Sometime after he killed two people in a Virginia university dormitory but before he slaughtered 30 more in a classroom building, Cho Seung-Hui mailed NBC News a large package including photographs and videos Monday morning, boasting, “When the time came, I did it. I had to.”Cho, 23, a senior English major at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, killed 32 people in two attacks before taking his own life.
NBC News President Steve Capus said the network received the package in Tuesday afternoon’s mail delivery, but it was not opened until Wednesday morning. The letter carrier noticed that it bore a return address from Blacksburg and alerted NBC security officers.
Cho’s name was not on the package; instead, the return address said it came from “Ishmael.” Investigators said Cho’s body was found Monday with the words “Ismael Ax” scrawled on his arm.
There was no indication why Cho chose NBC News to receive the package, which was immediately turned over to FBI agents in New York. Capus said NBC News was cooperating with Virginia State Police and the FBI, which is assisting the state police.The package included an 1,800-word manifesto-like statement diatribe in which Cho expresses rage, resentment and a desire to get even.

The material does not include any images of the shootings Monday, but it does contain vague references. And it mentions “martyrs like Eric and Dylan” — apparently a reference to Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, the teenagers who killed 12 students and a teacher at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo., four years ago this coming Friday.
The material is deeply angry, crying out against unspecified wrongs done to him in a diatribe laced with profanity.
“I didn’t have to do this. I could have left. I could have fled. But no, I will no longer run. It’s not for me. For my children, for my brothers and sisters that you f—, I did it for them,” Cho says on one of the videos.

…because you are publishing the works of a monster you will be partly responsible for the next massacre. The notoriety he is getting will only serve as ammunition for others who’ve been bullied. The goal of the next one will be to kill more than 32 and break the record setting massacre in Blacksburg.
Congratulations.
Those who ignore the past are bound to repeat it…
