Not all stolen vehicles are stolen and stripped for parts. Many are resold to unknowing and unsuspecting buyers. You can be arrested if you knowingly purchase a stolen vehicle. If you buy a stolen car unknowingly, you could lose the car and your money. Avoid becoming the car thief’s second victim by following these tips:
- Be on the lookout for any deal that seems “too good to be true”.
- When buying from a private individual, make sure his name matches the title and registration of the car.
- Be wary of a seller with no fixed address, place of employment, or phone number.
- Ask the seller for references about past financing and insurance on the vehicle. Verify the information with the bank, finance company, or agent.
- Make sure the vehicle identification number (VIN) plate on the automobile’s dash is present, secure, and has no loose rivets.
- Check to make sure the VIN plate has not been repainted and the numbers stamped in the plate appear to be original factory numbers.
- Make sure the VIN plate rivets are original. All 1970 and newer autos produced in North America have stainless steel “rosette-shaped” rivets with six petals and a hole in the middle. They are difficult to scratch with a knife.
- Thieves may remove the VIN plate and replace it with one from a similar wrecked vehicle. If you are doubtful about plate authenticity, check with a new car dealer that handles the same model, or contact a law enforcement agency.
- The VIN on the dash must match the VIN on the registration, title, and federal safety inspection sticker on the driver’s door.
- If the VIN plate is scratched, bent or missing rivets, suspect tampering.
- Make sure the federal safety inspection sticker, located on the driver’s door or door jam, is securely in place and none of the numbers appear to be tampered with.
- Beware of loose dashboards.
- An excessively loose ignition switch may suggest tampering. Check the switch for chisel or pull marks.
- Be cautious of a fresh paint job on a newer vehicle. This may indicate an attempt to change the car’s identity.
- Check the inspection and license plate registration stickers to be sure they are current and issued by the same state.
- If the seller provides you with only copied key and not the original manfacturer’s keys, for a newer model car, be suspicious.
- Titles and registrations are frequently counterfeited. Therefore, ask to see the title before paying, and make sure it matches the registration. By completing all paperwork at the time of sale, you avoid giving the thief extra time to obtain counterfeit documents.
- Question the seller if the registration was recently issued on an older vehicle.
- Compare the engine identification numbers with all other VIN numbers to make sure they match.
- Be wary of new license plates on an old car, or new plate bolts on an older plate.

Mexico is a country decorated with sandy beaches, beautiful bronze-colored bikini clad women, and Tequilas under the sun. It is also a country known as a safe haven for individuals accused of very serious crimes. The resort towns of Cancun and Puerto Vallarta are two points of preferred interest for all criminals alike.
History has shown that many criminals choose Mexico as a country where they feel they can avoid the long arm of American law. Max Factor heir, Andrew Luster, was living in Puerto Vallarta at the time of his arrest by reality TV host and bounty hunter, Duane “The Dog” Chapman.
After murdering his wife and three children in 2001, Christian Longo sought out Cancun as his private place to vacate. At the time of his arrest, Longo was living in a grass shack and dating a new woman when FBI agents with the help of the Mexican federales came knocking on his door to apprehend him.
More recently in the news, Byron Keith Perkins, a federal prisoner serving time for drug distribution and firearms charges, was re-arrested in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico after being released from federal prison back in January 2006 so that he could donate a kidney to his son. Sadly, he never showed up for the compatibility tests needed prior to a kidney donation but instead fled the country leaving his son to find another donor.
Since the early days of the United States, countless murderers, drug dealers, horse thieves, rapists, and tax evaders have looked to Mexico as their place of preference.
So what is it about Mexico? There are so many places in the U.S. for culprits to hide, why do they choose to make their run south of the border? Is it for lunch at Taco Bell?
There are several reasons why criminals opt to make this country their safety nest.
- For one, Mexico has a long history of refusing to extradite suspects who face life in prison or the death penalty. Their court system sees capital punishment and life without the possibility of parole as forms of cruel and unusual punishment. They do, however, favor rehabilitation for the criminal. Unless American authorities are willing to reduce the potential sentence for a perpetrator of a crime, Mexican authorities are reluctant to extradite a suspect.
