Cho’s Temporary Detention Order

Via Slate comes a facsimile of the papers which called for the hospitalization of Cho Seung-Hui as he “present[ed] an imminent danger to self or others as a result of mental illness, or is so seriously mentally ill as to be substantially unable to care for self and is incapable of volunteering or unwilling to volunteer for treatment.”

    present[ed] an imminent danger to self others as a result of mental illness,

    It says he is a danger to himself but not others, right? Am I misreading the article?

    I should have typed “self or others,” which is what the form says (after magnifying it a lot).
