What's upsetting is there are some with anti-S. Korean sentiments. I was listening to Jim Rome, and a caller called in expressing these exact sentiments. The caller went as far as saying, "It's all the immigrants' fault, they come and fly planes into our buildings, and go around killing people, we should stop all immigrants form entering our country."
It really disgusts me that people are thinking this way. Firstly, it's not an immigrant or race thing. It's a mentally deranged thing, the guy was obviously unstable and needed a lot of help and wasn't strong enough to overcome the issues plaguing him. Secondly, Cho lived in America longer than he lived in South Korea, the only reason why he was a South Korean resident was because he kept his citizenship status, he's more American than anything. Thirdly, let's not forget, the Columbine shootings were perpetrated by 2 Caucasian AMERICANS.