- Mexico is a country whose authorities are perceived to be anarchistic. Political and police corruption are widespread such that a fugitive with deep pockets can pass a few dollars to an underpaid Mexican police officer to buy his way out of an arrest.
Mexico has a poor track record of sending fugitives back north of the Rio Grande river. For Americans who make a “run for the Bell,” it could be years for U.S. authorities to get them back if they have a good lawyer in Mexico unless Mexico sees no reason to keep a fugitive.
For Mexican citizens who flee to their own country, it is even harder for U.S. officials to bring them in to face justice. The reason for this trend is that many Mexican nationals have families to whom they can turn when seeking asylum from the American legal system. Americans on the other hand are considered outsiders with no roots in Mexico. Unless the American is rich and can support himself in this developing country that provides very few jobs, he has a greater chance of being caught by Mexican law enforcement to face extradition to the U.S.
If the U.S. wants really bad a fugitive living in Mexico, American authorities will just travel there and arrest him themselves. In 1990, this is what happened when the U.S. paid Mexican nationals to kidnap Humberto Alvarez-Machain, a physician from Guadalajara, who was charged by the U.S. of being present when DEA agent Enrique Camarena was handcuffed, tortured, and murdered in 1985 while he was investigating ties between large drug cartels and Mexican officials. Mexican mercenaries flew Alvarez-Machain to the U.S. to face trial in the federal agent’s death.
For the American citizen, Mexico is more than just a place for suntans and Tequilas. It is a place of refuge for criminals who refuse to be prosecuted.

Science has revolutionized the way law enforcement officials are able to obtain a conviction against a suspect. If you are a big fan of the CSI TV shows and have noticed how those crime scene investigator (CSI) technicians collect evidence at crime scenes, then you would have seen those techs pick up minute pieces of evidence that could tell a story of what happened prior to their arrival.
Whenever a crime such as a sexual assault or a rape occurs, the perpetrator will leave something of himself at the crime scene. In particular, he will leave biological evidence that is ultimately collected by CSI technicians.
What happens if a perpetrator leaves only a tiny amount of evidence such as blood or semen? How can law enforcement be able to identify the culprit with such trace amounts? How can laboratory scientists step in to help get a conviction?
In 1993, a Nobel peace prize in chemistry was awarded to Dr. Kary B. Mullis for his invention of polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Dr. Mullis invented this technique while working for the Cetus Corporation in 1983. This method of replicating DNA, or copying DNA, is used to produce large amounts of DNA necessary for a DNA profile, another scientific procedure used to distinguish individuals of the same species using samples of their DNA.
In law enforcement, DNA profiling can be used to establish one person as the perpetrator or exclude another person as a suspect in a crime. This method has led to the exoneration of convicted felons who spent years behind bars while pleading their innocence.
In 1987, a Florida rapist, Tommie Lee Andrews, became the first person convicted as a result of DNA evidence used against him for the rape of a woman and burglary of her home. He was sentenced that same year to 22 years in prison.
Alternatively, in 1989, a Chicago man by the name of Gary Dotson was the first man to have his conviction overturned by using DNA profiling that excluded him as a suspect in a rape for which he was falsely imprisoned.
DNA profiling can also determine if there were multiple culprits involved in a crime such as a gang rape where one semen sample collected during a vaginal swab can yield more than one DNA sample.
Several jurisdictions now have databases that contain DNA profiles of suspects in a crime. In the UK, for example, the National DNA Database (NDNAD) contains well over 7 million records of as of 2007. NDNAD currently contains the most extensive DNA database in the world.
In the United States, the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) contains the largest DNA database in North America. You have heard the mention of CODIS on CSI from time to time. CODIS is run by the FBI and helps solve crimes by searching DNA profiles sent in by federal, state, or local crime labs.
Science has been able to do more than just identify suspects in a recent crime. Some of these techniques have been used to establish a DNA profile on cold case crimes that occurred well before the invention of PCR. In fact, science has been able to establish DNA profiles from biological evidence extracted from known human remains in murder cases that occurred in the 60’s.
Science has come a long way in helping authorities catch the culprits. Other than relying on witness testimony, juries have looked to scientific facts that have been able to speak louder on a witness stand in order to convince them to convict or acquit a defendant.
