Ebay transaction for Walter P22 mags
His eBay feedback page News link On March 22, Cho bought two 10-round magazines for the Walther P22. A day later, he made a purchase from a vendor named "oneclickshooting," which sells gun accessories and other items. Details on the purchase were unclear, and the seller could not be reached for comment. Cho sold tickets to Virginia Tech sporting events, including last year's Peach Bowl. He sold a Texas Instruments graphics calculator that contained several games, most of them with mild themes. "The calculator was used for less than one semester then I dropped the class," Cho wrote on the site. He also sold many books about violence, death and mayhem. Several of those books were used in his English classes, meaning Cho simply could have been selling used books at the end of the semester. His eBay rating was superb _ 98.5 percent. That means he received one negative rating from people he dealt with on eBay, compared with 65 positive. "great ebayer. very flexible," the buyer said of his Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl tickets, which went for $182.50. Andy Koch, Cho's roommate from 2005-06, said he never saw Cho receive or send a package, although he didn't have much interaction with the shooter. Students can sign up for a free lottery on a game-by-game basis, and the tickets are free. "We took him to one football game," he said. "We told him to sign up for the lottery, and he went and he left like in the third quarter, and that was it. He never went again. He never went to another game." Cho sold the books on the eBay-affiliated site half.com. They include "Men, Women, and Chainsaws" by Carol J. Clover, a book that explores gender in the modern horror film. Others include "The Best of H.P. Lovecraft: Bloodcurdling Tales of Horror and the Macabre"; and "The Female of the Species: Tales of Mystery and Suspense" by Joyce Carol Oates _ a book in which the publisher writes: "In these and other gripping and disturbing tales, women are confronted by the evil around them and surprised by the evil they find within themselves." Books by those three authors were taught in his Contemporary Horror class. Experts say things like eBay transactions can be hugely valuable in trying to figure out the motivation behind crimes. An examination of a computer is "very revealing, particularly for a person like this," said Mark Rasch of FTI Consulting, a computer and electronic investigation firm. "What we find ... particularly with people who are very uncommunicative in person, is that they may be much more communicative and free to express themselves with the anonymity that computers and the Internet give you." Cho's computer could hold a record of just about anything he has done, even of activities or communications he may have tried to erase. But Rasch said that likely will not be a problem, noting the way the gunman created a record of his thinking in videos, photos and documents. "This guy wanted to leave a trail. He wasn't trying to conceal what he did," Rasch said. edited to add: WHAT A DUPE I AM !

What was he doing wrong up until THAT day? If he was going on a rampage why would he give a damn about concealing it. Atleast he didnt use a supressor or something on the P22. |

I wonder how much shit that seller is going to catch.
I am certain that he will be named in some wrongful death lawsuits, at a minimum. |

Yup, they disliked them enough before, now it's probably going to get you an instant ban. |

Seriously, WTH does "Contemporary Horror" have to do with higher education? What practical purpose could this curriculum possibly have? No wonder his writings were bloodthirsty rants, thats the style they were teaching him in class.

So Ebay decides no to sell gun stuff and all the gun stuff goes to a gun friendly site and Ebay loses all our money. This is bad how? |

Aha! Another clue. I haven't seen the link reported (if it's true) that Cho was denied admission into VT's engineering program. That would have been how an Asian guy wound up in an English program and he could have felt shame about not making it into the engineering program. He shot up Norris Hall and that is where VT's College of Engineering is located. |

English Majors are supposed to be writers. Horror is a class of literature. |
