Virginia Tech Gunman had an accomplice

It is said that the photos and video sent to NBC by Cho Seung-Hui moments before he slaughtered 30 innocents at Norris Hall on the Virginia Tech campus were taken with a cell phone. If that's the case, Cho did not act alone. He had help.

And you may ask, "How, Doug, did you come up with such a crazy hypothesis?"

Look carefully at the pictures.

See how centered they are? See how perfectly framed they are? Ever done that on your own with your cell phone, much less any photo taking device?

Somebody took those photos of Cho. Someone knows more about this. That person may have assisted, or was too scared to come forward after realizing what Cho was up to or what he had done.

I pray for those victims that died at the hands of this madman.

And for those out there (specifically, the commenters on the last post) that thinks I'm off my rocker for my position on this - Are you nuts?

Political Pistachio - The world has gone nuts, and you are siding with it.

To shame.

BTW Sky Dive Rick has opened a blog, and asked me to contribute to it. I accepted. Whew, that makes half a dozen. Hope I can keep up with it. Visit his new blog here: Sky Dive Rick.

Er, possibly, just possibly, the papers that published the pictures did what just about every newspaper and magazine does (indeed, employs picture editors to do) and cropped the pix. Duh!

I didn't know the images were taken with a cellphone. I assumed he had set up a tripod/camera for his pictures/videos. The authorities don't seem to think there was a conspirator, but I've wondered. He was such a loner, it seems unlikely.

Doug thats a good point..even with a tripod. centered, but then again even with a helper the pics would shake..

Hmm I am going with the tripod..

Tripod or not, I can assure you that newspapers, magazines and video editors crop pictures. It's not a good point: it's dumb conspiracy theorising. Of course he used a damn tripod (or similar), and of course the pix were cropped.

Doug

The only "accomplice" I think this guy had was the VT police- who should have locked down the campus after the first two murders

If the police would have locked down the campus during that inbetween time where Cho was finishing off his video will and mailing it to NBC- (90 mins), round 2 of his spree might not have been so devestating.

thanks for the plug, Doug. I think his centered photo observation is a theory and a good one - however, there are always so many variables that can come into play - so be careful, Doug. Fact is, the guy was nuts. Your theory is that he didn't act alone. I agree he had help, but only in reaching his point of insanity, not with the shootings themselves.
