Or the worst mass-murder in U.S. history. They are wrong... although the ones who say "the worst shooting rampage" are correct. The worst mass murder in US history was in 1990, at the Happy Land Ballroom in New York City. But the victims were mostly non-white and the killer used a can of gasoline instead of a gun, so that doesn't count -- even though the body count was nearly three times that of the Va Tech massacre.

Whether NBC is right or wrong, it's good to see the public holding them accountable. While Cho was definitely unstable, it would have been nice had there been more loving people, more often, in his life: family, friends, etc. On that note, here's the unofficial Lost Remote challenge of the day: Call up, visit, email, IM someone you haven't talked to in a long time and tell them you've been thinking about them and want to know how they're doing. My view is if everybody did this more often, I think we'd have less of these types of problems in the world. :-) Good for them.
