It emerged today that at one stage students were so scared of his behaviour that only seven out of 70 turned up for class, forcing lecturers to give him one-to-one tuition.

One teacher even suggested today he was given A grades because he was so "intimidating and staff wanted to keep him happy".

Nikki Giovanni, who teaches poetry, said she threatened to resign if Cho was not taken out of her class. She said: "I think he liked the idea he was a scary guy. Some people like that. That is how they define themselves. Kids write about murder and suicide all the time. But there was something that made us all pay attention closely.

"Students absolutely would not come into class. They said, 'He is taking photographs of us. We don't know what he is doing. It is very strange'."

YOu said it better than I.

Liberalism is destroying our kids, authority and our country.

I guess there is nothing that would not be tolerated for “diversity”.

Madness.

From personal two-year experience, Virginia Tech is eat up with liberalism. That’s why they tolerated and appeased him, because they were scared silly by him.

Political correctness will be the death of us all.

“Universities are crawling with lunatics.”

Maybe they dont expell them because the profs can be just as nuts!

WTF is wrong with this school????? You should be asking why a society would allow someone with clear mental issues to roam free. The kid was a time bomb set to explode.

[Red Badger]

Before this is all over, He will be made a “victim” and therefore the blame will be on the “American gun culture”.......

[Daus]

My first thought when I read his rambling, grammatically challenged, one act plays was I bet the prof’s gave him a passing grade. Turns out it was probably an A!

[meandog]

But, but, but, the poor little misguided lamb needed pampering because he’s was a victim, don’t you see. Liberals have made our culture a one of victims and victims (women, cross gender, bi-and-homosexuals, African-Americans, Asian-Pacific Islanders, Hispanics, Arabs < especially ones who practice Islam > other people who come from different cultures and religions) are entitled to special care. Now straight white males, on the other hand...well, they’re_____________ the $#!%$^ VICTIMIZERS < /SARC >

Virginia Tech is going to have a rough time defending itself once the lawsuits start flying.

Danged skippy they are...between this, the stalkings and the fire in the dorm room, there was NO excuse not to have kicked this kid out. The explanation from the VT officials that there was nothing they could do because he had not committed a crime yet is FALSE. Although, as I stated in another post, kicking him out could have triggered this same reaction as well, but at least the VT officials would have at least made an attempt to protect the students. Instead they did nothing but cater to this coward.

When someone is scaring kids away from a class ... 7 out of 70 students show up for a class .... there has to be a LIMIT on what is tolerated. His “work” sound like your worst nightmare. Surely with this kind of stuff as evidence something SHOULD be done to get rid of him - it doesn’t makes sense NOT to expel him. Give him a mental disability leave ... whatever ... just remove him.

Nothing but prayers are going out to his poor grief stricken parents on another thread. Barf. They had to know their kid was screwed up a long before he was enrolled at VT.

As a person who lived in a town where the family tried to get help for one of their sons and the son died in the woods of exposure I feel close to this issue. The son had a mental problem and did a lot of the things this kid did. When the family tried to put this kid in the hospital the authorities stated no he must help himself . He refused to do so. The law stated he had to do something to someone before they would do anything. The kid beat his mother and father half to death ran in the woods and died in the cold of exposure. Now where does this help this kid? if the kid got help his parents would not be heartbroken . I see them in church a lot and although it happened 4 years ago they still cry in church. If we change the laws and hospitalize these poor souls who are sick by force they can get help . There were signs just like with this kid in VT , but they were bound by liberal let them walk around laws. The kid in Vt even could buy the guns to kill . It is not that people do not want to help these people they are not allowed. The law will not let them.Unfortunately this is a true tragic story.

[Suzy Quzy]

Why the HELL wasn’t he EXPELLED???? Bring back the men with the White Coats!!

[alice_in_bubbaland]

I would also add that VT was and is afraid of the ACLU. This liberal lynch mob has everyone afraid of extended, expensive litigation.

[aShepard]

............WHY wsn’t this creep EXPELLED................

Expelled?
How did this loser ever get into V Tech?

[GVnana]

I'm am so sick and tired of these "anti-depressant" massacres...

I want Chou's doctors behind bars for murder. He was being treated for his mental illness. There wasn't anything the law could do.

He was allowed to walk free among us so that he would not be stigmatized by his illness or deprived of his "rights" by people like the rest of us who ask for the right to live.

We are basically being told we have no right to demand that homicidal maniacs be removed from our midst. We, who are unenlightened about mental illness and only selfishly concerned about our own safety and well-being.

If his doctors didn't know exactly what he was capable of, they shouldn't have a license.

After all, with only a few more of these incidents, our society can become deeply demoralized and full of misgivings. Then maybe Chou's doctors and their friends can take away our gun rights and we'll all have a nice Farenheit 451 society.

One kid froze an entire academic establishment because they were “afraid” of him. Surreal.

[Red Badger]

Gun first, man second. Psychologically a double entendre........

[dead]

Maybe they dont expell them because the profs can be just as nuts!

Absolutely! I had a pro-pornography radical feminist lesbian poetry professor who only wore the color purple. She was a loon. Plenty of others were pretty kooky.

[OKIEDOC]

Just goes to show just how the liberal teachers are politically correct and sooooooo tolerant of not offending a person of color or a minority immigrant.

This damn country and it’s out of touch universities have gone insane trying to accommodate the minority at the expense of the majority, why wasn't immigration called to deport this asshole?

Now the liberal cowards have paid the supreme price for their stupidity.
