The events of Monday have been weighing down on me this entire week, and I feel I need to vent. Everyone knows the story. 32 dead innocent people ranging in age from 18 to 75. People with families, brothers, sisters, children, parents, wives, husbands who were probably doing the simplest and safest of activities possible when their lives were abruptly ended by a 23 year old professional piece of shit who we’ll call Cho.
Let’s get something straight, I am not hear to draw attention to Cho’s actions or his life in a manner that will glorify the little cock. The fact is, you take a gun, car, electric razor…. whatever your weapon of choice is - and end 32 people’s lives - well you are going to get attention. That’s just a fact. Hitler got a lot of attention too. Good for him. Hell, every American knows who Osama Bin Laden is, (and coincidentally he was runner-up for the award about to be given this year after taking first place in the last 5 years running) and he’s a professional piece of shit well beyond the years of Cho. But sometimes pieces of shit get free press and publicity too, even if it’s often posthumously.
I have a magnet on my refrigerator that reads as such:
“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. But when life gives you limes, make margaritas!”
I love that magnet. In my personal view, it basically means that life is hard. Sometimes life is harder than other times, but overall it can be a struggle. Certain things make life easier… good friends, family, alcohol and lots of sex definitely come to mind. But sometimes even those things are few and far between as to being with our grasp. Those are the times that test people the most and show what they are truly made of. They distinguish themselves amongst their peers, and when the going get’s tough - the ones who fight off the inner demons to ultimately succeed are the ones who achieve greatness.
Shakespeare was quoted as saying “Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.”
Unfortunately - not everyone can or is great. Shakespeare’s quote should have read the previous, but added the following addendum:
“But some people are afraid of greatness. So rather than try to achieve even mediocrity, they go the opposite direction. They are born pieces of shit, and they perpetuate the piece of shit status by thrusting it on everyone else around them until ultimately their legacy is being the biggest piece of shit ever.”
Somehow it’s easy to see how magnanimous Shakespeare was while my words will remain quoteless for time and eternity, but hopefully you get my point.
Cho was and is that piece of shit. He was the guy that when the going got tough, he blamed the people around him. He was the guy too dumb to talk to women, so instead of reading a good book like Neil Strauss’ “The Game: Penetrating the Underground Society of the Professional Pick-Up Artist” and learning how to talk to women, he instead stalked them, cursed them, and eventually shot them in the head. Cho was the guy who made himself friendless by being an anti-social vegetable in his apartment and classes, wearing sunglasses and keeping his head down to justify the fact people didn’t want to speak to him.
But Cho didn’t stop there. He couldn’t accept just being a piece of shit. He wanted eternal piece of shit status. He wanted to make sure everyone knew his name, all those friends he never did a thing for and then wondered why they weren’t his, all those girls he masturbated to in his closet and then wondered why they never slept with him, and all those teachers who called him crazy and didn’t see his true genius of being a piece of shit. So he went out, bought a gun, contrived a plan, took pictures, wrote a manifesto, interviewed himself on video, killed some people, went to the Post Office, and then ended 30 more lives before doing us the one favor we all now, in retrospect, wish he did first.
Maybe he didn’t realize that suicide would have left a legacy that at least his parents could live with. But now, Mr. Seung Hui, Sr. will be forced to take his own life to not bear the shame his son brought upon his family. Cho - you just killed your dad. Way to go asshole.
So in summary, 2007 World’s Biggest Pussy Award goes to Cho Seung Hui. You proved very simply that you cannot handle the difficulties that life throws at people. You proved that when a roadblock got in the way of your goals, you always chose the easy way out. You killed your dad whether he knows it now or not - no man can live with that much guilt. Way to go again asshole. You proved to be a bigger piece of shit than even the kid who spit on you in high school thought you were. Some legacy dickhead.And guess what - you did it all while taking 32 people with you. 32 people who were achieving greatness. 32 people who didn’t take the easy way out. 32 people who kept going instead of caving in when times were tough.May you rot in hell while being ritually sodomized with a large cheese grater while getting endless blowjobs from a school of piranhas. Here’s Cho in full blown piece of shit biggest pussy glory
I’m going to sound like a real asshole here…
but were you serious about his dad? does he really have to kill himself now too?
well anyway, I pray for all of them. Everyone prays for the victims, but you must include the gunman. He was obviously very very sick and mentally ill.
