Virginia Tech Massacre

What posessed this guy to do this? No one deserves to be killed this way.

A few years back there was a presentation about the columbine shooting at my school by the father of one of the girls killed. It was interesting and most teachers left in tears.

btw;
he was south Korean, obtained the weapons legally and people are still unsure about his motives. I think they are beginning to doubt it was revenge about an exam/love life as it was said by fellow students he never had a girlfriend and actually made a girlfriend up.

I really think, no human being would rather turn themself in to the police. First of all, you go to jail, for sure you will have to go to trial && it'll take months before you are convicted && found guilty. You killed over 30 people. Your not going to get out. Your going to death row. Why not just make the process quicker && kill yourself right than && there? You just saved yourself some time. No one is going to wait for the authorities to come && arrest them. Or this guy just wanted to commit suicide. What you prefer && what the killer would prefer is two completely different choices. Maybe he was a nice guy && something happened && he just went off. Maybe... you never know.

A really old teacher was shot. He was actually quite brave, he held the door closed so his students could get away, he saved a few lives sacrificing his own.

The irony is that he was a Holocaust survivor, and he died on 'Holocaust Rembrence' Day.

He didn't seem very nice after hearing/viewing the literature he wrote. Plays about people dyeing, about people shooting others in their school and the video he sent to that news station.

your opinion isn't valid because you e-studder sorry...

the shooter recorded videos 6 days prior to the shooting and he mentioned that Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold (the teenagers who began a rampage at Columbine High school which was known as one of the worst school shootings in history, where 12 students were killed, and a teacher, with 24 others injured) were great people or something like that. apparently the shooter of Virginia Tech was wearing a boy scout uniform while this happened. The aniversary of the Columbine shooting is this Friday (april 20th) and people suspect that this has something to do with the Virgina Tech shooting.

He wasent dressed as one, just looked like one in his vest and shirt.

What people suspect that it had something to do with it?

Mod, if I'm not allowed to post these remove them thanks..

That's just a few of the photo's he sent to NBC before the shootings that morning.

Yeah they were a couple he took of himself before and he also took a video which he said "You made me do this" which was pretty disturbing, its on the news at lunchtime, also there was a 2hour gap between his shootings because he went to post those pictures(and more) and the video of himself, after shooting the first 2 students(it was confirmed) then he went back to the massacre.

but yeah as some said, an old teacher who survived the holocaust wedged his body up against the door so his students could jump out the window but the killer then killed him.. which was sad >.<

Mailed as in physically mailed. Not e-mailed.

I think it was the 8th Aniversary of the columbine massacre and that has something to do with it. He also took the hammer and gun to head pose from a violent movie created in South Korea.

He found his (ex)girlfriend in bed with another guy and then got 'revenge' later by shooting her. A student ran in after hearing a banging and as Cho (killer) realised he witnessed the crime he killed him in cold blood, wrong place, wrong time. I assume at this point he realised he was going down for a long, long time (pre-meditaded murder) and basically went on a killing spree. During the mysterious two hours all that is known is he posted a film to a news station. Why the news station didn't alert police to who they were chasing is a mystery to me.

He then proceded to fire more than 27 shots (as someone has already said he fired 27) as every person that was shot had 3+ bullets in them, as confirmed by a doctor, and he killed 30 people in this spree. When he entered one of the buildings, Norris Hall if I remember, he chained all the doors closed so hostages couldn't escape. Police first saw him when he approached a window and then walked away.

He was described as having 'an un-godly amount of ammunition'. I suppose he was ready for a long stand-off. He seemed to have something wrong as he did have an imaginary girlfriend after his rejection.

He came from a 'well-off' family, his sister was a Princeton graduate, mother and father were well respected members of the Virginia community. He was described as a nice boy, but slightly strange.

What gets me is how a person could bring themselves to commit such an atrocity coming from a good background and a good life. He came equipped with 2 pistols and 2 daggers in a backpack.

And thats my two cents over and done with. I wrote most from memory so forgive me if its incorrect or there is new information.

Can someone please give me an article that said he had and killed an ex-girlfriend? Ive been following this since it happened, and I have heard absolutely nothing about a girlfriend other than on here. He did it because he was an immature person who hated rich kids.

And the Columbine anniversary is today, so it had nothing to do with that. It's just a coincidence that its on the same week.

I find it horrible that there is someone as mad and lonely as this that can kill so many people and then kill himself.

Americans teaching friendly fire at a young age... :rolleyes:

on a serious note, its awful :(

I think this "Girlfriend" may have just been a figment of his imagination or something, I have no idea really.

That's the university wesite. Depressing stuff

That article is false, the 2 people shot in the beginning were both students, not an adviser. I suspected that story wouldnt be trust worthy, the first sentence doesnt make any sense:

Quote:

---

Terrified students lined up against the wall of their classroom and shot, execution-style.

That makes it sound like the students were the ones shooting. It should be:

Everyone interviewed said he was a loner. I dont see how a girlfriend fits into everyone else's story unless he is schizophrenic.

Either, I guess that was just an unconfirmed report leaked into the media. I'm starting to have its doubts. I know the first two victims was a university girl and a black man (teacher/student) who walked in at the wrong time.

I'm watching some video's on youtube now.
I've seen some victim's myspace and it's very emotional.
Families are saying '' Call me to make sure you alright '' hours later there dead

yeah that really got me down.

I doubt he had any psychological problems at all. I assume he didn't like his life and hated everyone or whatever but as far as insanity, I very much doubt it, people overrate insanity. People are probably just saying he was insane to make things seem more humane. To think someone would dat that seems inhumane and people would be scared thinking that anyone could suddenely turn around one day and gun everyone down, knowing that he was out of his mind makes things seem better.

Yeah, I saw some myspace's knowing that the people who own them are dead =/ Depressing..

must say i'm agreeing with you, not all mass murders are insane.
I could get a list of ones that aren't.

get me a list.

I meant off the top of my head, can't you come up with enough yourself lmao?

For example, the 9/11 attacks, they were obviously huge, the people who carried those out were right in the head to my knowledge.

Obviously they arn't, what sane person wants to fly a plane into a building

Depends on what you consider insane. They were definitely brain washed.

He was in a psychiatric institution for some time, and he was on anti-depressants. He had psychiatric problems.
