Well actually he was as much as American as Korean... It turns out most of his life he lived in the States.
As reported by BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6564653.stm

One report out of South Korea said Cho had moved to the US when he was eight, but had retained his South Korean citizenship.
According to the Washington Post, his parents live in Fairfax County, an affluent suburb of Washington DC, just outside Arlington and Alexandria.

The awful americans are using his immigrant background to label him BAD, even though he had been living in america since he was 8 years old. The 15 years he had lived in america certainly could not have been a cause or created such an person... it had to be the Korean in him....
america is a horrible racist country.... |

Yeah, and you're the biggest racist for saying America is racist country.
And you suck!
You probably feel good about 32 Americans being murdered, huh? |

First, "american" is not a race, you moron.
Second, not all the casualties were americans. Several were foreign students and foreign professors. |

Interesting headline on Naver...
"조승희 "너 때문에 이 일을..." 메모남겨"
Think they will play up the "he was a victim" card here? Seems to underscore the real victims.
Koreans can make a claim on the blood of Heinz Ward - Half Korean, never lived in Korea; yet I can see them trying to put some distance between this character and themselves. I wonder how this will play out in the Korean media. |

That's exactly what i was thinking. You know this guy will be drawn up as a creative, but troubled young man, who was trodden by his classmates and failed by the US social system, only to be given easy acces to handguns.
Or, then there's the.. 'why did it take the police so long to stop him' angle. |

Or we could mention the 300 million -1 people that have access to guns, and may be downtrodden, that don't take 58 casualties in one attack.
You must be Canadian. |
