There have been a bunch of good points about many aspects of this problem and lots of good counters. The fact is that this kid had mental problems and "went off". Plenty of people saw "warning signs" but there lots of kids showing "warning signs" so perhaps greater awareness of risky kids might help, and maybe not. We can't exactly just lock up all the risky kids. This situation may not have a solution. And here is our problem. We see people like Cho who have mental problems and some brave soul may try to seek help for them but everybody else seems to be afraid to force the issue because *we might be violating his civil rights* or ask ourselves*Who am I to judge*, or be afraid of being called a *racist* if we reported some minority as being odd. So in the name of being politically correct we just ignore the situation and hope somebody else does the dirty work or nothing happens. Had Cho been asked to leave VT until he was mentally stable, how long would it have taken before the ACLU would have filed a law suit against the University on Cho's behalf? ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
