I agree that there is a large difference between the event that occurred at the Univ. of Iowa in 1991 is a far cry from the Virginia Tech massacre and the Northern Illinois recent shooting. Gang Lu did not assault a classroom, he went to the department that, in his paranoid mind, has wronged him. It is interesting that no one at the University of Iowa will comment on this film, that is how polarizing this film is. Gang Lu was not up for a Nobel Prize, in the real world events. I doubt the student who has been a quadriplegic since this event would see Gang Lu as the victim of anything, nor would the families of those he killed.
