Liberal media about to report he was picked on by white lacrosse players in high school.
Everyone gets picked on in school. It’s part of growing up. You grow a thick skin ya don’t go and blow away 32 folks.
“I was picked on in high school...” So was I and a lot of other people were also. That didn’t mean we had to take our frustration out on others by committing mass murder.
You'd be expelled for that today. There's zero tolerance for violence, but apparently no zero tolerance for the bullying and teasing that leads up to it.
He totally sounds like Napolean Dynamite.
More nonnews. Fill in the name of each of his victims or each of the others on campus and you probably have a true statement.
Cho is a murderer and a coward who offed himself rather than be taken or killed by the police.
Has anyone been able to decipher the return address on Cho’s envelope. It’s 88 (scribble). His address on campus was 3250 something or other when he was committed in 2005.
See, I knew all along it was someone else’s fault.
/ooooozing sarcasm
Contemptible %&$#%@*(&^%$#@...
Well in my case my Irish temper saved me. Four or five months into the school year of relentless teasing and bullying, we were in the classroom for lunch on a rainy day and a couple of them started pushing me. My fingers got pinched between two desks and I just unloaded on the guy. Teacher separated us. Bully told me to meet him after school. That was when I discovered he didn't know how to fight, so I proceeded to beat the crap out of him until my mother arrived and pulled me off him.
I got a whole lot of respect from everyone after that. Learned an important life lesson too.
I never once felt like gunning down a classroom.
He chose to see the ugliness in life rather than the positive. For every action there is a negative and a positive way to view it. He saw the negative, by choice I might add as most people by that age can realize this.
When someone bullies you, you can see it at lack or respect or you can see it as someone drowning in fear using you as support.
Some may say, “Well how can everything have a positive view? How can the holocaust for example have a positive view?”...The answer is it`s that positive view that saved millions of lives. People like Simon Wiesenthal who survived 4 and a half years in three different concentration camps (read that again, that is FOUR AND A HALF) years solely because he only focused on the positive of bringing Nazis to justice, and he did.
That they blame what this punk did on “Mental illness” or “bullying” is complete BULL! He chose his path and I find it quite ironic that he mentions “spoiled rich kids” as his reason for this...It seems to me the only one who was spoiled was him. He didn`t like it that his cowardice wasn`t supported so he lashed out like a baby does when he smashes his toys and stamps his feet.
Yeah, well, according to that dingbat presidential-wannabe Obama, it's society's fault we didn't talk to him or be nice to him, or resisted the temptation to make fun of the way he talked, like he had a mouthful of marbles, by giving him a boost to his ego and saying "You've got a future in RADIO reading NEWS! You'll go a long way bro! Your voice is so clear, I can practically hang onto every syllable you enunciate!"
I have no love lost for bullies. They are scum. If they don’t get a good kick in the butt, they’ll never learn.
And that includes Cho. From victim he became the worst type of bully, one that takes a life.
I'm not saying Cho-the-psycho was justified in what he did. The bullying only enhanced and encouraged the psychotic ravings in his mind. Too bad people were too cruel to notice and get a counselor involved when it could have made a difference.
I was bullied in school being the smallest girl in the class. What stopped it was when my circle of friends told the bully that if she hit me, she would have to fight all of us. That stopped it, but today, we'd be labeled "gang members" and expelled.
Common sense solutions or taking matters into your own hands are not encouraged in today's schools. Tell the teacher or the principal and they only make life worse for you. More kids suffer in silence more often than not. No wonder kids beg their parents to be homeschooled.
Until the root cause of bullying is addressed, we are going to see more shootings. The bullying today is not like it was when we went to school. Some of it is downright terroristic in their threats.
“or resisted the temptation to make fun of the way he talked, like he had a mouthful of marbles, by giving him a boost to his ego and saying “You’ve got a future in RADIO reading NEWS”!
Hey, he coulda worked for AIR AMERICA!!! Or maybe NPR!!!
Gee, if they’d only have done a lockdown after the first two murders until they had some clue, maybe checked to see who was a problem at school...?! Like the guy the teacher refused to teach, or the guy who signed in as questionmark, or the guy with the stalker record... Then in two days the answer would’ve come in the mail!
What was that place where you treat people who aren’t right in the head and keep them from harming themselves and others?
Oh yeah! Mental institutions!
Now whose bright idea was it to shut them all down?
Kids pick on other kids. The more they cringe, the more they get picked on. As soon as they stand up for themselves, the “bullies” tend to back off. Bullies are essentially cowards.
I have NO sympathy for this loser—and that’s what he was, a big, pimply loser who wouldn’t get it together and make a life for himself. (The rest of his family seemed to have turned out ok, he could have, too.)
