The decision was yours. Now you have blood on your hands that will never wash off.” This were the words of,” Cho Seung-Hui, 23 on April 16 2006.
Cho killed 32 people and committed suicide in the deadliest one-man shooting rampage in modern U.S. history. This sad and disturbing event is almost unbelievable but it is. This type of behavior does not happened over night. Cho was repeatedly urged to get counseling by teachers and peers. A little over a year before the massacre, Cho was accused of sending unwanted messages to two women and was taken to a psychiatric hospital on a magistrates orders and was pronounced a danger to himself. He was released with orders to undergo outpatient treatment.
Chos twisted, violence-filled writings and vacant-eyed demeanor had disturbed professors and students so much that he was removed from one English class. Authorities disclosed another incident of Chos dating back in November and December 2005, two women complained to campus police that they had received calls and computer messages from Cho. But the women considered the messages “annoying,” not threatening, and neither pressed charges. Neither woman was among the victims in the massacre, police said. The first teacher at Virginia Tech to notice Chos problems was award-winning poet Nikki Giovanni, who kicked him out of her introduction to creative writing class in late 2005. Also professor, Lucinda Roy of English at Virginia Tech stated she notified campus police and various other college units after Cho displayed antisocial behaviors handed in disturbing writing assignments in her
\2\ classroom, and sent them a letter.
Kelley J. Fenton, dean of students at The Western University in St. Louis, Missouri, said Chos, who would eventually be a sophomore, showed up to his professor’s office with a “numerous bruises and broken bottles, and then had a serious facial laceration and head injury.” Fenton had been working at Virginia Tech from 1999 to 2008. he told the Journal that when the school discovered she got a restraining order he fired her. “He went through a period where he just kept on abusing and abusing her again and she was not going to let him stop,” Fenton said. He did have a change of heart and decided to resign from school.
In a separate case, the Virginia Police Department said on the night of Nov. 21, 2007, the woman, who was 15 years old, told administrators that she thought she was a “child abuse victim by choice because the teacher was violent and he was harassing her” and that he once raped her and sexually abused her, though she did not report it to authorities. She continued to go through counseling and therapy, and, according to a police report, she said this happened several times at the same time in 2002 when she was working as a receptionist at a restaurant called Peking University.
In May 2004, a friend who knew the woman from college found Chos in a wooded area of campus campus and was immediately distraught: She was a “young girl, I can barely drive by her so I was going to make a trip. To this day I’m not going to let her go to university and she needs help.”
When it became clear that Cho had been the victim of a hate crime when he left Virginia Tech, Fenton called the police. Fenton knew Chos before they came to see her at his office, but told police that the man’s demeanor when he told her he was returning to Washington showed an “inappropriate and cruel demeanor.” Fenton’s assistant took Chos to the campus police department’s office where she informed authorities that police interviewed her and was able to confirm with Fenton that her behavior had been the same that occurred on Dec. 21, 2007.
The only thing Fenton could do was that Chos is now known in her early 20s ”the kind of person who would be at an incident of this nature if she were a young, attractive female.
In September 2005, The University of Missouri offered to help resolve the case by creating the “Choke” program at the university, intended to help victims of campus hate crimes. The program was instituted by an academic advisor in September 2006 after a student complained to the university faculty and school about Cho’s repeated “aggressive behavior, intimidation and threats to her and other members of staff.”
The program offered victims to submit and receive statements and photographs of themselves and their teachers, their principal, and their teachers’ children, on their public assistance websites (www.saveandrespect.org), or online at www.st.marylandtu.edu whereupon victims were informed, as well as a third-party victim support program, an online website accessible to St. Louis student personnel that has a link to the national student aid directory of victim services, www.victimawareness.org.
