So this guy sent a video into NBC so that all the world could learn from his martyrdom. God, now it all seems so clear. Thanks for elucidating the follies of our ways. The world is a better place now. We have all taken notes and are all taking your words of wisdom to heart. Gosh, no, we aren't writing you off as a lunatic. You're a true inspiration. And taking your own life sure took balls. Way to be! And nice ball cap. Nothing says "tough" quite like a loaded Glock and a hat that's been turned around. I knew Jesus would come back sooner or later. And I knew he'd be doing my nails.

Oh, and you know what else I knew? That we'd be pointing fingers before Anderson Cooper could put his car in park. Virginia Tech is not at fault and neither is the pawn shop owner. And as little respect as I have for W The President, it wasn't his fault either. A handgun is the problem as much as an airplane was the problem. Of course the warning signs were there. They're always there. These people are always freakish loners obsessed with violence. And of course everyone who's encountered one of these psychopaths has known them as such. Sure. Perhaps Cho's problems could have been dealt with long ago (which his parents would have had to support). Maybe he'd be in a facility right now had they been. Still, I'm pretty sure that by the time he made it to Blacksburg he was gone. And had they kicked him out, do you not think he'd break that rule and come back to campus one last time? No, that rule he'd follow. "I want to kill as many people as I can and die like Jesus, but, darnit, I'm not allowed on campus this semester." I do think some of these tragedies can be avoided, but it's unfair to say that Virginia Tech helped facilitate this one. There have always been and will always be crazy people willing to do the unthinkable (as defined by a relatively sane person). They have total disregard for their lives, others' lives and, obviously, laws. We can prevent some of them, but not all of them. Well, unless that Minority Report movie was based on a true story. Anyway, maybe we can start focusing on the people worth focusing on: the 32 who didn't go to school to die that day.
