Shooting at Va Tech

[taekwondo mom]

I wonder what is going to be revealed in the letter & video he mailed to NBC.

 

[mandy200587]

is anyone watching CNN where they are showing the pictures of him with the guns?

 

[taekwondo mom]

oh my , I can't believe the picture of himself holding the guns..

 

[kerrynic78]

That picture is very disturbing.

 

[Desiree]

OMG that picture is truly evil. It's horrifying. Now all of these victims that did survive this horrible attack see that image and it will be burned in their memories forever.

Once again I'm at work w/o a TV-
Does it look like the pictures/video were taken by Cho himself, or would there have to have been someone capturing the images? Any guesses based on the angle, etc?
From what I'm reading about the package, it's certainly explicit enough that if someone helped him capture the images they would certainly have known what he was thinking about doing.

 

[mandy200587]

NBC is showing the envelope.

It definately was a picture taken by himself from the digital camera.

 

[Moustermind]

I was deeply impressed by the bravery, and selflessness of the 76 year old math professor (and Holocaust survivor) who held the door to protect his students when he knew that he could not make the 2nd story jump. It allowed several of them to get to safety who would not have been able to make it otherwise.

I can not believe this. I am just seeing this picture could someone tell me who he sent this to? I see now who he sent it to. This is just so hard to grasp. How could the doctor knowing the things he knew let him go on outpatient?

Disgustingly enough--you can actually view his "manifesto" in his own words on the NBC website.

I don't know why I am in disbelief that they are actually sharing all of this.

I can not believe this. I am just seeing this picture could someone tell me who he sent this to?

He mailed a package to NBC. I wonder if he overnighted it or something---b/c MSNBC website says that they would have received it sooner than Wednesday (I imagine on Tuesday perhaps)--but that he had the address and the zip code wrong.

 

[Scraper]

Geesh this is what he was doing for two hours. Where was he for those two hours I wonder. It is such a shame no one saw him. It is a shame he was not locked up where he should have been.

 

[phisigprincess]

This is actually making me nauseous. Just hearing his voice and seeing those pictures..... it's complete evil.

 

[Sammie]

I too am appalled that NBC is showing this, providing this killer with what he wanted, a world wide audience.

Thank you for the link. I'm really sick of Cho. I'd rather learn more about the victims. They sound like a wonderful bunch of people and the world is a bit less now that we've lost them.

Thanks for the link.

I didn't think I could get more disgusted with the news media these days. I was wrong....

 

[Tink&SquirtsMom]

I guess these pictures of him with all the guns must have been digital pictures he took and printed himself??? At least I hope they were. Can't imagine the guilt of anyone who saw those pics and did nothing.

When I was in junior college college, we went through two weeks of bomb threats and then they caught a guy who was planning a "Columbine style attack." They caught him because he also made a manifesto and took pictures of himself with an arsenal. But he took those pictures to a local photo developing place and the clerks called the cops and turned over the pictures to them. The guy planning the attack got an 80 year sentence and killed himself in prison. I Thank God for those photo clerks!

I had my then baby daughter on campus with me the day the news of the arrest and plot broke, and it shook me so bad. I never felt the same going to that school after that.... and my experience was NOTHING compared to that of the student's at VT. I cannot imagine how these students will be able to focus in class or go about having a college experience from now on. My prayers are with them.

 

[Sammie]

The coverage literally made me sick to my stomach. As Diane Sawyer said last evening, when young people die, you lose a universe of possiblities.

One of the officers that went into the building where so many died, said he will never ever be able to get over all the cell phones ringing, that no one was going to answer.

As the University takes a break for the rest of the week and many go home to loved ones, remember those that will never be going home again.

Please let the media know, as decent human beings we do not support the showing of these videos.

Those pictures gave me the creeps! I will not watch that video!

I agree with a pp about wanting to hear more about the victims.
