Readers are up in arms over yesterday's cartoon in Roll Call. Some of the comments we received:
"I found today's editorial cartoon in Roll Call to be insensitive, appalling, and downright disrespectful to those grieving over Monday's horrific events. Perhaps because I am a May '06 graduate of VT, or perhaps just because I'm an emphatic human being (as I know that most people are in the wake of this tragedy), I think the decision to run this cartoon was utterly tasteless. Shame on you, Roll Call."
"I guess the cartoonist at Roll Call didn't know anyone at VT. Glad to see they are able to make light of a harrowing, tragic situation."
"In an already overly-desensitized world, Roll Call's cartoon today pushed things over the top. Have some tact."
"The RJ Matson cartoon in Roll Call today is disgraceful. RJ should be ashamed and what the hell was Roll Call thinking putting that in their paper? Truly just pathetic!"
