Korean Killer in U.S Campus

On Monday, April 16th 2007 7:15AM, a Korean student named Cho Seung-Hui of Virginia Tech fired and killed 32 students in the campus. I stumbled upon this horrifying story online and I shocked. Someone must be seriously screwed up badly up there to be able to do something like this. Here is a cell phone video of the incident.



Thank god owning a gun in Malaysia is illegal.

What could it be to be able to have so much hatred in life? It goes to show that sometimes this world is more fucked up than you think.

Cho's classroom colleague reacts to tragedy

Stephanie Derry, a senior English major at Virginia Tech, was in a 3000 level Playwriting class with Cho Seung-Hui this spring semester taught by acclaimed professor Ed Falco.



She described Seung-Hui's conduct in classes and how all the clues had been there, but could never imagine his bizarre behavior would ever materialize into these recent destructive events.

"Cho was really, really, quiet," Derry said. "I can't even remember one word he said the entire semester."

"We were in a playwriting class together, which is a workshop class, meaning you submit your plays to everyone in it and then we all review the play in class and talk about it," Derry said.

"His writing, the plays, were really morbid and grotesque," Derry noted. "I remember one of them very well. It was about a son who hated his stepfather. In the play the boy threw a chain saw around, and hammers at him. But the play ended with the boy violently suffocating the father with a rice krispy treat," Derry said.



"He even wrote one play about students being stalked by a teacher." Derry said.

"I mean, his kind of writing was pretty peculiar, but when we asked him if he had any comments after we'd reviewed his work, he would just shrug and say nothing," Derry described.

"We made jokes around the class about his work, because it was just so fictional, so surreal, we just had to laugh," Derry said, "We had to laugh because it couldn't ever be real or truthful, I mean who throws hammers or chainsaws around?"

"But we always joked we were just waiting for him to do something, waiting to hear about something he did," Derry said. "But when I got the call it was Cho who had done this, I started crying, bawling."

"I kept having to tell myself there is no way we could have known this was coming," Derry described. "I was just so frustrated that we saw all the signs, but never thought this could happen."

When asked for comment, Falco noted he was unable to comment.

But his classroom participation, she noted, was absent.

"He was just there," Derry said. "I can't even describe it."

"He would just sit and watch us, but wouldn't say anything. It was his lack of behavior that really set him apart. He basically just kept to himself, very isolated," Derry said.

His mood, Derry described, was apparitional; no emotions whatsoever.

"I remember only once he smiled," Derry recalled. "But it wasn't very big."

When asked whether he had physical behaviors or dressed a certain way, Derry said he always wore a maroon Virginia Tech hat, but other than that usually wore jeans and a t-shirt; nothing out of the ordinary.

"When I heard the killer had been wearing a red hat," Derry said. "I immediately thought of Cho."

That is why parental role and love in shaping children is so important. We live in a world where one's life could be f@cked up since the day they were born. It is so uncalled for; and they are not at fault. Abuse and isolation from parent's loving care could create resentment or even worst psychological effects on the kid when he or she grows up.I do believe that it is due to his past. My condolences to the victim's families.

I also stumbled across a U.S citizen who said this about the massacre...

"But if we can't blame Muslims for this tragedy, then who can we blame? Even before the bodies were cold, a number of conservative bloggers already had the answer: liberals."

WTF! Helllo?? This guy is F'kin 9 racist Mr. Jon Swift
