Cho: The Warning Signs

Virginia Tech English major Cho Seung-Hui was a known threat.

Like the Columbine shooters, there were plenty of warning signs that he was about to explode.

BLACKSBURG, Va. -- The gunman suspected of carrying out the Virginia Tech massacre that left 33 people dead was identified Tuesday as a English major whose creative writing was so disturbing that he was referred to the school's counseling service.

News reports also said that he may have been taking medication for depression, that he was becoming increasingly violent and erratic, and that he left a note in his dorm in which he railed against "rich kids," "debauchery" and "deceitful charlatans" on campus.

...Professor Carolyn Rude, chairwoman of the university's English department, said she did not personally know the gunman. But she said she spoke with Lucinda Roy, the department's director of creative writing, who had Cho in one of her classes and described him as "troubled."

"There was some concern about him," Rude said. "Sometimes, in creative writing, people reveal things and you never know if it's creative or if they're describing things, if they're imagining things or just how real it might be. But we're all alert to not ignore things like this."

She said Cho was referred to the counseling service, but she said she did not know when, or what the outcome was. Rude refused to release any of his writings or his grades, citing privacy laws.

The Chicago Tribune reported on its Web site that he left a note in his dorm room that included a rambling list of grievances. Citing identified sources, the Tribune said he had recently shown troubling signs, including setting a fire in a dorm room and stalking some women.

Investigators believe Cho at some point had been taking medication for depression, the newspaper reported.

OK.

Now we have a slew of more people to blame for the 32 murders.

Of course, university president Charles Steger has been deemed responsible for the carnage.

In addition to every member of the NRA, we can fault members of the Virginia Tech English department.

I suppose we must also blame the inadequate counseling services on campus.

We also need to point fingers at every student that was aware of Cho's erratic behavior. They should have done something. They're guilty, too.

Don't forget those "rich kids."

They did this. They pushed Cho over the edge.

Cho left a note, explaining his actions.

He clearly assigns blame.

Sources have now described the note, which runs several pages, as beginning in the present tense and then shifting to the past tense. It contains rhetoric explaining Cho's actions and says, "You caused me to do this," the sources told ABC News.

So, if you monitor the media, you'll learn that there are many people with blood on their hands.

Some nuts are considering anyone who owns a gun to be complicit in the murders.

Yes, there are millions of people responsible for the deaths.

And don't let the actual guns that Cho used off the hook. Inanimate objects are responsible for killing 32 people on the Virginia Tech campus yesterday.

BS.

I think ONE person is responsible for the slaughter:
