Deadly shooting at US university

AOL News said:
"He was a loner, and we're having difficulty finding information about him," school spokesman Larry Hincker said.

Yea, that's to be expected. He likely wasn't an all around popular fellow.

AOL News said:
Professor Carolyn Rude, chairwoman of the university's English department, said she did not personally know the gunman. But she said she spoke with Lucinda Roy, the department's director of creative writing, who had Cho in one of her classes and described him as "troubled."

That makes sense, hell this guy must've been thinking about it for awhile.

AOL News said:
"There was some concern about him," Rude said. "Sometimes, in creative writing, people reveal things and you never know if it's creative or if they're describing things, if they're imagining things or just how real it might be. But we're all alert to not ignore things like this."

Let's hope they don't start using this as an excuse to stiple free speech.

AOL News said:
The Chicago Tribune reported on its Web site that he left a note in his dorm room that included a rambling list of grievances. Citing identified sources, the Tribune said he had recently shown troubling signs, including setting a fire in a dorm room and stalking some women.

ABC, citing law enforcement sources, reported that the note, several pages long, explains Cho's actions and says, "You caused me to do this."

Well at least he knows what caused him to go kill everybody, it was them... now what they did exactly we don't know but still he seems to. I especially like how they call his list of grievances 'rambling' as if it's unimportant. Maybe had they payed more attention to the things he listed this wouldn't have happened?!

AOL News said:
Investigators believe Cho at some point had been taking medication for depression, the Tribune reported.

AOL News said:
Jessie Ferguson, 19, a freshman from Arlington, left Newman Hall and headed for her car with tears streaming down her red cheeks.

"I'm still kind of shaky," she said. "I had to pump myself up just to kind of come out of the building. I was going to come out, but it took a little bit of 'OK, it's going to be all right. There's lots of cops around.'"

Why is she so upset? It's not like she died right... just shows you people only care when something bad happens, otherwise they're completely ignorant of those around them.
peace.

I'm not belittling this, but it's not that horrible, he got lucky in that everybody there was either just worried about themselves or ignorant of him. How blind does someone need to be not to see a gunman shooting people? It's probably something like this... he was shooting them, people saw the guy, they thought "no it's not this guy he's a loaner, nobody cares about him" then they turn to look for the shooter and they're surprised.

Anyway I'm bored, I can't believe they're already having a memorial service for these people it's not even been 3 days for christ sakes.
 
Everyone will probably disagree with me on this :

Guns do not kill people.......
People kill people .........

Either USA ban guns for private persons ....not very likely .......
or all teachers get a "special education in deadly firearms" ..... and are allowed to carry concealed guns in class...........

Could probably also help on the class discipline in general , knowing that your teacher is armed ......:rolleyes:
Anyway , just a thought .......:m: :p
 
if those students were armed with pistols, maybe a nice desert eagle or something,

they would have had a chance to save some lives, :)

i say if your gonna arm a populous why not let them actualy carry the guns where they might need them. most people get shot outside of the home statistics show,


so having the gun at home in most cases will protect nobody. either that or dont sell guns to your population in the first place,


did this guy use clean or dirty guns?


peace.

No, actually it was nothing like that at all.
They were locked in a classroom with him.
The ones that got away were the ones who jumped out the window.
Try reading the articles beofre you jump to your harsh, baseless judgements of people who were killed.
Just like your bullshit, baseless judgement that they were all self-absorbed rich kids who think they are so smart - as if that is all who go to college.

You sound like a pathetic whining brat who is jealous because he never finished school.
Was it because you couldn't afford it, or was the work too difficult for you?

i dont disagree with that, if the teachers had guns they would have been able to save some lives. (not the killers obviously)

According to one article I read, he had a recipt for them in his backpack, but the numbers were filed off, so it looks like he bought them legally and filed the numbers off himself.

Doesn't seem very bright to me.
 
The next step is a wall around campus/university area - one entrance only ...
through a metaldetector ........:m: :p
 
i thought most schools in the usa have metal detectors because alot of your kids are screwed up and go on killing sprees with guns.

they are putting metal detectors in schools in london now,

peace.
 
it seems in the uk people kill other people for a "reason" like actualy target anouther person they have a dispute with or a score to settle, or over drug turf or something like that.

but in the usa you have some wierd little boys who kill anybody and everybody they can see, on a huge rampage then they always take themselves out in suicide,

you guys have one screwed up country im glad we dont have people that crazy over here. i know we have some idiots, but nothing like these type of massecres you guys must be doing something wrong.


maybe its because you let your kids play with guns from an early age, like that little 8 year old at the NRA convention, they actualy let little kids go to nra meetings with guns on display?

peace.
 
Empty F of Chi .
I am NOT from USA ............ I am from Denmark in Europe , and as far as I know , there has NEVER been a shooting incident in our schools here ........

Kids are not allowed to have guns here .........only mature mentally stabile adults .........

Peace :m: :p
 
If only mature mentally stabile adults had guns , then the problem might not be so grave ................. and the guns locked up, when the kids are alone at home ............:m: ;)
 
This will not help, all humans are unstable, it just takes certain triggers to cause this instability to come out.
 
sputnik i wasnt implying your from the us :)

and raven yeah i know other countrys do it too, but usa seems to be the worst for teenagers going on shooting sprees.

wow germany is just as nuts as the states! i wouldent have guessed, ok german kids and american kids are the most screwed up hands down :)


why do they always shoot themselves afterwords?

oh yeah and just a little idea here i will make a thread about it afterwards, you know people give excuses for certain acts due to chemical imbalence, and they get away with it and dont end up bieng persecuted or looked down upon because they have a "chemical imbalence" or issue witht here brain so its not there "fault" say psyco killers rapists and other criminals have a chemical imbalence and it is not there fault entirely (lets just say) how could they be judged differently from those who are pittied for having something wrong with them, like if a certain part of the brain is responsible for "humane acts of kindness" and that part is badlt damaged, is it really there "fault".





peace.
 
I think it's pretty simple - there should be NO guns. Unarmed people, unarmed police force. If you think about it, America allows people to carry guns for their protection from other people who have guns who only have guns because America allows people to carry guns for their protection...blah, blah, blah, etc. etc. etc. It makes completely no sense.