I agree with you and I am by far not any bleeding heart that thinks everyone in the world that has mental illness needs help and are without blame….this guy was beyond wacko..a judge certified him as such..he slipped through all the right cracks..so I feel for the entire situation..and kudos to Charlton Heston for keeping his fucking mouth shut right now..or is he dead?
I don’t know if I could live with that shame - and I would think it would be even stronger in an asian culture, but that is my assumption. If he does go on living, I hope it is a lifetime of servitude to mankind. The sins of the son reflect the sins of the father. It was his job to raise him, to get him help, to protect people from him if he was violent. I’m not saying he didn’t try. I am saying somehow he didn’t do enough and he is responsible in many many ways.
But then again, we live in a world that lacks any responsibility for anything. It’s always someone elses fault, so why the fuck should he take responsibility.
You can hold me to this, but if my son went out and did this, I would put a gun to my head OR I would live my life from that day on with no material possession, giving all I had to the families of the victims and spending all my time making up for what my child did.
Call me crazy, but I don’t hate Cho. I feel sorry for him. I feel sorry for his suffering through what was clearly very severe mental illness. I feel sorry that no one reached out to help him when all the signs were there. I feel sorry that he never knew what joys life could bring. I feel sorry that his soul will never rest in peace and is eternally doomed to hell or purgatory or whatever it is you believe.
I think that maybe one kind person could have made a difference. I pity that part of him that lived because I know how bleek life can look. The part of him that thought this was the only option..I believe he was a pussy. His anger and hatred destroyed hundreds, if not thousands, of lives.
I don’t believe that he wanted someone to help him or befriend him, he wanted infamy. I feel sympathy towards his family and all the harassment they will endure because of this.
This is a somber week for the United States as it marks the anniversaries of the bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City and the shootings at Columbine High School in Colorado. All senseless acts of violence that ended lives that were achieving greatness. I hope a day will come when all the people affected by these acts of violence will find peace.
I understand why you say he killed his dad….his dad runs a cleaners….its not like anyone is going to go and continue to support that family knowing what the son did…People judge …thats human nature…this shit is just sad…I pray for Chos family…and for the victems….
I would like to give credit after the fact to the family’s statement, in which they put their pain last and the pain of the victims first. I saw this off of MSNBC.com and the fact the sister of the gunman read all 32 victim’s names makes me feel a little better. I would be interested to hear the parents speak. I’d be interested to what they have to say.
BLACKSBURG, Va. - The family of Virginia Tech gunman Seung-Hui Cho said Friday that they felt “hopeless, helpless and lost” and “never could have envisioned that he was capable of so much violence.”
“Our family is so very sorry for my brother’s unspeakable actions. It is a terrible tragedy for all of us,” the family said in a statement issued by Cho’s sister, Sun-Kyung Cho.
Seung-Hui Cho, 23, an English major, killed 32 people and committed suicide Monday at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in the deadliest shooting rampage in modern U.S. history.
Naming all 32 victims, the statement said: “We pray for their families and loved ones who are experiencing so much excruciating grief. And we pray for those who were injured and for those whose lives are changed forever because of what they witnessed and experienced.”
Wade Smith, a prominent lawyer in Raleigh, N.C., who represented one of the exonerated suspects in the recent Duke University rape case, said the family provided the statement to The Associated Press after reaching out to him. He said the family would not answer any questions, and neither would he.
The statement was the family’s first public comment. Cho’s sister is a graduate of Princeton University in New Jersey who works as a contractor for a State Department office that oversees billions of dollars in U.S. aid for Iraq. She would not comment when contacted earlier this week by the Princeton student newspaper.
The statement was issued during a statewide day of mourning for the victims of the worst massacre in modern U.S. history.
Check this out!! This fuck head wanted and is getting the attention he craved. The more we keep putting up his picture, the more attention he gets. What about the families that lost a love one because of him? Do we keep putting up his picture so that the families continue to hate life? Do we keep talking about him and focus on what he did or do we remeber what the families of these people have lost. Lets glorify their life, not the son of a bitch who fuckin killed them. Lets take a look at this………. The fucker is dead. The more he is posted, the more someone else is going to try and out do him. Lets talk about the lives lost and what they accomplished, what they believed in. Lets all say a prayer for a healing life for these people. Really its over, let a higher power much greater than ourselves play a part in our lives, not this asshole who couldn’t take life as it came.
