What the hell, the poor guy was lonely. I bet if some of the others had only reached out to him none of this would have happened. Why is the media kicking this poor dead guy around. Bill O'Reilly just called him a loser. It's probably those types of words that set the poor kid off in the first place.
I think we need to show some love for Cho Seung-Hui.

I used to be a lonely guy, but it didn't lead me to kill 33 people.
The money did.

Come on, seriously. You don't get sad looking at Cho's face in those photos. He looks so lonely; he looks like he's about to cry. Too bad I wasn't around, I would have tried to be his buddy.
He just needed a buddy

Regular poor lonely guys jump off bridges or shoot themselves. This poor lonely guy chained door exits so people would be trapped inside, and killed some while having them face the wall execution-style. This ******* was cold-blooded.

well of course i feel much worse for the victims, but that doesn't stop me from feeling bad for the shooter. he's obviously the victim himself in some way. you live with a deranged mind for awhile and tell me how much fun it is. life for this poor guy really sucked. figurative demons invaded his mind.

Not as much as you think.

People come to Washington believing it is the center of power. It was only much later that I learned that Washington is a steering wheel that's not connected to an engine.
I look at the Senators and pray for this country.
It may be true that you can't fool all the people all the time, but you can fool enough of them to rule a large country.

Bill O'Reilly just called him a loser. It's probably those types of words that set the poor kid off in the first place.
I disagree with Bill, for once. I don't think he was a loser. I think, from what little I could gather from his plays and from what people said about him, that he was simply, grade A, old school crazy. He had a horrible case of Antisocial Personality Disorder (the technical term, no the layman usage). He didn't need friends, he needed to be in a mental institution. Honestly, he did.
It was impossible to reach out to him. People tried. Apparently he would just stare blankly and not respond to other people.
He in some way seems different from, say, the Columbine shooters. They had friends (each other). People didn't really think that they were the type to be school shooters. They were odd, for sure, but the extent to which they were deeply troubled was largly undetectable. With this guy, people knew right away after meeting him that he had serious problems.
It's not like "too many people picked on him at school" or "he hated the snobby, popular kids" or whatever the cliches are. I mean, I'm sure all those things were true for him, but in reality his sickness was much deeper than those simple, superficial causes. He was just really, really mentally ill.
That's my opinion, at least.
