I was bullied too so I know what it's like to have those with power abuse it. I believe there's two sides to this story... Firstly, Cho's an idiot for what he did. there's never an excuse for taking the life of innocent people. Sure I was bullied for no good reason... And I got into a fight at school after having my head bashed into a brick wall by some punks. What more can I say but this is simply the reality we live in... Some people are ass holes. And some people don't like to be pushed around. Some people will fight back. He probably couldn't get any girlfriends, was probably being bullied, and had it all explained to him that he was just 'depressed' and then people left it at that. I'd say he was more horny than depressed, since he stalked girls for a while. In my humble opinion the current generation of college kids is scared to engage in sexual relations because of aids and stuff, so I'm not surprised.

Secondly, kids are bullied every day. And it's wrong. All those kids being bullied are on the edge right now. We can't run and hide from that fact. Those kids being bullied have all at one point thought about some way to defend themselves from the constant bullying they endure DAILY for no greater reason than them being the path through which the bully can boost their self esteem.

Cho's set himself up as a hero to the people who go unnoticed... and unfortunately he succeeded. By getting his face on the news, his words transmitted and immortalized for millions of people, HE WON. The dumbass Media granted his final wish.

America needs to think long and hard about its problems now... something like this just can't be forgotten about next week and everything goes back to normal. It'll only escalate if we do nothing, keep quiet, and hope it goes away.
