"what led to the massacre"

Cho Seung Hui was regarded as a loner by all who knew him, in a video delivered to the media in between his two shooting sprees, he revealed that he was isolated from others and that he was isolated from others and that no one wanted to befriend him. Yet was that what led him to go on a killing spree? He was a loner and had no friends but it was no fault of others. Other students in the campus wanted to befriend him. However he chose to ignore them all and keep to himself. Thus, he has no friends because he chose not to have them and not because others did not want to make friends with him.

What led Cho Seung Hui to committing the massacre was probably his unstable state of mind. He was once given treatment for mental health problems and was subsequently cleared by a psychiatrist. However it is obvious that his state of mind is still unstable as can be seen by the violent scripts he wrote for plays. The isolation he felt probably aggravated the already unstable condition of his mind causing him to go on a killing rampage.
