AURORA, Colo. — In the morning, Wissal Chichou hoped, she would answer the question she asked herself most days: How compassionate should she be in a country where many lacked empathy for her?
She was a Muslim teenager, 18 and a freshman in college, not quite the adult she hoped to be, but she had endured enough to know she would have to decide soon. Should she forgive everyone who discriminated against her? Or should she stand up for herself?
