VaTech Killer

ABC News: Killer's Note: 'You Caused Me to Do This': "April 17, 2007 — Seung-Hui Cho, the student who killed 32 people and then himself yesterday, left a long and 'disturbing' note in his dorm room at Virginia Tech, say law enforcement sources.

Sources have now described the note, which runs several pages, as beginning in the present tense and then shifting to the past tense. It contains rhetoric explaining Cho's actions and says, 'You caused me to do this,' the sources told ABC News..."

I was lurking in the comments section of a major blog shortly after the story broke-- and here they came again; no, not the gun-banning liberals. Those other liberals who immediately started talking about "gun-toting racist Southern rednecks" blah, blah, blah. Like the Duke lacrosse story, conclusions were being jumped in record time.

Yeah, much to my consternation, he was from the South. South Korea.


And. He was an English major.


Jump that generalization.
