My friend..........take care of yourself. I have watched you age 10 yeas in 3 days.......I know this VT massacre is taking its toll on you.
I have followed Clint's work since Waco when he first caught my attention. After that, I researched him read his book, his articles........I always make a point to listen to what he has to say in crises. IMO..... Clint is one of the most insightful men when it comes to understanding the human psyche, I am always fascinated at the conclusions he draws. One of my favorite memories of him was when he was trying to bring in the D.C. sniper.......I watched him on television trying to reach this guy (or guys).........I watched him use his vast experience and training as a hostage negotiator. I have nothing but RESPECT for this honest, fair, good man. Children could only dream of having a father like him since he is such a good role-model for not only them.........but adults.
Cho.............we can beat the psychiatric dead horse to the bones. It will not bring back the lives, we will forget any lessons this should be teaching us. It is pretty obvious this kid was disturbed..........we are all in agreement about it. I noticed you have backed off the psychological profiling somewhat even though it is your expertise and that is what the media wants from you. What we all should be examining is the ROOT cause.......lets take what we are learning and try to help the thousands of young people who are out there. You and I both know there are thousands of Cho's sitting behind their computers, isolated, mad, seething, watching what is going on around them and they feel helpless to do anything so they do something radical when they snap. We don't know his psychiatric history..........what we are hearing is hearsay............we both know psychiatric records are the most closely guarded medical records going. I used to go to collection court for bad debt in a medical office and if the patient/debtor had a psychiatric history I could not even give the judge any information except how much money they owed and dates of service..............that is it. If he/she wanted anything else he would have to issue a court order and only the judge was privvy to that information. Do you honestly think anyone has this kids medical records and will be able to publish/broadcast them. NO.
The internet is THIER world.........young people. They are growing up on the internet...........my space, IM, message boards, video games..........computers are isolating kids, they don't feel the need for human contact because a machine has taken the place of flesh. When this kid tried to reach out a few times............he was turned in to authorities as a stalker. I think there is plenty of blame to go around here...........including young girls who can be cruel to young boys. They are not equipped to emotional issues the way we are.......they only way you learn is through life.............living. No university, church or institution can teach them.....they can guide them, but the learning experience comes from living.
Part 2 will follow.............
Clint?
you there?
