Please don’t play Freud without a license.

Just google Emily Facebook. It’s like the fifth or sixth entry down from the top.

You need to back away from this thread, IMHO.

If you decide not to do so, as is your right, I will enjoy your richly deserved zotting.

re: Folks have a right to engage in social interaction)))

Who's talking about rights? I'm talking about a bad habit people--young people, esp--have gotten into. It's a kind of recklessness. A right to be reckless? Sure.

Like I said, I really hate this internet habit that people have started, being reckless with their own privacy.

[Mamzelle]

I guess we’ll see when they look up his surfing history.

What a pretty girl, so, so sad. Prayers for her family and friends.

well duh - “less” isn’t really an option

[pollyannaish]

On who...you are the deranged young man?

Listen, your statement clearly indicates that you are looking for what caused this slaughter. A deranged young man did. Period. ANYTHING could have set him off. To look to the victims for an explanation is a denial of the responsibility of the gunman.

It is EXACTLY the same thing as asking the US “Why did those Al Quaeda Islamists go off on you?” Perfection is not required for one to be the victim of evil. If it was, we would all be completely responsible for whatever happens to us. Most of the time we are, but there are times when we are not.

[pollyannaish]

Oops! That first “are” should be an “or.”

Yikes. Sorry.

she was 18... 18 year-olds do things like that.

"Who's talking about rights?

I am. They have a right to post their pics and notes w/o being bothered.

"I'm talking about a bad habit people--young people, esp--have gotten into. It's a kind of recklessness."

It's only wreckless if one's in the spy business, in some witness protection program, or undercover. Most folks don't want to live life in hiding.

think the killer stalked her he never dated her - never was her girlfriend.

You know this as fact?

I will look for the story for the link but I read somewhere earlier that Emily's new boyfriend had just dropped her off at her dorm when Cho found her at her room. Her Myface page talked of her new boyfriend and it wasn't Cho.

I guess I meant Facebook.

Update: Mary K e-mails to say that someone who appears to have been friends with Emily Hilscher (judging from the candid photos they have access to) has posted a message on Facebook denying that Hilscher was involved with Cho in any way. I’d bet anything she’s right. Follow the link and scroll down for the screencap.

"Good God almighty, can't we just say what not everyone really knows what we're talkin' about here, huh? You just don't put tattoo's that close to your, uh, geniteralia."

[spunkets]

The post is right. Everyone has commented the same. All the notes about Cho, said he had no friends, because of his own doing. Even his room mate was unable to get him to talk, or give more than one word answers.

[no dems]

If one other person in that dorm would have had a concealed handgun permit (like they do in Texas) and a loaded gun, when the perp busted in, the number of dead would have been a lot smaller.

[Mamzelle]

How absurd. There is a wide gulf between posting one's pretty face (and a charming bio!), name on the internet and hiding--

And yes, you're the one talking about rights. It's your issue, not mine. You addressed your post to me as if *I* was talking about rights, when I was commenting on this alarming practice of "advertising" one's self online. They has the right to be reckless. I wish they would stop, but that's not the same as passing a law.

I don't know the extent of what Emily H posted about herself--but I wish young people would stop posting personal biographies that a large population (frequently it includes an entire campus) can view.

[jdm]

she was 18... 18 year-olds do things like that.

Which is why we need the UN to control the internet starting in 2009.

/sarcasm :O)

I don’t think it is at all out of the rhelm of imagination that he was besotted with her and she hardly knew he existed. His mind was pretty twisted (from reading the manuscript he wrote). I think digging into this girl is pretty twisted myself, since she was nothing but a young college student just beginning to live life. She didn’t ask to be murdered by this slime.
