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.

It would have been beautiful if that's what they were reading. Horrifying, but something out of movies.
Of course, Smash would just say it was lazy writing, but I'd have been impressed.

Any gun dealer will sell any gun to anyone they can within the law. If I showed up covered in mayonnaise wearing only Glad Cling Wrap and a pope hat reading Catcher in the Rye aloud, they'd still be more than happy to try to upsell me the leather holster to go with my handgun purchase.
Talk about lazy writing.

I don't know where people are getting the info that what he wanted from all this was to be known, but I do know that people often set goals which do not lead to overall success, so succeeding in fruitless goals is still not a success.
If my idea of success is to be a millionaire and my plan to achieve this is to sit on my *** all day, I can't really be considered a success for sitting on my *** all day. Anyone who throws their life away has not succeeded, they have surrendered.

Tell that to a kamikaze pilot.

Thanks for the 8th grade health class party line, but really he was a massive success at life. I'm not sure how anyone could possibly arrive at any other opinion
30 hardly equals "massive success."
At least suicide bombers kill upwards of 100.
And if his goal was to equalize himself and the rich people, he would have needed to kill, what, 100 million to be successful? Or at least elicit a response with his killings that led to some sort of grand equality movement.
Unless trading 1-for-1 straight up is considered a success, in which case he was that 30 times over.

There are obvious exceptions such as how some people believe that after they die, they still exist, but if in reality, they don't, then they are still utter failures.
War is an exception to... if you are giving your life to protect the life and happiness of other people, then you are still proliferating the human goal.

I don't know how anyone could claim him as a triumph without fully knowing his motives. It would be the full understanding of his motives that could lead someone to make an immediate conclusion that he was triumphant, and they have only scratched the surface of his motives.
Historical rememberance may only be the by-product of what he was actually trying to succeed/triumph at.
I personally just don't get how being remembered is a success at all, even if that's what you were going for.
I mean, we all remember George Washington. Do we honor him? Meh, not really, and I doubt he's eating it all up with his wooden teeth that we learn about him in elementary school.
The more I think about it, the more I think it doesn't really matter if he wanted to be known. It's like the old saying, won the battle but lost the war. He still failed at acheiving his ultimate objective.

And that's fine, if that is your goal.
Setting aside for a moment that this kid was squirrel bait, he did achieve what he set out to do. Whether it was to avenge perceived class wrongs, or gain notoriety, he got there. Sick and sad... but successful.
That, of course, is the problem with mental illness. He wasn't trying to achieve a goal the rest of us can really understand.

I think it's pretty obvious what he wanted to do, and he succeeded. He wanted to kill himself (goodbye cruel world) and he wanted to take out all of the suppressed rage he had been burying his whole life. But he also wanted to inform people of his position in life, and how this society and the people in it made him feel.
This was an act of terrorism, and it was homegrown. We made Cho. Everytime you laugh at someone who is different or doesn't understand. Everytime you ridicule and demean somone for being themselves. Everytime you dismiss someone as unimportant or irrelevant, you are creating another potential terrorist.
Why do we feel that we are not responsible for Cho's rampage? It is easier to write him off as a mentally deranged foreigner, an outsider with no clear understanding of reality, than to accept responsibility as a society for socially abusing people and living in excess. That is what Cho hated. He hated us, he hated the way we lived, and he hated the way we treat each other.
It was an act of self destruction and a cry to the world to stop this type of behavior before we crumble and fail as a society and as a world community.
Regarding the media frenzy:
Eye on the TV
'cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavor
It happens to be
Cause I need to watch things die
From a distance
Vicariously, I
Live while the whole world dies
You all need it too - don't lie.

Well, not EVERY time.

Again, that's like winning a battle and losing the war. Cho was about as successful as the war in Iraq. His actions were an admission of failure and defeat.

You don't know that. You don't know that, because you don't know what battle, what war, he was fighting. And you don't know THAT because he was delusional, and you're not privy to the scattered and nonsequential thought processes going on in his head.
As far as we know, he died a hero in his own eyes. Well, eye.
