I can't believe there isn't a thread for this yet.
Some asshole shot and killed 9 people in the newest school massacre - the first ever for Finland. The most ridiculous part is that it MIGHT have been prevented (not that anyone would have known to watch it), because he posted a warning on YouTube hours before it happened. Of course, only after he killed everyone did they realise what the warning was about - but I think it was PRETTY OBVIOUS.

Disgusting Aryan bastard.

TUUSULA, Finland - An 18-year-old gunman opened fire at his high school in this placid town in southern Finland on Wednesday, killing seven other students and the principal before mortally wounding himself in a rampage that stunned a nation where gun crime is rare.

Police were analyzing YouTube postings that appeared to anticipate the massacre, including clips in which a young man calls for revolution and apparently prepares for the attack by test firing a semiautomatic handgun.

Investigators said the gunman, who was not identified, shot himself in the head after the shooting spree at Jokela High School in Tuusula, some 30 miles north of the capital, Helsinki. He died later at Toolo Hospital in Helsinki.

The teen killed five boys, two girls and the female principal with a .22-caliber pistol, police said. Officials said one person was wounded by a bullet and about a dozen others suffered cuts and other injuries while fleeing the school. Officials said more than 400 students ages 12 through 18 were enrolled.

Witnesses described a scene of mayhem at the school in this leafy lakeside community, saying the shooter prowled the building looking for victims while shouting slogans for “revolution.”

Police Chief Matti Tohkanen said the gunman didn’t have a previous criminal record. “He was from an ordinary family,” Tohkanen said. He said the teen belonged to a gun club and had gotten a license for the pistol Oct. 19.

Gun ownership is fairly common in Finland by European standards, but deadly shootings are rare. Finnish media reported that a school shooting in 1989 involved a 14-year-old boy who killed two other students apparently for teasing him.

Internet videos
Investigators were searching for connections to the shooter and a possible motive in YouTube postings that appeared to reveal plans for Wednesday’s deadly attack.

One video, titled “Jokela High School Massacre,” showed a picture of what appeared to be the Jokela school and two photos of a young man holding a handgun. Electronic music played in the background with a growling voice singing “I am your apocalypse.” This video appears on LiveLeak.com.

The person who posted the video was identified in the user profile as an 18-year-old man from Finland. The posting was later removed.



Source.
The video has been removed, but you should be able to find it or parts of it if you search.
He also made a Myspace page warning of the attack.

I heard about this. This is so terrible. Words cannot describe how evil and deranged this young man must've been.

Fucking school massacres and murderers. >:(

it`s horrible and awful sad, I can`t believe no one could do such a thing sad.gif

He's a psychopathic.
It's also a sociological disorder.
He was probably raised in some unknown manner that is different from most.
He might have been an isolate (Devoid of Emotional contact)
Or he might have been treated bitterly.

There was one in Montreal, as we all remember.
This man was also a Phsychopathic.
Except his father beat him and his mother... they divorced.
After they divorced, his Mother went to school, leaving him alone to to the housework.
At this point he was left endless hours alone.
He would watch war movies night after night.
He was an A+ Student and could be described as Silent and non-Talkative.
One recent interview with a teacher says that the teacher used to call him an Idol student.
He soon moved out, tried to apply to a University but they wouldn't accept him.

Why?

Because during the interview, he was described as Crazy.

He applied for the army and they said the same thing.

So he finally got into college.

He did all of his work.

He had a girlfriend, who he got pregnant.
She wanted to abort the baby and he cried out Feminist night after night, he abused her and she soon left him.
He continued to watch war movies and had this eerie skull... Hanging in his front window.

Just before he snapped, going to the University that declined him and shooting all of those women and himself, while shouting feminists,

He wrote a suicide note...

This is his suicide note.



Forgive the mistakes, I had 15 minutes to write this. See also Annex.

Would you note that if I commit suicide today 89-12-06 it is not for economic reasons (for I have waited until I exhausted all my financial means, even refusing jobs) but for political reasons. Because I have decided to send the feminists, who have always ruined my life, to their Maker. For seven years life has brought me no joy and being totally blasé, I have decided to put an end to those viragos.

I tried in my youth to enter the Forces as an officer cadet, which would have allowed me possibly to get into the arsenal and precede Lortie in a raid. They refused me because antisocial (sic). I therefore had to wait until this day to execute my plans. In between, I continued my studies in a haphazard way for they never really interested me, knowing in advance my fate. Which did not prevent me from obtaining very good marks despite my theory of not handing in work and the lack of studying before exams.

