Gunman's Classmate Speaks Out (CBS News)

[SaltineGirl]

There is always a reason behind actions like this. Even though Cho was someone not in the right mindset, there had to have been a source of his anger.

[MobiusX]

i went to Virginia Tech, he shot me but my bones are made out of adamantium just like wolverine claws, this is how i survived

[MrMaypole14]

Harry, you are such a complete network ass-kissing fake!

[MephistoXIV]

Part of the reason why he rarely spoke at all his entire life was due to a mental disorder. I can't remember the name, but he had a syndrome which caused him to have an indefinite stutter, I think. So of course he was bullied as a kid, and was apparently exorcized by a priest at one point because his mother believed he was possessed, which attributes to whatever later dementia caused this. It's a shame what happened, but it's over. He's dead, and so are the students. Move on.

[eyesetokill25]

ATTENTIONS PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED.

there's a rare unseen-on-youtube of Eric Harris hanging with his friends around his school around one year before the massacre.

youtube.com/watch?v=VMUhIGT9VU­s it's hardly a sign of Eric having issues I don't think, but it's an interesting video I found online and decided to upload as it's not on youtube yet.

[NumeralScientist]

Murder is wrong, this was a tragedy. NOBODY deserves to die. Yet we find in America we live in ignorance of each other's feelings, and we pay the price.  The other day I saw an elderly woman knocked down in the street in Seattle. I literally saw 300 people just walk by this poor old downed woman on Super Bowl Sunday. Nobody payed her 3 seconds of mind. I'm sick from lack of love and empathy. We need to express our love and connection.

[MephistoXIV]

@NumeralScientist It's paid, not payed. There's my connection to you.

Oh, and you're a pussy.

[madddog60able]

[WHATJaz]

She seems like a really nice girl.. r.i.p those who died :(

[kickass5]

@WHATJaz yeah fuckin right! whore

[MonsterEnergy160]

@Mikami923 wtf!? how is that possible in any way at all? go get off of this comment board you sicko

[hunterman803]

@Mikami923 wtf why!?!?!?! he killed people

[badjman84]

those english classes are full of crap.

[gabeguzman]

@badjman84 i agree she also seems like a bitch!

[YOYOdaMOOSE]

i'm in college and after this i've been paranoid about people in my classes who seem spaced out and don't talk much... theres too many of them............! *hides in room*

[kickass5]

@YOYOdaMOOSE man shut yo bitchass up. if they dont wanna talk than thats they fuckin right nigga.

[ArBiTeR0000Tactical]

LOL THAT CHO DUDE WILL NOT BE REMEMBERED HAHA WHAT A LAME. WE CAN EVEN PRONOUNCE HIS NAME.

[Tylervstheworld]

@ArBiTeR0000Tactical "cho Dude" Cho + Dude = chode = short fat penis.

[lilNY19]

THAT BOY IS UGLY ASs SHIT!!

[RAYZiLa97]

i hate the ppl who thinks they all bad because 1 day they will plot against u thats wat pisses me off

[BeyonceFan121]

who is cho ? i thought it was erik and dylan ??

[NumberOneTwoOrThree]

@BeyonceFan121 no, erik and dylan were in the columbine school shotings in april 1999 but this one was in april 16 2007

[TheDajsgames]

@BeyonceFan121 that is another shooting...

[pinkorangesoda]

@BeyonceFan121 dude this is VA tech not columbine

[crbdudeman]

This girl is lying. I knew one of the english teachers and they said he would talk dirty to the girls and stuff.

[wontonsoup771]

You think that only killers are going to hell? We all are, we all deserve to die. I'm not a firm believer in religion, but if there ever was a hell, every single person in the world would burn no matter how much of a saint that they thought. I'll see you all in hell at one point or another.

[xaminaxabscissionx]

@wontonsoup771 I AM a believer and thats true,its just honest to burn in hell for sins and then go to heaven (if you areee good, tho) soooooo.... i'll see yaaaaaaa!

