    Cho and the escort

    ‘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.

    Cho’s stone stolen

    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.

    Hainstock to be tried as adult

    Judge: Hainstock To Be Tried As Adult:

    Judge Patrick Taggart has ruled that Eric Hainstock, the teen accused of gunning down Weston Schools Principal John Klang, will be tried as an adult.

    Judge Patrick Taggart said that Hainstock’s attorneys didn’t prove that moving his murder trial to juvenile court wouldn’t diminish the seriousness of his crime.

    Taggart said that evidence showed Hainstock planned to go to Weston Schools with guns and told a janitor that he was there to kill someone.

    The judge told the defense lawyers that they only succeeded in meeting one of the three criteria to move the case to juvenile court, WISC-TV reported.

    Of course, the defense is not happy.

    Hainstock’s attorney Rhoda Ricciardi said that the teen will rot away in prison. She said that therapy he would have received at juvenile facility could have helped him.

    What’s your point, lady?

    Hainstock is now looking at life behind bars.

  • Yeah…that’s the ticket

    Yeah…that’s the ticket

    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.

    Cho: The Unoriginal Loser

    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.

    Ex-US Weekly editor busted on craigslist

    Fmr. US Weekly Editor Tried to Have Sex With Minor:

    You just never know what’s lurking in people’s closets.

    A former US Weekly editor was sentenced to six years in prison for using the Internet to try to have sex with a 13-year-old girl. Federal prosecutors say Timothy McDarrah responded to an FBI posting on “Craigslist” offering to pay $200 for sex with a minor.

    The FBI says McDarrah asked “What it’ll cost for the cutest white 14-year-old girl with a pony tail in the whole 8th grade?” Investigators say he later communicated with 13 year-old “Julie” wanting to provide her with “sex lessons.” The 45 year-old writers was convicted back in December after an eight day trial.

    You’d think a journalist would have better instincts than that. Oh well, one more predator behind bars.

    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 from the article because it’s way too good for that. The article must be read in its entirety.

  • Columbine parents call for release of evidence

    Columbine parents call for release of evidence

    Columbine Parents Call For Release Of Reports:

    Yesterday at a news conference at 11:20 AM, the exact 8th anniversary of Columbine, Brian Rohrbough called once again for the release of all the evidence pertaining to Columbine. Most notable, the basement tapes and the sealed depositions.

    “How much more blood must be spilled?” Rohrbough asked

    Rohrbough said if he can raise the money, he’ll appeal a decision by U.S. District Judge Lewis Babcock to seal depositions given by the parents of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold for 20 years.

    If he sets up a fund for donations, I’ll be more than happy to contribute.

    Psychologist: Klang May Have Made Things Worse:

    A principal hailed as a hero for rushing a student gunman and disarming him despite being fatally wounded may have sealed his own fate by touching the boy, a psychologist testified Thursday.

    Eric Hainstock can’t control his emotional reactions to even the smallest slight and can’t think rationally when he’s attacked, juvenile psychologist Michael Caldwell said. The volatile 16-year-old has shown a pattern of growing more agitated when people touch him, Caldwell said.

    And people want him to back out on the streets by the time he’s 25? That’s laughable. Hainstock is violent and unstable, and I doubt very much that he’s capable of rehabilitation.

  • The Mutant Report

    The Mutant Report

    To some online, gunman is a hero, martyr:

    We have an article here from the Detroit Press about people who idolize school shooters. Apparently, it was written by Captain Where The Hell Have You Been For The Past 8 Years.

    In the videotapes Cho Seung-Hui sent to NBC in the midst of the Virginia Tech massacre, he spoke of his children, brothers and sisters and compared himself to Jesus.

    Many may shrug off such rantings as those of a deranged killer.

    But not everyone.

    “Cho Seung-hui, we fringed ones salute you,” reads one Web site that praises the bloodshed just days after the country recoiled at the deadliest shooting spree in U.S. history.

    Rowell Huesmann, a professor of psychology and communication studies at the University of Michigan, called such sentiments “disgusting.”

    But, he added, there’s a reason for them.

    “There are disaffected people who are alienated, for one reason or another, from society who wouldn’t do anything physically violent,” he said. “But writing these gives them a chance to be aggressive to society in a way that’s fairly non-risky.”

    He says non-risky, I say cowardly. Get back to me when one of you mutants has the balls to say this to a family member of one of the victims. Then again, that would require you to leave your mom’s basement.

    If Cho wanted notoriety as a martyr for the disenfranchised, history indicates he’ll get it.

    That’s what happened with Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, students at Columbine High School in Colorado who shot to death 12 classmates and a teacher before turning their guns on themselves eight years ago today.

    And locally, it happened with Andrew Osantowski of Clinton Township in 2004. The then-17-year-old was accused of stockpiling an arsenal to gun down classmates and blow up his school, Chippewa Valley High in Clinton Township. His plan was thwarted after he shared it in an Internet chat with a teen in Washington state, who told her father. He, in turn, called Clinton Township police.

    Online, Osantowski was praised.

    “I, for one, salute Mr. Osantowski,” a Web site posting read at the time. Osantowski, who was convicted of threatening an act of terrorism and using a computer to threaten terrorism, was sentenced to 4 1/2 to 22 years in prison.

    I wonder which site that was. Oh, yeah. It was this one. What the article fails to mention is that the person who made that comment has since recanted his opinion of Andrew Osantowski.

    But hey, if it opens the eyes of some parents who have at-risk kids, hopefully it will avoid another Columbine or Virginia Tech.
