Cho Advised Not to Attend Big School:

In a conference call to wounded victims and their families of the Virginia Tech massacre the panel investigating the attack said that Cho Seung Hui was advised not to go to a large school like Virgina Tech.

That was a key revelation in a private teleconference to brief injured students and their families on a report by a panel investigating the attacks, said Derek O’Dell, who was of the 23 injured in the April 16 attack that left 33 dead, including Cho.

A separate call was held later with families of the deceased, hours before the public release of the report Thursday.

“It was recommended that he not apply to school as big as Virginia Tech because he had selective mutism and also ongoing psychiatric needs that a big university probably wouldn’t address as well,” O’Dell said.

What I’d like to know is how did this barely functioning troglodyte (Cho) even get into Virginia Tech? After reading his “plays” and hearing about all his alleged mental difficulties it makes one wonder how he wasn’t a complete drooling idiot.

So I had the most terrifying dream of my entire life last night.

I dreamt that the world came to an end. I know that most of you would think I would be happy about that but yet I wasn’t. The world didn’t end in some cataclysmic event. It was just its time. It started to contract in on itself taking everything with it. Buildings that remained also started to collapse in on themselves. One of the most disturbing parts was that people were being so calm about it into just accepting it. I specifically remember two people waiting for the end that were arguing over something as trivial as what makes an appropriate present for a child.

As the building we were in became too confined some of us went outside. Not in a panic but just casually walked outside. We wanted to be “out there” when the end came. And came it did. In one instant in just ceased to exist. The last thing I remember is just floating in “the void” waiting to die.

Then I woke up.

Father of accused CU attacker says son has been mentally ill for years:

There’s been more details released from the nutjob throat slasher, Kenton Astin, who attacked a student at Colorado U. Surprise, surprise, he’s been nuts for even longer than we knew. His dad spills the details.

Astin has been previously diagnosed as a schizophrenic. In 2001, he was acquitted of attempted murder by reason of insanity after trying to stab a 21-year-old man in Longmont.

Don says Astin was born as Jerry before he changed his name.

9Wants To Know has learned Astin had previously been known as Sin Metri, changing his name to Astin in July of 1999. He listed “to escape association with alcoholic father” as the reason for the change. He later changed his name to Kenton Astin.

“He’s had problems for quite awhile,” said Don about Astin.

Don says he noticed Astin’s mental problems around the time he reached high school. Before that, he says Astin, whom he still calls Jerry, was a smart kid who grew up partially in Colorado and partially in Montana. Don says Astin was the youngest of four children.

Don says at one point after the shootings at Columbine High School, his son became fascinated with the crime. Astin even once told a police officer his name was Dylan Klebold, one of the Columbine gunmen.

“Seemed to me he was trying to prevent it after it happened,” said Don.

Don says Astin was never violent until the incident in Longmont.

Astin was found fit for society again about two years ago.

Just from personal experience I don’t think he was trying to “prevent” Columbine in light of what happened. And how scary is it that the criminally insane are smarter than mental health experts?

Also I don’t know if this is how he came up with the name Sin Metri but it’s an anagram for Minister. But in Italian it means without meters but the only meter he was missing was his crazy meter.

Woman ‘tried to flush newborn down toilet’:

Reason to Blow Up the World…

A MISSOURI woman and her newborn son were in hospital after she allegedly tried to flush it down a toilet at a McDonald’s restaurant, Kansas City police said today.

No charges had yet been laid against the 20-year-old woman, who worked at the McDonald’s, police Captain Rich Lockhart said,

The baby was fine after its ordeal, he was quoted as saying by the Associated Press.

The alleged incident occurred on Monday.

The woman’s colleagues called paramedics after checking on her when she didn’t come back from the toilet.

She allegedly told the paramedics she did not know she was pregnant and had tried to flush the baby down the toilet several times, Capt Lockhart said.

The child was still in the toilet and not breathing when paramedics arrived.

They administered CPR before rushing mother and son to hospital.

The baby had been handed over to state welfare authorities.

Safe Haven Laws people. Missouri has them too.
