BLACKSBURG, VIRGINIA--Once again, http://www.thesmokinggun.com/ have done it again, and produced some public-documents relating to a pertinent-case. This time, we have some of the papers of 23-year-old Cho Seung-Hui--a play. The play depicts a step-father who's a pedophile and who has murdered the biological-father of the play's 13-year-old main-character, "John." Was Seung-Hai molested by a family-member? Child-abuse is out of the closet, but child-molestation is still one of America's worst-kept secrets.
The light is finally beginning to shine in a little, but is the Virginia Tech event related? It begs investigating, and should be given a high-priority. Somehow, I don't think it will--we might actually learn something. All this "shock-and-dismay" is a sham. We know why many of our troops have been raping and molesting Iraqi men and women. They were molested right here at home. Monkey-see, monkey-do. The problem is an epidemic. Small wonder other nations are frightened of such a dysfunctional culture as our own.
A most-distressing passage from "Richard McBeef": http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2007/0417071vtech4.html
You can't relate something someone writes for an English class to his reason for going ballistic.
ReplyDeleteEver heard of Arthur Bremer? He was the guy who shot George Wallace, the race-baiting segregationist southern politician from the 60s-70s. His diary contained lots of warning-signs too, as did the diary of John Wilkes Booth. That said, I only posed it as a question. The rest of the piece is about our reaction and how we're all culpable for the violence in our society. Reading is fun!
ReplyDeleteBut nevermind all that: all I was saying was that it bears investigating. You'd make a shitty cop, scholar, or journalist. As it stands, you make a better banana than a human-being who can reason. Of course you can relate this, everything they look at might be pertinent to the investigation. A good detective goes where the trail leads--no matter where it leads.
