Just heard anchorette report this on pMSNBC
It's just America.
Sometime after he killed two people in a dormitory but before he slaughtered 30 more in a classroom building Monday morning, Cho Seung-Hui sent NBC News a rambling communication and videos about his grievances, the network said Wednesday.
Network officials turned the material over to the FBI and said they would not immediately disclose its contents pending the agency’s review beyond characterizing the material as “disturbing.” It included a written communication, photographs and video.
The network said it would release a statement shortly.
Did he target foreigners or just a coincidence?
***Of course he did. He went to the engineering building.
Maybe.... wouldn't you? Regardless, they turned the originals over to law enforcement, as they should have.
I'm interested in the content, I find this a fascinating development. He apparently mailed this thing in the two hours between the shootings.
I'm guessing he's a sympathizer. I'd still check the local mosques to see if there is a connection.
I think that is correct, (don’t quote me,lol).
Should be interesting to get more info.
He thought NBC would treat him nicely!!
ditto that and waiting with baited breath and bullets of course
Even more interesting to find out WHO NBC told after they got the message... Or if they told anyone.
And what will be telling will be what the REST of the MSM says about NBC.
After all, EVERYBODY in the MSM promptly refused to mention that the killers at Columbine were homosexual/devil/spirit worshipers who aimed and killed primarily Christians by direct shots to their heads ...
My money’s on a martyrdom video, replete with anti-Christian rants. pMSNBC is in quite a predicament.
That explains why there are no records of him being committed
You don't need a court order for something that is voluntarily done
What *I* want to know, was *how* was this package addressed?
Was it addressed to a particular person at NBC?
Hubby said the same.
Per FoxNews, Cho mailed the packet to NBC between the time of the first shootings and the later massacre.
LATE DEVELOPMENT:
Per Brian Williams blog on MSNBC page. He says the package was received today, but they are reporting it was sent yesterday between first and second shootings. Inconsistency, coverup, you decide>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>NBC News has indeed received what I would call a “multimedia manifesto” from the gunman. We received it today, and immediately handed it over to Federal law enforcement authorities. We are still going over our own copy — its a lot of material — we are talking with law enforcement, our own standards people — and Pete Williams, our Justice Correspondent, will join me live on the broadcast to go through the material.
This is from the CNN website. Nothing about "immiment danger to others," and the order was temporary.
I wonder if they will be allowed to show the video, the copy that is.
Yes, it sounds like everyone around him was highly intimidated, except that Prof who said she continually asked him to remove his sunglasses and cap.
I’m coming into this thread from the back door, so my first thought may well have been brought up already - it’s my guess that his “manifesto”, and probably the photos were already in police hands....95% chance he composed it all on his computer, which has been in police hands since Monday.
If this is the case, what showed up at NBC is nothing new to authorities.