I am fully aware he wanted attention, and I am giving it to him. But I just want my intentions clear - I am doing it from my own personal view that all attention towards him should be because he was possibly the biggest fucking pussy ever. He took being a piece of shit to the highest level. It wasn’t about a manifesto - a mission - revenge, whatever it is his motivation supposedly was. It was about the simple fact that he was a spineless chump who took the easiest way out possible and in the most selfish manner too.
I’m not mad at him. I’m mad at the system. There were so many signs and so many people turned him in as a threat - but the system chose privacy was higher on the scale than safety. I’m mad at his family, at least that one woman (mom or grandmother) they showed yesterday talking about all the signs THEY saw in him and then she called him an idiot. Now THAT’S a fucking support system to deal with throughout his life and death. I’m sorry, but SHE’S a fucking idiot for not stepping up.
Fuck the bullies that he had to grow up with. Pray someday that it’s not their child that gets treated this way. Whoopdeedoo for everyone who was ‘normal’ and treated him like shit.
I am NOT condoning what he did. It was horrible. What is more horrible is all the fuckheads that saw there was a problem and didn’t do a gawd damn thing about it. Fuck them all.
And after this curse-laden rant, I send my thoughts and respect for all who have lost during this time. We can forget his name, but let’s not forget or ignore the signs that something like this was coming.
I will admit, I am not fully aware of the effects of mental illness because I am the only one in my family who they think is possibly mentally ill. That being said, this guy was offered help. Even a mentally ill person can have a desire to get better. There is a difference to me between hate and sickness. He laughed maniacally as he gunned people down. He killed a 75 year old Holocaust survivor - and then bashed rich kids and college party types. He’s a hypocrite - or maybe the guy just got in his way. Either way he’s a pussy for not getting help and taking innocent people with him.
I got picked on by older kids when I was 13. Eventually I grew to be 6′4″ and I remember jokingly bullying kids around too. Most knew me well enough to know I was kidding, but who knows - I may have been the asshole to them too.
Maybe Cho got more than his fair share of being picked on. So you know what, if Jimmy Dugan down the street picked on you and tormented you all your life…. get a fucking gun and shoot Jimmy Dugan. Not 32 other people who not even Jimmy met.
No offense to Jimmy Dugan in real life…. I made that name up.
thats displacement. We learned about Ted Bundy yesturday who instead of taking his anger out on his girlfriend he did it on a whole bunch of other women who looked similar to her. Taking your anger out on innocent people instead of working the problem out with the person you have the conflict with.
The problem with Cho is that he says all these things about society but he wasnt mentally all there. These people are mad about events that sometimes never even happened.
Fine. Pretend that he only had to suffer with a few isolated events of assholes. Pray that your child never falls victim to assholes like this because they are shy, or have a diagnosis for something that can either make them great or if not dealt with, make them violent. Pray that you are a better support system that sees the signs of what needs to be addressed than what he had.
Again, I am not defending what he did. I am bashing those who knew there was a problem and didn’t do a damn thing about it. What the hell was going on in his head that would make him throw away all of his schooling 2 weeks before graduation, taking with him 32 innocent victims.
I have 2 reasons of why he did what he did. One is a reason for him being bullied, the other is what fucked him over enough to do this…the same shit that made Eric and Dylan do what they did. It will all come out in the next few weeks. Be sure to take notice and stop ignoring/denying the problems and signs. Educate yourself and stop defending stupid fuckers, whether they be bullies, or those in authority. For God’s sake, we have to protect our children from these people. Let’s do something about it!!
GREAT comment, De Lyn. There were a million signs that this kid was sick and needed intervention. Our system failed. Our society failed. Shame on his family, his roommates, and shame on all of us alike.
I was bullied and picked on severely as a child. My reaction was to withdraw and suffer from low self-esteem that still plagues me to this day and has affected me greatly. But that’s ME, that’s how I handled it. Other people, like Cho, react in anger, react by becoming maniacal and growing more sick by the day. They react by heading down to the gun shop and buying a semi-automatic weapon in less time than it takes to go through the drive-thru at Taco Bell.
I do not in any way condone his bevahior, but this needs to be our wake-up call that if things in our society don’t change, we can look forward to another kid shooting up a school in the very near future.
I agree that this should be a wake-up call that we, as a society, need to evaluate ourselves. Maybe one of the many lessons of this tragic incident is to treat each other better. Why is it, that it takes something horrific like this, or 9/11, in order for our society to realize we need to be better humans. Shouldn’t we be trying to be better people everyday as opposed to a few weeks following a tragic loss?
