He was EVIL, it's just that simple!
As to his defense that he was bullied, and that somehow makes his actions justified ... BULL****!
Thousands of people were bullied in high school, college, and on the job (I was one of them!).
Shirts ripped off my back, kicked in the nuts, beaten, items stolen from me, ganged up on, humiliated, you name it I was a target for it!
How many people did I kill because of this abuse? NONE! Even when they dropped my pants in the hallway, ALL of my tormentors survived!
My retaliation took the form of self defense, which when it is three (or more) on one, was not too successful!
I met my tormentors at a 20 year high school reunion a few years ago, and we had a great time laughing at my "greatest moments." As I aged, I realized that my high school years really were as bad as I remembered, but as I look back on myself at that age ... I would have probably "joined in" on the abuse if I were a member of the popular groups, I was a strange talking (Southern accent in the North), goofy looking (no kidding 6 feet tall, 125 pounds in the tenth grade! A walking toothpick! With a GI brushcut no less!), uncoordinated fool!
We have to accept that some people will be mean to those who are "different", they are not evil ... just immature (like most high school aged people are), suffer the insults now, defend yourself against assaults, and wait for maturity!
Chances are you will look back on yourself, years later, and laugh at yourself!
Even if you were the "unpopular geek, goth, freak, lunatic, whatever" in your high school class ... voted "most likely to become a serial killer" Do not miss your reunions! Even if it WAS a bad as you remembered, time heals all wounds!
At my 20 year reunion, I finally got the nerve to make a pass at the cutest cheerleader on the squad (who would not have given me the time of day in high school), and had her blushing in front of the whole gang! LOL ... The people in my graduating class that made me feel the worst in high school ... were pretty cool 20 years later!
Geeks, nerds, spazoids, goth freaks, "crazy redneck weirdos" (my personal niche in the high school matrix), take heart! 20 years later (perhaps I'm a little slow, maybe 10 years later for some folks), you will be able to laugh at yourself as you were in high school ... and laugh WITH the popular folks from your old high school class!
I still see a few of the old high school class at the old rental counter ... and when I have time we pass the time remembering high school moments. It seems terrible now, but in a few years, it won't be so bad!
This is getting long (OK ... it's already too long) so I'll sign off

OK, guns may not kill people, but they sure do make it very easy. I agree with the concept of separation from violence you've mentioned. Some people here seemed kind of irrational - how easy do you think it would be to kill a group of 30 people with a baseball bat? How easy would it be for one person to kill a group of people by pushing them out the window? As for the bombs, come on... Making a bomb is rather difficult and certainly can't be done in the heat of passion. However, any kid who can get a hold of a gun can do a lot of damage very easily. What if it had been a group of kids wanting to kill? Think of the damage that could have been done. Do Americans really feel any safer with all these guns? Right across the border (in Canada) they have a very similar culture with few guns and this kind of thing is almost unheard of. I think it is really sad that something happens, as it did today, & instead of looking at what we need to do to prevent this in the future so many people are immediately jumping up & defending their personal right to own a gun. Surely a little more regulation, at the very least, i.e. gun licensing and regulations how guns are stored, is worth it for a few less innocent deaths?

It has come to light that he was very troubled in the head. They found writtings from assignments that talked about killing people with chainsaws etc... Also, it was said he stalked women, was a loner and talked about killing his "Step father" in his stories. I assume he was molested/beaten as a child. Likely as the case is with many South Koreans he witnessed his father beating his mother. He wrote that he had resentment towards "rich kids" that probably stemmed from a fathers rants. Those rants would have twisted into feelings of why his own life was so shitty. This would have put him in a dangerous category following in steps of the childhoods of most of the worst serial killers. He would have lost all connection with others and would have been completely without empathy. What made him shoot those people? He wanted to. And he had no little guy on his right shoulder tell him not to.

How do we KNOW we are being told the truth? Do 2 people get shot to death on a school campus and then the police decide to leave the area? Don't they usually seal off the area and begin forensics? Something is VERY wrong here. It was a crime scene very early on, and not one student was warned!
The video came at a very opportune time...just as Bin Laden tapes appear ...start thinking, people. The whole picture does not add up! Just as Port Arthur massacre, a mentally disturbed scapegoat is found very quickly, dead in most cases....and you will all forget.

That's an American from South Korea and don't forget it.
Innocent people, this man also though he was innocent but was also a victim, you write like the other 32 will go to heaven and Mr. Cho is going to hell. This young man must have been truly troubled and the justification in his mind was his. This is nothing like the Amish school shooting you know.

Cho Seung Hui was psychologically troubled to think of violence and execute it in his school which was even found in his works. Persons like him should have been entered in mental hospitals for rehabilitation which the university officials was not able to work out.

well apparently he was picked on at school and he had a troubled mind. the thing is, why didn't anyone do something when there was still time. if he was already reported as having pestered two women, and he was found to be mentally disturbed, how come he wasn't given counselling or some kind of help?
sorry, but i ididn't actually answer anything did i?

something so bad had to of happened to this young man to have so much hatred embedded inside of him. I guess we'll never know what he went through in his short life. It's really sad that he had to live with whatever it was that pushed him so hard he had to kill so many and then take his own life.
My prayers are with his family as well as those of the victims

He was a psychopath and has no feeling for other people.
He couldn't relate to them, they couldn't relate to him, on some level he knew that and felt vast pity for himself that made him want to take retribution by killing them, and himself.
He was to put it simply, crazy, they kind of crazy that goes past depression, or the common walking around neuroses we all have, this is a huge inability to connect with anyone or anything, coupled with the childish notion that he was the center of the universe. My dog once had a litter of puppies, she refused to care for or nurse one of them, it turned out that pup had a fatal flaw and died.
This must be the human equivalent of a fatal flaw.
