"Yes, this was free speech, but..." :Teacher Reacts to Disturbed writings

After everything that's happened since 9-11 and after everything that's happened as a result of the Hurricane Katrina, do you think that this time around we'll have more of the 1990s "Oh my god! Is it the Devil Music or irresponsible parents that make evil youth!" or more of the sleek and sexy "The people in charge are to blame!" attitude of the 2000s?

Already, we know that people are upset that the students weren't warned earlier. But now that some details are starting to file in about this derranged little guy:


"When I first heard about the multiple shootings at Virginia Tech yesterday, my first thought was about my friends," Ian MacFarlane wrote to AOL, "and my second thought was 'I bet it was Seung Cho'."


Forget knowing about this for 2 hours and not doing anything! Hell! These people knew how odd this guy was for YEARS and didn't do anything about it! Watch this!

Cho, an English major, never wrote about guns or killing people, she said. But his writing was disturbing enough that she went to police and other university officials to seek help. (Watch the professor tell how her student frightened her )

"Reporter: She tried and tried and tried to alert university officials to what she thought was a troubled student ."

"Lou: Such a remarkable woman... the idea that a student... could not be dealt with by the university and by dealt with I mean helped! Is that because of privacy law? What is the reason?


"Reporter: Well she told us the law needs to be changed. Yes, it was sort of an exercise of free speech exercised by the student in these writings... They told her that there was nothing warning of impending violence so because of that they said there was nothing to be done as far as pulling him out of that department, of pulling him out of that program."

Remember being in school and getting in trouble for some saying "I'm going to kill you!" to some jerk in gymn class? Well we have to go even farther than that!
