"He Was Creeping Me Out" (VTech killer Cho hired escort)
Most press reported the killer took ''pictures'' of the students that made them uncomfortable. Not quite. He ''was taking photographs of their legs and knees under the [girls'] desks with his cell phone.''
School says its options were few despite his troubling behavior
I wouldn't necessarily call Cho a "nerd." His own relatives said he was quiet as a child. He was probably "damaged goods" from the beginning.
Ping!
At least it appears he did lust after appropriate aged *female* blonds, red heads, brunettes and raven haired beauties, and not young boys like certain CongressCritters.
The supine behavior of school and students appalls me. If anybody took pictures of the knees of my sweet, feminine, pretty 19-year-old daughter, she'd bust him to the ground and jump up and down on his face with her riding boots. Hard to imagine girls putting up with this, or not getting their boyfriends to beat Cho up.
No one cared enough to do anything, from his parents on down. No one wanted to do the “hard” thing, and take action.
Tis the good liberal way.
To coddle terrorist of all kinds everywhere.
Regarding “shooter” vs. “killer.”
I’m all for holding the media accountable for doublespeak, but getting worked up about this is just silly.
A writer’s goal should be to brevity - to be concise and clear.
“Shooter” explains the method, “killer” leaves ambiguity. I can scarcely see how anyone would think that either term has positive implication.
Porn is bad ping
This is very strange
language! Lots of impotent
cowardly nerds don't
go on killing sprees.
I suspect Cho's defining
characteristic
will be something like
a fragmented mind from years
of sex abuse as
a child. Name calling
doesn't help understand him
or stop more like him.
“Erototoxin” is a really helpful piece of terminology.
I agree with your comment concerning her name-calling. However, I’m not so sure he was sexually-abused.
the kids did rebel - they refused to come to class until Cho was removed.
The teacher rebelled too...refused to teach Cho, so the department was forced to decide what to do with him.
Showing complete lack of backbone they “tutored” him and awarded him a 4.0 instead of removing him from campus.
Cho had an imaginary girlfriend named Jelly that seemed so real to him that he once shooed his roommates away because “Jelly” was present.
He clearly was nuts. The mental health group dropped the ball big time by not committing him.
The university dropped the ball by not removing him from campus.
They knew he was suicidal - but looked the other way.
this is not the best analysis of cho.
I’ve been wondering about something ever since this happened.
The guy was an English literature major. Nowadays, that means that he was assigned to read all kinds of nihilistic, sexually degrading, anti-Western stuff. My guess is that the “disturbing” stuff he wrote was nothing more than a bad imitation of some of the stuff he had been assigned. I wonder how much the curriculum of the English department contributed to his actions.
Why do you arrange all your posts in a long column of short lines as though they were poetry? No offense intended, just curious.
No, it is definitely an incomplete analysis. But I do think she makes a lot of good points.
He's doing haiku. It's pretty clever, actually.
Hat’s off to your haiku.
You are inspirational.
We need more like you.
Oh, is he? I didn’t notice the pattern. I guess it may be clever, but I can’t help but think he has some time on his hands.
