listened to Loveline last night coming back from my girlfriend's house. Dr. Drew was coming down really hard on the school for not taking his mental illness serious. he had some really insightful things to say about how easy he could of been treated, and even he could of been saved, not to mention the other 32. the warning signs and so on should of been easily picked up on.

dont come off wrong, im not blaming anyone in all honesty. just.. it was brought up to people. its not like no one knew he had problems.

yea, no real point to posting that, i just thought it was interesting to hear his point of view on the thing. anyone else listen to what he has said the past couple nights about the situation?

Could be. But the strange thing is that this happened on Tuesday. Apparently they didn't get those videos until Wednesday. And it's weird that the agent referred to them as "surveillance".

I don't know. I'm sure we'll find out all kinds of crazy stuff about this guy in the coming weeks. And I'm sure there will be stuff about him that they won't release to the public.

yes that was bugging the crap out of me...i think it was chris matthews (hardball) that kept referring to it as a "black headband" which all of a sudden made him suicidal?? he referred to it as a headband at least 4 times in one segment...i dunno why it bugged me so bad...media morons

Yeesh. I can't wait for the media spin on this

http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/...261402,00.html
Police believe the Virginia gunman may have been copying scenes from a film when he carried out his killing spree.

Detectives say Cho Seung-Hui repeatedly watched the South Korean movie Oldboy in the days leading up to the massacre in which 32 people were killed.

The film's themes of obsession and revenge also occur in Cho's own writings.
The "he was influenced by violent video games" theory has already been tossed out the window, so idiots like Dr. Phil and Jack Thompson look extra douchey now.

You know... I've seen Oldboy. I think I even own a copy somewhere. I don't remember it being much like this though...

For those that have seen the pictures that Cho had included in his manifesto, one of them is of him (seemingly) inexplicably wielding a hammer. That, and the picture of him with the gun to his head are being compared to scenes from Oldboy.

If you go on drudge, the comparison pics are there.
