no kidding, he needed more then just help. To be honest, from teh christian perspective, i would say he was demon posessed, and then eventually got to the point where he couldn't take it and it got to him. People should have done something about this, they knew he was a weird character right from the beginning.
Then I'd like to hear them explain how could he get the guns, if his teachers had reported him as a potential sicko already to the authorities? How can he pass the background check? Plus, there's no waiting period anyway, is there. He gets the guns right away.
Why did he not have anything in his records, that's another good question.
The whole thing is still so horrific, it's hard to take. This Cho whoever he was was so deranged and young people need to know that he was, so they don't see Cho as some kind of anti-hero. That's what I think Cho tried to do with his videos, he must have prepared for this well ahead of time. He also associated himself with the Columbine killers and in doing so tries to encourage other disenchanted youth to join him in what he does. Sadly his propaganda campaign seems to be successful as the media plays his images, over and over.
But I want to point out my view on what Cho did in the end. He killed himself, and that is an admission of his guilt and wrong-doing. I take solice in that knowing, for all his insane ranting he knew he was wrong in the end. Maybe thats why he killed himself even though he apparently still had lots of bullets.
There is some good in this, it's making a lot of people take a closer look at themselves, whats wrong with society to make this possible. I see that as a positive step.
Back to the original point of this thread. I don't think the video needed to be shown on TV. If people wanted to watch it they could check the internet or read the paper. I find it honorifics and hard to watch and I sometimes change the channel when they show it. I can only imagine what people who actually know someone who goes to that school feel each time they see it. The media plays it again and again and their is no need for it. It is a cheep grab for ratings.
I remind you that I come from a generation that is supposedly desensitized by video games, movies and music. The news media complains about video games when it is the tabloid style media that we call news which is one of the worst offenders.

The deeper question would be how he got to be in this state of mind. Unless he was chemically unbalanced, was this kid loved by his parents? I don't sympathise with what he did, but a victim creates victims. Those of you who have kids , do you tell them you love them? Do you spend time with them? The stronger that foundation is the more stable your kid will be in life. Make sure they express themselves fully and make sure you listen well.
Usually these incident all have a common thread.

i'm right with you, i already made a mention in another topic that its actually the parents fault at most. Kids who have loving parents, who care about them and treat them with respect...don't turn out to be like this man who rampaged the school.
People and authorities are playing our video games and movies because of this, but thats becuase its easy to go ahead and blame out media, but why don't people actually look at what the main problem is, they're "parents" and families they were brought up in.
As for the video, it shouldn't have been played for the students in such a manor, like mentioned above, those who'd want to see it could go on the internet or watch the news to see these sick and horrifying videos.
