    sigh . . . .



    When I first found out about this killing spree on Monday, I tried to make sense out of the carnage but I still am unable to.
    A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.

      I liked the fact that South Korea was bracing for a phantom military attack by the United States, talk about collective idiocy......

        Don't waste your time, You can't make sense out of this one, Columbine was something you could figure out what was going on in the minds of the attackers, but here, it is nonsensical and tragic....

          I think a lot of it is more projection than guilt. The way so many Koreans went ape**** in 2002 after some American soldiers accidentally ran over two girls was really reprehensible. And if that's the accepted way to treat foreigners as a group when one of them does something, well...

            Projection of this sort is just the flip side of the coin of collective guilt.
            I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

              Did he kill absolutely random people, or people he knew and had had problems with?

                        He probably had a normal Asian childhood. Which is to say that it's very unlikely he was sexually molested, but rather his psyche was traumatized by the continual and utter repetition that he's a worthless failure and will never amount to anything, and that his parents have never been, are not now, and will never be, happy with him.

                        Oh, Asian parents. When those kids grow up and prove them wrong, the damage is already done.

                          I can think of two possible backlashes by Americans he might have in mind.

                          The backlash against muslims following the 9/11/2001 terrorist attacks.

                          And the backlash against koreans by the rioters in the 1992 riots in LA.

                          I'm not sure how either of those reactions compared to the korean reaction to the death of the two girls.
