A couple of one-act plays he wrote for a class were placed on a bulletin board system called Blackboard for peer review, and have been exhumed to the Internet by one of his former classmates. I don't have the link but it won't be hard to find.
Basically they are crap, full of puerile violence, and read as if they were written by an 8th grader who hasn't gotten bored with writing swear words yet.
They are being trotted out as evidence that he should have been pre-emptively locked up/ shot full of government-approved pharmaceuticals (never mind he was on antidepressants anyway)/ shot on sight/ deported to Korea, etc. etc..
So for once a whole subculture isn't being blamed for the actions of a deranged individual. [sarcasm]Though perhaps it's time the creative-writing crowd, that class of professional liars, came in for some overdue suspicion... look at them, making things up with impunity, writing and talking about things that never happened, making people upset, claiming it's all something called "fiction"... in the end, Americans don't trust a writer any more than they trust a reader.[/sarcasm]
