What really happened at Virginia Tech.?

As you all know about the horrendous murder by Seung-Hui Cho at Virginia Tech....sad day for everyone, not only for the students, but for the nation. However there are curiosities, perhaps a new perspective to look at. I guess the first question is how did he make the first kill, then walk back to his room or car' film himself making a documentary?
Maybe that situation could have been easy to pull off given that nobody was really around when he shot his first victim(s).
What really confuses me is that how did he manage to kill over 30 people execution style? Perhaps one answer that would make sense is that everyone was frighten and they would do anything (given there was over 30 people) what the shooter would say; like get on your knees with your head down while I shoot everyone in the back of the head. Although that may seem like the story, but a little Korean guy with two pea shooters is not enough to hold down 30 people.

As it was relatively early in the morning, most students in the dorm were probably still asleep, and did not hear/react immediately to the first two shootings, so Cho was able to escape after the shootings undetected. The video/documentary was made prior to April 16, 2007, and between the West Ambler Johnson shootings at the Norris Hall shoots, Cho simply mailed the package to NBC offices in New York City. During that time (or prior to the first shooting), Cho may have also destroyed/disposed of the hard drive to his computer, his wallet, and other personal effects.

As for killing over 30 people, he started in one classroom. People in the other classrooms did not immediately react. He was able to move from one classroom to the next with students and professors essentially trapped inside. Once he left one classroom, those inside did not immediately attempt to flee, knowing that if the gunman was still around, their movement would make them targets. From the reports of those who survived the Norris Hall shootings, Cho did not say anything, only fired his weapons. Most people who survived did so by not moving and pretending to be dead.

As for one individual "with two pea shooters" not being "enough to hold down 30 people," I think it was more a matter of people being too frightened to react and/or not attempting to subdue Cho for fear of their own safety. Once people realized what was happening, they attempted to keep Cho OUT of the classroom, to protect those inside.

If, God forbid, you were ever in such a situation, would you attempt to immobilize an armed individual, or would you attempt to save yourself and others by keeping the armed gunman away?

As for the individual who indicated that the degree of the carnage was due to students and professors not being armed, I would like to pose the following scenario:

Individual A enters a college building and opens fire. Student B is in the building and carrying a weapon. Student B fires at Individual A, but misses and hits Student C. Student D, also armed, approaches the scene to find Student B on the ground and both Individual A and Student B holding weapons. Who does Student D shoot? Arming students (or professors) is not the "quick fix" so many people would like to believe.

Virginia has firearms laws specifically designed to force law-abiding people to be victims.

Hundreds of the people at VT that day were legal gun owners. 8 of the 30 people killed owned guns.

The only guns on campus, though, belonged to the campus police, who had trouble finding him in the sprawling campus as they kept getting reports from different areas.

Until logic overrules political correctness, and law-abiding citizens have the right restored to carry their guns for their own protection, these mass shootings will continue.
