Cho Seung-Hui’s Commitment Papers:

For those of you who are into every minute detail, no matter how insignificant it may be, Slate now has the commitment papers of Cho Seung-Hui.

I didn’t find the papers themselves very interesting, but rather what was in the article that accompanied it.

The patient exercised his right to counsel by court-appointed attorney Terry W. Teel (see Page 2), and his case was considered and decided by Special Justice and Guardian Ad Litem Paul M. Barnett. Justice Barnett found that although Cho presented “an imminent danger to himself as a result of mental illness,” there were suitable “alternatives to involuntary hospitalization” available. Cho was ordered instead to get outpatient treatments (see Page 5). No record has been found to confirm whether Cho, who killed 32 people and himself on April 16, ever sought or received the court-ordered treatment.

Just a few quick questions here. If Cho presented an imminent danger to himself, why was he not committed? Doesn’t imminent mean inevitable and immediate? Since the court ordered him to attend outpatient treatments, was the court supposed to follow up to make sure he was attending? Isn’t that what court-ordered means?

Seung-Hui is not a victim:

This is an editorial from the Tuft’s University student paper in response to this editorial that claims that Virginia Tech mass murderer Cho Seung-Hui was a “victim”.

The truth is society is not perfect and it never will be. Who among us has not felt isolated from his or her peers at some point in life? Yet we do not respond with violent rage. This is not how a human being is supposed to act. The individual decision to murder cannot be excused as a result from reality not always being a happy, jolly place. What happened at Virginia Tech was an act of monstrous insanity.

The only person who can be blamed for Cho Seung-Hui’s violent outburst is Seung-Hui. This is a time to remember the lives of 32 people whose lives were taken away far too soon. The 33rd “victim,” which is what Gunturi refers to Seung-Hui as, should be remembered as the one who took the others’ lives.

Finally, she argues, “Let us not allow Cho’s death to be in vain.” But very idea that we can take anything positive from this man’s life on Earth is ludicrous. He was a horrible person and the world is a better place without him.

Amen brother. It’s just such a waste that the loser had to take 32 innocent victims with him.

‘He was Creeping me Out’:

How’s this for pathetic? According to the article, Cho Seung-Hui couldn’t even get laid by a hooker…

Chastity Frye says she spent an hour, all alone, with Virginia Tech killer Cho Seung-Hui last month.

Frye said “He was so quiet, I really couldn’t get much from him, he was so distant, he really didn’t talk a lot. It seemed like he wasn’t all there.”

Frye works for an escort service. She says, Cho hired her, and the two met at a Valley View motel.

She says “I danced for a little while and I thought we were done because he got up and went to the restroom and began washing. And I said, ‘well, do you want me to go? I’m going to go ahead and go’. And he’s like, ‘I paid for the full hour, you’ve only been here for 15 minutes,’ and then he came back in the room. And I started dancing and that’s when he you know, touched me and tried to get on me and that’s when I pushed him away.”

When Chastity Frye saw the news about Cho last week, she thought she recognized him. Then, she says, FBI agents questioned her this weekend. Frye says they tracked her down through Cho’s credit card receipt.

Frye said “I don’t know what to think. I’m just very grateful that nothing happened then. Sometimes I wonder if I could have said something or done something differently or maybe talk to him a little bit more [but] you know, get him to open up? Right. But I wasn’t thinking about that at the time. I was thinking, he was creeping me out, I was thinking about getting out of there.”

My dad had a saying for guys like Cho. He would say, “That guy couldn’t get laid in a whore house with a stack of twenties.” And here I thought that was just an expression.

Thanks to BelchSpeak for the link.

Cho’s stone gone from memorial:

An almost 5lb granite rock that bared the name of the Virginia Tech killer was removed from the makeshift memorial that contained 33 blocks that had the names of all who died at Virginia Tech. It disappeared before classes resumed on Monday.

Hopefully, some drunk college students are doing unspeakable things to it. If they are, I’d like to buy them a beer.

Those who knew gunman return to classes:

Not only was Cho Seung-Hui an anti-social, selfish, cowardly, loser, he was also delusional, or a pathological liar.

Koch remembers taking Cho out to some parties at the start of the fall semester in 2005. He introduced Cho to friends, but the sullen roommate didn’t say much. At one party, Cho did get tipsy enough that he opened up and began talking about his virtual love life.

He said he had an imaginary girlfriend named Jelly, and that she was “a supermodel that lived in space.” Jelly had a nickname for Cho — Spanky.

Once, Koch knocked on Cho’s door looking for his roommate, John. The door was locked, and Seung wouldn’t open it up.

“I’m in here with my girlfriend and we’re making out,” he said.

“Who says that kind of stuff?” the junior from Richmond asked.

A couple months later during Thanksgiving break, Koch’s phone rang. It was Cho.

“I didn’t know why he called, and I was like ‘What’s up.’ He goes, ‘I’m vacationing with Vladimir Putin. I was like, ‘Really? I think he lives in Russia.’ He’s like, ‘Yeah, we’re in North Carolina.’ I’m like, ‘I’m pretty sure that’s not possible Seung.”‘

I think we all know a guy like this. Someone who tries too hard and ends up pushing people further away from him.

Cho didn’t hate the so-called rich kids. He wanted to be one so bad it hurt. And when they didn’t accept him, his stalker mentality kicked in. If they won’t be friends with me, they won’t be friends with anyone.

Not everyone has to accept you as a friend. That’s the way the real world works.

SICK HOMAGES FROM A STUDENT OF PSYCHOS:

I love the New York Post when it comes to crime coverage. They pull no punches. This article is about how Cho Seung-Hui didn’t have an original idea in his head.

Virginia Tech killer Cho Seung-Hui plagiarized other school-shooting psychos in a twisted show of one-upmanship.

He used the Internet to research and learn from infamous school killers, including Columbine HS’s Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, Duane Morrison of Bailey, Colo., and Kimveer Gill of Montreal, experts said.

In photos he sent to NBC News, Cho is seen wearing a black baseball cap backward, just as Harris wore in published images.

In others, Cho strikes poses disturbingly similar to those of Gill – who posted photos of himself online before his rampage last September at Montreal’s Dawson College that killed one student and injured a dozen.

The only thing he outdid his scumbag heroes on was his level of cowardice.