Gone are the days when witnesses falsely testify or poorly recall that a certain person committed a crime when he did not. Scientific evidence can make or break that case.
Today it is harder for a perpetrator to get away with a crime than it was 30, 40, or 50 years ago.

Prejudice exists on many different levels and in every single culture to some degree. This prejudice seems particularly prevalent within the borders of the United States, especially when it comes to immigrants or “non Americans.” Asians are feeling this racial prejudice very strongly, particularly when celebrities on the television, such as Rosie O’Donnell, make jokes and slurs against Asians on national TV as she recently did on her show, “The View.” This can only add fuel to an already raging fire.
The particular referenced slur was in regards to the “Ching, Chong” that Ms. O’Donnell spouted on her show. Unfortunately, this type of intolerance is common. Asians often have a more difficult time learning to express themselves appropriately through the English language. Many American movies capitalize on this and turn it into humor at the expense of the Asian race. Though many famous Asians have a strong command in the American movie market, there are still often jokes made because these Asians struggle so with the most difficult language in the world to master.
The “Oriental” look may also be a contributing factor to the apparent prejudice that seems to embody some areas of the United States in particular. Although the “Oriental” look is considered great beauty by many, it can also lead to a type of profiling because immediately it is apparent that the person is “not American.” It is this attitude of looking so different that many Asian youth are making attempts to “fit in” with their American neighbors. They are dying their hair brown, red and even blond while wearing blue or green contacts. While they may be taking somewhat successful steps in “fitting in,” they are turning away from a rich, beautiful heritage of which they should be proud.
It appears that many Asian young people are moving away from the quiet honor that their parents and grandparents once held in such high regard. They are “pimping out” their 4-cylinder Hondas and Toyotas, adding engines with lots of horsepower and neon lights on the frame in an attempt to “Americanize” themselves and appear more American, perhaps in an attempt to really fit in. They are adapting urban phrases and talk about “chillin’ in the ghetto” or “reppin’ the hood.” These phrases are barely acceptable by the majority of Caucasian Americans, but when the prejudiced feel alienated, they take extreme actions in an attempt to blend in, to fit in.
In certain areas of America, Caucasian-Americans view Asians as a threat to their jobs. There is a general consensus that Asian workers work harder for less money. Whether that is true or not is irrelevant. What is important is that the obvious prejudice that is often felt in many areas. The Southern States in America, typically referred to as the “Bible Belt,” is well known for its prejudicial references to many groups, including African Americans, Asians and even Americans from the Northern states (also known as Yankees).
As the election year approaches in America, there is much talk because for the first time in United States history both a woman and an African American stand a very good chance at being elected into the presidency. Presidential elections have been held in America for more than three hundred years and this is just now coming about. Is America truly as advanced as much of the world believes? Were an Asian American to run for office, even for a local government such as city council or mayor, would they be elected? Would one particular geographical region be more inclined to elect an Asian American while other geographical regions would not?
Historically we have seen racial prejudices among Asians of different countries. This is really no different from any other race on earth, but for some reason this stands as an international fascination. At some point or other the Japanese seem to have alienated just about all other Asian races. There is evidence that many Asian races feel prejudiced from other Asian races. One of the most striking prejudices, however, is that Asians who are non American and residing outside of the United States and are prejudiced against the Asian Americans who live within the United States’ borders. The Asian Americans seem, at times, to be considered sell-outs, especially as their children strive to become more Americanized.
When we look at the events at Virginia Tech on April 16, 2007, we must question what role, if any, did racial prejudice play in Seung Hui Cho’s criminal actions? He claimed in his letters and writings to have been taunted and teased by his peers. Was this due to his ethnicity? Could negative stereotypes of Asians have influenced how Cho was treated by his peers, or could it have been a factor in why he was so reserved and withdrawn. Sometimes, even perceived prejudice can play a very large part in how a person acts in social situations. With such negative stereotypes on the television, movie screen and in the American media, could this have instilled in Cho a feeling of hopelessness and helplessness, a feeling that despite his best efforts he would never fit in? Combine that with the widely accepted violent attitudes that seem to permeate American culture today and you have a true disaster brewing.
Would Cho have benefited more from being treated by doctors who better understood his heritage? Even if he had turned away somewhat from his Asian heritage, his photos show some mild attempts of his to appear more American, would an Asian counselor and doctor have been better able to reach him and perhaps prevent the tragedy?
