Liviu Librescu, a real hero

Liviu Librescu is a real hero. He survived the Holocaust, fought for academic freedom against the communists in Romania, and died saving his class during the massacre at Viginia Tech.

Librescu, 77, fearlessly braced himself against the door, holding it shut against the gunman in the hall, while students darted to the windows of the second-floor classroom to escape the slaughter, survivors said. He died trying to protect the students.

The cowardice of selfish, murderous scum like Cho Seung-hui stands in stark contrast to the greatness of a hero like Liviu Librescu.