[nikej12]

@wontonsoup771 shut the fuck up dude you don't know what you're talking about. If there was a heaven and hell there's also a purgatory where you suffer for sins and then go to heaven. THAT'S where every single person goes. Hell is for people who have lived to deserve to burn for eternity and that means living a very fucking bad life.

[wontonsoup771]

@nikej12 again, im not a firm believer so that equates to: i dont give a fuck period. so babble all you want bro cuz ill see you there okay? chin up cowboy :)

[atheniandp]

@wontonsoup771 God is forgiving. That doesn't mean we can be evil, though.

[satmtca]

that cho cunt can go burn in hell for all eternity LONG WITH THE COLUMBINE KILLERS

[OMG123itsME1]

@satmtca YEAH

[TAz69x]

Cho is the hardest to understand shooter I've ever seen.

[eleventhsun]

@TAz69x I understood him quite simple.. Government plant.. False flag..quite obvious.. He was ALLOWED a gun after being prescribed as a fucking freak, and he shot people and waited a few hours and did it again. They didn't even stop him when they could have... its like the manchurian candidate.

[kizer4444]

thoses poor kids picked on. mentaly and physcaily hurt. so sad that the pain took them to that height. maybe next time your at school you will think twice before you pick on someone cause the next day you may be on your knees takeing a round to the head. i feel bad for them no the pople they killed. karma is a bitch aint it LMFAO!

[druha10304]

he should've been arrested for making that kind of play in english class in front of that white woman

[euskaldanak]

the question mark kid aka Cho what a badass. Carrying on Eric and Dylans prophecy what a pimp! A kid in Alabama just wasted a kid today with a 22 rifle. Kip Kinkel da man haha these dudes are corrupting the police and school systems its unbelievable total masterminds.

[HDsharp]

he wasnt looked at and got no attention for his unusual behaviour cos he was Asian, no one really cared, racism caused this, he just returned the favour.

[Jiminibobster]

@HDsharp was it fuck because he was asian, maybe it was coz he was a fucking psycopath and he didnt talk to anyone. thats why he got no attention

[HDsharp]

Thats what the media made out him to be, an mad man, but he wasnt, he clearly said why he did it, he did it for his asian brothers and sisters, forget black people, you folks are sooo racists towards asians..

[Jiminibobster]

@HDsharp What your saying a guy who went into a school and killed 33 people wasnt a madman? are you retarded?

[HDsharp]

He did it for a reason, he even video himself telling people why he did it!

asians are the most discriminated people in the west, hes just a product of that. you basterds.

[Jiminibobster]

@HDsharp i dont understand your point, are you trying to justify his actions? and why does the fact he's asian have anything to do with it? they were just describing his appearance not trying to offend him

[HDsharp]

What dont you understand?, i said he did it for his sisters and brothers, meaning he did it for asians, he even filmed himself saying so and why he did it. The media just made him out be a crank to cover up the real reason why he did it. its was only a matter of time before an asian man blew his top, he wont be the last either, yous discriminate against the asians the most, you think we dont know that.

[Jiminibobster]

your saying im discriminating him for being asian and it was him that did it because HE WAS asian. you have called me racist for saying he did it becaues he was asian - which i never said- and you jus told me he did it for that exact reason... your a moron

[HDsharp]

Where did i say exaclty that you discriminated him? youre really thick.

[AquasCheer]

@HDsharp

that not all that true usally it the black and hispanc that are the most discriminated the most

[HDsharp]

Thats a myth, every race over reacts to the actions of asians.

[mrmidget94]

@Jiminibobster exactly. bullies were just a "trigger" to activate psycho-boy.

[EndoSmoke16]

Nobody wanted 2 talk 2 cho that's y he got no attention and decided 2 shoot up the fuckin school so people will know about him

[Jiminibobster]

@EndoSmoke16 is it? where did your hear this?

[temporary1121]

or the fact that he didnt talk....at all!!!!

