Gunman contacted NBC News during massacre

[Robor007 0]

These problems did surface and they surfaced recently. Have you read the quotes from fellow students and teachers about him? This guy might as well have been walking around with a tshirt saying, 'I'm going to murder a bunch of people soon'. All of the 'signs' were there.

I know a crazy mofo just like this guy. He's aggressive and anti-social. All the signs are there.

Does it mean he's going to kill a bunch of people soon? Should I kill him first just in case?

Wasn't this Cho murderer sent to counseling for his anger issues? If so, why was an angry and unbalanced man permitted to buy a gun and ammo?

Because he hadn't committed any crime; background check is just pretty much a weak name hit. Cho hadn't been charged with anything, hadn't been involuntarily committed; the psychologists didn't think he was a danger to others, just to himself.

I'm not sure what's to be done about that; banning anyone who goes to student health services from purchasing a firearm seems a bit extreme, but the background check didn't catch him because he hadn't been charged or convicted of anything.

It is just amazing to think of all the ###### I had to go through to get a freakin visa yet with a check and a drivers license I managed to purchase a gun in 15 minutes. No questions asked, have a nice day sir.. I like my gun but come on now, that is a little ridiculous.

FYI, this Washington Post article gives a detailed account of what happened that day.

It's horrifying.

Just saw on the news that they found he was constantly teased and bullied throughout high school and constantly the object of ridicule. Teased him for being Korean etc..

I bet they teased him for being a weirdo psycho loser, not because he was Korean.

Reminds me of myself being picked on because I was the only Asian in class. I didn't turn into a horrible or psychotic person. Heck, I used my anger to prove these kids are nothing by continuing to excel in school. I don't pity myself at all.

probably so..i read the article and he was quiet and had poor eye contact..that get you a dirty swirly in most high schools in america

I hope all of those people who picked on him are proud of themselves.

What make this whole situation really bad is that he took out his anger by killing innocent people randomly. Whereas I could sort of understand if he blow a gasket and went after those who tormented him..
