yes the police should as the parents (hopefully the sister too) deserve protection from a lynch mob.

i think this is more about the choices the kid made rather than the way he was raised.

I think Cho was probably seriously mentally ill; some psychoses don't develop until you're in your 20s or 30s and have nothing to do with upbringing. I say protect the family. They didn't do the shooting, they didn't put the guns in his hands; they don't deserve to be torn to pieces.