[lourdesgitana]

I am agree with luckyjamal, this country is founded with violence and sell guns with a driver license to anyone, thats how Selenas murderer and Jonh lennon murderer got their license.

[StarWarsFanToTheMax]

Cho Seung-Hui should burn in hell for what he did!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HDsharp]

Racists will burn in hell thats for sure, he was a victim and blew his top. hard luck.

[imax1971]

Fuck you! You're an asshole...

[HDsharp]

fCUK YOU TOO, YOU MORAN, YOU GUYS ARE THE MOSTS RACISTS TOWARDS ASIANS, WHAT THE FCUK DO YOU EXPECT, I WOULD HAVE NO QUALMS DOING THE SAME AS CHO, I WOULD NUKE YOU LOT IF I HAD THE FINGER ON THE BUTTON.

[iheartalkaline]

its wierd, some crazy people write crazy shit and go psycho and kill people, then there are litterature heroes like stephen king. some people are such scum, i cant believe school shootings happen. that shit is so horrible.

[luckyjamal]

the reason why it happend is because america was founded with violence

i.e england [ europe ] send all they criminals to america to kill red indians .

if you look in every americans home you will find at least 1 gun or more .

if you watch hollywood movies you will find so many  gun scenes .

if you listern to american rap music you will find thousand of guns lyrics.

american sports are also so violence

i.e american football and hockey . violences video games is also to blame

[pixisticx]

and YOU have none of those in YOUR country? cmon. lets not be hypocritical here.

[qp9lq9tecs]

@pixisticx not many countries have the same weapon pollicy that america. thats why this dosent happen in countrys like sweden. where i live.

[TheFirearmEnthusiast]

@qp9lq9tecs It happens in China quite often, but they use knives instead of guns.

[ashleyj2010]

@luckyjamal

Hockey is more brutal than soccer or baseball...how so?

And I live in America and do NOT own a gun, thank you very much.

I would thank you to not make assumptions.

[purpleravenstar]

@ashleyj2010 You'll regret not having a gun once somebody points one at you.

[TheLikealollipop]

fuck cho he can go burn in hell hes a little fucking prick

[UnsoundAncient]

Why did he kill people what did people do to him

[karana808]

he was teased and had mental health issues and was very unstable

[UnsoundAncient]

how badly was he teased, i havent heard anything from his story

why how could he justify this?

[Seleteles]

Nothing. Mostly. At the point when he did it.

But when a guy is that quiet and that angry for that long... I don't know. Maybe something happened to him, something that nobody could fix.

[olga2415]

How wonderful to see that some college students are articulate.....

[salmonking007]

Yes, pity the gunman. Lets see that empathy when he puts a bullet to your head. So many people keep saying how they "understand him".

Take pity on the wolf. Shower evil with compassion. What he did is wrong; you don't kill people because they never invited you to a tea party. I'd like to see you remain so apathetic if one of your family members was shot down by him. He doesn't deserve to RIP. He committed suicide to escape justice. You fools need to wake up and stop venerating the reaper.

[partyongarth420]

thank you salmon king well said.. you dont kill people just for socially rejecting u what a pathetic thing to do...honestly i think all these people typing RIP are just wanting a reaction themselves.. people will suck dick for attention these days.. i hope they all die

[DopedUpMonkey]

It's just killing, all earths creatures do it in some form or another, When a lion kills a gazelle, is it all over the news about murder ? When we KILL the rainforests, are people arrested for murdering the living plantlife ? No. So why should this be any different. It's natural instinct, people need to realise this and stop with the "Evil" bullshit.

[salmonking007]

If there was no "evil" as you say DopedUpMonkey, I'd kill you where you stand for your total lack of common sense and morality.

Lions kill gazelles for food. People "kill" rainforests for land. Those instances have purpose. This fool killed classmates because he wanted to. They screamed, shouted and ran for their lives and he awarded them with bullets.

There is no logic to defend this psychotic behavior. Murder is not instinct. It's not for the betterment of mankind. It's wrong.

[brennfett]

@salmonking007 simples weltbild

[IMPER1ALDRAGON]

@salmonking007 Finally, I find a person on youtube who has a clear distinction between right and wrong.

[rozz2656]

@salmonking007 no thats where ur wrong no offence but he wanted to because they were bullied

[Gonji]

@rozz2656

Name one specific fact that he was being bullied, other than your own experience to back up Cho's defense for his criminal intent of murder.

[rozz2656]

@Gonji do u know anything if u search him ull see that, he was being teased for not talking, and everything google it sorry, but he was

[SatansMullet]

@salmonking007 Are you a christian? cause you sure seem like one of those cocksuckers.

[salmonking007]

@SatansMullet Oh god, a tough guy on the internet who is also a douche bag. The horror!

[nightdevil6666]

@salmonking007 you talk to much. point is. he was a bad man.

[Stragulia]

@salmonking007

you're a fucking idiot. morals are non existent, you;re obviously just a religious fucking moron.

[hardkoregamer999]

@salmonking007 no sir your wrong dead fucking wrong killing is what we humans do best and you should be proud of it and not be ashade unleashing your inner beast just right know you showed us that side in your comment.

[Seleteles]

All of mankind's greatest achievements can be attributed to our ability to share values. When we kill, we kill with a meaning - mostly to eat, or to produce (we destroy rainforests to make grazing land for cattle.) Sometimes that's the wrong decision, but they're decisions made with the hope of a better future.

When somebody thinks that the key to a better future is to murder a schoolful of people for no reason other than to scream out at the world, something is wrong.

[Sweet9117]

One thing that puts us at the top of the chain is that we can contorl our instincts. when someone cant control thier its evil

[waldoman7]

rainforests do not have minds to care about being killed, so it's "killing" in that case means little more than destroying an inanimate object. Animals have brains but they don't have self consciousness as far as we can tell. so again, not too much different from destroying an inanimate object.

[juniorjoker4life]

R.I.P

?

[shugubatz]

I had colegues that never spoke to me in 3 years of college ! I had a classmate (girl) that would even hide in the bushes so I wouldn t see her ! :) That was hilarious but it kinda made me angry too. I mean WTF? I ve never done/said anything bad to her... Cho, I m feelin u man. Rest In Peace

Me? Not a question mark , just a white dude.

[shugubatz]

You don't know shit. He had severe anxiety (selective mute). He was unable to speak sometimes and that bitch Nikki Giovanni kicked him out of school and used her influence to do it. She killed all these people, not him. Am I the only one who knows what really happened? NO MAN YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS ! I KNOW TOO ! RIP Cho !

[MrPuffyable]

Really shug, you think you know what you're talking about Cho had depression/low self esteem, and really if you were near him when this happened he would put a bullet through your head, we can't bring back those victims, he did this, not that Nikki Giovanni.

[shugubatz]

Their all sad about their fellow students,but no concern about Chos feelings. and do all these people know so much shit about him, when they neglect and dont talk to him, unless they stalk him and read his shit behind his back.

[shugubatz]

Yes, now he's dead and they don't even excuse themselves for ignoring him during his 3 last years on earth...

Cho just wanted some attention, LIKE EVERYONE... (I sometimes share a bit of his pain...)

[partyongarth420]

omg u weak minded faggots... of course thats what it is.. he wanted attention and was gonna go shooting people to get people to notice him and give him any kind of emotions... enough said... he was a faggot.. that should have just killed himself if he was lonely.... hell im lonely as fuck right now i spend days on end alone on the computer... u dont see me flipping out and heading outside with guns for a little attention.. no excuse for this shit... u soft little faggots need to die with him.

[verrywellhung]

You don't know shit. He had severe anxiety (selective mute). He was unable to speak sometimes and that bitch Nikki Giovanni kicked him out of school and used her influence to do it. She killed all these people, not him. Am I the only one who knows what really happened?

[purpleravenstar]

*plays 96 quite bitter feelings by cky*

Have fun, fags!

:)

[DopedUpMonkey]

She was in a class with him for three years, and she knew next to nothing about him.

[Nezen17]

well, that's what bullying gives ya

[Brumur]

Don't sound like you know what you're talking about. For all we know there might not have been any bullying. He had a slew of mental issues throughout his life. He felt like an outcast. He barely even talked to his ROOM MATES for God's sake. What he called "bullying" could have been something as simple as him taking offense to someone laughing nearby...maybe he thought it was directed at him. There's really no way to tell now. All I know is..he should have been hospitalized before this happened.

[mizutofu]

White people is the cancer, Cho Seung-Hui is the cure.

[Brumur]

Aren't you a big man, being racist online...oh yeah and being terrible too.

You do know that he BUTCHERED students right? Oh yes...not just white students...black students...asians....and whites. He was a merciless murderer who killed innocent people and locked the doors so they couldn't excape. Yeah..some cure.

Asshole.

[mizutofu]

He was simply punishing these people for their racism.

[mizutofu]

white racism is worse than terrorism.

[mizutofu]

white racists and imperalists are a cancer on this planet.

[Brumur]

who says the students in those rooms were racist or imperialists? You have a very skewed point of view..

[yewtewbpewper]

dude...not every white person is racist. you're being extremely racist in saying that, thus making you a HYPOCRITE, you honestly need to go back to school, learn something, get off the ganja and get a better case.

[wbowens82]

All those genius college professors couldnt tell this guy was mental??? Professors have no common sense.

[loc43]

from what i read online and saw on the news,all they wanted was his intuition,despite his mental conditions and other peoples safety.

[LaCosaNostra132]

FUCK CHO! I dont care if your made fun of. Dont kill randomly! That faggy cunt hair should of shot only himself.

[jmdisme]

from all the interviews ive read, nobody says he was actually made fun of, just that he was so quiet and blah blah...i think he was just paranoid of everything. i mean the guy was literally psychotic so it wouldnt be a surprise anyway. and yeah i agree with you, he obviously wanted to die. im sure those people he killed didnt. what a fuckin asshole

[3018mercintell]

stirs11, such a fucking expert on where people go. Are you a kid, still believe in hell?

[FishNoLegs]

That should've been those people's first clue right there. Someone with no expression on their face who never says anything is the classic type. A "flat effect" person always goes off eventually.

[piatt83]

Thats not always true. I am one of those types but I am just paranoid that everyone wants to harm me(or as psychologists like to put it "fear of being eaten").

I have a depressive neurotic paranoid disorder that is hard enough to deal with. Things like this comment make it even worse because now I have to face preemptive allegations from ignorant people who don't take the time to understand what it is they are judging. Not all quiet people are psychopathic neurotic.

[loc43]

alot of people fear what they don't understand.

[FishNoLegs]

Oh look it's the Mean Widdle Kid. Shoo.

[killerteddie]

wtf the news only interviews and shows whites only. no interview with chos family. their all sad about their fellow students,but no concern about chos feelings. and does all these people know so much shit about him, when they neglect and dont talk to him, unless they stalk him and read his shit behind his back.

[ttpad08]

Why the hell would they even want to be interviewed? First off their son killed 32 people and himself. Would you go out and speak to reporters about that? I think you wouldn't. Secondly, it's not even racist at all. One of the related videos had a black guy being interviewed. Maybe in that specific class, it had a high majority of white people. Or maybe just some girl who have happened to be white, agreed to get interviewed about Cho. I hate people like you who always say untrue bullshit.

[devouringone3]

Yes, now he's dead and they don't even excuse themselves for ignoring him during his 3 last years on earth...

Cho just wanted some attention, LIKE EVERYONE... and like everyone he had a goodwill.

But the thing you hear, the thing you see, when you remain silent, is horror. (I sometimes share a bit of his pain...)

[seatucker]

she never talked this person for 3years .. but she knows so much about him ?!? i have a question mark for you too !

[dragas222]

wow kids in my kids like that i am going to have to whatch my back....

[tigerfox]

"she is a former CBS news intern".... yeah she will really give a truth interview, instead of a show journalistic interview.

[alaralp]

@tigerfox "'she is a former CBS news intern'.... yeah she will really give a truth interview, instead of a show journalistic interview."

Gotta agree with you there. If she's looking to become an journalist, that automatically makes her a liar/exaggerator. How much could she possibly know about him if she has never spoken to him. I'm not trying to defend his actions. What he did was wrong. But this interview feels kind of pointless with weak facts.

[loc43]

it just for them to keep rolling in money off a sad and tragic event .news outlets are known for that.

[octa79]

she's a cutie!

could have saved 32 lives by...him

[OsheaEt]

U should start treating,and respecting people equally; regardless of race,color,and religious backgroud... That should be the lesson. RIP all the Dead.

[Cliche333]

true enough. everyones equal and everyone should be treated with respect. but have you seen the interviews with his roommates? they took him out to dinner and introduced him to people and all that stuff, but he still just shut them out, so it wasnt because everyone was so mean to him. he could have made his life much better if he didnt shut them out.

[FishNoLegs]

"""he could have made his life much better if he didnt shut them out. """

They have every kind of reality TV show under the sun. I say we need a reality TV show where these loner, oddball, weirdo Lee Oswald/Cho/Harris Klebold types go in a house and duke it out among themselves and we get to the bottom of their psyches.

[loc43]

his uncle said to the news that even when he was young,he acted liked that.he was later on diagnosed with some mental disease and yet,they still allowed him on that campus.

[cyberscape2]

Interesting.

[RuniteRuler]

First!

[GeorgeC525]

I bet we wont have a rememberance day for this.

Why do Americans have to make everything seem glorious

"Hey, the most amount of people killed in school by a gunman! Lets make it a record!"

[ajr0311]

tragedy

[Geneva009]

Who says American media isn't biased?

[leathermenace]

I've been asking this question around the net about this man and those like him. perhaps it's time to ask someone with a voice. If we as a nation leave it to the mentally disturbed to seek help and won't make them get help if they don't want it, then who are the real crazies in this country?

[jmpmo03]

No one talks to the quite kid. I know I never did. Maybe if he made a friend or met a girl; this wouldn't have happened?

[SYEDA84]

this is very sad.

[goldfire7]

yo yo yo in the shizzo

[JUKIO01]

w00t first one. they should take his plays and make like a movie out of it. not trying to be disrespect or anything, but would make another saw trilogy. no disrepect to the ones who die, rest in peace.

[Deism]

Sara did an amazing interview with CNN.

[zezimaGeek]

wow.Amazing.I wish this MADWORLD would NOT make guns.If i was her,i would ask him if he could talk...

[deckstore]

495 and it was under drictor videos

[dulcetdreamx3]

this guy sucks!

[immenselameness]

this just in, introverts are sociopaths and expression through art should be censored

[KelliDail]

This tells you a little more about the shooter from a fellow student's perspective, who had classes with him. She doesn't tell us any more than any other news media has told us over the past couple of days.

[sassyleslie]

Now Cho Seung-Hui got what I assume he wanted Someone to finally notice him. Obviously he was disturbed and I bet his parents we will find out were not there for him emotionally. He slipped through the radar for years and finally after felling so angry ,hurt, alone he snapped. This is not to excuse what he did. I just think there are many kids walking around that no one knows how screwed up they are. How come no ne cares or notices these problems in kids BEFORE they "snap" Why .

[posterofagirl17]

This is horrible. The same thing happened where i lived a few months ago in Dawson College. it was a horrible time for me then. . .i know exactly how all of these kids and families feel.

[HilariousD]

This chick is trying way to hard to let this tragedy make her popular in the media.

[motherGA]

hot hot hot

[Morr6565]

WOW this kid was disturbed!! His pictures are frightening! You can see how scared this girls is just by seeing her face.