A man on CNN last night reported that mental health in this country is in a crisis because it’s not profitable. He quantified this by saying that it’s about $500/day per bed to house and care for a mental health patient whereas it’s only $85/day per bed to throw them in jail.
The system fails people like Cho. It seems that everyone around him knew he was a ticking time bomb, so he wasn’t that anonymous. A judge said he needed outpatient treatment, but Cho chose not to go. Shouldn’t we have a system that makes people like him go to treatment?
Speaking of his parents, where were they? Why didn’t they make him go to treatment either? Maybe they were poor and couldn’t afford it, but then we are back to the failed system.
I blame the system for failing this sick and twisted young man. I’d like to see the focus on that.
I cant even tell you how fired up this whole thing has made me this week.
I just got a phone call from my friend at school in Reno telling me his classes were all cancled and the school was on lock down because some guy on parole was strolling around campus with a gun threatening the same thing as Cho.
We talked about this a lot in my psychology class and its scary to think there are so many people out there like him. 3-4 million people in the country. THe problem is that not every one goes violent like him so we never know until its too late.
I dont want to get started about other the other things that happened but it was just a tragic event that hopefully other schools will learn from so it doesnt happen agian.
I applaud your sentiments. Very well spoken. I am a 41 year old woman,after having children early in life, I have gone back to being a Full Time college student. I understand the pressures people go through. I was a Marine Corps sargeants wife. I had 3 children, I raised them and now it is my time. You were so correct when you, said Everyone goes through hard times and some just knock us right the Hell out. People like Cho, as you, call him did get his name for ever remembered, being a piece of shit. I am sorry for the families and those who were afflicted! What bothers me about this whole travesty is this man will have his name live on and what of those who were Killed? Who will remember them! What a little Fucker!
It really makes me sad that someone can begin to feel the way he did about himself. That is no fucking excuse for the horrow he rained down on everyone around him and the US.
First of all there was no real passion (although it appears he might have TRIED to drum up something had someone handed him an onion) and only derision and pompassness in the scripted crap he read. Second, I want to see the film (I think it was a Japenese or Korean film award winner or something; I don’t recall the details) that apparently portrayed much of what the unoriginal loser copied in his little taped presentation. At the end, he couldn’t even find an original way to end his life. He had to steal someone else’s ideas. Did a biological reaction to his medications cause him to act this way? Culture shock? He was in the US since 92. I’m thinking maybe he could have acclimated by now. Hate rich people? My thoughts for the best revenge? Be apathetic toward them or get rich yourself. The most amazing part is, “I am martryed like Jesus Christ,” and “I am doing this for my brothers and sisters…” Holy mackeral dead guy… Jesus wouldn’t have condoned what you did, and I’m sure the humble persecuted while maybe enjoying your SPEECH about the hedonistic ways of rich people, would NOT have wanted to see 32 lives ended for the sake of your lack of self-worth and self-esteem.
Sorry if anyone is offended … while I hope this brings light to the mental health situation in our country, the lost souls of our early young adults who are so often confused and lacking direction, and the affects of medications that require closer monitoring, I cannot drum up an ounce of sympathy for him. The deceased, yes. His family, yes. Not him. He didn’t even die with dignity. He’ll go down in notoriety but it won’t be because of greatness or respect that’s for sure.
The guy was a sick f*ck who needed professional help, end of story. The whole thing makes my stomach turn. I wish for this to bring about more public awareness about mental illness. There were so many signs. This kid was CRYING out for help and none came.
I don’t know Laurie. Crying out for help just doesn’t fly with me. With most of these people, like Columbine’s killers, they put other people beneath them. Cho seemed to do the same thing in his rantings. Unfortunately, his perspective coincides with that of an inmature teenager. Sad he made it to 23 with the mentality of a 15 year old. I think he needed to be beaten by his parents more.
Cho was the actor, but there were so many failures along the way that fomented this loss of life. I do feel sorry for his family. Without exception, every single Korean family I know sacrifices everything to educate their children, and set them up to be successful.
hey what’s up? 1st time posting on the new site. kudos to superjabs et all 4 getting it all together.
(But i’m still not giving you fuckers my real email address, unles I get a guarantee that it will be used for promos etc. from this site only)
anyway… a heartfelt post. The bile rises in the throat as one dwells on this sick bastard. I suppose it falls to preachers, priests and the like to feel some kind of compassion for him.
