Virginia Tech massacre gunman, 23-year-old-Cho Seung-Hui was an English major whose creative writings raised concerns. Recently a former to classmate Cho, brought to public one of his writings-a screenplay titled "Richard McBeef"-and this offered a glimpse into the fact that Cho could actually have had a diseased mindset.


Monday's shooting has generated mix feelings of anger and outrage. Says Tom Mauser whose son Daniel was killed in the 1999 shootings at Columbine High School: “I think my primary thought is about anger. Anger and suicide. Why do we have so many people who think they have to take others’ (lives) with them when they take their own?”


Ian McFarlane the classmate who brought the screenplay, says that members of the class were asked to review each other's work. Reading Cho's plays, he describes it as twisted and seemed like something out of a nightmare, with macabre violence and unthinkable weapons. Mc Farlane now works for AOL.com and this screenplay can be seen on AOL's newbloggers site...
