Virginia tech massacre

Whats one thing from the shooting that stood out to you or scared you?

What stood out to me is how many people that died and that Cho only used 2 handguns.

Its kind of shocking to me how smart cho was during the attack. With sending the videos to ABC, changing the door so no one stops the attack, or just knowing what he was doing is just creepy/shocking

Yes, cho had a good strategy for killing maximum people and getting as much fame as possible. He ensured this by sending his videos to the news (instead of letting them be hidden like the basement tapes) and chaining the doors. I believe all the victims were shot at least 3 times and 28 out of 32 were shot in the head. So his strategy of shooting his victims 3+ times in the head with hollow point bullets was effective in maximum casualties. Also he is one of the only mass shooters to acquire a large kill count without an assault rifle. Very interesting stuff.

How righteous his manifesto was. I think the casualty levels were from the sheer level of his conviction.

His manifesto was both interesting and entertaining.

"you just love to crucify me"

How in most of the rooms nearly everyone was shot or a extremely high percentage were. Also that many were faced with either jumping nearly 20 feet (and likely breaking some bones) or getting shot, I can't imagine how terrifying it would have been for the victims.

I don't find Virginia Tech particularly interesting. I find Cho to be vaguely interesting.

He stabbed a carpet, only Martin Bryant would beat him for entertainment value.
