One year ago this month, Seung-Hui Cho gunned down 27 students and five faculty members at Virginia Tech. A recent news article poses the question, "What caused student Seung-Hui Cho to stage the worst campus shooting in U.S. history?"
That's easily answered -- he was a nut! Police have searched for his computer, his cellphone, and his wallet to try to delve into his mind. They've tried to discover whether April 16, the day of the shooting, held any special significance for him. They want to know why he had "Ax Ishmael" written in red ink on his left arm. The answer remains -- he was a nut!
According to the article, the investigation will continue for several months more as authorities review 30 volumes of reports and transcriptions of 450 phone calls and analyze a federal report on 250 pieces of ballistic evidence.
What a waste of time and money! It would be different were they preparing for a trial, but the nut is dead! No matter how long the investigation continues, no matter how much money is poured into it, the answer will always be the same -- the man was a nut! There is no understanding why he did what he did. And if by some miracle his motivation was discovered, it would be of no use, because the next nut will be motivated by something entirely different. A nut is a nut is a nut, and we will always have them among us.
