Neil Gaiman had an excellent observation on the Virginia Tech shooting.

I keep trying to wrap my head around this, and I really can't. It keeps running through my head: It could be my school, and it could be my classroom. Just randomly, one day, some idiot walks in and starts gunning down people he doesn't even know as some kind of mentally-deficient statement.

What would that feel like? Would I be one of the first killed, or would I be one of the ones who gets a little warning and saves his classmates. Or would I be someone walking past on the sidewalk who notices the guy and takes him down before he has a chance to go through with it?

To anyone that even slightly buys into the “defender of the weak” crap Cho was reportedly spewing forth in his rantings, I'd like to point out that he didn't do a very good job defending random innocent people (most of whom didn't know him) from himself. People who kill random people because of an inability to cope with their own problems are nothing more than cowards.
