Anyone who believes that a shooting people with a game controller is even remotely equivalent to live fire with a pistol is grossly misinformed.

Yes, of course. But I was commenting on the posters mention of the "body count game", and thinking about how he was relating to it psychotically. I also mentioned, and believe, that Cho had had some live fire training and was quite effective in delivering deadly fire (targeting, accuracy). It would be interesting to know what Cho was doing when not on campus (reportedly quite often). Could he have been practicing off site? Were any others involved?

I'm still puzzled by the coincidental appearance of a Palestinian student taking video and audio of the actual massacre. In his own words, he ran towards the gunfire, not away from it, then became a media star for a day because of it.

Wow. First time I've heard of this.

they are attempting to do it because he gave it to them. That’s assuming he only sent it to them, and it’s the only existing copy.

First of all, his parents live in a 500k house. It may be “average” in the part of the world where he grew up, but certainly they have disposable income. Secondly, $541 really isn’t that much money if you are planning on dying soon anyway. Third, ever heard of a credit card?

No, it is extremely hard to diagnose correctly and even harder to treat because of their messed up brain chemistry and their disinclination to take meds which often have not nice side effects. Plus they frequently believe your purpose is to poison them.

Mostly, at first interview they seem depressed. You have to spend time with them over a period of time to realize that their physical and mental perceptions are uniquely crazy. They do not experience and percieve the physical world the same as the rest of us.

I’m convinced that this kid simply snapped under the weight of the brain-washing that goes on at colleges.

When I first clicked on RDTF’s link, the quotation on the left referenced Klebold and Harris. It really caught my attention, so I read on...

This Ishmael philosphy involves topics like:

“Food Production And Human Population Growth.”

“Human population numbers as a function of food supply”

“The oil we eat: following the food chain back to Iraq - Essay, by Richard Manning”

Twenty years ago, I was a freshman biology student at a major university and I switched my major because I couldn’t handle all the doom and gloom about Non-Sustainable Population Growth. The conclusion was always that we were doomed and it was all our own fault. Human population must decline according to the professor.

What we have here is a real life, home-grown leftist terrorist!

You said — “Before or after they called the FBI?”

To be on the safe side, I would say to call them first, then copy. As to which order they did it in, I couldn’t tell you. It wouldn’t have made any difference one way or another — but for a few minutes. The authorities could never get there that fast anyway.

It's NOTHING like suicide bomber videos. No mention of Allah, no mention of Palestinians, OBL, the WOT, or even President Bush. And don't say that NBC cut all of that out...it's not in there, it's not in his plays, and you're reaching.

How's this work for you?

Oh, yeah, there's NO Islamic connection! And you know this how? Did you film this guy? No? Then you have NO IDEA what NBC cut out of this video and what they didn't!

What we are hearing are the words of the spirit of evil, of the father of lies.

Yes. This soul was given over.

I think you are close....it will be interesting to see a report of his travels over the last few years....that is if we, the public, get to see the report....also, I wonder if he was qualified for admittance to the college, or was he given a’minority’ preference...it strikes me that he was in over his head with the course load

he submitted it to them. The fine print usually says news submitted for free to NBC etc becomes their intellectual property.

No mention of Allah, no mention of Palestinians, OBL, the WOT, or even President Bush.

Since everything about him is obviously revealed on NBC's selected snippets of video, which part of his rant addresses the meaning of "Ismail Ax"? I must have missed it.

Oops, I forgot to mention that another student or professor with a concealed weopon might have stopped or reduced the final body count quite a bit.

Mental illness happens, since the courts won’t keep them locked up, people should be prepared to deal with them when they turn “rabid”.

I was wondering exactly what you stated....why did they fail to mention what specific religion. I’d lay odds that, had he been a Southern Baptist, they would have said so.
