Cho Seung-hui? your opinion about him?

Question

i personally feel pity on him he was a sick man. people are feeling alot of hatred towards him, I feel pity for people who do things like that because I know there is no way in hell he is a normal human bein, he probably needed help a long time ago and never saught it. god rest the souls of those victims and his maybe he is finally sane in the after life.

Answer 1

There's no one to blame for this massacre than Cho himself. He was a sick monster and needed to get locked away.

That said, it's pretty pathetic that some of you resort to using racial slurs to denounce one guy, when no one said "damn rednecks!" when Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold shot up Columbine. But there was plenty of "Death to all camel jockeys!" after 9/11. Do you realize that the mass majority of non-white legal American citizens want nothing to do with murderers of their same race? Most people want what everyone wants: a normal, happy life.

You realize that the entire country of South Korea immediately renounced this psycho after they found out he was Korean?

Did you know that one of his victims was Vietnamese? How would that family feel if they were targeted for being Asian ALONG WITH having lost a loved one?

Stop the wide blanket of hate and maybe some of this crap wouldn't happen so much. There's been too many innocent victims already. Let's not start making more.

My heartfelt condolences to all those who suffered and continue to suffer from this ordeal.

Answer 2

He was a very sick individual. And there are so many more out there. They come in every color, nationality, religion, economic background and size. Society doesn't take very well to mentally ill people. They think that these people "know" what they are doing, and that they can seperate what's real and what's not. The family of a mentally ill person will tell you it is not easy to get help. He was very ill. Even in his writings yet no one believed he was capable of doing anything wrong. In Morris County NJ an ex-police officer was released from jail and sent home to his wife and two daughters after a judge found him to "not" be a threat to himself or anyone while on medication. He was jailed for killing his family pet, dog by crushing the animals skull with a bat and then stabbing it 50 times! When he was off his medication. Most people on medication especially anti-psychotics don't belive they have a problem in the first place. Then once they feel better get off the medication. I think that the world of mental illness should be dealt with sooner than later. Not all sufferers of mental illness are a danger to others. But I'm speaking for the ones that show signs of mistreatment to animals, themselves and others. I truly pray for everyone that is affected not only by this tragedy, but also to those that are dealing with severe mental illness and their families. For those feeling hatred they should take a moment and think, think about their feelings and try to understand that a mental breakdown can happen to anyone at any time. Instead of feeling hatred learn how to keep your mind healthy and also to recognize the signs of illness in others.

Answer 3

Well...he was molested and suffered a lot from his step-father so I had some pity on him but very few. But he mostly killed all the innocent hardworking, kind, good looking students and teachers and students who didn't deserve the death they had. Then he mailed a package to NBC and showed the weapons. I, personally, was mad at NBC for showing the package because it gave him 15 minutes of fame from all around the world and gave shame to South Korea since usually South Korea usually was mostly a calmer country then the North. Therefore, there will be discrimination for the Koreans. Also on the news, they say that immigrants should not come to this country. This incident this Monday that Cho caused made some people more racist to the foreign immigrants.

Answer 4

He's merely the result of our society ... our parents, the way we were brought up, our friends, our environment, our education, ... all of that (and more) make what we are today ... some, as i believe Mr Cho Seung-hui (didn't know that was his name and doesn't really matter), get a strange mix of all of the above which ends up in a cocktail that was going to explode one day anyway. At least let it be a signal for the rest of the world so we can hopefully learn from it and try to become better as a group, a community, ... a society.

Answer 5

A disturbed victim who needed serious mental help/a mass murderer.

I also feel some form of pity for this guy. He never felt the affection a normal human being usually craves. From his psycho words he spoke in his package to NBC, I could conclude that his life was bitter and full of hate others instilled in him. It's sad that he wasn't able to gather the strength to get through his final year of college and out into the real world where everyone is keeps his/her head down and goes through life in the fast lane. Once the horrible "school" part was over, he could possibly be able to live a potentially normal life.

But he didn't seek the help he so sorely needed. And thus, he killed 32 people, injured 22... and killed himself.

Answer 6

Look, don't get me wrong, I am not a racistist, but I am not a bleedeeding heart liberal either..... I call a SPADE a SPADE.
The truth is, I current teach English to Koreans in the Philippines and have done so for the past 3 years. The Korean people are one of the most disfunctional races on the face of this planet. I know this not from any pre-determined agenda about race, but from hands on, first person experience. They are overly sensitive, self serving, arrogaunt, and 2-faced. Would I have one as a true friend?..., I DO have MANY. And the right thinking Koreans who have looked at thier current culture and behavior will be the first to tell you what I just have.
This murderer, is a product of his own demented mind. Many foriginers live in the USA, that is what America is (diverse) and some experience harships as well....but most fall short of mass murder. This guy was a creep for years, as reported, yet the good Americans were sensitive as to give him chance after chance by not locking him up... a fault true.... but none the less much better than he could have enjoyed in his own country.
Screw him and his demented mind.