Prejudice and alienation are extremely painful and lonely. When you are perceived as “different” you are laughed at, gawked at and left out. Different is not always a positive asset in American society.

You have heard it in the movie Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back when Boba Fett, a bounty hunter, arrested Han Solo and encased him in carbonite leaving him in suspended animation.
Just exactly what is a bounty hunter? What do they do?
A bounty hunter (a.k.a. bail enforcement agent, bail agent, bail officer, fugitive recovery officer, or bail fugitive recovery specialist) is a person who arrests fugitives for compensation. In general, the “hunt” for a fugitive is made in order to recover a suspect who has failed to show up for a scheduled court date.
The defendant’s failure to appear in court allows the court to put out a bench warrant, or arrest warrant, on the defendant. At this time, the bail bondsman, the person who paid money to the court, or bail, for the defendant to get out of jail, can either forfeit that money or bring the defendant, now called a fugitive, back to court to stand trial. This is where the bounty hunter, who is hired by the bail bondsman, steps in to apprehend a fugitive. The bounty hunter is the bail bondsman’s way of making sure that clients show up for court.
Most bounty hunters carry tools of the trade similar to law enforcement personnel. Some of the tools they carry include a badge, radio, bullet proof vest, firearm, handcuffs, pepper spray, Taser gun, or stun gun.
When recovering a fugitive from justice, bail enforcement agents have an advantage over law enforcement personnel. When they come to arrest a fugitive, no warrant is required for bail agents to enter his private property. They DO need a warrant to re-arrest a fugitive.
Do you want to become the next Boba Fett or Duane Chapman?
In order to become a bail agent, you must consider the state in which you plan to practice as a professional bounty hunter. Some states hold bail agents to varying standards of licensure and training. In California and Texas, for example, bounty hunters must pass certain training courses and complete a thorough background check. In Louisiana, the state requires their agents to wear clothing identifying them as bail agents. In Kentucky, it is illegal to bounty hunt. The exception, however, is that a fugitive can be hunted down if he fled to Kentucky to avoid federal charges in another state. Most bounty hunters are not allowed to carry firearms unless they have proper permits to carry.
Most bounty hunters are employed by bail bondsmen and can operate legally in all 50 states except Kentucky. They have an obligation to the courts that the fugitives appear for trial.
Bounty Hunters in Media
If you are a big fan of Dog: The Bounty Hunter as I am, you may have heard that Duane Chapman, the show’s host, pursued a fugitive, Andrew Luster, in Mexico back in June 2003. In Mexico, Duane Chapman himself got arrest by Mexican authorities because his arrest of a fugitive is considered kidnapping under their laws.
Shortly after Chapman’s release and return to the United States, a Mexican prosecutor declared Chapman and his “hunt” team fugitives from justice. In September 2006, just days before the statute of limitations was about to expire, fugitive recovery specialists from the U.S. Marshals Service came to arrest Chapman and his team and jailed them in Honolulu, Hawaii on behalf of Mexican authorities.
As of February 2007, Hawaii State Representatives have requested President Felipe Calderon of Mexico to drop extradition charges against Chapman and his team.

Taser International recently released the latest consumer stun gun - the C2 Taser. This Taser gun was specifically designed to be used by the general public to protect themselves in case of an attack. It has nearly the same amount of stopping power found in police-issue Tasers, but it is lighter and friendlier to use. Unlike many personal stun guns on the market, the C2 is not shaped like a gun. It is more like an electric razor. Its unique shape means that attackers are less likely to realize that it is a threat, which makes it easily concealable. Other, less expensive stun guns are shaped like a handgun, and thus more immediately threatening and harder to conceal. They also often have a less reliable battery than the C2.
The C2 Taser can stop a threat up to 15 feet away, or can be used as a contact stun device to repel someone who is close to you. It comes with a replaceable cartridge, integrated LED light, optional laser sight, and trigger safety cover. The hand grip of this air Taser has been designed so that anyone of any size can use it. This is good news for small women who up till now may have had trouble with larger, bulkier models. The C2 also has a lifetime replacement guarantee and one year warranty. It runs on a long life, low-maintenance lithium battery that delivers more than fifty possible firings.
