Rambling, Hate-Filled Video Sent to NBC News
Cho, 23, sent a package filled with rambling, hate-filled video and written messages, and several pictures of him posing with a gun, to NBC News on the morning of his killing spree. It arrived in the mail Wednesday, and contents began airing on the network with the "Nightly News."
Read the rest in The Sun Herald.
The target of his hatred was fellow students at Virginia Tech, where Cho massacred 32 people Monday.
"Your Mercedes wasn't enough, you brats," he said. "Your golden necklaces weren't enough you snobs. Your trust funds wasn't enough. Your vodka and cognac wasn't enough. All your debaucheries weren't enough. Those weren't enough to fulfill your hedonistic needs. You had everything."
Cho, it seems, had nothing.
He had no friends, no normal college life, no reason to live.
If he was so unhappy in the U.S., why didn't he return to South Korea? And why do we issue green cards to malcontents and stalkers? Unlike many AMERICAN CITIZENS, he at least had the opportunity to go to college. Instead of using his opportunity to better himself he choose to use it to KILL AMERICAN STUDENTS and himself.Earlier in the day, authorities disclosed that more than a year before the massacre, Cho was accused of sending unwanted messages to two women and was taken to a psychiatric hospital on a magistrate's orders and was pronounced a danger to himself. But he was released with orders to undergo outpatient treatment.
The disclosure added to the rapidly growing list of warning signs that appeared well before the student opened fire. Among other things, Cho's twisted, violence-filled writings and sullen, vacant-eyed demeanor had disturbed professors and students so much that he was removed from one English class and was repeatedly urged to get counseling.Why didn't they keep him in the psychiatric hospital or at the very least deport him? Why was he allowed to stay in our country and kill AMERICAN CITIZENS, who were trying to get an education? There are enough deranged Americans without allowing deranged immigrants into our country.One of the first Virginia Tech officials to recognize Cho's problems was award-winning poet Nikki Giovanni, who kicked him out of her introduction to creative writing class in late 2005.
Students in Giovanni's class had told their professor that Cho was taking photographs of their legs and knees under the desks with his cell phone. Female students refused to come to class. She said she considered him "mean" and "a bully."
