The Evil Within A Mass Murderer

by Mark Sierra on April 18, 2007

The story is only a couple of days old, but the media is so finely skilled at what they do that they’ve actually made record time in introducing you to the evil known as Cho Seung-Hui, the shooter at Virginia Tech.

It was reported on Newsvine that the killer left a videotaped suicide letter. What I find disturbing about the article is not the insight into Cho’s psyche, but that it actually seems like the reporter was trying to get you to understand him.

It drives me crazy that they do this.

Cho, it seems, had nothing.

He had no friends, no normal college life, no reason to live.

Just a death wish.

And a desire to show the whole world his disturbed heart.

Puh-leez! Are we supposed to weep for this guy? I’ll leave you with this one thought, “When’s the movie coming out?”

That is exactly what I thought while watching the video up on MSNBC’s site. Hollywood sees tragedy with dollar signs in their eyes.
