Experts say yes:
“What motivates most mass murderers is the desire for revenge. They see themselves as victims. They see injustice around them and that they’ve been dealt a raw deal,” Fox said.“They blame others for their own failures and feel that life is just not worth living. Before they take leave of this life, usually by their own hand, they need to get some satisfaction by taking others with them, punishing those they hold responsible,” Fox added.

In other words, losers with a gun.
If I am ever attacked by one of these, I intend the wound to be in my back whence I was trying to save my life by fleeing, or with his skin under my nails. I do not intend to be compliantly kneeling while shot in the head. I wasn’t raised that way.
If it were to happen in my clinic, I might reach my pistol in time and . . .
Most high school and college killers have very violent fantasies that make their way into school papers and essays.
Should violent written essays now be considered “probable cause” for police to use search warrants and other techniques to investigate these losers?
This young man had what I can only describe as “crazy eyes.”
Hmmm….”Crazy Eyes” are not something I studied in my residency. It is amazing to think that one person with two handguns could do this much damage. Apparently the wounded had MULTIPLE gunshot wounds.
What an absolute crock. How about a little “evidence based” analysis here. In the last few years we have obtained data on literally thousands of mass murderers. Their motivation was fear and love of Allah and hatred of the infidel (however defined).
Fight the real enemy!
Just because evidence may be scant, or reasons unclear, the claim isn’t wrong. Certainly not a crock. Now, as to mass murder … let’s not forget the mass murder of hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians at the end of World War II. Of course, that event isn’t the beginning, nor the end, of the United States’ atrocities. Suicide bombings? A mosquito bite, in comparison.
“mass murder of hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians ” Is this blog going to turn into a crackpot garden now?
But guys this is impossible. Is this one of the hoax America is doing for attention and selfish media attention pull. How can a person shoot people in a 2 hour gap after shooting the first 2. Wasn’t that a crime scene already, where police should have been gartherd. If it’s a game in my culture the whole country is in for a big death of all time. But if it is true God will heal your wounds.”le himihlola” it’s a miracle.
Angelic Possession
Not A Massacre

It Was A Spiritual Warning
The gunning down of 32 teachers and students at Virginia Tech was a spiritual warning for America. It was instigated by an entity that possessed the body of Cho Seung-Hu. The act of bloodshed was filled with symbolic information for subconscious impact. Its purpose was to shock Americans into turning away from the politics of warmongering, pain and suffering, and to turn, instead, to a path of unconditional love.
“The purpose of evil is to inspire all that is good!”
You should note that the timing of the Virginia killings coincided with the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision that same day to ban partial birth abortions, a ruling that many believe will be a first step toward reversing the controversial Roe vs. Wade ruling that makes abortions in the United States legal.
This ruling, by a court stacked by the Christian-oriented Bush Administration with ultra conservative judges, is “an assault against women in terms of psycho-sexual freedoms, choice and personal power.”
Be warned that the stage is being set for a new wave of racial and sexual discrimination in America that is already beginning to be seen in the daily news. The Don Imus case is the most recent example.
The old battle of the sexes, pitting man against women, is always visible just before great world wars. “We are on the brink of social discord.” These things foretell of World War III, which is a growing threat as world powers square off over issues in Iran.
The suicidal acts by 23-year-old Cho Seung-Hu, were sparked by the rejection of one, if not more than one woman. Police in Blacksburg, where the shooting occurred, said they investigated two separate stalking complaints against Cho by university women during his time at the school.
It was said that the first shooting incident involved the murder of a woman in one of the dormitories following an argument.
Among the many statements in his so-called manifesto, Cho said: “You have vandalized my heart, raped my soul and torched my conscience. You thought it was one pathetic boy’s life you were extinguishing. Thanks to you, I die like Jesus Christ, to inspire generations of the weak and the defenseless people.”
Artwork found in Cho’s personal effects included delicate drawings of praying hands over a rose and a male angelic figure kissing a tearful female angel in the clouds. The female’s face is turned away as she receives the kiss on her cheek. Both drawings symbolize a Christian influence, even though Cho denounced Christianity in his final video messages received at NBC headquarters on Wednesday.
Strangely, just as in the murders committed by Chicago’s Christian serial killer John Wayne Gacy, this young man left 33 victims, one marking each year in the life of Jesus Christ. You should note that the news counts 32 victims, but Cho also took his own life, thus claiming the 33rd victim. That he identified himself as a sacrificial victim was significant. As a possessed young man, his life, indeed, was sacrificed by the entity as a means of delivering this powerful message.
Monday’s tragic event at Virginia Tech has even more twists within its symbolic spiritual message.
At this time of year young men are experiencing a natural biological calling to sexual union because it is a time of the year when testosterone levels are raging through their bodies. This has often been referred to as the rites of spring, and are still celebrated in many countries with such events as a dance around a maypole and other pagan gatherings. The maypole, of course, represents the erect male penis.
Women of the world are called to be aware of the subtle power they possess over men, and to be sensitive to the vulnerability of the males at this time of the year.
“Women need to understand this power.” Truth be told it is the power of the Kundalini, or that coiled force believed by some to be curled up in the back part of the root chakra at the base of the spine.
The symbol of the Kundalini is found in the Genesis story that tells of the serpent that tempts Eve in the Garden of Eden. It also can be found in images of the human DNA coil, as well as the medical symbol of the caduceus, or magic wand of the Greek god Hermes.
Cho slammed us all with a powerful message that should make us take a long look at the spiritual and political direction this nation is moving. The growing threat of expanding our military conflicts in the Middle East with an attack on Iran is one of the most deadly and spiritually troublesome things we could do.
Truth be said the choice for all of us, especially in choosing our next president, will be that of picking a leader that will be soft on war, or choosing another Christian warmonger like George W. Bush.
It will be a choice between hate and pain and suffering, or love.
A wrong choice will mean a global war. It will mean a return of the draft, and hundreds of thousands of young men and women of the same age group that perished in the Virginia shootings could be slaughtered on the battlefield. This is the probable penalty of choosing wrong.
There is one final symbolic mark to this affair that cannot be overlooked. There is a U. S. Senator representing the State of Virginia who offered public words of comfort on Monday after hearing of the shootings. His name is the same as Presidential candidate John Edwards, except he has a middle initial S in his name.
The appearance by Senator Edwards was a subconscious message to everyone that the presidential candidate by that name is the right choice if America wants a president that will be “soft on war” and lead the nation on a pathway of love.
“Edwards is our next to be in the office and he will stand for love when he is introduced to an Iranian wife bonding our two countries,”
“This is a message from God. It is a divine message of love verses ego and war. It is our choice in the next election.”
“The whole thing is obvious enough that everyone can feel it.”
What’s with this George Bush bashing, Japan, and spiritual crap? Can we stay on subject? The guy was wacked, lonely, and needed attention. As an Asian he did not fit the “profile” of a violent perp, So, Nobody did anything about it and ignored the warning signs. So he went out with a bang! GET IT?
