Seung-Hui Cho

Please keep Seung-Hui Cho in your prayers. A lot of the newspaper people and the politicans talked about Cho being a terrible murderer. Well, no one kills for no reason. Dynamite does not explode without a spark. As I understand it, the spark for mr. Cho was that he was being made fun of by some other people. Cho was a victim. Killing other people is wrong. We need to stop the violence in this world by showing love and compassion to other people. Whoever you are that is reading this, I just want to say that I love you and care about you and want to be your friend.

Now let me get this straight. You say that "no one kills for no reason." So, I have a reason to kill my ex because he hasn't paid the bills he promised to pay after the divorce. There, I have a reason. I can kill him. Or lets say...You walk in and find your wife with another man. Do you now have a reason to kill the man and your wife? You have a reason to want to kill...do you? This type of logic is wrong. Who is to decide whether or not there is a reason someone can have to kill another human being? That will only create more hatred and violence in a world already filled with more than enough. There is no excuse for what Cho did...there is no way to justify it. He killed innocent people. He is not a victim here. He refused the help that was offered to him, he knew what he was doing, he didn't get the court ordered therapy he was supposed to. He made certain choices that are no one's fault but his own. Just because someone is made fun of, doesn't give them the right or reason to kill! I do keep his family in my prayers however they deserve it.

I agree whole heartedly creativedreamweaver. He is not the victim. It's a bit too late for prayers don't you think? The prayers should go out to the victims families and his family.

I did not say that retaliation killing was right, only that Cho is also a victim. He is as much a victim as the people that he killed.

I am so glad that you are my friend hon. You are so kind hearted...even to someone that committed such a major moral wrong. It's true that we need to show more compassion toward others. I think if people had paid more attention to Mr. Cho's behaviors and less time picking on him, he might still be with us today, as would all of those students and faculty that he so wrongly killed.

Thank you so much for your nice words. I very much do value your friendship. May god bless you. Love is more powerful than anger. If we had more kindness and loe in the world than we would have a better world.

Without a doubt,he needed help. According to statements made, several people tried to get him to seek help. My prayers do go out to his family,but there must have been some indication of how depressed and frustrated he was. We need to stop feeling sorry for the people who choose to kill other people as a means to end their anger. Encourage people to seek help,to ask for what they need,that murder is not the answer. We should pray for all involved and all the people in the world who might consider murder as a way to solve their personal issues.

I agree it is to late to pray for Seung Hui Cho but not his family. We should keep them in prayer, not only for comfort but also salvation and all the families that have lost their child or husbands and wives over this tragic thing that happened. He did have a chance to get help but how many of us really try and get help when we need it. Pride sometimes tends to get in the way.