Even if the Mad Killer epithet will be attributed to me by the media, I consider myself a rational erudite that only the arrival of the Grim Reaper has forced to take extreme acts. For why persevere to exist if it is only to please the government. Being rather backward-looking by nature (except for science), the feminists have always enraged me. They want to keep the advantages of women (e.g. cheaper insurance, extended maternity leave preceded by a preventative leave, etc.) while seizing for themselves those of men.

Thus it is an obvious truth that if the Olympic Games removed the Men-Women distinction, there would be Women only in the graceful events. So the feminists are not fighting to remove that barrier. They are so opportunistic they neglect to profit from the knowledge accumulated by men through the ages. They always try to misrepresent them every time they can. Thus, the other day, I heard they were honoring the Canadian men and women who fought at the frontline during the world wars. How can you explain then that women were not authorized to go to the frontline??? Will we hear of Caesar's female legions and female galley slaves who of course took up 50% of the ranks of history, though they never existed. A real Casus Belli.

Sorry for this too brief letter.

-How sick was that? Sick I know.

But it's also not his fault, it's the parents behavior and the unrealistic family itself that made him this deranged.
So instead of blaming him, (Of course, he is to blame.. I know)
We should do something to stop all of this family abuse and isolated children.
Don't you feel that people should live the way we do?
Eat the way we can?
Even live without harm?

If so, give me a msg.
I'm making a group atm to try and stop most of this from happening.
Because I just feel that damn bad about it.
Who's with me?!

(The picture was the classroom in which he shot all of those women)

wow i never heard about that
ThatsMyName
arghh why dont people see this stuff coming in time. If theres an isolated type of person who writes satanic sings in his/her school books, make assignments about hitler being a genious, or makes videos with him/her blasting pumpkins to bits with a rifle, someone should probably consider contacting the authorities. Maybe we should start searching youtube for disturbing vidoes of kids playing with guns, so we can try prevent this from happening in another school in another country...

I was very chocked when I heard about this. I never thought that something terribles as that would ever happen here in any of the nordic countries. It can be my school next.

And I can't understand how a boy in my age can be filled with so much hate and anger. It's scary. And sad.

well anyway.. let's hope it never happen again.
nba185
Heard about that.

School shootings are happening once every 3 months. MAD WORLD.
partydrugs
I read about this earlier today.
I wouldn't have expected something like this to happen in a place like Finland, but it goes to show that we can't escape violence.

It's really scary because I'm hearing that school shootings like this every other month. École Polytechnique de Montréal, Columbine, Virginia Tech, now this.

UBC asked for our cell phone numbers so that if an event such as a school shooting were to occur, we would recieve an emergency text message.

that is sick. its horrible that we live in a world where stuff like this happens

There will always be individauls with psychological problems. Most of the occurrences are due to genetic factors, so there's not much you could do to prevent it.

This kid must have been a hell of a shot to kill 8 people with a .22 handgun. That's insane.

He probably played a lot of halo.

When he was running low on health and couldn't find a health pack he was like "lol, I denied your kill!"
DrakeN
Halo doesnt have health packs...
Da Pig
Actually, it did. In the first one you had health and a shield.

When I heard about it (I had just came from my sportpractice), I could not believed what I've just heard. Finland was suppose to be safe, especially schools were suppose to be safe place to be, but after this, I was shocked. I didn't wan't to go to school the next day, because if that kind of thing had happened in such a small school, it could have happened also in MY school.

You can read more about it at BBC-site.

He practised on pumpkins and grapefruits and shit. Posted videos of it on YouTube.

I just heard of this yesterday while in class.
Its crazy, its sad that he had to go through this all alone.

I have a feeling that he was driven even more with a plan and everything after seeing what happened in the states. This is why we shouldnt show so much coverage about these things. It only gives ideas, but im not blaming it on anyone.
These things are happening quite frequently now.

We just dont hear about all of them. Aswell, I think we need to pay more attention to children/teens/adults that arent very social and may not have many friends. Since those are the people that are having a hard time in life, (most of the time) and we need to help them ven if sometimes they'll reject your help.

You said that he must have learned to shoot from playing halo. But wasn't this guy a member of a "haunting-insitute", and I think he used to hunt deers and such.. He had rights to own a weapon I think..

As much as I agree with you about the sick world part, it's apathy that's making this stuff happen. I bet you would care if it was your children being murdered just because some kid is angsty and thinks he's fighting a political war.

Screw it, even if they were your friends. Or your sister. You would care.

You can't think about this like "it was only 9 people" or "they're on the other side of the world, so I don't care".
Every one of those people had countless friends and family who were all affected by it, whose lives will never be the same because of some kid's hissy fit. And people like you who don't bat an eyelid are the reason this still happens.

@da pig: you're an childish idiot. go f*ck yourself!

@topic: his parents and society have to be blamed. obviously they didn't care much about him, otherwise they would have noticed that he developed in a strange way.
