Killed on Holocaust remembrance day. Talk about a tragic irony.

Apparently there were several indications he was threatening and capable. After reading that I just cannot understand how someone like him was allowed to purchase a gun.


Some key points:

[quote:db112]State police, meanwhile, revealed that in December 2005, Cho was declared "mentally ill and in need of hospitalization" and posed "an imminent danger," according to a temporary detention order issued by a Virginia district court.

In November and December 2005, two women complained to campus police that they had received calls and computer messages from Cho, but they considered the messages "annoying," not threatening, and neither pressed charges, Virginia Tech Police Chief Wendell Flinchum said.[/quote:db112]

[quote:db112]Around the same time, one of Cho's professors informally shared some concerns about the young man's writings, but no official report was filed, Flinchum said.[/quote:db112]

[quote:db112]Court documents show that on Dec. 13, 2005, a Montgomery County District Court judge ordered Cho undergo mental evaluation at Carilion St. Albans Hospital.

The judge issued an order temporary detention order on the grounds that Cho was "mentally ill and in need of hospitalization, and presents an imminent danger to self or others as mental illness, or is seriously mentally ill as to be substantially unable to care for self, and is incapable of volunteering or unwilling to volunteer for treatment."[/quote:db112]

[quote:db112]The disclosures about Cho's past run-ins with authorities added to the rapidly growing list of warning signs that appeared well before 23-year-old student Cho went on his rampage. Among other things, Cho's twisted, violence-filled writings and sullen, vacant-eyed demeanor had disturbed professors and students so much that he was removed from one English class and was repeatedly urged to get counseling.[/quote:db112]

[quote:db112]Professors and classmates were alarmed by his class writings — pages filled with twisted, violence-drenched writing.

"It was not bad poetry. It was intimidating," poet Nikki Giovanni, one of his professors, told CNN.

"I know we're talking about a youngster, but troubled youngsters get drunk and jump off buildings," she said. "There was something mean about this boy. It was the meanness — I've taught troubled youngsters and crazy people — it was the meanness that bothered me. It was a really mean streak."

Giovanni said her students were so unnerved by Cho's behavior, including taking pictures of them with his cell phone, that some stopped coming to class and she had security check on her room. She eventually had him taken out of her class, after threatening to quit if he wasn't removed.

Lucinda Roy, a co-director of creative writing at Virginia Tech, said she tutored Cho after that. She said she tried to get him into counseling in late 2005 but he always refused.

"He was so distant and so lonely," she told ABC's "Good Morning America" Wednesday. "It was almost like talking to a hole, as though he wasn't there most of the time. He wore sunglasses and his hat very low so it was hard to see his face."

Roy also said she arranged to use a code word with her assistant to call police if she ever felt threatened by Cho, but she said she never used it.[/quote:db112]

You're a piece of shit elstat. You always have been, but this proves it.

[elstatec]

[Chronic Diarrhea]

I'm not offended, because I don't allow myself to be offended, but you're basically shitting on a man who possibly saved many lives.

[dr nein]

Technically the kill count would have likely been the same since he probably used up all his ammo before wasting himself.

Trip, i totally agree with you. I was thinking the same thing......how does someone who committed themselves for mental observation acquire a legal gun. Boggles the mind.

[Douchetallica]

He could of built a bomb, placed fatal poison in the cafeteria food, chain up the outside of a dorm/school and start it on fire, release butane gas inside the dorms at night, etc..., what difference does it make what weapon he used.

Someone made reference earlier in this thread to 9/11... "should planes be banned" because the terrorist used them.

[Unknown_Sniper]

your argument, if that even is one, makes no sense.
