#1 Roy told ABC News that Cho seemed "extraordinarily lonely -- the loneliest person I have ever met in my life."

There was a reason for this. How sad that so many officials required proof of it first.

#7 My first comment about Monday's events was that we had to rethink our security.
Now we know that in fact our security managed to identify Cho accurately. Our security works, but we must not just drop the ball like in Cho's case.
He and others like him should be removed from regular contact with society. This is one of those times when Nurse Ratchett is the right choice.

#8 On the form, a box is checked, showing that Cho "presents an imminent danger to himself as a result of mental illness." Immediately below it was another box that is not checked: "Presents an imminent danger to others as a result of mental illness."

Are nuts allowed to buy hand guns? Seems someone didn't pass along a bit of useful information for the background checks.
