Re: 32 Students Dead: Shooting at Virginia Tech
Y'know, when I read that in the NBC article, it sounded to me like he may have been referring to atrocities that he believes the US has carried out on his people from his native Korea. If he actually was one of the ROTC volunteers, it's possible that he may have been placed in training for Psy-Ops or whatever that type of unit is called today. I know that they show you all sorts of crazy things in Psy-Ops training because my dad was placed in the strategical unit of the Army's Psy-Op program back in the 1960's, and they showed him all sorts of awful and gory things that had been done to our "opponents" in previous "engagements".
Interesting, I didn't know they did that type of stuff in ROTC!
I thought it was really weird too, about him supposedly shooting the video in the lounge. Well he lived in a 3 bedroom suite. Last night I saw them interviewing one of his suitemates on TV, and I think he said it looked like Cho shot that footage in the common room of the suite. They were hammering him with questions though so I didn't really catch the whole answer. Even inside the suite it would be hard to do something like that and not be seen.
When I was in college I lived for awhile in a duplex on campus. It was a two-story building with 4 bedrooms, living room, kitchen, and I had 4-5 housemates. We weren't all friendly with each other but we pretty much knew each other's business. Even when I had a bedroom to myself, I still felt like I had no privacy. I don't think one of us could have sat in the living room playing with a bunch of guns without the others knowing it. Of course when I lived in a dorm it was even more open. People came in the room without knocking, barged into my refrigerator, borrowed things without asking.
Maybe some campuses are different but where I went to school, there were no secrets in the dorms. Especially with the people who isolate themselves, because people will get curious and compare notes to try to figure that person out. Roommates, especially those who don't get along very well, will go through each others stuff as soon as the person is out the door. If you have food, drugs, or alcohol everyone finds out immediately. If you go shopping and come back with any kind of bag or package they go nuts wanting to know what you got, and why you have so much money to go shopping. You all know who's having sex down the hall, and what music they are listening to while they do it. You all know who slept in and missed their classes that morning, and what they drank the night before. We also had cleaning people who came in once or twice a week to vacuum and take out the trash. I knew a guy who stashed his weed out in the hallway so he wouldn't get caught with it in his room, and he thought it was a big secret but of course I knew where he kept it. I have a really hard time believing that someone could bring guns into a college dorm at all, much less go to the risk of posing with them for a video, and no one knew anything about it.
Dorm life and college life in general is pretty much designed to make people act crazy IMO. I didn't know a single person in school that I wouldn't have regarded as mentally disturbed, including myself. We were all either raging alcoholics, or workaholics, or both. It was like living in a soap opera every day. We had one guy sort of like Cho who almost got kicked out of school for attacking someone in class. But it would have been totally ridiculous to make out like that guy was disturbed and everyone else in school was normal and well-adjusted.
Hypnotically implanted false memories, perfectly designed to jusify his rampage. Why would he be sent to kill other sleepers?
Well this is sort of touchy to speculate on...but what if they were all involved in some sort of program together, mind control, abductions, even something school related. And maybe Cho was the only one who was resisting it, or even retaining any conscious awareness of it. Maybe he saw or just felt somehow that the others did things in secret he needed to punish them for. Maybe his programming went haywire.
It's clear from the plays he wrote that he had big issues with molestation. That doesn't necessarily mean he was involved in ritual abuse, but it does make a lot of sense.
