Thread: You caused me to do this - Cho

Scotsman.com News - International - Litany of missed chances to stop killer Cho

In the article above it is seen that there were multiple and obvious warning signs that Cho would be murderous.

Cho says that other people caused him to do what he did.

To me his words don't sound all that different than the words of the people who say that the U.S. caused other groups or countries to hate us.

He hated them because they were rich, debaucherous, deceitful charlatans.

Just as we all agree that Cho is responsible for his own actions, I think that terrorists and others are also solely responsible for theirs.

Im convinced CHo was another Charles Whitman. There was SOMETHING seriously wrong with his mind. He was found mentally ill by a court in 05 oh and by the way, the fuck ups let him go. But anyways,. I dont think the kid can be held responsible for what he did, becuase he had something seriously wrong with him.

Good point, its kind of a shame that more people don't consider him to blame when they can easily just blame guns, or the police, or policy. This guy constructed the whole thing from the ground up and somehow we are suppost to look past that because he used a gun. Or the police didn't do a good enough job. Or the policy of the school security... etc..

Has anyone read the plays he wrote? He wrote two of them, Mr. McBeef and Mr. Brownstone. Mr. McBeef is pretty disturbing.

the question I have to ask is: at what point does a violation of your dignity drive you so far as to consider that killing is better than keeping things to same?
At what point, if someone is oppressed, does killing because better than oppression?

Sorry but unless those 'somethings' were enough to keep him on the streets, he is responsible for the monster that he is. Just look at the evidence he sent to the media before killing the 30 but AFTER the 2. He knew what he was doing as any calculated homicidal maniac would.

I blame the president of the university for telling the kids to go to class after two people were shot. He has blood on his hands. I also think the police acted like pussies, not as bad as they did at Columbine but still pretty bad.

Thankfully I will never know.

Just because he knew what he was doing doesnt mean the guy was completley sane. Many phsycho paths are incredibley intelligent but that doesnt mean they are responsible for what they do. Some people are simply compelled to do this by something in their mind. This kid had something FUCKED UP in his head.
