Dave Cullen on Cho

Was Cho Seung-Hui really like the Columbine killers?:

Dave Cullen, who wrote the definitive article about Columbine, is back. This time he’s writing about the Virginia Tech gunman Cho Seung-Hui and analyzing the comparison between Cho and the Columbine killers. The article does not disappoint.

I’m not even going to post any quotes of the article because it’s way too good for that. The article must be read in its entirety.

    I do believe he suffered from a form of mental illiness. How truly sad 32 innocent people had to die for it.

    Talk about a waste of time – nothing worth reading in the Slate article, just muddying the waters psychobabble.

    Choe was a victim of extreme bullying in high school, and was then mistreated at Virinia Tech rather than given the support he so badly needed. No one recognized he had avoidant personality disorder, something quite common among victims of extreme bullying. Instead, he was further marginalized and ostracized, and even put into a mental health facility because someone thought she was being “stalked” by him.

    Talk about life and career wrecking.

    Kicked when he was down, isolated, bullied and picked upon and put upon, dumbasses wonder why he ended up picking up a gun and blowing a bunch of people away.

    Only thing that surprised me about either of the shootings is the fact the Columnbine punks actually expressed remorse to their parents, highly unusually for a pschyopath. Still a pity they took the coward’s way out.

    “dumbasses wonder why he ended up picking up a gun and blowing a bunch of people away.”

    Actually…dumbasses trip all over themselves trying to excuse what this sorry excuse for a person did.

    *of course it is, because it doesnt agree with your agenda. Go screw !*

    *funny, every article I have read said that people feared him because he was such an anti social douche. Reports say his roommates invited him out all the time but he refused… is that how he was bullied ? *

    *yeah, he took 33 lives and ruined all those familys… we know*

    *we don’t wonder, we know he was a psychopath loser who was jealous of his peers so he killed as many of them as he could. It is YOU we wonder about. like, for example, how many keys you mash before you manage to type a coherent sentence.*
