Had there been actual help afforded to this individual, he would've been either treated for his mental illness, institutionalized, or at least deemed unfit to bear arms as well as have more people informed of his state of mind. As individuals who are not closely involved in the issue, I think we must follow the lead of the Virginia Tech community, and be understanding to all that was involved. Schumey,

I think he is sick but let's not call him a bastard or a loser. If the families of those he killed understand him, why shouldn't the we? We have to take into consideration the factors which drove him to commit such an act. Let's be analytical than be judgemental otherwise, we will never be able to learn from a tragedy of this magnitude.

This guy was a sick bastard, a loser in every aspect, and showing the video it only gave him more power. Look, they shouldn’t have released the videos!

Very well said. I think as more individuals look at the tapes, they soon see a man that is out of touch, insane, weak, and mentally disturbed. Reports have surfaced in interviews with Cho's high school classmates of a person who was bullied as well. To understand the situation, we have to face the fact that the trigger man started the tragedy, but our understanding, our faith, our healing, and the stories of the victims will soon be the overwhelming focus. We need to respect the healing process, and sadly, understanding the shooter maybe the first part of that process... Schumey,

I was not insensitive and time is not a factor. The rationale I think is to enlighten the public in what is going on inside the shooter's mind. Discrimination is not new, even if the walls have been breached on this, it is still practiced by many. Discrimination of course is not contained to race but by looks, behavior and social class. To further understand Cho, we have to delve into his past which triggered this sad event. Those who are appalled by the tape should stop and think if they are in a state of denial.
