va tech shooter

Please forgive me if this picture is too disturbing. This is Cho Seung-Hui, a 23 year old South Korean native, who was the Virginia Tech University shooter, who killed 32 people and himself this past Monday, April 16, 2007. He sent pictures of himself with text and video describing his feelings of being persecuted. He went off on Christians and the affluent. MSNBC was mailed this "manifesto" by Cho on Monday between his two killings (he killed two in a dorm, stopped, mailed this, and then killed 30 more in a classroom). MSNBC is not releasing all of the video, for some of it is too graphic and "distrubing," according to NBC President Steve Capus. Cho used a handle on the USPS Express package he sent: Ax Ishmael. What it means, no one is certain.

The one on the front page of our newspaper today was just as disturbing. I keep thinking...isn't all this publicity exactly what he wanted? There was also a list and pictures, if available, of all the victims, most were from VA. The two hour delay was due to a Post Office run! Yuck, I bet the people who released him from the mental health facility two years ago, regret it now. Can you imagine? Having him locked up then would have prevented Monday's shooting. But God knows all that, another sign of the end times. I agree with you, Adam, Christ come back soon!
