shooter on the va tech campus

[GoldenAgeHero]

the hell he killed alot of engineers.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

I just realized that the Columbine school incident happened 8 years ago on April 20th. That's tomorrow.

 

[Shifty]

Yes that will be a tense day for teachers and professors across North America. Good day to call in sick.

really creepy video. can't believe he sent this video to nbc of all place. well, at least, its not fox news.


Most creepy part of the video:

You thought it was one pathetic boy's life you were extinguishing. Thanks to you, I die like Jesus Christ, to inspire generations of the weak and the defenseless people.

it seems he thinks killing innocent lives would be inspiration but it only made him look like a pathetic loser.

As for the school's response, I completely agree. The assumption that is was an "isolated" incident was ridiculous, especially since they didn't know who did it or why. If there was a shooting in my dorm, I wouldn't expect to just go about the rest of my day like nothing happened. Yes, locking down an entire campus would be very hard, but they didn't even try. Even if they just cancelled classes, that would take a good number of students out of harms way.

The way I understand it, they already had someone in custody in regard to the dorm shooting when the Norris Hall shootings began. They thought they had the guy, so I can understand them not shutting down the whole campus. Honestly, I might have done the same thing. They couldn't have predicted what came next. No one could have.

Sociopaths like this piece of s**t always glorify their inglorious actions.

In the end, he still won. He got what he set out to do. He made history and his name will be remembered in infamy.

He was evil but his twisted plan succeeded and now..America has a real challenge on its hands to stop this type of villian in the future because its nearly impossible.

I mean how do you stop someone who doesnt care about his own life being sacrificed? Thats the worst kind of threat anyone can face IMO

This true....

 

[WTFimVENOM]

the fact that ppl can think that the way to solve these shootings is providing guns to a larger range of ppl shows how stupid many people are. The justification is that "if the killer is serious then nothing will stop him from geting weapons" but in reality this is far too simple. How can u think that only extremely hardcore school shooters are the only ones shooting ppl? Most crime and shootings are done by normal ppl every day while school shootings are rare and isolated. If you give everybody the means to rob a store or get revenge, especially ppl in high school and college who are always under pressure, how can u think that they woulnt use the gun?

Sick. What a sick, twisted individual. I am at a loss for words.

Now the question is do u profile every quiet lonely anti social person you come across?

No, you try to talk to them and find out what's at the root of their behaviour.

If this guy had a proper circle of friends to fall back on this might never have happened.

Watching the video it seems like a, "the world didn't accept me so I'll kill a load of people"
motive

Everyone's wondering why he did this

I'm willing to bet good money that their were a fair few people on that campus that did bully this kid. While it's no excuse it's a contributing factor

 

[Justice Bringer]

They'll just get smarter now. Hide their intentions better.

It will be impossible to stop the next ones.

This is the price NBC gets for releasing the tapes, theyve given Cho exactly what he wanted.

They'll just get smarter now. Hide their intentions better.

It will be impossible to stop the next ones.

Yep.

He got the last laugh afterall.

 

[Varient]

The media coverage is only going to get worse. The "Massacre at Virginia Tech", as they call it, has just begin. They'll milk this tragedy for all it's worth, and it's horrible.

It will change when enough people stop feeding the media.

I'm saying when people concentrate on the Victims, the school, the less "flash-bang" part of the event,.. the media will stop spinning this.

he mentioned the columbine shooters and I'm pretty sure they died thinking the same way the kid did. he probably looked up to them. so i don't think he looks like a pathetic loser because somewhere out there a kid is going to look up to him as an example and copycat his ass.

 

[Justice Bringer]

Yep.

He got the last laugh afterall.

Well ya. The most interesting part is I think he knew NBC would be retarted enough to make these videos public.

This was all very elaboratly planned and he played on the stupidity of our media networks with these tapes.

I actually feel bad for all the families who are upset over the release of this footage; its really letting him win.

 

[The Kid]

Cho knew the media would portray him as a mindless monster, so that's why he sent his information directly to the media, to get his message across in his own words with a human face un-distorted by the media.

NOW there's no doubt we'll have several copy-cats and others putting this guy up as a hero to all the dorky loner kids who get the shaft in life. This, I feel, is only the taste of what we'll be seeing in the future...

 

[Justice Bringer]

because somewhere out there a kid is going to look up to him as an example and copycat his ass.

After his footage was made public, I guarantee it.

Not everyone has the same morality as others, there will always be a percentage that will find what he did inspirational...

I dont think theres anything short of metal detectors that can be used to stop them... and college campuses are huge; you cant have detectors everywhere.

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

why is everyone hating on the media?! they're doing thier jobs reporting news, no matter how you feel about it. you guys complain when the media covers BS like tom cruise and and wife and anna nichole's suicide and complain you want real news; well here it is. now stop itching about it.

 

[Justice Bringer]

Its just lame seeing the exploitive media play into his hands just as he planned it.

Theyre such predictable tools.

200 dead in bagdad yesterday.... but no one cares about that story, let's release Cho's video footage to continue to pull in viewers and drag this story out.
