What do you have to say for yourself now Island son? What's your defense to this, was it just the plays?
The dude was declared dangerous by a court, its coming out now.
"A court order from 2005 states that Virginia Tech killer Cho Seung-Hui was declared mentally ill and "an imminent danger to others," a district court clerk tells CNN."
Huh? I said I'd reserve judgement on the other items until more information came out. He was thought to be suicidal, so he was involuntarily committed. In the initial psychiatric examination, he was also thought suicidal NOT "an imminent danger to others".

Earlier Wednesday, authorities disclosed that in November and December 2005, two women complained to campus police that they had received calls and computer messages from Cho. But the women considered the messages “annoying,” not threatening, and neither pressed charges, Virginia Tech Police Chief Wendell Flinchum said.

After the second complaint about Cho’s behavior, the university obtained a temporary detention order and took Cho away because an acquaintance reported he might be suicidal, authorities said. Police did not identify the acquaintance. On Dec. 13, 2005, a magistrate ordered Cho to undergo an evaluation at Carilion St. Albans, a private psychiatric hospital. The magistrate signed the order after an initial evaluation found probable cause that Cho was a danger to himself or others as a result of mental illness.
The next day, according to court records, doctors at Carilion conducted further examination and a special justice, Paul M. Barnett, approved outpatient treatment. A medical examination conducted Dec. 14 reported that that Cho’s "affect is flat. ... He denies suicidal ideations. He does not acknowledge symptoms of a thought disorder.
His insight and judgment are normal."
The court papers indicate that Barnett checked a box that said Cho “presents an imminent danger to himself as a result of mental illness.” Barnett did
not check the box that would indicate a danger to others.