Answer 7

I don't really feel bad for him, but I see his points on things. I was very upset to see that every thing I saw that was written about him was "Asian" this "Asian" that, and how he came here when he was 8. Why should that part even matter? It shouldn't, at all. I even wrote to my local newspaper about it. I don't believe what he did was right, but maybe after a second time, people will get it through their heads, to not be mean to people. (Yes, I believe the Columbine kids killed because they were made fun of.) I have been made fun of just like these killers, but I would never do anything drastic like that. So I don't belive being made fun of is a good reason to kill, none is. I hope the all the people that lost someone heal quickly. I wish things like this would never happen...

Answer 8

i presumed his performs weren't something specific. They have been far extra violent than something i might write yet there are various, many performs and flicks that are lots extra violent than his. i do no longer think of we can seem at this because of the fact the only warning call for Cho Seung-hui. human beings are complicated and that they might't be simplified and pushed into categories or profiles. He of course grew to become into remoted yet from what i've got heard, almost no longer able to get something out of. He grew to become into unreachable by using his fellow scholars and professors. He grew to become into additionally frequently happening to be a stalker and referred to himself as a question mark on numerous events. those are lots extra extreme symptoms and indicators than violent performs. those are the signs and indicators of somebody who isn't suitable integrating into society, a minimum of no longer on an invaluable foundation. while somebody has one in all those indifferent view of society, they might justify any action, which contain mass homicide. there's no remorseful approximately for somebody who does not sense empathy. i'm hoping human beings study from this incident that they might desire to be extra at the same time with others quite than unique. anybody is human and needs to sense lined a minimum of in some small way. I on no account knew Cho Seung-hui yet I want that somebody extremely tried to realize him.

Answer 9

Although we may think Model Minority applies to 1st generation Asian American, those who have assimilated easier would get or atleast accept the support. In my opinion, I do believe that Cho's state of mind started when he was a boy entering the states. Yes, do try to understand. I don't think the "liberal media" has understood what it means to be an Asian American Male in the 20th/21st Century, when all images, pop-cultural references, etc. etc. stem from everything else except of being "male" and Asian American. Yes we do have Ichiro, but is he really Asian American or an a import from another country playing baseball. Do we not have "good" baseball players of Asian American descent who can achieve star status? Yes! We do! But the system that was setup from all walks of life works against the AsAm Male. So therefore the "claim" is we do not.

As far as understanding the troublespots or "clues"? I dont' think all of the infrastructure that was available to Cho was there to work in his favor. Yes the tide was against him but he had no help and quite possibly those who tried were not educated about the problem with regards to the psyche of the Asian American male. There are no role-models and if there are ~ there are not enough. Please go ahead and start to list of the negatives of the AsAm male. I would think that you can create a longer list than a postive list. I wish the list would be equal but I as myself (AsAm male) on daily basis want the postive list to be longer.

Cho came from the Northern Virginia suburbs where status of family, income, friends, school, etc, etc. play a whole part as to he has become the person that he is. Its suburbia. You have your wanna-be families that strive for everything, a so-called attempt at diversity when compared to metros like NY, LA, SF or CHI.

Cho may have become an insular person himself as a boy, but let us assume that certain events during his adolescent years triggered negative experiences. He may have a number of times socialize, or become part of a group and chances are that he as shunned away for whatever reason. Cultural bias from within the Asian American community and most likely from outside.

His sister went to Princeton, while Cho goes to VT. While college anywhere is an achievement, there are those in the AsAm community for some reason and not all members believe going to prestigous schools is the #1 priority. That it self may have played a great negative experience for Cho. By going to VT, this may not have been the best for him and not only that ~ a college experience were there was probably not enough of Asian American support for him. I mean that those institutions or organizations that needed to understand that there are AsAm issues and they were not trained to atleast document or communicate the problem to others.

Yes, for any person who has trouble socially needs to be told "just be yourself". Let's not think about race, creed or sexuality. Let us move beyond that.

What Cho did was wrong. Where and when he did was wrong. This could have happened anywhere here in the USA because there is a large cultural bias that is not favorable toward the AsAm male. Admit it where do you see the positives? Oh yes there is Tiger Woods. (Yippee! **sarcasm**)

Answer 10

I agree with you. He was tortured as a child and didn't understand English when he was younger either (as he was an immigrant). These two things would definitely get someone to snap.

But I feel he needs to be punished for taking down so many innocent lives (one of the victims was a personal friend of many people in my town). Also, he has set up a bad image of an Asian. (Even I personally think ALL PEOPLE WHO ARE BEING RACIST ABOUT THIS ISSUE ARE BEING RIDICULOUS BECAUSE HE IS ONE PERSON AND IS NOT REPRESENTING KOREA!)

I have some choice words for Mr. Cho right now (some of OK stuff... you know, before he was a murderer. But more than 99.9% of it is hatred.) I'm speaking out of anger right now because of this cruel act of violence (the story of the Holocaust survivor professor who tried to save his students still jerks tears from my eyes). I also have many MANY MANY MANY MANY words for those racist *****!!!!!!

I'm sorry... I just can't stand reading any more Asian jokes :(

Answer 11

I don't like what he did. It's really sad all the way around the victims who got killed and for him committed suicide. May all their souls rest in peace, even CHO SEUNG- HUI. Someone at the college should have got him mental help. They knew about him two years ago. This massacre could have been prevented.