I can’t say that I do, but someone has to.
Someone, somewhere, has to feel sorry for this guy. If not, we’re not really human anymore.
This has happened in one way or another so many times, ie Columbine etc, and it is sad. It makes me sick that these people are so pathetic that this is how they get off to feel like they left “a legacy” or something. It is just a waste.
First i have to say that i am glad to see you writing again even if it has to be for such an awful event. I have to say i would be very mean here saying he should rot in hell as well but his family and friends as well as the counselors at the school were given may indicators to his behavior way before this took place. They should be held accountable as well for standing by and not getting him the help he needed in time. Just another part of society that feels they only have to look out for themselves and fuck everyone else. They don’t seem to care as long as it doesn’t affect their tiny little worlds they live in. Very sad indeed. It should never have been allowed to happen in the first place.
Untill the powers that be in this country take action concerning all the mental ilnesses in this country, this shit is gonna continue to happen. This is just a result of people turning a blind eye to these problems.
When are people going to stop blaming everyone but themselves? You can blame society, but instead of talking about it, do something about it.. Our country has lessened the value of family on a daily basis, and we the people are the ones who make up “our country”… Everyone has a family, whether it be biological or not; that’s where it starts! Do something today to bring something positive to your family and those closest to you…
Stop blaming race, McDonald’s, teachers, schools, the government, your boss, or the dog and cat next door.. If life gives you lemons, then embrace it and make a difference, for you and for the people around you!
Another note: I went to visit a neurologist (sleep disorder) the other day, after mentioning to him that I’m not sure I want to be dependent on a drug, he looked at me and said “Then why did you come see me?” Who doesn’t see a problem with that??? And by the way, he cured me right there, I’ve been sleeping like a baby ever since!
oxygen thieves exist and breed, luckily this one did not..hopefully his family will one day recover and maintain functional lives or else become all the more part of this horror that will echo in the lives of the surviving family member’s lives for ever, I pray they can heal themselves.
my vote for runner up: meth/crack/crank dealers and the losers who supply them….ah well enough of the darkness now…I just kicked ass ripping through the trails in the vineyards of the Rein Valley here in Germany last hour..cant bring me down…no cant touch this..

“I hope a day will come when all the people affected by these acts of violence will find peace”
Amen sweetie
Waco happened this week too. Its really strange all these horrific things all happened this week.
Fantastic award. It sucks that he is getting recognition for his cowardice, but a deserving title nonetheless.
I understand why you say he killed his dad….his dad runs a cleaners….its not like anyone is going to go and continue to support that family knowing what the son did…People judge …thats human nature…this shit is just sad…I pray for Chos family…and for the victems….

That is the truth and very well put. I had a different spin on it but, this one is better!

I agree, pray for ALL of them. ALL.
Him too.
I am fully aware he wanted attention, and I am giving it to him. But I just want my intentions clear - I am doing it from my own personal view that all attention towards him should be because he was possibly the biggest fucking pussy ever.

Yea is there one person who was never bullied as a child? C’mon, everyone got their day.
I myself was a little Afro haired child among beautiful straight haired twits. You don’t see me Ooozying my classmates.
I got picked on by older kids when I was 13. Eventually I grew to be 6′4″ and I remember jokingly bullying kids around too. Most knew me well enough to know I was kidding, but who knows - I may have been the asshole to them too.
Maybe Cho got more than his fair share of being picked on. So you know what, if Jimmy Dugan down the street picked on you and tormented you all your life…. get a fucking gun and shoot Jimmy Dugan. Not 32 other people who not even Jimmy met.
No offense to Jimmy Dugan in real life…. I made that name up.
thats displacement. We learned about Ted Bundy yesturday who instead of taking his anger out on his girlfriend he did it on a whole bunch of other women who looked similar to her. Taking your anger out on innocent people instead of working the problem out with the person you have the conflict with.
The problem with Cho is that he says all these things about society but he wasnt mentally all there. These people are mad about events that sometimes never even happened.
well said
Fine. Pretend that he only had to suffer with a few isolated events of assholes. Pray that your child never falls victim to assholes like this because they are shy, or have a diagnosis for something that can either make them great or if not dealt with, make them violent. Pray that you are a better support system that sees the signs of what needs to be addressed than what he had.
