Cho Seung Hui-Was it Lack of Love or Nurture??

It has been nearly 18 months since the VTech school shooting massacre. A South Korean immigrant named Cho Seung Hui gunned down and killed 32 innocent VTech students and personnel before firing the gun on himself, bringing the death toll to 33. Was he insane? Was he neglected? Unloved? Or was he a perfectly aware cold blooded killer who taped a video manifesto after the mass slaying and sent it off to NBC? Well, to me he sounds as though he was a notoriety seeker. Perhaps an angry young man who grew tired of taking abuse from his peers all throughout grade school right on up through college. Maybe his family was cold and unavailable, working 16-20 hours a day in their dry-cleaning business. Cho has a sister who is a Princeton University graduate and who is employed with the Dept. of Homeland Security. Why didn't she go on a wild killing rampage? Cho was born with a host of personal deficits, no doubt. He was diagnosed as having Asperger's Autism back when he was in middle school. We may never know the truth about him. For the victims of the VTech tragedy need time to heal from such a sad affair.
