Has nothing to do with being Korean. SM

In Reply to: yes and they learned more about the shooter - 23 y/o Korean been in the states legally 15 yrs..s

I read his two one act plays last night and it was very obvious he himself had been molested. That doesn't mean he needs to shoot up his school, but it was probably a contributing factor.

What a tragedy.

no, nobody ever said he did it because he's korean

but he did not go to Korean schools
the other poster may be correct about what they teach in Korea, but that was not the cause of this person going ballistic. and it should not be made to seem like it was.

yeah..you're right...he did it because he is Korean.nm

vegetables/Korean food
My dad grew up with the usual meat and potatoes thing and there are only a few vegetables he likes - corn, canned beets, peas, spinach, not much else. He won't even look at a salad. He does not like to try anything new and has always had a hard time when he goes to someone's house for dinner. By the way, I love Korean food. Been there 4 times.. had Korean exchange student stay here 3 years ago. Have eaten dried squid as snack. Not too bad. I go to a Korean church and they serve a delicious lunch almost every Sunday.

wrong...he spent 4 years in korean schools

2 Korean boys born in a NY hosp. back in the 90s: Sumdum and Wunphat sm
and their last name was HO. This is only something I heard from the grapevine a long time ago.
