Deadly shooting at US university

Are you autistic? He was. Also, when you have been traumatized or abused at an early age, it stunts your emotional growth. Especially depending on the severity of the abuse and when and how vulnerable the individual was at the time.

RIP Cho, finally

If he was autistic, he might have been unable to communicate well. Many autistic children have feelings of inadequacy due to their inability to socialise and feelings of being different.

And yes he was picked on a lot at school for his shyness and mumbling.
BLACKSBURG, Va. // Long before he boiled over, Virginia Tech gunman Cho Seung-Hui was pushed around and laughed at as a schoolboy in suburban Washington because of his shyness and the strange, mumbly way he talked, former classmates say.

Once, in English class, the teacher had the students read aloud, and when it was Cho's turn, he just looked down in silence, Davids recalled. Finally, after the teacher threatened him with an F for participation, Cho started to read in a strange, deep voice that sounded "like he had something in his mouth," Davids said.

"As soon as he started reading, the whole class started laughing and pointing and saying, 'Go back to China,'" Davids said.

"There were just some people who were really mean to him and they would push him down and laugh at him," Roberts said. "He didn't speak English really well and they would really make fun of him."

Yeah he was only there from the age of 8. Hardly long enough to qualify.:p

Besides he was only legal and permanent, which means he could not vote, unlike the majority of Americans.:D

Peace doesn't come to a person who kills 32 people, he condemned himself the 11th hell, and there his spirit will find no peace for eternity, he has taken to much from the world, and it must be paid for.

Evidently the world took much from him, obviously. Look at the consequences.

It's stupid to argue with a dead man, keep wishing there was a hell. Because there are many who deserve to be there including those who have abused or hurt Cho.

And that "teacher" was one of those who hurts children like that, out of ignorance, malice, or both. I know the type. They do it because they can.

personally i didnt like his creative writting, i didnt think it was very creative, rather bland if you ask my opinion, wich you didnt but i shoved down your neck anyway and you will like it :).


i didnt care for his work, i thought it was a bit strange yet not original. and mr brownstone i mean mr heroin. that was a tad gay if you ask me, people in my old school have a much higher level of writting than that at his age. but maybe thats because live in england and he is american, im not saying we are smarter than you guys, but if that is a high level of writting then maybe i am. :)



peace.

Believe it or not I was picked on in middle school for being skinny. I was my current height: 6'1 but weighed 93 pounds! I was also kinda...girly.:shrug: Of course by high school I had developed a second personality that wasn't girly at all. I never shot anyone either.

I know what you are talking about. Adults are just as easily malicious, prejudicial, and cliqueish which includes teachers. I've seen it more often as well, the teacher is usually preferential to the popular students and equally disdainful of the outcast as the other kids. As well, I've witnessed them encourage humiliation passive-aggressively. It's a gang mentality that appeals to the most base nature and common-denominator.

That's awful for you, really. I was lucky there, even with a very disinterested Dad and knowing I was a thorough disappointment to him.
Now I weigh a healthy 173.:)

Although there was some small contention those supporting the right for individuals to bear arms won conclusively. The intent was specifically to retain this right for the people as a balance against the control of the state. The National Guard is NOT the militia as conceived by the Founding Fathers, the militia was all of us.

Very nice. Thanks for the compilation. As I said, it was the intent of the founding fathers that the second ammendment apply to individuals, just like all the rest of the ammendments. The evidence is clear, if you look. I especially love the Patrick Henry quote.

i dont know what you mean. under normal circumstances cho didnt have it so bad. he was a frickin school like that university? this was not a case of hardcore abuse.

hardcore abuse? as in sitting in a white room sucking his thumb?

what would satisfy you? the fact is he was a ticking time bomb who was autistic, socially crippled, most likely been sexually assaulted and he is male, 23 years old unable to form relationships or find a girlfriend.

Stop defending this mass murderer. Any abuse he suffered was not enough. He deserved it all and more for what he did.

I see you live in fantasies. Society wants this fantasy to continue until something like this happens.

He is dead and so are the other 33, aka dead. I don't think you realize there is nothing to defend.

Again, they are dead. This will happen again until the issues of people like him are addressed. What's interesting is what people like you don't admit is that subconsciously the sacrifice of the 33 you pretend to care for is worth the lack of effort to extend understanding to this person so you can demonize empty air and still go on the way it always has been comfortable for the rest.

He wanted to live some Matrix/Halo fantasy and become famous. Oh, also, he hated "rich kids". Thats his issue.

The media shouldn't show his face and should refer to him, if at all, as "idiot numberX". Every idiot that commits a crime like this should be refered to as "idiot number X". They want fame. They want to be remembered. Take that away, and these incidents will decrease greatly.

PS For bonus points, does anyone know where this idea comes from?

Stop kidding yourself and say what you really mean, you mean the guy would just commit suicide and no loss in your perception because it's survival of the fittest even when the system is flawed and the fit who survive are grossly tainted themselves. Even though this kid may have had good qualities that present society does not and will not make allowances or changes to facilitate them. Slow murder of those who don't fit in. He didn't fit in and you want him dismissed.

Happy people are not suicidal or rail against perceived injustices nor do they kill themselves just because they hate "rich kids." That is one of the outward tangible examples he grasped to convey an issue of feeling oppressed as a young kid could only express among other issues. These fantasies were his way of coping, escapism and to feel empowered.
