Blacksburg Bloodshed...More on this story.

Some other thoughts.

So many aspects to this will be debated for some time to come.

Could this have been prevented? Should someone have seen this coming?
After all he had spent time in a mental facility. He was sent there after a court ruled he posed an "imminent danger to himself and others."
Police revealed yesterday that during this time they also received a call from Cho's roommate who said he feared Cho might be suicidal.

So many questions and no satisfying answers.
One of the points of contention today seems to be about NBC's decision to air parts of the video and pictures. I can see that but here's a question.
What American news outlet wouldn't have released it?

Then there's the gun questions.
Cho Seung-Hui, declared mentally ill, a danger to himself and others and suicidal walked into a shop and bought a hand gun 5 weeks ago.
Here's another question. Just what would disqualify you from buy a freaking gun in Virginia?

On the form the killer filled out it asked if he suffered from mental illness?
The gun shop owner's quote, "Obviously he lied." Really.

Another classic quote from Jack Markell, gun shop owner. "...The massacre demonstrates a need for more guns, not less. With 25,000 unarmed students around who was going to stop him?"
Okay. How bout stricter laws around who can buy a Glock 19 and maybe you could have helped with the answer.

So many questions. So much debate and then like all news it will fade away.
What will remain? Cho Sueng-Hui's name.
His name live on in infamy while the names of those poor people he killed will be forgotten except by those they left behind.