When the C2 Taser is shipped, it is deactivated. The Taser gun can only be activated by Taser International once the buyer has passed a security and background check. This prevents convicted felons and underage persons from legally buying a C2. These devices also each have a unique serial number, and are equipped with Anti-Felon Identification tags, which allow police to track potential misuse. The C2 can be purchased at Internet retailers and from Taser International - either through the web or by phone. It retails for $299 US and is available in designer colors such as Black Pearl, Titanium Silver, Electric Blue, and Metallic Pink. Over 10,000 law enforcement officers in this country are permitted the use of a Taser. For one the general public to purchase the C2 legally, it will be necessary to check the local and state laws regarding such stun guns. Some states have restrictions on Taser devices.
Some people believe that these air Tasers can be misused and must be further restricted, citing instances of police abuse. Others say that so long as stun guns are used correctly and legally, they will be safe. Strict background checks are currently required for the purchase of a C2 Taser. There is a small fee for the performance of this check, after which the purchaser will receive their activation code. Until this time, the Taser is nonfunctional. The C2 is designed to be one of the most accessible stun guns on the market, usable by any adult. This makes the civilian C2 the first really viable Taser available to the general public.

If you have ever watched Arts & Entertainment’s Dog: The Bounty Hunter on cable TV and wondered how is it that the Dog, Duane Chapman, is allowed to make an arrest? Exactly what is he doing to force an arrest? Under what authority is he making an arrest?
How is he allowed to wear a badge if he himself is a convicted felon?
When the Dogman and his team pursues a suspect out on the streets of the beautiful islands of Hawaii to arrest a bail jumper, he is executing an age-old U.S. law that allows citizens, acting as bounty hunters, to make “citizen’s arrests” on their suspects. As a bounty hunter, he is a private citizen who acquired a license to work as a bail enforcement agent. For that reason, he is allowed to wear a badge. Furthermore, as a private citizen and not as an employee of a law enforcement agency, he is allowed to make a citizen’s arrest to enforce bail.
A citizen’s arrest does not necessarily require that you wear a badge and carry a 9 oz. bottle of pepper spray like Duane Chapman does on his TV program. To make a citizen’s arrest, you must witness a crime in progress or have witnessed a crime and call police to take down a report. By having police take a report so that THEY can apprehend the perpetrator later, you are, in effect, making a citizen’s arrest. You are not detaining the perp yourself by stunning him with your very own Taser gun you bought on the Internet and hogtying him for police to arrive although this CAN happen.
An example of a citizen’s arrest is when a department store detective finds on his video camera that a shoplifter is smuggling items into a shopping bag with the intent to leave the store without paying for the items. When the detective accosts the perpetrator, brings them to the security office in the back of the store, and subsequently calls police to take them away, the store detective has made a citizen’s arrest.
The store detective, a private citizen, witnessed a crime on the store’s surveillance camera and called police to have the culprit taken to jail. This is a citizen’s arrest.
In Duane Chapman’s case, he is using a variation of a citizen’s arrest rule. Consider this scenario. A bail jumper is out on bail for a crime he committed and runs the risk of failing to show up for a scheduled court date. Then a bail enforcement agent, Chapman, comes to arrest the jumper and takes them to the local Hawaii jail where authorities await their arrival. Duane Chapman has made a citizen’s arrest but an arrest under the authority of the bounty hunter laws of the U.S. Constitution. The fact that he is a licensed bail enforcement agent allows him to handcuff a suspect to detain them.
If you witness a crime, do not attempt to detain the culprit for litigious and safety reasons. You could run the risk of getting arrested yourself if you violate any kidnapping laws. Gather as much information as you can about the crime and the perp to make a police report so that you can do your civic duty of making a citizen’s arrest.

It is a sad week in America this week when news broke out about a college student who opened fire upon his fellow students leaving 32 people dead and subsequently taking is own life in the end in a small town college campus in Blacksburg, VA.
Seung Hui Cho, a 23-year-old South Korean national and U.S. legal resident, was found dead on the campus of Virginia Tech on April 16, 2007 after going on a shooting spree that reduced the population of this college by 33 students.
