The media should have NEVER released the package on-air. The police and school officials could have viewed it privately, then held a press release stating what it showed.
Sure, some would have wanted to see it, but it is only causing more harm.

i think its okay to air it just because cho had something to say for the americans. however i thought they released this tape too soon, since the people at VT are still hurt from the shootings just 2 days ago. media is ridiculous, all they want is to get their ratings up by getting any kind of juicy information they find or have. the media doesnt care about the VT shootings honestly, they're all in it for the money. they dont even take the people who are effected greatly into consideration of how they might feel if they see this video.

He wanted to be in the spot light and made sure he was. I really don't think that stuff should have been aired. These people lost loved ones and in a lot of cases their only child. I am so upset with the media right now. Leave those people alone and let them grieve. In a strange demented way...people are entertained by all this crap. It is such a horrible tragedy and there is nothing anyone can say or do to help those people right now. I have no idea how they are feeling and there is nothing anyone can do, except pray that they will find some peace soon. God Bless them all!

This is just another way of him saying "I DID IT MY WAY"... The whole thing must've gone through his head over and over again... Every step he took he calculated, and the attention he NEVER got, now he's getting it... Im not sure why Im not as shocked as I should be.... Maybe is because we went through this before, or becuase we've been through worse, that it almost feels like we're ready for this... This guy had problems, and help wasnt given... So in the end, who should we REALLY blame???... I wouldnt think is ok for a guy that was stalking me to walk around like a regular person... I dont know, is point blank to me... Im not giving it that much attention, the people you should be talking about is the victims friends and family... Or how you would've felt if it was one your loved ones... Remember this is what he wanted, every answer we give, is just another thing he can scratch off his list

Because, it's what terrorism is all about, "Look what I did...none of you are safe..." and the stupid news media is only to happy to oblige, just like they are in Iraq. It was jihad.

it IS scary. he's obviously mental, so emo. but i feel sorry for his parents who work in a dry cleaning store. they probably spent many days ironing clothes for their son's tuition, only to find him killing himself along with 32 other people. sad.
