Piss off Penn law students and they’ll shoot your shit up

penn.jpgJoseph Cho, a 31-year-old Yale grad, has been arrested and is facing a stack of charges, including aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, trespassing and vandalism. Cho, a law student at Penn, went to the apartment of his neighbors, two Indian lads who are bio-engineering students at Drexel (a school right next door to Penn). He suspected that they were terrorists, and started banging on their door. When they didn’t answer, he pulled out his Glock and started shooting into the door lock (at least the gun was legally owned). He was arrested shortly thereafter.

Cho’s lawyer says that the attack “appears to have been a mental health or emotional issue.” You think?

Penn has suspended Cho, sending the matter to the school’s Committee on Student Conduct and Responsibility.

The moral of this story? While “I’m in Harvard law school” could be a sign that the speaker is an egotistical asshat, it beats “I’m in Penn Law,” which could be a sign that you’re about to get shot!
