Default Gunman judged a threat in 2005
Latest from Fox News:
A Virginia district court found that Virginia Tech killer Cho Seung-Hui was "mentally ill" and was an "imminent danger to others," according to a 2005 temporary detention order.
Cho "is mentally ill and in need of hospitalization, and presents an imminent danger to self or others as mental illness, or is seriously mentally ill as to be substantially unable to care for self, and is incapable of volunteering or unwilling to volunteer for treatment," reads the order, obtained by FOX News.
Cho had previously been accused of stalking two female students on campus and had been taken to a mental health facility in 2005 after an acquaintance worried he might be suicidal, police said Wednesday.

So, did he lie on the federal firearms form? Or did the instant check fail?

Sounds like at the least he lied. Which means he illegally obtained the guns afterall?

Have any of you guys seen or heard anything about this "manifesto" before now?

Quote:
NBC has received a package that was mailed by the gunman who killed 32 people and himself this week on the Virginia Tech campus.

The box, turned over to Virginia authorities by the network, contains a manifesto, reportes WNBC in New York. NBC believes the package was mailed between the first and second shootings on Monday.

So many warning signs and still nothing could be done. Or if something could be done, wasn't.

I've heard a couple of times over the last couple of days that liberty comes at a certain cost. That saying has never made as much sense to me as it does now. This "gray zone" about what to do with people behaving abnormally seems to be part of that cost. Political correctness probably has a big part in it too.

I agree Dan...Sometimes I don't mind giving up a little bit of freedom for what I percieve to be the greater good, but then I also realize that that opens up for chipping away at other liberties.

It's a dichotomy.