Again, I am not defending what he did. I am bashing those who knew there was a problem and didn’t do a damn thing about it. What the hell was going on in his head that would make him throw away all of his schooling 2 weeks before graduation, taking with him 32 innocent victims.
I have 2 reasons of why he did what he did. One is a reason for him being bullied, the other is what fucked him over enough to do this…the same shit that made Eric and Dylan do what they did. It will all come out in the next few weeks. Be sure to take notice and stop ignoring/denying the problems and signs. Educate yourself and stop defending stupid fuckers, whether they be bullies, or those in authority. For God’s sake, we have to protect our children from these people. Let’s do something about it!!
AGREED
GREAT comment, De Lyn. There were a million signs that this kid was sick and needed intervention. Our system failed. Our society failed. Shame on his family, his roommates, and shame on all of us alike.
I was bullied and picked on severely as a child. My reaction was to withdraw and suffer from low self-esteem that still plagues me to this day and has affected me greatly. But that’s ME, that’s how I handled it. Other people, like Cho, react in anger, react by becoming maniacal and growing more sick by the day. They react by heading down to the gun shop and buying a semi-automatic weapon in less time than it takes to go through the drive-thru at Taco Bell.
I do not in any way condone his bevahior, but this needs to be our wake-up call that if things in our society don’t change, we can look forward to another kid shooting up a school in the very near future.
I agree that this should be a wake-up call that we, as a society, need to evaluate ourselves. Maybe one of the many lessons of this tragic incident is to treat each other better. Why is it, that it takes something horrific like this, or 9/11, in order for our society to realize we need to be better humans. Shouldn’t we be trying to be better people everyday as opposed to a few weeks following a tragic loss?
You seemed to hit the nail on the head; perfectly titled. He is the biggest pussy of the year….
A man on CNN last night reported that mental health in this country is in a crisis because it’s not profitable. He quantified this by saying that it’s about $500/day per bed to house and care for a mental health patient whereas it’s only $85/day per bed to throw them in jail.
The system fails people like Cho. It seems that everyone around him knew he was a ticking time bomb, so he wasn’t that anonymous. A judge said he needed outpatient treatment, but Cho chose not to go. Shouldn’t we have a system that makes people like him go to treatment?
Speaking of his parents, where were they? Why didn’t they make him go to treatment either? Maybe they were poor and couldn’t afford it, but then we are back to the failed system.
I blame the system for failing this sick and twisted young man. I’d like to see the focus on that.
Yes, yes, yes!
FYI: Cho is his last name.
Seung, first name, they called him Sung.
Just that you had his father’s name as: “Mr.
Seung Hui.”
We should remember the fallen. But it is the
shitbag who makes history.
I give this piece of shit no recognition. My heart goes out to the victims…and to our society.
I cant even tell you how fired up this whole thing has made me this week.
I just got a phone call from my friend at school in Reno telling me his classes were all cancled and the school was on lock down because some guy on parole was strolling around campus with a gun threatening the same thing as Cho.
We talked about this a lot in my psychology class and its scary to think there are so many people out there like him. 3-4 million people in the country. THe problem is that not every one goes violent like him so we never know until its too late.
I dont want to get started about other the other things that happened but it was just a tragic event that hopefully other schools will learn from so it doesnt happen agian.
I applaud your sentiments. Very well spoken. I am a 41 year old woman,after having children early in life, I have gone back to being a Full Time college student. I understand the pressures people go through. I was a Marine Corps sargeants wife. I had 3 children, I raised them and now it is my time. You were so correct when you, said Everyone goes through hard times and some just knock us right the Hell out. People like Cho, as you, call him did get his name for ever remembered, being a piece of shit. I am sorry for the families and those who were afflicted! What bothers me about this whole travesty is this man will have his name live on and what of those who were Killed? Who will remember them! What a little Fucker!
It really makes me sad that someone can begin to feel the way he did about himself. That is no fucking excuse for the horrow he rained down on everyone around him and the US.
Amen…
First of all there was no real passion (although it appears he might have TRIED to drum up something had someone handed him an onion) and only derision and pompassness in the scripted crap he read. Second, I want to see the film (I think it was a Japenese or Korean film award winner or something; I don’t recall the details) that apparently portrayed much of what the unoriginal loser copied in his little taped presentation. At the end, he couldn’t even find an original way to end his life. He had to steal someone else’s ideas. Did a biological reaction to his medications cause him to act this way? Culture shock? He was in the US since 92. I’m thinking maybe he could have acclimated by now. Hate rich people? My thoughts for the best revenge? Be apathetic toward them or get rich yourself. The most amazing part is, “I am martryed like Jesus Christ,” and “I am doing this for my brothers and sisters…” Holy mackeral dead guy… Jesus wouldn’t have condoned what you did, and I’m sure the humble persecuted while maybe enjoying your SPEECH about the hedonistic ways of rich people, would NOT have wanted to see 32 lives ended for the sake of your lack of self-worth and self-esteem.
