Subject: What if Cho have had more time? Wed Sep 19, 2018 9:58 am
Anyone else wondered about this? He killed 30 people in 10-11 minutes what if he have just had 5 more minutes or even 10 more minutes? He would most likely had kept shooting people until the police arrived don´t you think.
Some shooters had so much time and still didn´t kill half the people Cho did so imagine the carnage if Cho had 5-10 more minutes or even half an hour in total! He wasn´t there to taunt his victims or "play god" he went in there to kill not to joke around. In relation to this I have to say that I was actually impressed by how fast the police was on the scene after like 5 minutes that´s outstanding unfortunately Cho had chained the doors shut which gave him another 5 minutes but still.

I do think the death toll would have been much higher if Cho had more time. It's very true that he didn't seem to waste any time by trying to scare his victims with words.

Well considering he killed 30 people in 10 minutes which means he killed an average of 3 people a minute. So if we take this into consideration and add the 30 other he murdered in the original 10 minutes he had, he would of killed a total 45 people if he had an extra 5 minutes and a total of 60 if he had an extra 10 minutes, if he had a whole hour than the death toll would of been 300 people.

You also have to take into consideration when he would run out of ammo, sure he had 376 rounds left if I remember correctly but he "only" had 19 magazines in total for his two pistols so at some point he would have to reload his magazines.

I still find it very weird that he killed 2 people hours before the other 30, he could have got busted in that time.

I know right, that part was extremely sloppy. When I first heard that I thought to myself "isn´t murder such a big deal in the US?" because if two people got shot dead at a campus in Denmark the campus would be shut down immediately and there most likely would be road blocks by police all around the city but the way the police treated scene made it look like it was "just" a single person who had killed himself.

I believe I recall reading that the police thought it was a murder-suicide at first, hence the delay. If Cho had more time, more victims would have been killed: he clearly wasn't going to stop until he heard the police break in.

You know the more I think of The VT shooting, the more I think cho was more smarter then any other mass shooter. Between Chaining the doors and (probably) having a bomb on it, the sure as hell wasn't messing around and acting like it was a movie/video game. No, im not glorfying what he did, im saying what he does what really screwed up

Practice. To see if he can actually do it.

He would have killed 50-60 people.

Killing 2 people hours before the main rampage, even going to the post office to send manifestos to media, would always run the risk of getting arrested, so there is no logical reason for the early part of the attack.

Come to think of it maybe the double murder was an unplanned event. Cho had gone to women's dorms in the past and caused himself trouble, so maybe this time he went down there as a way to try and connect with the opposite sex one last time in his own weird way, and when that failed he sperged out and killed her and the other guy.

That theory is the only possible explanation for what happened.
