Virginia Tech Killer Identified

[almaty 19]

I did think, however, that the picture his classmate painted of him, if true, helps make the story fit. We all know someone who is just not right, or at least knew someone like that, and sometimes with violent tendencies. I feel like that was helpful info for people trying to make sense of this

Incidentally, as a kid I was referred to as a "loner" in at least one school report at primary school (and in all fairness I was), but I never felt the urge to go on a kill-crazy rampage.

Clearly there's a lot more to this - a lot more going on in a person than is immediately apparent from surface appearances. If for nothing else I think this illustrates the dangers of undiagnosed mental illness (indeed the difficulties of diagnosis). I can't believe that a guy would break the social compact and turn himself into a monster simply for being angry - you would have to be very disturbed over a long period of time. And its hard to believe that there would not have been warning signs - of some kind or another. But then again - who seriously expects something like this to happen at school or work? I mean - my company just announced possible "restructuring", should I start looking over my shoulder when I go to the coffee machine?

Agreed. I meant that it helped in painting a picture of the guy, not in making generalizations about others.

Ultimately this is tragic and senseless for all concerned. A lot of people have died for no reason, and one guy has chosen (for whatever reason) to leave an infamous tribute to the world. What's really sad is that this can and will happen again - as it seems there is no shortage of people out there living with borderline psychopathic and sociopathic tendencies.

so true..and it will happen again....

My University's Chancellor sent out a mass email to every faculty, student, and parents about this.

Anybody who have clues that indicate an event will occur can report it to the campus police immediately. Since my University preside on state highway, the police are all state troopers.

As the NYC saying goes, "If you see something, say something!!"

I knew tons of kids who looked like that back in college. Heck, half the engineering building did. The other half looked like me.

i've been waiting for someone to make the connection that you're asian and an engineer

Engineers are copies of one another. They were created in a factory.

This guy is probably a defect from the factory.

Jessie or Al wouldn't help me out anyway. Wrong color.

So instead of therapists, what he needed were some of those crazy Six Sigma guys.

Apparently so, Charles.

Jesse might find that this kid was racist because he decided to carry this out in Blacksburg..

I know.. bad joke but I had to say it..
