We do know he made disparaging remarks about Christianity. (Sorry, I don’t have a direct quote but it was one of the earliest news items.)

He must have made that video before the first shooting, he couldn’t have had time in between, right?

So, NBC’s statement that they immediately turned over the information, was immediately after they reviewed it and made copies for themselves???

Actually, NBC turned over the information immediately after they reviewed it and deleted statements that might reflect poorly on liberals and made copies for themselves

His Parentseither never came to the US, or went back, but they we’rn’t the only people who lived there.

That's not what the neighbors said. They specifically spoke about his parents. Nor the roommate who saw his parents drop him off at the beginning of the school year. Where are you getting your info?

From what i gathered, that house was a shared house, and
the parents went back to SK, if only for a visit.
But maintain residences in both countries.

But i wouldn’t bet serious cash on it. it was one of those breathless “special reports”, i heard it on, and i wasn’t paying full attention to it.

Jack Thompson is well known for being an absolute zealot about computer games - and he is also well known for having his license to practice law stripped from him in Florida for abusing the court system with his constant flurry of frivolous lawsuits designed to get him publicity.

Never trust anything that man says about anything more complex than a stone knife. He’s not sensible nor reasonable about any game outside of checkers as far as I can see.

CounterStrike (CS) is a simple anti-terrorist, first person shooter game. It began as a mod (modification) to Halflife, a sci fi first-person shooter. In it you play either as an anti-terrorist whose mission is to defuse bombs and rescue hostages, or as a terrorist whose mission is to defend the hostages and/or bombs until the bombs explode.

CS is quite popular and absolutely no reasonable cause-and-effect has ever been proven by any scientific study between violence and game playing. Mr. Thompson has continually sprayed the media and courts with frivolous lawsuits attempting to make that connection in absence of fact. (One reason he lost his license)

In many peoples’ opinions, the guy is a rabid lunatic. He has shown he has no idea of anything about the game industry, nor about the game marketplace except who he can sue frivolously next.

When you hear him rave and rant, mopping the foam from his lips with such flair, remember to replace “computer games” with “target shooting” or “hunting Bambi” and you will realize how far from reality his conclusions actually are. In short, he thinks that playing a violent game makes people likely to kill other people in real life. Not unlike the outrageous lunacy of anti-gunners claiming that owning a weapon means that you are likely to commit murder.

He is not worth listening to at all.

If this monster is my roomate and I see he is buying guns and ammo why am I not reporting it? Better yet getting rid of the guns and moving out?

Has anyone dug deeper on the “Ismail Ax”? A story from Drudge: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2003670889_shootax18.html?syndication=rss

“In one, tied to James Fenimore Cooper’s novel “The Prairie,” Ishmael Bush is known as an outlawed warrior, according to an essay written in 1969 by William Goetzmann, a University of Texas History professor. In Cooper’s book, “Bush carries the prime symbol of evil — the spoiler’s axe,” the professor wrote.”

Full Online book:

Interesting take The Prairie of Fenimore located here:

Notice the title
“Their Waste Has Done it All””The Prairie as a Post-Apocalyptic Novel” Hugh C. MacDougall
(James Fenimore Cooper Society )
http://external.oneonta.edu/cooper/articles/suny/2001suny-macdougall.html

Full research article index located here:

It be interesting to see what the professionals piece together about Cho and what he was thinking.

<< That he was stalking or had a crush on the first girl killed in the dorm is a possibility, and it’s possible this material contains a lot of disgusting invective or talk about her. In which case I suspect a news organization may think twice about releasing it. >>

NBC has given no reason in recent decades to give them the benefit of the doubt on anything. Well, except that they’re not as bad as CBS.

If this is so, why did he obliterate the serial numbers on his weapons?

Did he file off the serial numbers? Without the serial numbers there's no way to trace the guns to a specific gun dealer and purchaser. What if the guns used in the shooting were obtained illegally and had been used in other crimes before Cho came into their possession? Would law enforcement be able to trace the bullets to previous killings or crimes? Perhaps the package that NBC received documents those other crimes. 

I'm out on a limb here. But ever since the serial numbers being filed off and the gun receipt were reported I've pondered the history of the guns. Also, if Cho filed off the numbers and intentionally put the gun receipt in the backpack what was he up to? Was it a message?

If the guns Cho used were not the guns he recently purchased from the licensed gun dealer where are they? Perhaps they'll be found latter having been used to commit a crime and traced back to Cho. Perhaps ballistics from the VT crime scene bullets show that there were three guns used by Cho that day.

If this has any merit it's unlikely that it'll be reported in the news. Pondering the history of the guns and what Cho was up to with them I realized a seemingly endless supply of "what ifs?".

It would take quite a while for him to put together the writings, the video. I’d say months, if not a year(s). I think that his shooting the girl and the RA was kinda like premature ejaculation. He was not prepared to have done the whole deal. Once he made that first move to kill, he had to go back and package his “multimedia manifesto” and send it off before he went on “jihad.”
