Sympathy for Cho, anyone?

Question

Seems like he had suffered abuse, since one doesnt hate others so blatantly without first introduce to the hate itself. He was a victim of abuse. My sympathy for all the victims family and ALSO CHO's family.

Answer 1

Only that he needed help that he didn't get. But some it was his own doing. He retreated from those who DID try to help him. He was one of those people with the attitude, "Poor little me." He didn't try to fit in and rejected help offered to him. He was self centered and bitter because he didn't have everything some others had. Only a truly selfish person does what he did when he knew very well it was wrong. Imagine what this did to his parents. He was a selfish, inconsiderate @ZZ.

EDIT#1
I learned today he was badly abused in middle and high school. That had a hand in turning him bitter. You people out there reading this better remember that teasing and abusing your classmates can have terrible consequences. I in NO WAY condone what CHO did but you can begin to see there is a cause and effect here. Those of you who taunted CHO helped put him in the state of mind that caused the anger behind the trigger. Take a minute, think about that, and resolve to do your part in teaching youngere school age kids that they must not tease and abuse others. OR, there will be more incidents like this.

Answer 2

Only those who have suffered from abuse, or attend or know somebody who attends Virginia Tech have the right to attack Cho. Everybody else is clueless. That is not meant to be mean, but if you have lived a happy go lucky life, you don't know what it is like to actually live in hell your whole life. Cho deserved to get the help that he needed (he needed to be institutionalized for a long period of time), and for the fact that he didn't get that help and lived a tortured life for over 20 years, he gets my sympathy. Laws need to be changed in the wake of this tragedy. Thank you.

Answer 3

He was still a mass killer. He was totally culpable for this actions and will have to answer to God for them. What's going on here is that some young people feel alienation that becomes dangerous. People get hurt by others, but sometimes a bitter root takes hold, and the mind becomes poisoned. It was too late for this kid. In the book of Genesis, God said that it is not good for man to be alone. Unfortunately, some people who act differently than the majority are unfairly shunned and ostracized and they can't make friends or be loved by anyone, so they die spiritually. Even before Cho turned the gun on himself, he had already died long ago.

Answer 4

No - I felt undesirable also. He had psychological themes or perhaps as what he did replaced into way incorrect, bullying replaced into possibly also component of the region. you're not any more ill contained in the precise. also, i desire the bullying has stopped. Their are extremely some overseas students at my college (many Korean) and that i imagine in a fashion a number of them are self isolated. This sounds stupid i'm positive, yet i trust like they're the gang that i will not connect - no longer any opposite direction round. Wierd- huh? So don't worry about the language. in basic terms talk over with human beings and they'll talk decrease back. with somewhat of success, maximum persons will be style and attempt to take heed to you. also, do not talk too quietly by the undeniable fact that makes it extra sturdy to understand! playstation : i imagine accents are truly gorgeous. in basic terms be pleasant and talk over with human beings. you're not any more Cho. you're typical and not in any respect ill at keen about feeling sympathy.

Answer 5

I think we need to go straight to the source - his parents. Before we can pass judgement. Obviously, this is not the product of a loving home. It was also said he had no visitors incl. his parents. Even if his behaviour was intolerable, at the end of the day parents should behave differently from society. They are parents and must act maturely and supportive even if he was a jerk to them. A lot of our behaviour is learned from our parents in our formative years. I think the family suffered from low-self esteem from their poor background initially. Having to come to the US w/o anything and no friends here must
've been very difficult. This family is used to isolation. For some isolation works but for others no. I don't know enough about his parents but I do know in Asia, Asians can be extremely judgemental within their own society. So if you are not wealthy, life can be tough over there. My heart goes out to everyone who has suffered from this. It's an extremely sad story that should've never happened. This is why it's important for families to support each other. This is also another reason why we should not judge people so harshly. People really need a chance in life. That one chance could help change a person positively.

Answer 6

I felt like, after reading his 'plays', that he could have been sexually abused or something because that was a big part of both of the ones I read. If that is the case, it could have been the beginning of his mental problems. I am sorry that he killed all those people before he killed himself and I feel bad that he thought it was the only option he had. I would like for the parents to have to answer some tough questions about his life in earlier years to determine if that had anything to do with his mental disorder. God bless all the families of the victims at VT.

Answer 7

I do feel sorry for him, in the fact that he was obviously mentally ill....and that he described being in so much pain...being so miserable. I do feel sorry for people who live in pain all of their lives...especially if they are abused. But I know that we are never given a situation we can't handle (by God, in my belief) I have seen a lot of people change their lives for the better when they have been mistreated, or abused. It is no excuse to treat other people terribly, better yet take their lives and devastate their loved ones.

I feel sorry that he acted like he had no conscious....when I think that deep down, he did. He was obviously hurting and he became so ill that he developed a plan of revenge to those who "made" him hurt, though they were actually innocent.Hhe made himself believe that he did not care about how he would be hurting other people/taking other people's lives. I heard part of the video he sent out where he said "You made me do this!" It seems like he was ill....not completely evil. He knew what he was doing was wrong, but he was blaming it on other people to justify it. Its devastating.... I wish he would've gotten help, or at least been put into an institution, before he had time to think up this terrible "fantasy" of his.

I do feel very sorry for his family. I have not heard much about them, but I hope they are sane people. I hope that they did not play a part in his behaivor by the way they treated him (though I'm sure they didn't) They have to be in a tremendous amount of pain as well.

Answer 8

i do feel a little sympathy, but it about as much as i feel for a mad dog thats been put to sleep. Cause thats exactly what he was. He was a complete wack job. theres no point in trying to understand him cause you can not be human to undertand him, he is truely in his own world. he is a compete psychopath and schizophrenic, social anxiety disorder, the amount of mental issues go on on and on. The real question is how he able to get this far in his disorder without others taking serious notice. Like a mad dog though i do wonder how a puppy can turn into this monster. I would hope people like this somehow get diagniosed and treated before they can cause harm to others and themselves.

Answer 9

My deep condolences to all the families involved in this tragity, including Chos family. Not one bit of my sympathy gose to Cho, as we are learning, people were trying to reach out to him. Many people go through abuse and don't go out and kill 32 people. I also wish the media would stop giving this creep all the attention they are giving him.

Answer 10

Sympathy rating negative to infinity and beyond! If he was so angry - why not just kill his sick self instead of taking innocent lives who could have brought so much good to our nation? He wasn't even a citizen - a country where we were giving him the opportunity of a lifetime and this is how he chooses to repay??? I know what hatred is and I choose not to hate - anyone can. I have sympathy for Cho's family who probably had no idea about his mental state and obvious emotional needs. You know - people should have reached out to him but everybody knows - people dont' think about that in college - alot of people fall through the social cracks - and it's hard - but no excuse for this. No excuse - I'll bet any one of the people who died would have tried to help him in a heartbeat if he was willing to reach out to people instead of complaining about why people didn't reach out in kindness to him. What a totally selfish thing to do. It was completely EVIL sick and wrong.
