Can We Identify a Workplace or School Shooter

Like Virginia Tech's Seung-Hui Cho?

Seung-Hui Cho is a classic Cognitive Aggressor.  This is, in part, why security and law enforcement missed him and will continue to miss others like him. 

As opposed to Primal Aggressors, who are believed to be the most dangerous kind of aggressors, Cognitive Aggressors are much more lethal individuals and represents a person whose goal it is to give up their lives for a cause, like any terrorists and/or a workplace or school shooter.

Through an understanding of Cognitive Aggression, individuals like the Seung-Hui Cho can be identified.  However, virtually all security guards and law enforcement officers are looking for Primal Aggressors and therefore will miss this shooter.

We have contracted with the US Military helping them distinguish between innocent but angry civilians from combatants or terrorists using these same measures.

There is an excellent opportunity to understand Primal and Cognitive Aggression by viewing a less-than-20-minutes presentation on-line. You look at the images illustrated in this presentation and then look at Seung-Hui Cho; a picture is worth a thousand words.

We really believe that our Nation’s campuses, both university and high school, and workplaces would be better served by this information.