Many gun and anti-gun advocates would agree that such a crime should not have happened. Some question how the assailant was able to obtain a firearm if he is not legal to vote in a country that gave him only a green card, a status signifying a halfway point between illegal status and full-fledged American.
Immigrants who are walking on the road to U.S. citizenship are awarded some privileges as they seek to become naturalized citizens. Some of those privileges include getting financial aid to attend college, getting a social security number, being allowed to work a regular job, and buying a firearm. Buying a firearm??
Yet these same individuals are not allowed to vote in the U.S. Voting is a right allowed for all Americans as well as buying and keeping a firearm. How is it that federal law bars Mr. Cho from voting for the next president but allows him to purchase a deadly weapon in order to go on a shooting rampage? Something is not right here.
Given his previous history of mental compromise, he should not have been able to walk into a gun shop and take home two semi-automatic pistols. The application to buy a firearm should read “You must be a U.S. citizen” instead of “You must be a U.S. citizen or legal resident.”
It is my humble opinion that only Americans should be allowed to purchase firearms for the protection of themselves and their families. Legal residents are still learning the laws required to take the U.S. citizenship exam. I do not think those laws cover firearms as of yet.
Again, the question is why is Mr. Cho allowed to buy a firearm? What would be going on in peoples’ minds if Iraqi citizens with U.S. legal residency walked into a gun shop and bought thirty AK-47 assault rifles? There should be cause for concern there. This definitely would raise red flags on my part. What would they be doing with these weapons?
Being an advocate for immigrants’ right to seek U.S. citizenship, I think there are more important things that immigrants should be concerned about than buying firearms. I think that their quest for U.S. citizenship should be foremost on immigrants’ minds than buying a gun especially in Cho’s case.
The Constitution needs to be amended to exclude firearms purchases from legal residents whom we are not sure will become U.S. citizens.
Not legal to vote, but legal to buy a gun. How silly is this?

It is a sad week all over the nation this week when a senior college student opened fire on fellow students at a small town college. First, he opened fire in a high rise dormitory. Two hours later, he gunned down several more students in a second floor classroom.
Seung Hui Cho, a South Korean, was determined to be responsible for the massacre that occurred at Virginia Tech (VT) on April 16, 2007. With pistols that he purchased several weeks ago, he turned the campus into a shooting gallery that took the lives of 32 VT students as well as his very own.
What went on in the mind of this young man? What could possibly drive him to a mentally depressed state that ultimately lead to him to snap as he did? Is it possible that he did not have a good home life? Was he a victim of bullyism in school similar to Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, the students to whom Cho refers as martyrs, from the Columbine incident?
Is society too quick to condemn Mr. Cho for the shootings or is there something more that needs to be investigated? We could speculate that Mr. Cho had psychological problems stemming from his childhood.
In fact, it was later reported after the shooting spree that Seung Hui Cho was a victim of taunting by fellow classmates while he was in school shortly after his arrival in the U.S. in 1992. Due to his lack of command of the English language, classmates mocked him for “having something in his mouth” while he talked.
Could it be surmised that years of these taunts drove Cho into depression? Is it possible that these taunts were a form of verbal bullyism inflicted on him? Did he try to fit in and was ultimately rejected because of looking too “Oriental?” Was he rejected for his supposed “speech impediment?”
These are a small number of many unanswered questions that could have lead Cho to explode beyond the words he described in his creative writing classes. In fact, I believe that he is referring to members of the American mainstream society in his video manifesto. Specifically, the “you” is the all-American rich kids that he talks about. He envied their lifestyle. He envied their “gold necklaces” and their “trust funds” because he did not have them as he was growing up.
The fact that he is Asian, looked different, and spoke a different language than his peers may have alienated him from his fellow classmates. Being a foreigner in a new land and new school could have been psychologically intimidating for him. Not knowing what to say, how to act, or how to dress around these people could have contributed to his depression.
First of all, language must have placed a psychological barrier between him and his classmates. It is possible that this wall was placed not only by Mr. Cho upon his arrival to the U.S., but also by his classmates who felt that it was easier to make fun of him rather than reach out to him and be his friend.
