What if the college peers of Cho Seung-Hui sincerely embraced the shy or quite boy with love and patiently encouraged him to be more social and start bridging healthy relationships, would this situation occurred today? I am not pointing fingers at anyone, but it's a thought.
What if Cho developed a genuine trust in some good campus mentors that could school him about relationships and people in America and of course he applied the suggestions daily with patient support, I wonder if this horrific incident could have been stopped.
What if Cho learned to make himself more approachable and others accepted him as the shy quite guy on campus, would we be having this discussion about Cho? Instead of campus students laughing or making fun of Cho, what if they gave him the support to become more socially inclined, would that be more help than what a Psychologist and drugs could offer?
Now I am NOT placing the blame of Cho's actions in the hands of his fellow classmates or campus students, I am just asking questions with the intent of offering solutions. Perhaps there could be a collective effort from college students from around the country to help anti-social types to be more social and have fun eliminating the snow balling anger.
Now I know most people are going to be too angry to think about the killer, Cho Seung-Hui, but we must deal with it. Scary fact, there are many Cho's here in America working in other destructive manners against our country and or people. We must find ways to break the resistance of these type of individuals early. Medication is NOT the solution. And most of the Cho types will slip through the cracks of a variety of profile test, so that is not the answer either.
So, what can we do today as a people? -- Pall Stanley
