NBC shouldn't show the sicko's video

[Skink]

We learned NOTHING!!!

Two things. I see nothing wrong with them releasing the video, it helps us understand him a little more.

Secondly, if there is a copy cat, hopefully people will realize the importance of rushing the gunman. If ten people in the class would have rushed him at once while he was reloding his little hand guns, a lot less people would have died.

Same with 911, everyone just sat there with the exception of one plane while a group of men with box cutters proceeded to kill 2,000 plus people. People need to be taught how to protect their fucking selves and need to realise that if they do nothing they will die!

I don't mean to insult those who died in this event, but we as people need to learn how to handle situations such as this. He can't shoot all ten people bum rushing him!

Back to the point though, this whole situation is horrible, but at the same time very amazing. We all have a right to know what was going through his mind, and the type of person he is.

exactly. what is it with people these days. the act like because one person has a gun they are defenseless, when theres 20 other people in the room

agreed with not showing the video. What creeps me out about the video is he didn't seem unusual to me. Every highschool has that creepy loner kid that dispises everyone and thinks they could be some kind of super soldier that could kick all these fools asses. I think Cho demonstrates to these kids that they could actually fulfill all the dark fantasies theyve had if they tried

Society needs to learn that family is the most important thing for humanity... the more we parents run off to abtain the elusive dream the more this shit is going to happen...

You guys I'm having trouble with you pointing the finger at the victims; especially since none of us was there and don't know what happened in that room. It is simply not fair to make judgements like that on people in life or death situations.

Skink....I would love to sit down and talk to you about why you feel that way and get your input but this thread obviously is not the place so I reluctantly will let the opportunity pass.

thats the problem,,,it's never going to be the place... showing this vid does shit for any cause...

There will be another.....no doubt in my mind. But maybe some have been stopped from what (I hope) we have learned.

I'm not pointing the finger at the victims. The shooter alone has the blood on his hands. The point I'm trying to make is this.

It needs to be implanted in our brains that if we are in that situation, there is a 95% chance we will die. The Columbine shooters, and this kid shot anyone they chose to, they didn't need to be provoked. If we should learn anything from this it is that you can't lie on the floor waiting for the calvary to show up. I'm not insulting the victims for not fighting back, but I would hope that other people can see how fewer people could have died if someone tried to take control.

This guy shot most of his victims multible times, I'm sure it was likely he had his back to someone at some point.

Now granted a hand gun is much more intimidating than a box cutters, but in the future people need to realize they will likely die if they do nothing. May as well try and end shit like this in the future while you are still alive.

All that said, I feel real bad for the victims and their family, but hopefully we can learn something. Most likely nothing will change... but we can hope.

Amen to that.
