Alright maybe I am beating a dead horse here but I have to make another comment on the V-tech shootings. Cho states in his video "When the time came, I did it. I had to." "You had a hundred billion ways to avoid today but you decided to spill my blood. You forced me into a corner and gave me only one option. The decision was yours, now you have blood on your hands that will never wash off." At which point he goes on rants about how all the rich destroyed his life. Now maybe I am going to sound a little insensitive here but honestly I don't care if that is how I sound because this kid has caused such a surge of emotion in me (Who was not linked in any way to anybody murdered) that I feel I should be blunt. This kid didn't want to get any better. Connecting this with my previous movie review of "Quitting" it takes more than just a support system more than just a person to identify that you need help and more than just asking for help. It takes all three of these things. One needs to identify the problem, find the support they need, and WANT to get better. This kid had his parents try and get him help, he had teachers try and get him help, and he had a University that had a program to help him. The only thing that he didn't have was a desire to help himself. He blames everybody else for everything that has been bad in his life. He CHOSE to commit these attrocities. He didn't want to get better. I have had a lot of shitty people in my life that have been assholes, yet I have dealt with issues in a non-violent way. No life is perfect, even when it appears that somebody has it all, they didn't always and their is bound to be some pain in their lives. Even God has wept. Does somebody who has a silver spoon in their gob know how to really take care of themselves? Do they secretly wish to be something that they are not? Of course, we are all only human. Obviously this kid needed to feel empowered somehow. There are various outlets in life that one can go to, some feel it is religion, others just need a friend to talk to, Cho chose a violent one because he gave into hate and anger. He blames all those that were assholes to him, yet in the end he continued the chain. With any type of abuse it forms a chain of abuse (ie a person who is sexually abused has a tendency to abuse and those that they abuse, abuse others and so forth) and it takes a strong person to break the chain. Obviously Cho resorted to being worse than those that abused him. So I urge people to help others help themselves. And as I always like to put it, I am sure that the devil has a special room for Cho where Cho gets a pitchfork up the ass at least twice a day if not in other places. But what do I know?
Furthermore is these dumbasses who are trying to get attention by doing other things like bomb threats and written threats to get attention. Ugh! I am tired of this bullshit! The mark of a true champion is falling and picking yourself up.