Secondly, his foreign looks may have caused him to withdraw from the mainstream American society. In my high school days, I knew a classmate who was born with a harelip and had problems verbalizing herself clearly and effectively. If you could hear her talk, it DID sound like she had a speech problem. One found it hard to understand her. Academically, she was the smartest person among all of us yet she was withdrawn because of her birth feature. Fortunately, for me and my classmates, this person did not take out her frustrations with a semi-automatic. In fact, when I got to know her better in chemistry class in college, she studied to become an electrical engineer and is now working for one of the biggest companies in the state.
It is possible that Mr. Cho, being Asian in an all-white school, felt the same way. He looked different. Many of my Asian friends I have known over the years reported being prejudiced by their Caucasian counterparts while they were in grade school. They were the subject of ridicule because their hair was too dark, or their parents spoke with funny accents, or their lunch food was untradeable because it smelled too funny. Little things like these can take its toll on a person’s mind. How we choose to deal with those years of torment is the subject of this week’s Virginia Tech rampage.
Mr. Cho simply could not take it anymore. If I interpret his video manifesto correctly, I believe that he was filled with years of torment that lead to this week’s mass killings. He did not have a lot of people who wanted to befriend him when he was 8 years old upon his arrival in 1992. His manifesto showed he had rage filled in his eyes. Years of age that built up from the kinds of verbal, psychological, and social abuse that he reluctantly received. He felt that the only way to get revenge was with a firearm. In fact, vengeance was his motive against those “brats.”
He did not have the expensive cognac nor did he know nice women who would give him the time of day. Who would if he was stalking them? Perhaps he was jealous of the lifestyle of mainstream American society since he grew up in a poor country. His parents were poor in South Korea and decided to move to the U.S. in search of a better lifestyle. When he tried to achieve that lifestyle by first trying to “fit in,” he was rejected from the beginning 15 years ago.
I believe that Mr. Cho had a right to lash out with WORDS, but not with BULLETS. Anybody who goes to that extreme seriously must have failed to get some professional help. A cry for help was seen in his previous writings that should have prompted university officials to bar him from attending classes pending the outcome of a thorough psychological evaluation. It is also my belief that the school system failed to give him enough treatment for his problems. No doubt there will be lawsuits stemming from this week’s incident against the university.
Because Mr. Cho failed to get what he needed from his psychologists or psychiatrists he found no other solution. He was “backed into a corner,” as an eloquent Mr. Cho puts it. Mr. Cho’s death was the ultimate price he had to pay for failing to get the treatment he so direly needed for the years of frustration bottled up in his mind, heart, and soul.

Even though the primary choice is to avoid or deter physical assault whenever you can, such a case is not always possible. There may be confrontations in which you can not run away fast enough or where your attempts to diffuse a hostile situation are pointless. When you face imminent bodily injury or harm, you need to know how to defend yourself quickly and effectively especially if you find yourself without your pepper spray or stun gun in hand, and you are left with only your bare hands as tools for your safety.
You may be walking home to your dorm room on a college campus and feel uneasy about walking by yourself because the campus’ escort service is closed for the evening. The knowledge of practical self defense could come in handy for your benefit and perhaps save your life.
Girls especially make vulnerable targets simply because they are physiologically weaker than guys. Look for classes in self defense that are taught on your campus or your local community. Sign up for classes that are catered for women only.
There are self defense classes that are taught specifically for the female community where no men are allowed to take. The class should also teach self defense methods catered to females who are short in stature. The reason for that is that a potential assailant statistically is taller in stature than his female victim.
First hand knowledge of self defense methods can help a woman out of a potentially dangerous or volatile situation. Knowledge of striking points on the assailant can come in handy when you sign up for these classes.
For example, if a woman is grabbed from behind and locked into a bear hug, a good striking point would be the assailant’s knee or foot. If you are wearing high heels, use the pointed end of your heels to your advantage in this situation by digging the heel right into the perpetrator’s knees. If you are still standing on your feet, you can use your high heels and stomp on his feet.
This should buy you some time to run and call for help.
In another example, if your mouth is not covered by the assailant’s hands, another good technique to use is to yell out “FIRE!” Do NOT yell out “HELP!” When people hear the word “FIRE,” they are more likely to come to your rescue or call police on your behalf thus cutting down on the response time in getting the help you need. Yelling out “help” on the other hand will cause people to stop and assess the situation, where you could lose precious time in getting any real help.
