Did "Dateline NBC" push Cho over the edge?
An interesting article in the NY Post. Understand, we're dealing with a psychotic here, so his "reasoning" will not match ours.
1. The night before his murders, Dateline NBC ran a special on a psychotic mass killer, whose history closely tracked that of Cho. Cho was a late night TV fan.
2. In between his earlier and late killings, Cho mailed a package to NBC. No other network was on his mailing list.
3. The package included a note "You pushed me into a corner," that has been interpreted as "everyone pushed me into a corner." Might it instead mean that in his delusional world, NBC had pushed him over the edge.
Comments
Maybe some of the plaintiff's bar can get to the bottom of this. NBC has a pretty deep pocket.

I don't think it matters one way or the other, but it is an interesting question nonetheless.

Ohhh no. Now we have to put a 5 day cooling off period if you want to watch "NBC News.
