School shooting, now hitting europe (and games are involved)

It's a very sad day for Scandinavia. And as always; games didn't do it, a severe mental instability did it.

yeah, you're right..

At least 8 dead, the shooter shot himself in the head.

The page has collected some of the info on the guy.

FFS. More young lives extinguished by another mental fuck who seems to like the idea of going around a school and indiscriminately murdering people.

What is it about schools and colleges that nutters want to go around killing anyone they see? I seem to hear about it happening in schools and colleges more than I hear about it happening in, say, shopping malls and stuff.

Horrible stuff, and genuinely frightening knowing some psychotic fuck in your own kids' school could end up doing it. Good job guns are relatively difficult to come by in the UK, especially for kids.

Part of me is glad to know that it's not only the American education system that's turning children in to this, and part of me is wondering if it's just a flaw with the entirety of humanity.

This fucking sucks.

bullshit, media is just overhyping this shit, games and school shooting is just a paradox.

this guy had some serius brain disorder incapabilities or issues, he had used some site where he had his own plans and wrote down his ideas in documents of word.

As someone already posted it in this thread, i just took a look over the site and i found it disgusting, he was mentally disfunctional (you could see the fact by reading his text).

blame it on the head, and my personal opinion and view on this case is that, someone or whatever, should make a new rule: that when you starts in a school the doctor inspects and analyzes you and look if u have any health problems, if they however find any they should send you to threatment, and as you see it would help because he wouldn't be at the school.

I blame it on parents, i do. Seriusly, this is just another black day

Not really, especially in London.

Guns are rediculosly easy to obtain in many areas of the UK.

read the manifesto and be awed.. this guy was so full of hate that he must have been too blinded by it to see his own arguements not making any sense. tragic another guy gave in on hate and ruined alot of lives including his own

I meant 'relatively' as in to, say, Finland and America. In case you weren't aware both countries have more civilian gun owners than almost every other country in the world, which makes it significantly easier to get your hands on one than it is in the UK where we have pretty much the tightest gun law/control in the world.

It may be easy if you know the right people in London and a few other key parts of the UK, but by and large it's much less simple a task than it is in other countries. The gun used by the psycho this thread is about was probably stolen from a relative of the shooter rather than something he sought out and bought from an arms dealer.

I'm going to assume it's no coincidence that the majority of these school shootings by very young people tend to occur in countries with higher general gun availability to the population. Probably makes it easier for such thoughts to infect your mind if you know your dad/granddad/etc always has a gun lying around the house.

it was an .22 pistol, which often are used for ranges and such, and they are easy to get.

Warning flags should have gone up when people found out he named his gun.

What was its name?

I forget it now, he had it plastered over his youtube page. A girls name beginning with C iirc. Catherine or something.

I read his manifesto and had the same reaction I did to Mein Kampf: he started out with a few things I agreed with, things that made sense, then fucked all of it up by making completely illogical conclusions. Like KT said, this guy was completely blinded by his hate.

Pitty.

as much as everyone likes to blame everyone else, my personal opinion is that the world today is a very hateful place, what with the different governments acting hostile towards people and are for the creation of wars (see: right wing parties). without going too much into politics ill suffice to say that reign of these things (whom nobody suspects) pushes people to the edge even more. seeing that there's nothing to live for only presses on urges to die.

i dont know how it is in finland, but i know denmark has an extreme right wing party in charge, and although the riches, taxes and everything are fine and dandy, almost no one from the outside is let in. it's a case of pure antisemitism.

having said that, i of course do not believe this is the main issue, but i would still say it ranks up there along with victimization, bullying and society. i agree it's a sad thing; but i was expecting we'd see more of these things, as morbid as that may sound.
