That's where I beg to differ. His actions were psychopathic, but his thought process was clearly
psychotic which is where he differs from guys like Ted Bundy who was a classic, dyed in the wool type
psychopath. Read/listen to Cho's rants, read his "play" (it is available on Smoking Gun). The
thoughts are delusional, paranoid and persecutory. There is much derailing and tangentiality. Jesus
put cancer in his brain? He had been burned and sliced ear to ear? Had garbage shoved down his
throat? All consisting of somatic and other delusional material, and psychotic type thinking. His
course of action, I'd agree falls into the prototypic Psychopathic category, but his underlying
pathology, I think was more like a Paranoid Schizophrenic. He had no affect per se, flat-plus, was
totally isolated (probably self induced) and had a rather involved delusional system which was forming
early in his adolescent years, all in keeping with a psychotic disorder like PS. You don't have to hear
voices to be psychotic, and I still stick by my guns (I'm probably the only person who thinks this), but
the more I reflect upon it, I say Paranoid Schiz who became unglued....He fills enough of Bleuler's "A"s
to make it to the "A" team. That's my story and I'm stickin' with it.
I would love to know how he would have fared on Quetiapine or one of the newer agents, and,
given
the final scenario, wished he would have made the decision to do the suicide part first, rather than
last.
Sorry, I'd rather see one dead sick asshole, than 30 plus innocents.
