Introductory German was meeting in Room 207, a couple dozen students in their first class of the day, when Cho peered in, as though he was looking for someone. One student thought he looked like a Boy Scout. He was wearing the school color--a maroon cap--and a vest with pockets for his ammunition. When he went back into the classroom, he was quiet and purposeful. First he shot instructor Jamie Bishop, 35, in the head. Then he went methodically around the room. Derek O'Dell was hit in the arm; when Cho finally left for the next room...
...team, Kinetic Corporation, for the tenth.Challenged to sell more tickets to Universal Studios Hollywood than Arrow Corporation, Kinetic decided to take advantage of its assets—namely, a roster of cute young women.

Another shows an angry-looking Cho holds a gun to his temple...
...paintings and bronze statues, but the museum does nothing to contextualize the waste of their lives. The kamikaze, after all, did nothing to stop the American war machine from bearing down on Japan. Sending them to their death as suicide bombers was as brutally absurd as the "bulletproof" vest on display in the museum that is nothing more than a cloth shirt stitched with coins from shrines. It's bad enough to lie to foreign countries; to perpetuate that lie to your own people seems unforgivable...
