It's a triumph if that's what he was going for, which it was...

Of course it does. It's exactly what he wanted.

I agree, I just think from his personal experience of life his actions were a triumph and not a failure.
Well, in that swiss-cheese mess that used to be his skull I'm sure it was, but you have to understand how that's hard for those of us with intact mindgoo to grasp. My brain no worky that way. I think of his mother, the hopes she had for him, and think "What a damn waste. Stupid."
Also, he's the one his success would have made sense to and he's dead, so I win. Yay me.

Quote:
I'd like it if such things never happened, but pretending the guy's life is a failure is lying about our measures of achievement. When you live in a world where 50 times as many people know who Charles Manson was than who Linus Pauling was, you have to accept what the standards are for relative importance in life. We'll remember him for years as thousands of saint like people we'll never even realize existed die in obscurity.
I'm honestly interested in this viewpoint, because it's very foreign to my own and hard for me to validate. I recognize Charles Manson, but I have no idea who Linus Pauling is. I've read my share of murder stories and watched my share of Unsolved Mysteries, but I always come out feeling the same: What a damn shame. I can't remember most of these folks names, and in Cho's case, I can't even spell them. Some success. He should have changed it to Johnny Lee Killer or something.

Loser.

Im not so certain of that as you are, although I have not read through all his musings/poetry/plays as yet. I can't stomach the exploitive nature of the media regarding this at the moment, but will eventually comb through it.

I suspect more he was seeking an un-balanced version of justice beyond simply historical remembrance.

True. Here's a mnemonic device to help. Cho Seung-hui, chosen way. There! Now you can remember. Dyslexia rules.

They had footage similar to this cho guy; unfortunately the govn wasn't able to confiscate cho's material and the media was more than happy to immortalize his actions.

I can name them both, but only their first names. I forget their last names, although I'm sure I'd know who they were if someone said "Who were ______ and ______?"

That's what you get for allowing the Devil's news network in your house.

(no disrespect intended to other Fox programming like the Simpsons and...um...the Simpsons)

Nothing is obvious regarding this, no matter how big you type it;-)

You are speculating along with the rest of the planet.

Was he being mercilessly tormented by his peers/roommates for being the whackjob who never ever spoke...and will address that very point somewhere in his delivered messages to mede out some sort of beyond the grave justice against them?

Was he still being molested in some form or other...and be getting a measure of justice with their being exposed?

I'm not as certain as you seem to be that it was for historical recognition, but the facts aren't all in yet either.

One of the last names kinda sounds like Diebold, which also confused the hell out of me for a while there.

God Bless American culture.

Chris Davids, a Virginia Tech senior who graduated from Westfield High School in Chantilly, Va., with Cho in 2003, recalled that the South Korean immigrant almost never opened his mouth and would ignore attempts to strike up a conversation.

Once, in English class, the teacher had the students read aloud, and when it was Cho's turn, he just looked down in silence, Davids recalled. Finally, after the teacher threatened him with an F for participation, Cho started to read in a strange, deep voice that sounded "like he had something in his mouth," Davids said.

"As soon as he started reading, the whole class started laughing and pointing and saying, `Go back to China,'" Davids said.


Can't imagine why he snapped.
