4. we can try and come up with a host of reasons but sometimes
you just can't...

Today we celebrate the idea of individualism...it used to be that if you weren't part of the lemming pool...you were a freak for trying to stand out..

So if from this fellow's perspective...Cho was just a "lonely guy"...than perhaps people gave him too much space ...and in the end his own imposed isolation became a reality...and colleges are where people are trying to sort things out before they are forced to "grow up" and so sometimes people don't really notice others in those situations.

I don't know that we will ever know what precipitated Cho's actions or behaviors...but it is a tragedy for the victims and for Cho's family.
