Whoever went all the way to Korea to drag old grandparents into the sensational, is sick themselves.
If he grew up in such poverty, and could not have special attention, how could he afford college. If he was provided with a grant or some other scholarship, you mean that he was never tested or otherwise assessed? I don’t get it!!
Also, their sincerity aside, could this be because South Koreans are somewhat expecting or anticipating a backlash against Koreans similar to the spate of anti-Americanism which cropped up in South Korea after two children were accidentally run over by American soldiers?
It's the Federal government's fault. Also known as B.F. (Bush's Fault) If we only had federal healthcare for all then this poor boy could have been taken care of and 32 other lives would have been saved. But this is what we got when we rejected Hillary's healthcare plan... < /sarcasm >
I wondered about autism when it was revealed that the kid had never really "talked" to anyone at anytime in his life.
I was thinking he had some public assistance to get into college and if that’s the case there ought to be some qualifiers attached to that... like a basic background check... right??? Or does just any Joe Shmoe come up an ask for money and get it handed to him gratis, no matter what???
Yes, and was his High School honest in the reports it must have provided to VT? And what H.S. teachers wrote letters of recommendation? Did they lie?
How does having a sister who went to Princeton fit into this story/description?
I am beginning to suspect that there were quite a few “breakdowns” in the system. This kid was shuffled right on through because nobody wanted to deal with him. That also might explain why his “plays” looked like the work of a deranged 12-year old.
Now there’s some cultural diversity for ya!
Interesting. Never thought of it that way. The South Korean Left exploited the bodies of those children, and now Koreans are wondering if anyone will do the same here. It’s plausible.
Somebody on another thread brought up Asperger’s Syndrome. I wonder.

The interesting thing was that he was (according to at least one report I saw) carrying a 4.0 GPA, and on track to graduate in a month, which amazes me given the lack of quality of the plays he wrote.

Check this article out:
About halfway down the article it says that some teachers gave him A’s because they were afraid of him.
I think you’re looking too deep. Asians are very family oriented. If you do something to disgrace your family, the family disowns you, very unlike Johnny Talibans parents.
“If he grew up in such poverty, and could not have special attention, how could he afford college. If he was provided with a grant or some other scholarship, you mean that he was never tested or otherwise assessed? I don’t get it!!”
the public school system is full of special needs services.
Testing - individual educational plans (IEPs) - specialized classes.
If the parents couldn’t help, certainly Cho must have raised red flags at school with his teachers.
There’s something very fishy about this story.
Huh? You think this papa-san is spinning a story here? Get a grip.
Great....now those with autism will be fearing a “backlash”. /sarc
