Question Mark Kid

Shooter was the ‘question mark kid’:

More former classmates of Cho Seung-Hui are describing him as a loner but it sounds like it was by his own choice…

Classmates say that on the first day of a British literature class last year, students took turns introducing themsleves. When it was Cho Seung-Hui’s turn to speak, he said nothing.

The professor then looked at the sign-in sheet, and noticed that Cho had written a question mark instead of his name. The professor asked, “Is your name ‘Question mark?”‘ A classmate, Julie Poole, says Cho offered little response.

She says he then spent much of the class sitting in the back of the room, wearing a hat and seldom participating. Even though it was a small English department, she says, Cho remained anonymous, not reaching out to anyone, and not talking.

Unfortunately for the victims at Virginia Tech that question mark is now an exclamation point.

    I love how the talking heads are basically blaming everything BUT the piece of human debris that instigated all this. Guns…video games (anyone see that idiot Jack Thompson mumbling about how the kid played Counterstrike?)…TV…society…THEY are to blame! Idiots.

    And speaking of Jack Thompson,who will undoubtedly use this as more ammo to further his crusade against video games…I wonder if Jack realizes the disparity in numbers between people who play video games and kill people and people who read the bible and attend church who kill innocent people? Maybe we should start the “banning” somewhere else. Just a thought.

    This week in history is rife with events of this nature (Columbine, OKC) and likeness. I expect more carnage to follow. 🙁

    Now that is kind of bizaar….he even used “talking heads” in his blog. Oh well…that’s me….on the cutting edge. At least I’m ahead of the curve on my call to ban religion and the bible using the same arguement 😎
