The one and only Gooch points me to nutjob Edward O'Donnell of Wilmington, DE -- who actually thinks the loon who killed over 30 people at Virginia Tech had, well, justification (my emphasis):
No mention was made of the fact that someone or many people must have mistreated the shooter since childhood to create such rage.No mention of the fact that many of his complaints were valid.
There is no spirit of remorse or repentance at Virginia Tech about the school's weaknesses.
No mention was made of the fact that the shooter was being gossipped about, laughed at, and ridiculed by cruel Virginia Tech students and faculty for years.
This may have pushed him over the edge.
The president of Virginia Tech learned nothing - nothing - from the incident.
The simplistic and one-dimensional coverage of the Virginia Tech incident by the media demonstrates how the press has destroyed the world.
Many of his complaints were ... valid? That what -- VA Tech has a lot of snotty rich kids inhabiting its campus? And who hasn't mentioned his [supposed] mistreatment from the past? So, someone should "teach [VA Tech folk] a lesson" -- by ending their lives?? What about how he was harassing numerous young women? Stalking them, even? Yeah, that's nothing to "pick on" someone about. Y'know, someone acting like a complete freak. Please.
People are picked on and harassed all the time. It's clearly no justification for mass murder. Only a mental pygmy would think so. The VA Tech killer's incidence of mental health problems goes back years. To even attempt to lay the blame on the folks at VA Tech is perverted, sick and twisted.
Oh, and 'ol Eddie suffers from BDS -- Bush Derangement Syndrome -- as well:
The first thing he [the pres. of VA Tech] does after the incident is to invite or allow George Bush - one of the worst mass murderers in history - to speak at the school.
But wait -- using Eddie's "logic," Bush must have a legitimate REASON for those mass murders!! Maybe he too suffered as Cho did, right?
Ed -- get help. Now.
Hube, did you catch the part where HIS OWN FAMILY wouldn't even talk to him?!? I say that's where it all begins. You learn how to live in society by treating your families right. If your family won't help you why should I? (speaking of welfare and taxes, etc) ...
