So that's the poor fellow's name...


Cho Seung-Hui. As an Asian-American, I have to feel for the family of this guy. I don't know if this was an attempt to impress Kim Jong-Il and company, but it was an ill-fated attempt, to put it nicely. I had to edit this post after finding some new info.

But let's cut to the chase. There are other things he could have done other than this.

For example: he could have gone here and settled down with the Anime Club or the Pilipino-American Coalition. Alternatively, he could be Zeta, as in a member of Zeta Phi Rho. Or he could have been an active member of SPJA, and helped continue Anime Expo's legacy of being the original, and still the best, anime convention in North America.

In short, Cho Seung-Hui could have done something better with his life. Heck, if he was majoring in Info Systems like me, I could have found another tutor to help me with my Stat work and Oracle scripting. Instead, he resorted to this.

And I don't know where his soul will be, but I doubt even the likes of famous Chinese leaders like Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaopeng, or even Cheng Kai-shek, heck, even Confucius would approve of such an act.
