Absolutely incredible. I'll be watching that a few more times.
One of the things about this VT shooting that continues to bother me is that he got the chance to take his own life. I was really hoping he would be killed by law enforcement (since no one else was armed.)
I thought of Rainbow Six and the part where the one of the R6 snipers was being reprimanded by Clark for not taking a head shot on a terrorist who had killed hostages. He had purposefully dropped his aim and gut shot him instead so he would die a painful death.

You said: Not a chance- for days now I have been mourning the high quality of people that he took away with him.
In the context of his grandiose claims of class struggle and sticking up for the little guy, he did kill his peers. He was a student at the same school, in the same classes. He probably killed more children of working class parents than anything else.
Of *course* this wasn't *really* about class warfare or struggle. It was just an excuse born of his delusions.
As shown by the fact that he chose to kill people no more privileged than he was.
Go down a couple posts to the one about European reaction and follow the link and read them.
When you're done being nauseous (particularly over the remark from Italy) you'll see that others seem willing enough to buy into his delusions, despite the fact that he killed his PEERS and not members of an oppressive ruler class.

I prayed for God to have mercy on his lost soul, because somewhere in time he made a deal with the devil, and we all know what that can do to a person.Some can handle it, most can not. But for to claim he died like Jesus Christ is a mockery of the most precious gift ever given to us.Jesus died FOR us, he didn't kill for us.Putting all that aside, I could not help myself when I said my prayers, for God to please help Cho's lost soul.

As a parent I am recommending a way to stop the copy cat syndrome. If the fact that Mr. Cho sought help on his own at the police dept, then to go to a mental health facility, to a judge giving an order for a psychiatric evaluation at a Psychiatric Hospital to only find that the doctors evaluation then found him not to be any danger to others so the possibility of a committment to the hospital was gone.
The population needs to be told that this was also a result of the fact that he sought help and ended up where he started. Then to make a memorial in the name of the victims to help others with mental health issues so that this does not happen again and the victims can be honored to address that this tragedy does not happen again and it will help stop copy cats. Also the leaders of all schools should have students nationwide to come up with ways to better acknowledge the victims and their stand for better mental health care. Students should be told that they need to communicate with their freinds or counselors and not be loners for their own mental health. Just like we are addressing obesity we need to address how mental health is vital to not only the student but to those around him or her. Also it should be stressed that parents should be notified that they can obtain the written permission to know of their childs health and educational status on campus and this is not encourged on the college level. Our children turn 18 and the next day parents have no input in their child's health or education and this is what happens. If a child has a medical or educational problem I think we must make parents aware that they have the right to seek this permission to obtian information on the status of their children so that they can assure that they get the services they need.
This is only mn opinion. I do not want to see more copy cats and there has to be a means to turn it around so we look at people like Mr. Cho as sad and needing more help and this will turn off many to emulate his horrific acts of violence. If something is not done now we will see more chaos and I fear more threats and killings. Anyway just an idea and I hope it helps

We may want to stick our heads in the sand because the images and what they represent offend our sensibilities. I understand that many are in excruciating pain from the loss of loved ones and cannot bear the thought of looking at the person who inflicted this heartache. On the surface this appears to be a clear case of a mentally disturbed individual venting his rage on innocent lives and therefore, our habit is to dismiss it in our minds as an abnormality, a deviation from the norm, but in actuality this is indicative of a very complex phenomenon exemplifying the direction we are going in as a country and ultimately, a species. Our modern culture has seen an over abundance of violent TV shows & movies, violent lyrics in music, cruel and angry reality shows, portrayal of mean-ness as the ultimate form of entertainment. There is a preoccupation with body image, physical appearance, money and so on... look at us, we worship the likes of Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan whose lives are a series of partying, drugs and sex.... Our children are excessively exposed to these themes, images and messages at a very young age. Psychology 101: Children live what they learn. When the predominance of the information children receive from society is of this nature, it then becomes their sense of reality. They believe that these are the things that constitute our experience and existence as human beings.... where is the over abundance of images depicting love, compassion, kindness? We are creating a generation of superficial, plastic, selfish people where the great search in life is about excess and trying to appease an inexhaustible craving for physical pleasure. Our greatest error is thinking that each thing is separate unto itself. For every action there is a reaction and everything is connected, so we are sadly misguided in thinking that what we portray in the name of entertainment does not have a tremendous impact on our children's psyche and present the foundation of their beliefs..... There is no one thing that causes an individual to reach breaking point, instead it is the culmination of everything he has ever experienced in his life and the impressions left upon his psyche, lest we forget all those children who endure physical, sexual, mental and emotional abuse. These experiences are assimilated and ultimately create a toxic fusion of energies and emotions. Children today are feeling more alienated and dis-jointed than ever, as parents are caught up in the "fight for survival" spending more time and energy at work ultimately leaving less and less time for raising their children in a balanced and harmonious manner. Whilst in the mind of the parent what they are doing is in the best interest of the child as they can provide more material things.... the truth is, a child would much rather a sincere hug and the attention of a parent than the latest barby doll or video game.... Do you not think that the 4-6 hours they spend playing bloody video games or watching television shows that depict screaming, cruel and out of control people are laying the foundation of their belief system? Needless to say, the horse is already out the gate and it will take awareness from the majority to recognize it is heading in the wrong direction. I pray that we wake up before many more are unnecessarily slaughtered by these mostly affected minds who in the midst of their darkness, are screaming for us to heed the call....

