Virginia killer refuses to silently go away
Cho was not meant to go away as anonymous psycho, like others before him, allowing the public to indulge in never to be verified theories about his true motives. Instead, he let us know himself rather intimately. Much more so that during his entire lifetime.
Implications of this best summarized in comment by Professor Carol Lee Saffioti, Ph.D. on Planet Blacksburg:
By plastering this young man’s face all over every medium, by giving him quasi-stardom, and announcing that this is the “largest school related massacre,” are we not immediately setting up the challenge for the next disturbed person to top it? The bar has been raised, and the next massacre is already being set in motion.
The sick content of Cho?s mind, which would be blasted to oblivion together with his brain, is now in the wild. It?s only a question of where and when the seed will rise.
