Boortz Blames VT VictimsRadio talk show host Neal Boortz criticized Cho Seung-Hui's victims for not charging at him as he fired at them 170 times with two semiautomatic weapons for just 9 minutes. He referred to the students' response as being indicative of "the wussification of America" and said history will remember the event as "25 students standing meekly waiting for this guy to execute them." When a listener called the show and said he was offended by the comments, Boortz gleefully mocked him on the air. When the listener suggested that Boortz should apologize to the victims for his comments, Boortz replied, "Bite me."
