some radio news i was listening to earlier said the guns had the serial #s scratched off


he did scratch off the serials, but he was also carrying the receipt from the purchase of the glock in his backpack....

Update: Now they're saying that Seung-Hui Cho sent NBC a package between the 1st and 2nd shootings... video, pictures, drawings, etc. and NBC will air something on this later this evening.

how the hell did this guy get a gun

"A court order from 2005 states that Virginia Tech killer Cho Seung-Hui was declared mentally ill and "an imminent danger to others," a district court clerk tells CNN."


also, NBC reports that Cho sent them mail and pictures/video as well as writing to them before the shootings....that is all that has been said about that

i agree in with that, he doesn't deserve the coverage

but then again im curious about why and what happened to cause this

sad thing is NBC is using this for ratings as not releasing anything until the news.....

they knew he was nuts. what I want to know is why he wasn't in therapy and why someone would sell him guns. Why wasn't anyone supervising/checking up on this kid regularly.

Probably no one on these boards will understand what I'm about to say, but I'm going to say it anyways.

I feel bad for him. In my opinion, there is a clear line between someone who has a medical mental disorder and someone who snaps and shoots people. This kid was truly mentally ill. People were afraid of him before this ever happened. His classmates would joke about how he was a serial killer. His teachers wanted him out of their classes. No matter how much they tried, nothing could be done to help him because we live in a country where freedom of expression is almost as important as the air we breathe. He was begging to be helped. I feel intensely more sad for his victims, but this is something that could have been prevented (everything can be seen in hindsight). He doesn't have an ounce of facial expression or voice inflection. He sounds crazy. I really do think this is so sad. His family probably has to be in hiding right now. I think there is a clear lesson in this: treat others with kindness. For all we know, it could have taken one person smiling at him to change what happened. Instead people teased him, feared him, and scoffed behind his back.
