I'd say there were probably very many family pressures on Cho that drove him to do what he did.About the Omaha shooter.. that's indeed very sad. Lost his job, got throw out of his house, lost his girlfriend.. that combination, mixed with just the right brain chemistry and a gun, could be explosive. I also found a thread on 4chan.org where someone posted, before the mall shooting, saying they would bring their rifle to the Crossroads(?) Mall and "go out in style". They all told him to "DO IT FAGGOT", kill himself afterward, and all that.. seeing that thread was very alarming for me, and Im quite surprised more attention hasnt been drawn to it.

I really hope people on this forum read this and really think hard before they react to certain people on the internet. You never know what could happen...

People need to get out of their bubbles and realize there are real people behund the computer screen and though it might be just the internet it can truly affect a person.

I don't agree with that at all, Helms. One of the characteristics of the human species has always been care for the weak. A chlorinated gene pool is a nasty environment for everyone.

Chlorine? Everyone would be white, for one thing. More of these shootings would occur.

not true, it was a serbian kid that did the first mall shooting, right here, nearly a year to the week before the latest one.He killed I dont recall how many with a shot gun and a couple pistols before th cops shot him down in trolly square mall in salt lake city.Thats one less white guy commiting bullshit killings than you claimed!HA!I can understand wanting to kill people, I really can, shit I can udnerstand wanting to kill several people. random killings however make no sense, kill someone ya dont know and whats the point?it should be some bastard that deserves it, not random strangers in the mall.I mean I can udnerstad how people kill wives adn husbands, even enemys or someone they knew for years. thers a long history, a hate a need to fucking end the bullshit, maybe its in retaliation to a husband that beat her for years, shit like that I can say, OK I get why she killed his ass bullshit in the mall makes no sense.a upscale sotre, ewwwwww they make more money than me I shoudl kill the fuckers.... just not my style.

I would guess the people who do it are boiling with rage at the whole human race.

I'm sorry, but there's just some places where you can't post serious shit. 4chan is one of those. He should've known better, and chances are the guy was just joking anyway given the fact he posted it on 4chan in the first place.
> random killings however make no sense, kill someone ya dont know and whats the point?
People who do those things don't have a point. I've found that not many people understand the mentality behind people like this shooter guy. Unfortunately, I can understand exactly why they would do something like that.
Chances are this guy didn't kill for a point, he just wanted attention. I heard somewhere that they found a note or something saying "I'm sorry" and "I'll finally be famous". So it's obvious he did it for attention, and what better way to grab the nation's attention than commit random multiple killings ending with your own death?

Human *species* sickens me, but I would never shoot up a group of people I didn't know. Gravity makes a lot of sense when he says, do it to someone who deserves it, not to a random Christmas Shopper. For example, someone who raped your lil sister. Have you heard of "Death of One Thousand Cuts?" Ancient Chinese Torture, for a gun would be too quick a death.

Still weird but I was contracted to do armed security at the Westroads mall a couple years back for one of the jewelry stores while they remodeled. I lived in Omaha for like 5 years.......that was my favorite mall too
