Oh, you're in for a world of hurt now. Small bones can make you choke, but big bones will make you bleed, as you're about to find out.

I don't think it was his surrouding people, but the system that stopped him from being put away. He didn't do anything bad enough to immediately warrant being locked up, just evaluated. And he knew that while being evaluated he needed to act normal. Actually, what I heard is that he was just very quiet and calm during the evaluations, pretty much giving them nothing. He knew his prior actions weren't enough for them to shut him down.

He was obviously difficult to pin down then.

Either way, if Cho was mental, so be it, he was mental. You got my other points.

Indeed.

Now let us celebrate our new arrangement with the adding of chocolate to milk.

...And you're figuring this out ..now?

My opinion is that overly sensitive individuals should be encouraged to brush off any issues they might take personally.... to take things lightly.

I hear they might pull down the building where it happened and build a shrine to the dead. >> Creepy.

I doubt everyone would want a constant reminder, getting back to everyday life seems a better idea.

why not just turn the whole school into a shrine?

InnerRise, I want your opinion, do you not think the school is at least partly to blame for not recognizing the signs that this kid needed help?

The university did notice the signs.

But, I'm unable to find the article, I read that because he had not threatened anyone or threatened that he was goint to do something nothing could be done unless he got treatment himself.

Actually yes he had been harassing fellow students and the teachers themselves stated that they were scared of him and unable to leave him alone in the classroom.

I know, I read the articles, but if those people do not press charges the police can't do shit about it.

Just because teachers are scared of him does not mean the police will be involved. If the teachers were scared of him they should have gone to the administration and it would have went from there.

Like InnerRise said, they advised him to seek counseling and treatment, but unless he goes on his own accord he can not be forced to get treatment.

Universities will be probably take more precaution with students like that from now on
