Seung Cho's Playwright
AOL News has obtained two plays a classmate says were written by Cho Seung-Hui. Ian MacFarlane, the former classmate and current AOL employee, provided us with the plays. A note from Mr. MacFarlane and links to the works appear below.
What happened yesterday:
When I first heard about the multiple shootings at Virginia Tech yesterday, my first thought was about my friends, and my second thought was "I bet it was Seung Cho."
Cho was in my playwriting class last fall, and nobody seemed to think much of him at first. He would sit by himself whenever possible, and didn't like talking to anyone. I don't think I've ever actually heard his voice before. He was just so quiet and kept to himself. Looking back, he fit the exact stereotype of what one would typically think of as a "school shooter" - a loner, obsessed with violence, and serious personal problems. Some of us in class tried to talk to him to be nice and get him out of his shell, but he refused talking to anyone. It was like he didn't want to be friends with anybody. One friend of mine tried to offer him some Halloween candy that she still had, but he slowly shook his head, refusing it. He just came to class every day and submitted his work on time, as I understand it.
A major part of the playwriting class was peer reviews. We would write one-act plays and submit them to an online repository called Blackboard for everyone in the class to read and comment about in class the next day. Typically, the students give their opinions about the plays and suggest ways to make it better, the professor gives his insights, then asks the author to comment about the play in class.
When we read Cho's plays, it was like something out of a nightmare. The plays had really twisted, macabre violence that used weapons I wouldn't have even thought of. Before Cho got to class that day, we students were talking to each other with serious worry about whether he could be a school shooter. I was even thinking of scenarios of what I would do in case he did come in with a gun, I was that freaked out about him.

- Just a suggestion, but you might want to consider changing your picture and userid. In my opinion they are in bad taste and only serve to offend most readers. You could also mention up front that proceeds from your lens are going to the school, etc.

- I did a lens on the Amish School Shooting which is also a very tough topic and difficult to present. It also grows with time, as the aftermath and further information occurs. http://www.squidoo.com/amishshooting/ Perhaps information about the victims, also the murderer's family's statement, etc.

- Seems like people are getting mad at me. I AM NOT SEUNG CHO. I am simply offering information on a person of interest. These postings were for discussing his character, and yet it feels like its about me justifying my work on him. If you are that emotional, please leave or let me know here.

- Thank you for the negative comment. I wasn't trying to make any money. In fact, I was planning to donate if there is any. If my lens is conveying the wrong message, just let me know instead of being a cyber cop. Its because of negative and judging ppl like u..."sad"...

- I think you've got the HTML all sorted out. And there's plenty of information to lead the reader from point A to point B. If you could source more photos of the victims of this tragedy that would really drive the point home.

- Guys let me know what else should be put up here. I find myself thinking of too many different ways to take this lens, and news keeps surfacing. One thing is forsure, everyone including this dude's family all agree that Cho, Seung-Hui was a coward and an idiot. May God only judge now.

- Dude, when I said change the name I meant from Korean-Killer to something more appropriate, not to the name of the actual killer. It comes across as glorifying him. Please, for the same of good taste make it something nicer.
