Looks like this guy had a HISTORY....:

April 17, 2007
Ismail Ax?

The Virginia Tech shooter had a history of odd behavior, and his professors had gone so far as to recommend him for counseling, the Chicago Tribune reports this morning. Seung-hui Cho left behind a note that blamed the "debauchery" of "rich kids" for his shooting spree, and had the words "Ismail Ax" written on his forearm when he died:

The suspected gunman in the Virginia Tech shooting rampage, Cho Seung-Hui, was a troubled 23-year-old senior from South Korea who investigators believe left an invective-filled note in his dorm room, sources say.

The note included a rambling list of grievances, according to sources. They said Cho also died with the words "Ismail Ax" in red ink on the inside of one of his arms.

Cho had shown recent signs of violent, aberrant behavior, according to an investigative source, including setting a fire in a dorm room and allegedly stalking some women.

A note believed to have been written by Cho was found in his dorm room that railed against "rich kids," "debauchery" and "deceitful charlatans" on campus.

Ernest, I’ve listened to much, and read lots, about this today. It’s particularly telling to me that Cho’s creative writing professor singled him out of probably hundreds of other students for a counseling referral. IF it was that obvious, why did it take so long for the police to figure out what was going on and who was responsible?

I think this Cho fella was suffering paranoid-schizophrenic onset. I don’t say that as an excuse, but merely as an observation. He was a loner, delusional, had a persecution complex, was obviously violent, and he was the right age. Now, it really doesn’t matter much whether he was on meds or not, except maybe a lot of college kids would still be alive if he had been.
