That's kind of callous, don't you think? Cho didn't target anyone specifically (except in the first incident). Otherwise you had some sixty people who did this kid no wrong except in his own head and had the misfortune of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I went through a lot of shit in school, castigated because of my weight and getting through with not much in the way of friends and teachers who mostly didn't give a damn. I was a total loner for the most part, left to myself and whatever I could do to keep myself entertained. I tended to be cold and callous to people I didn't know. I had practically zero social skills. I probably fit the profile of a potential 'loose cannon' to a T. But I never formed any mass-murder plots. Never even thought about it. There were plenty of people I didn't like, and plenty of people who gave me undeserved shit, but not one of them deserved to die because of it. Being a douchebag is not an offense worth the death penalty, and even less deserving are the innocent bystanders who would get caught in the path despite never once involving themselves with me. Those kids and those professors did not deserve to have their lives stolen by some butthole with a general, unfocused grudge against the world at large, not even if every last one of them teased and tormented him.
Also, some of his writing was made public, and all I have to say is that Seung Cho did seem to try his best to appear disturbing. Oh, and Seung Cho sucks at writing. Once you get over how 'extreme' this ten-page play is, you'll probably notice that it's very poorly written and it makes little sense.
