Ok, we know exactly what happened, Cho went and killed 32 people in a shooting spree.
But Cho’s behavior raised warning flags long before shooting rampage.
– Dr. Michael Wellner, a forensic psychiatrist said, “Cho demonstrated alienation and contempt common in mass murderers”.
– He wrote twisted and violent plays and poems, at one point his poetry teacher said she would quit if he was not removed from her class.
– Cho was declared an “imminent danger to himself because of mental illness” in 2005
– He was severely abused by his peers in middle school and high school.
But what happened when these warning flags came up?
Nothing, he kept building to an inevitable explosion, and nobody did a damn thing.
The only thing we hear now is “There was nothing that could or should have led them to put Cho away”
I’m sorry, I don’t believe that. We were too worried about the rights of one disturbed young man that we allowed him to kill 32 others.
It seems we can only look back in shock when these things happen, but we can never do anything to prevent them.
Who’s fault is that, Cho’s?
