Cho sent photos and rambling letter to NBC.

Just heard anchorette report this on pMSNBC

[tsmith130]

He writes in images that suggest he was a victim of rape as a child.

I've had the same impression. In his play, he speaks of pedophiles. Something happened to him.

[RDTF]

Thanks...I did read thru it and thought maybe it was something he was into... This nutcase kid was a loner and could have easily been a part of a cult or believed some internet jibberish.

You said — “Dubbing tends to be a real-time thing. When do you figure they were doing that?”

Hmmm..., I’m not sure what form the media took. My guess, especially if I were going to do this — would be to send it on a CD disk (or even a DVD disk). So, in the even that it’s a CD or DVD disk — you’re talking about a few minutes to copy files from one place to the other.

Oh..., wait a minute — I do remember now. It was reported that he had several *QuickTime” files (I seem to remember that report). Therefore if that’s correct, it could only be delivered on CD or DVD. And also, they would be fairly small files, because QuickTime would compress it to a fairly small size.

Shouldn’t be any problem copying everything in a matter of a few minutes...

Yea, about these pictures. Caller on Savage show noted they were perfectly centered...hard to do if someone isn’t helping you, caller noted.

I’d like to know where this kid got the money for the guns. One gun, according to receipt, was (I believe $541...didn’t he have 2 and loads of ammo? Supposedly, his family isn’t wealthy. Where did he get the money to buy these expensive weapons?

Also, something is bothering me about an interview on TV today...one of the roommates, (can’t remember the name, middle eastern), stated that he didn’t speak with Cho, but knew Cho had started “going to the gym”. Wonder why he said this...wonder if that’s where Cho was going...

I’d like to know where this kid got the money for the guns.

An earlier report (can't source it, sorry) mentioned he had a couple of credit cards which he maxed out. So, he apparently needed no cash and didn't plan to be around for the billing.

[Valpal1]

Schizophrenic with religous fixations and a martyr complex.

All sorts of pop culture and religious symbols, whirled through his own unique schizophrenic reality prism.

Tes, he was very mentally ill.

[nopardons]

He used Kleebold and the other guy, the same way that he used Jesus as being a martyr and himself.

WHY? I don't know, all I know is what I heard him say.

[advertising guy]

for now good friend, this stinks and is absolutely unresolved.Another case in point is in his writings he praises 9/11 yet no NBC talking head has stated so.........

[Thinkin' Gal]

Check the supposed return address at post 728. 88 is a neo nazi code for Heil Hitler. H is the 8th letter of the alphabet. 88 = HH. It's ADL, but here's a reference:

http://www.adl.org/hate_symbols/numbers_88.asp

Funny that this is also the abbreviation of the hall where he resided (Harper Hall). Didn't catch that until Moose mentioned the name. Sure like to be able to read that street name.

This loser was apparently on his own personal jihad whether or not he was a jihadist. He may have simply identified with any/all destructive philosophies/isms that have oozed out of the bowels of hell (communism, nazism, Islamic jihad, whatever).

[mstar]

He tried to portray himself as a Christlike figure He also said something along the lines ;you will never know the humiliation of being impaled on a cross and suffering

I heard that too. I believe I remember him comparing his death to that of Christ on the cross, then rambled on, grandiosely, to link his name to that of various known killers, martyrs, whatever came to his sick mind. I am beginning to think he used the name Ishmael/Ismail, to associate himself with the 9/11 terrorists, any attempt to link his unremarkable, miserable self with any incident recognized by our popular culture as horror.
A deadly, insane loser.
Dunno, just some thoughts, time will tell.

[nopardons]

Then be prepared to be shocked! He was NOT a Muslim and never mentioned Islam, al Qaeda, nor Mohammad in the clips shown on T.V.!

What he complained about was people who were snobs and brats, who had gold chains, Mercedes, vodka and trust funds.

[Types_with_Fist]

Very good analysis. It does seem like a mish-mash, doesn't it?

Sometimes kids who look
like "loners" belong to groups
of oddball sex nuts,

and the on-going
abuse adds to their rage and
others suffering

along with them might
help them strike out at the world
any way they can.

Before or after they called the FBI?

Naah, he probably took a lot of test pics with a digital camera until he got them the way he wanted.

I don't think he had any help with any of this. Apparently this punk never EVER talked to anybody, EVER. Either he was a complete psycho or had incredible will power. Or both.

I think we're going to learn a lot of interesting things when the cops start searching around his computer and dorm room. According to his roommates, he would sit and write on the computer for hours and hours. I wonder what he was writing?

[nopardons]

So am I.

[dragnet2]

At least the Jihadists makes some sense in the framework of their own beliefs and philosophies. This guy (the shooter) can’t even do that.

Their leaders might. However, those they get to blow themselves up, along with innocents, and other non-combatants are filled with hate, anger, and are every bit as fanatically crazy as Cho.

Actually no..., they’re not any more filled with hate than the FReepers were with Clinton and his shenanigans. In fact, I’ve seen interviews of kids (in the Palestinian Authority areas, in Israel) who are simply filled with eagerness to demonstrate their love for Allah and to gain “paradise”

Uh, I was referring to crazy people that blow up themselves and innocent people.

[chickenNdumplings]

Thank you Valpal1. I was just guessing, based on what little I know of schizophrenia. Why didn’t the psychiatrist catch it? Or did he just go to “counselors”? So tragic. This might have all been averted with a proper diagnosis and meds, right?
