Va. Tech Gunman Named
By Michael Shear and Debbi Wilgoren Washington Post Staff Writers Tuesday, April 17, 2007; 9:36 AM
Virginia Tech officials today identified the Virginia Tech student who killed 32 people and then himself on the Blacksburg campus yesterday as 23-year-old Cho Seung-Hui of Centreville.
Cho was a South Korean native who had immigrated to this country, the university announced on its Web site this morning. He was a senior majoring in English, and lived in a dorm on campus, officials said.

And (sadly) that would probably get you an “A” from any English teacher in the country.

dude, that was funny, i thought i was bent.
UNLESS,..Cho meant that Ahab (Cho’s personification) was not getting proper assistance from Ishmail and wanted to subconscioulsy kill him (ax him) for questioning his motives. Ishmail in this sense is ‘society’ not accommodating a young asian man, and through late night stretches of Grand Theft Auto and repeated commercials of Girls Gone Wild, mental paralysis of his inability to overcome his shortcomings (failure to join toastmasters), he (Cho/Ahab) strikes back at the whale (societal life at VT) driving by a the lifestyle represented in those stimuli that he has immersed himself into. Joe Francis is an accessory.
That’s the way it needs to happen:
You got your bullets, you’ve got your vest, and the guy is killing people. (Keanu: What do you do?)
By the way, sorry for your recent loss in Afghanistan. Even so, you guys are kicking ass.
LOL!
Hey, this is not the time be to a spelling and grammar nazi either.
ergo .... Lighten up Francis.
That’ll get you a 10.0 on the uneven bars.
Nice stab at it.
Where’s the “Bible Code” when you need it?
Don't know how valid this is, either....
Find someone else to pick on.
I am being pressured as we speak to pass a basically illiterate student from an English Comp course who is passing her Science courses including Micro and Anatomy. She is being given more time and open book testing to take multiple choice tests by her science profs.
She wants to enter the medical field.
She will never do it here because I will never pass her. She will have to take it with a Liberal.
Actually, it was tongue-in-cheek and being an English major myself (I was a reader for one of my professors so I’ve read my share of horrible papers), I was referring to the content and how it was convoluted to reach a particular point of view. I’ve also written my share of bullsh*t papers because I knew the kinds of things the professor was looking for. I thought it was a clever post twisting a known story to fit a theory of what happened here. Nothing more. But bless you for spending your day with some of the more radical and insane college leftists. I love literature but could never do what you do.

Then stop picking on the poster that made a misspelling ... have a nice day.
Now, you’re officially stalking me.
The misspelling was corrected hours ago, after I pointed it out once.
Are you joking? Please ....
Thanks for the update, Soldier Dad.
You have mail.
“He apparently had scrawled the words “ISMAIL AX” on the inside of one arm, according to the Chicago Tribune, which may be a reference to the Islamic account of the Biblical sacrifice of Abraham.”

Strange how we seem to need to stratify, classify, and otherwise group-identify someone.
I’d me more interested in what causes someone’s heart to be so brutal - and what to do to help stop such people before they hurt others.
Anybody checked out this blog yet?
Found some interesting stuff about Cho and his Ismail alternative name:
