WHAT THE F**K?????? IT'S HARD TO GUARD AGAINST CRAZY.

Cho was described as a "depressed, loner" by classmates and faculty at Virginia Tech. Hey folks, these are red flags!! (Hello...McFly!!) (Remember Columbine and Jonesboro). Faculty and school administrators had known about this guy for at least a year and did NOTHING to get him the help that he badly needed!! I understand that there are laws against universities disclosing mental illness information on students, but find a way to tell someone..anyone in authority about people like Cho!! I guess that they were more afraid of being sued than being killed. Obviously, this guy was mentally ill, but I place a lot of the blame for this tragic event on Virginia Tech administrators.

Hindsight being 20/20, I believe that the school should have been closed after the first victims were discovered in their apartment. This may not have changed anything, but it would have given Cho more time to think about what he had done. Crazy is crazy and he probably would have waited until school re-opened and killed the students anyway, but he would have also been in hiding and may have changed his mind or left the area. We will never know.

How in the hell was he able to legally to buy guns with psychological problems listed in his personal background history? Did he lie on his application or was there an oversight? Either way, he was going to get guns by any means necessary. Crazy is crazy and will do what it has to do to achieve the results it is after.

The sad thing is that 32 people died a senseless death that could have been avoided. Most of them were young people that had hopes and dreams of a long, wonderful life full of promise and it all was taken away in seconds by a " depressed, loner" lunatic.
