After the second complaint, he was taken away for psychiatric evaluation. This was not only because he had allegedly stalked these women, he had also expressed suicidal thoughts to an acquaintance. At about this time, the concerns about his writings were also added to the mix.

He was not only showing violent tendencies in his actions, he was showing them in his writings. Not only that, he was also showing suicidal ideation. Talk about red flags fluttering in the breeze. Talk about those red flags being ignored!

Once again, a budding rampage killer gives all kinds of warnings and evidence that he's possessed of an unstable and dangerous mental state. Once again, those that should be listening to these warnings were out to lunch; not doing anything akin to their jobs. If there is any group of people who deserve to bear a large amount of the blame, it is the Kampus Keystone Kops.

The final bit of blame goes to the NRA, and other gun advocates. In their rabid support of guns, they go out of their way to make sure that no one anywhere abridges the ability to get guns. Like it or not, guns are simply far too easy to purchase. Someone like Cho Seung-Hui, whose name is known to law enforcement, whose writings and actions have shown him to be possessed of a violent streak, should never be allowed access to any kind of weapon. His second amendment rights are trumped by his mental instability!

His name should have been part of a database of people who weren't allowed to own a weapon. But no, he was allowed to go into a pawnshop with a credit card and purchase not just one gun, but two. Not only that, he was able to get a hold of more than enough ammunition to get the job done.

Notice that nowhere in any of this were the victims given any sort of blame. As a matter of fact, many of the students and professors acted in very heroic ways. Some gave their lives in saving the lives of others. These people don't deserve derision, they deserve respect, honor, and dignity.


Those people who are pouring derision on these victims need to answer only one question: have you no sense of decency? These victims have yet to even be interred, and already the armchair Rambo's think it's their duty to tell us all what pussies these victims were. The families and friends of these victims have enough grief in their lives. The last thing they need is for the ball scratching, budding military experts damning them for being victims.

To hell with the lot of you! How can you be so heartless? Let's put all you he-men into the same situation and see how many of you wind up with piss stains all down the front of your favorite jeans.

Blessed be!
Pappy
