“Meanwhile, nobody thinks twice about analyzing the psychological and sociological aspects of Cho's life. Is that because it becomes too personal? Would that lead to conflicting feelings of sympathy and anger towards him? Would we find answers or would it end up fruitless?”

Perhaps it is because there is no point in intellectually masturbating over a topic with absolutely no clear conclusion.

“Yes, Cho deserves much of the responsibility…”

Much? MUCH??? Cho was the nutjob that bought the guns and pulled the trigger. But I guess the “Doctor” that didn’t put him in the locked ward deserves partial blame.

Psychological tests for everyone!

What do you see in this ink blot?

Weapons of mass destruction, terrorism and Liberal baby-eaters? Ahh, you’re either a Republican or a paranoid schizophrenic.

Let’s analyze this. Judging from the type of person Cho was, wouldn’t you have made ridiculed and ostracized him too? He was weird and had no life. You wouldn’t have been his friend either.

Well of course discussion about the shooting is not over! People keep writing articles about it! Duh!

“Judging from the type of person Cho was, wouldn’t you have made ridiculed and ostracized him too? He was weird and had no life. You wouldn’t have been his friend either.”

Well, maybe if he wasn’t persecuted by the “cool people” then maybe he wouldn’t have withdrawn completely into a fantasy world. Some folks think they’re just too cool to share this existence with anyone else. I’m glad there are people like Cho running around keeping the “cool people” on their toes.

I don’t care if I turn anybody off with this post. I thought it was just plain cool what he did and I hope others like him follow.

I wasn’t one of the cool kids. I fought with the bullies, and was made fun of, and all the regular kid stuff. Difference? I shoot at artificial targets on a range, and go hunting with my guns, rather then go Grand Theft Auto on a university campus.

I’ll bet Cho knew what he was doing was moraly wrong. The difference between him and everyone else is that little part in his brain that blocks thoughts such as “I should kill them all” (and we’ve all had similar thoughts), from turning into the action of violence was broken. Much like a rabid dog, the only way to stop this behavior is either Isolate the rabid dog (broken human) early on after you start to realize something isn’t right, or you wait until it looks like someone is about to get bit, and you try to put the rabid animal down before it does to much damage (realy hard to do in a gun free zone, isn’t it?)

Analyze it all you want. Try to discover why something like this happens. Maybe you can socialy re-enginer the entire human population on this planet to avoid these problems. Or, maybe you’ll just find a new way to break even more peoples brians. Chances are though, you’ll recognize that someone is that mentaly unstable until after something horible happens.