"Thanks to you I died like Jesus Christ, to inspire generations of the weak and defenseless people."
Um, no you didn't...
. .
But, who the hell is "Jesus Christ:" ...Is it, he, they, something that really MEANT something to Seung Cho? Because if not, then, its just a nonsense term, "Jesus Christ," figuratively speaking, a social icon, a symbol. He means that most people, he COULD have meant it in the sense that most people take "Jesus Christ" here in America, the land of the elite, the 'brats, and the 'snobs,' to be somekind of a social symbol that means somebody who cares for the weak and the defenseless and 're-ax' on behalf of the weak and defenseless.
Seung Cho didn't speak much, but when you ask why he killed, you could say it was because he was frustrated of having watched and of having himself felt, all the mutilation of the weak and the defenseless. So, in that context, he 'spoke out' for the silently suffering weak and defenseless in this country, the multilated, the 'torched,' and also for those in the countries the ruling elite of this country, the 'brats,' the 'snobs,' leave weak and defenseless. He 'spoke out,' of course, with bloodshed and killing (and mutilations back at "the Americans").
There's an opressor elite. Yes. There are 'snobs,' 'brats.' Yes. There are 'mentors.' The elite and the power leaves no room to breath. The weak and the defenseless are 'torched.' Yes. And the stupid so-called "Jesus Christ" doesn't do anything but leave a "church" full of 'brats,' 'snobs,' 'mentors,' 'tormentors' tormenting the weak and defenseless. Making themselves rich while suffocating the free and the pure.
So bang, bang. Cho shot them dead.
Yeah.
Maybe there'll be another 'inspired by....' Like he said, and you, for no good reason, deride.
You don't know. Everybody can't 'get help,' 'be given help,' until the last breath is suffocated, until the last cry is silenced. There'll always be the possiblity that the next "Jesus Christ" will 'ax' out just as bloody and violently at 'the Americans' the next sping cleaning out season. Or sometime, once again. What do you know about America?? Someone such as YOU hardly even lives in the same country. And someone like you HARDLY lives in Korea or Iraq or Darfur or Nigeria. Because a whole lot of kind and gentle people suffering 'Americans' in those places would like to 'torch' back a few dozen 'American' 'brats' and 'snobs.'
DEFEND THE WEAK AND DEFENSELESS BROTHERS AND SISTERS
CHEER ON THE MUSLIM REBELLION AGAINST THE SNOBS AND THE BRATS
Sincerely,
Ismail Ax

So, Cho Seung Hui is Christianist, or Christian terrorist.

Question Marks...
"This didn't have to happen", Cho Seung-Hui said, after brutally murdering thirty-two people at Virginia Tech University.
And this terrible tragedy of sons, daughters, mothers and fathers didn't have to happen, if we'd only listened.
But we never listen.
We never listen to those that are different from us- the outcasts, the lonely, the homeless, the ones that are unspoken for. We don't try to understand. We shun them and put them out of our minds because of our fear that we will become like them.
And these people become more and more lonely and alienated in their isolation.
Words like "creep", "deranged misfit" and "psycho" devalue this killer's humanity so we don't have to face how similar he is to us. Cries of "how could he have been stopped" are uttered by media quick to sensationalize and gain market share, when the words "how could he have been listened to" are never considered.
Because we don't want to listen.
We don't want to hear about loneliness and alienation when we're all so busy with our lives, making money and making friends. And the unpopular, the ones that don't fit in, the lonely ones are ignored or made fun of because we don't care to understand anything about them.
As a boy, Cho Seung-Hui "was picked on, pushed around and laughed at over his shyness" (Associated Press). When he started college, according to the Guardian, "his mother took his dormitory mates to one side to explain about her son's unusual character and implored them to help."
And he clearly needed help, devaluing himself so much that he called himself "Question Mark".
There are more "Question Marks" out there. There are millions of them. And if we don't listen to them, they will follow the same path again and again, because people are not connecting. We are becoming more and more disconnected from each other, creating more and more "Question Marks" every day.
Most "Question Marks" don't become murderers. Some just kill themselves. Most harm no one and live just as we do, needing antidepressants to appear what we call "normal". They may be someone you know, someone you love.
This "Question Mark" was once a little boy, who cried, and smiled and loved, He wanted to fit in just like you and I. But that desire to fit in transformed itself into anger towards a society that shunned and ignored him.
How many more times will we shun and ignore the one that doesn't fit in, the one in the corner, the one that's different? When all we have to do is listen, before it's too late.
But we won't.
Thirty-two human beings who did not know Cho Seung-Hui were murdered.
They were sons, daughters, fathers and mothers, with dreams of futures that will never come and children that will never be born. The thirty-two leave behind people that love them. People that are now scarred for life by this horrible day of death.
To most of us that have not been directly involved, this tragedy will become a memory and fade like all the others that came before.
And the "Question Marks" will appear with more frequency, again and again, because we don't listen.
We never do.

Praise me(seung cho), I did the right thing by killing those white and rich people who don't give a fuck about poor and weak people. Why the fuck you guys hate me just because I took revenge, you guys don't even know how much it hurts to be picked on and made fun of every day.

He clearly identified with Jesus Christ. It is the classic christian 'identity', where there is this incessant need to feel persecuted and shunned.

This USA raised Korean boy has left so many questions. Somepeople have mentioned that he was wearing marine coustume which has been disappeared quickly. How could he handle the brutal murder in so calm and precise manner with one handgun?(Police announced that he only used one handgun although he had two)
They were talking about a mind control....it's somewhat strange and fisy!!
