When you are done with your handwringing, praying, search for the guilty and punishment of the innocent try looking at what the magician is doing with his OTHER hand.
I'd like to know why wiki pulled the photo. Mil-intel. can hack any site, esp. this kind, to pull incriminating evidence. Look at the man's hairline and his eyebrows--definitely looks Cho. But who's that other Marine outfitted man next to "Cho?" His eyes are dazed, if not drugged looking. His eyes seem to be saying that part of him is unsure about the exercise he and Cho are doing. Cho, in this photo, definitely looks amped---he was on antidepressants, remember? So he'd be wired and speedy, but his partner looks doped the other way--downers. And that truck looks straight military. What is going on?

Definitely photoshopped. You can see not only in the shoulder join, but also in the fact that the shadows caused by the edge of the faces are BETWEEN them. This could only be accomplished with two light sources, yet the catch-light in the eyes reveals only one flash.

I think the biggest thing in this story. The kid bought a pistol day's or hours before on his credit card to kill these kids. How the hell did he kill so many people. He had no gun training. Yet he hit 32 people dead with 70 rounds. Then he had the balls to shot himself in the back of the head. Not to mention he even knew how to make hollow point bullets. This kid could have been military no doubt.

BTW I think the uniform on the rightside of the image is rainwear or wet weather wear. The left uniform is just bdu with a different camo pattern than normal.

1. Those are not 'old' BDU's.
2. Actually, they aren't even USMC BDUs. I know this for a fact. They actually look more like British BDUs.

BTW, the U.S. Marine Corp do not display 'Marine' on their uniform as shown in the pic.

It's MARPAT design BDU's it's 100% USM or as close as any joe on the street will be able to get to it and you can buy it easily on the internet and from good up to date supply stores yes i'll admit it's not exacatly old it's been redesigned a few times since 2004 i believe and i think it's currently going to be overhauled again by the other different armed forces.
Plus i agree it's hard to tell with a face mask on

BTW, if any of you are suggesting that this is Cho in a Marine uniform. Not likely.

Dude exacatly he either had training with some sort of gun or something people can reason that anybody can kill anybody with a gun it's not hard etc. yeah sure but you have to know how to hold the damn thing first it's not some John Woo movie where he goes around with both guns in both hands blasting the place up he would of needed hell of strength to pull that off and not shatter his wrists.
Another thing that bother's me is did he kill 32 people and injure so many others by aiming randomly while people were running and in class etc. or did the guy kill that many people because he had the skill to do it??
It seems he did a sort of blitz attack. He walked in the first class and shot the teacher and from near the door picked students off as they dove for cover. He then left and went to the next room as the (German) teacher was heading to the door. He shot the teacher in the head. He was making head shots while he and his targets were moving. He then picked off students from the front of the class and wounded or killed all but 3. He then left and the 3 ran to the door and held it shut. He went to an engineering class and tried to push the door open but the teacher held it. When he over powered the teacher he pushed in the room and killed him with a head shot. Most of the students dove off the window ledge while the teacher held the door. But the three who remained he shot while walking to them. He returned to prior rooms and found the door blocked by the 3 unwounded students so he fired through the door they did not give way so he moved on.
He returned to a room where everyone was wounded except one girl and he walked around and put two extra bullets into some of the victims.
