This kid would have have been a 9th-grader when Columbine went down. He’s probably been dreaming about his own “nerd’s revenge” since then.

Sound more to me like he had a thing against Rich kids. Rejection probably. Explains the stalking of the girl. Rejection, Anger, rage, murder.

That's the Rudy part of your brain talking... ;)

I’m going to go way out on limb here and predict a flurry of lawsuits against pharmaceutical companies. I know, I know, how could I possibly forsee such an unlikely thing, but trust me.

I just realized that yesterday was also Holocaust Remembrance Day, which was mentioned in connection with that brave Israeli engineer who gave his life to save his students.

Another coincidence?

Sulejman Talovic, who shot and killed people at a mall recently, also came to America when he was a child.

Anger against the “rich” is a tell-tale sign that he was gotten to by liberal professors.

Also this week was the 8 year anniversary of Columbine! Coinky Dink?

Why the students did not bull rush this POS is beyond me. A few would have been shot, but very few.

Since Cho seems to be filling in every stereotype I’m going to go one further and guess that he had typical Korean parents: stiff and unaffectionate with ridiculously high standards when it comes to academic achievement and “honor”.

I think it’s the April 15th (17th) IRS effect.

Everybody likes to think they would be a hard ass in this situation, but until some psycho bursts into your German class on a sleepy Monday morning we’ll never know.

This shakes me. A young man, a young Korean who looks a lot like this young man, fell for my daughter in Middle School. His obsession for her grew over the years and it evolved into frightening phone calls. I finally went to the principal who, fortunately, took immediate action. You just never know what these situations can grow into.

Whatever drug he was on, if any, this much is certain: If just one sane teacher or sane student had been carrying a concealed weapon, the killer could have been shot long before he took so many lives and wounded so many others. Just one normal person with a weapon could have saved most of the others.

The psychiatrists don’t really know what will happen when they prescribe drugs. They are just guessing, playing with lives, and the consequences have often been fatal. Too often, the “cure” is worse than the mental imbalance.

"Did this guy not have roommates?"

There is a thread on FR where his roommate was interviewed by somebody (CNN?) 19 yr. old who said Cho was a weirdo who usually ignored anything said or replied with one word answers, at best.

Fear! First thing a person does when the brain is in fear mode is freeze and then take flight! Unless you have military training or law enforcement training you will either freeze up or take flight - that is what usually happens to the untrained brain. These are students not military or cops. Its easy for us to sit here at our computers and think of what we would have done but if we were in the same you don’t know for sure.

Well, the last couple of hijack attempters got the living shiite beat out of them, so that’s a good sign.
