aggienaut | Virginia Tech Shooting

   To connect some dots I haven't seen connected in any of the news reports: (1) Shooter kills girlfriend / girl he wishes was his girlfriend (Reports contradict. I'm assuming the latter because he sounds like a loser); ... (2) Police take girlfriends real boyfriend / lover into custody as a suspect; (3) shooter begins shooting people in classrooms, reportedly in an effort to hunt down and kill the real boyfriend; (4) Real boyfriend is being interrogated by police when the shots break out.
   Being the initial suspect probably saved the real boyfriends life. If he hadn't been in custody he'd have been in the class the shooter expected him to be in.

   In other news: "Earlier Tuesday, Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing sent a telegram to US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, expressing shock and condolences as well." -- Who sends telegrams anymore, seriously?!

I dunno about making fun of his accent -- he apparently didn't really talk. Sounds like he had major issues.

that's what i heard: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070419/ap_on_re_us/virginia_tech_shooting

"Once, in English class, the teacher had the students read aloud, and when it was Cho's turn, he just looked down in silence, Davids recalled. Finally, after the teacher threatened him with an F for participation, Cho started to read in a strange, deep voice that sounded "like he had something in his mouth," Davids said.

"As soon as he started reading, the whole class started laughing and pointing and saying, `Go back to China,'" Davids said."

poor guy...

Well then, thats rude. That appears to have occured in junior high though, I'd imagine his accent had gotten better since then and people less prone to making fun of him. Anyway it sounds like he was a deeply disturbed young man.
