#6 It's not the idiots that write letters beforehand that we have to worry about...

However, at least everyone is paying attention now... well at least for awhile!

#8 Losers! Arise and rejoice! You've found your new hero, Seung-Hui Cho!

Does anyone else think that maybe prolonged public ridicule is the best way to nip these things in the bud? Kids who shoot up schools are looking for respect, but they'll settle for fear and hate. Would they think twice if they knew their post-mortem 15 minutes would be full of ridicule and humiliation, rather than somber omphaloskepsis and pleas for "understanding"?

#9 Angei: You have a point. Though Cho's grandfather called him a "Bastard that deserved to die for what he did" or something along those lines. That would be more shameful to me at least than anything else.

Though I'm sure we can go over to Fark and start a photo-shop contest with Cho's picture. Show him in front of hot-dog stands, have him yelling random phrases. Can you imagine the embarrasing stuff some of the people would come up with?

#10 How about a late term abortion for Michael DiGiovanni?

#11 One of the most critical moves would be a total boycott of any publicity for the killer. Once he had been identified, nothing more goes out. Only pictures of the victims and their grieving families. Keep the fifteen minutes of fame down to fifteen seconds. To an extent this has happened with John Lennon's killer and it should become common practice. NBC's shameless thrusting of Cho into the national spotlight was both shameless and reprehensible for its needless aggrandizement of this worthless turd.

#12 Another one tried the same stunt in Portland, Oregon! Shut down a campus for over a day.