Sorry if anyone is offended … while I hope this brings light to the mental health situation in our country, the lost souls of our early young adults who are so often confused and lacking direction, and the affects of medications that require closer monitoring, I cannot drum up an ounce of sympathy for him. The deceased, yes. His family, yes. Not him. He didn’t even die with dignity. He’ll go down in notoriety but it won’t be because of greatness or respect that’s for sure.
The guy was a sick f*ck who needed professional help, end of story. The whole thing makes my stomach turn. I wish for this to bring about more public awareness about mental illness. There were so many signs. This kid was CRYING out for help and none came.
I don’t know Laurie. Crying out for help just doesn’t fly with me. With most of these people, like Columbine’s killers, they put other people beneath them. Cho seemed to do the same thing in his rantings. Unfortunately, his perspective coincides with that of an inmature teenager. Sad he made it to 23 with the mentality of a 15 year old. I think he needed to be beaten by his parents more.
Cho was the actor, but there were so many failures along the way that fomented this loss of life. I do feel sorry for his family. Without exception, every single Korean family I know sacrifices everything to educate their children, and set them up to be successful.
hey what’s up? 1st time posting on the new site. kudos to superjabs et all 4 getting it all together.
(But i’m still not giving you fuckers my real email address, unles I get a guarantee that it will be used for promos etc. from this site only)
anyway… a heartfelt post. The bile rises in the throat as one dwells on this sick bastard. I suppose it falls to preachers, priests and the like to feel some kind of compassion for him.
I can’t say that I do, but someone has to.
Someone, somewhere, has to feel sorry for this guy. If not, we’re not really human anymore.
ever since I put my e-mail address, my porn spam has quadrupled… and believe me it was already pretty high from my subscriptions to www.bangbus.com, www.cumfiesta.com, and www.mikesapartment.com
This has happened in one way or another so many times, ie Columbine etc, and it is sad. It makes me sick that these people are so pathetic that this is how they get off to feel like they left “a legacy” or something. It is just a waste.
Good blog and I totally agree..
Your views are on the mark. Well done.
First i have to say that i am glad to see you writing again even if it has to be for such an awful event. I have to say i would be very mean here saying he should rot in hell as well but his family and friends as well as the counselors at the school were given may indicators to his behavior way before this took place. They should be held accountable as well for standing by and not getting him the help he needed in time. Just another part of society that feels they only have to look out for themselves and fuck everyone else. They don’t seem to care as long as it doesn’t affect their tiny little worlds they live in. Very sad indeed. It should never have been allowed to happen in the first place.
Untill the powers that be in this country take action concerning all the mental ilnesses in this country, this shit is gonna continue to happen. This is just a result of people turning a blind eye to these problems.
When are people going to stop blaming everyone but themselves? You can blame society, but instead of talking about it, do something about it.. Our country has lessened the value of family on a daily basis, and we the people are the ones who make up “our country”… Everyone has a family, whether it be biological or not; that’s where it starts! Do something today to bring something positive to your family and those closest to you…
Stop blaming race, McDonald’s, teachers, schools, the government, your boss, or the dog and cat next door.. If life gives you lemons, then embrace it and make a difference, for you and for the people around you!
Another note: I went to visit a neurologist (sleep disorder) the other day, after mentioning to him that I’m not sure I want to be dependent on a drug, he looked at me and said “Then why did you come see me?” Who doesn’t see a problem with that??? And by the way, he cured me right there, I’ve been sleeping like a baby ever since!
oxygen thieves exist and breed, luckily this one did not..hopefully his family will one day recover and maintain functional lives or else become all the more part of this horror that will echo in the lives of the surviving family member’s lives for ever, I pray they can heal themselves.
my vote for runner up: meth/crack/crank dealers and the losers who supply them….ah well enough of the darkness now…I just kicked ass ripping through the trails in the vineyards of the Rein Valley here in Germany last hour..cant bring me down…no cant touch this..
