High School massacre in Jokela, Finland!

Tuike

There was today a horrible school shooting here in Finland, over 5 people are dead, including principle.

It made CNN news: CNN: Gunman caught after school death

The shooter was a complete psyco. Here's his Youtube profile: Sturmgeist89 (* Accoring to news sources, he worshipped Stalin and Hitler and mumbled something about survival of the fittest. He copied his ideas from a recent school shooting in USA. Wikipedia entry in English.

Shoking! Confused

Youtube account was just suspended.

Sorry to hear that Tuike.

In a small closely knit country like Finland, this must be a big shock.

My sympathies to you.

It's very sad when psychopathic murderers go after children.

My sympathies to their loved ones and to all Finns.

The Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet has 2 short videos, which I suppose are the ones posted at YouTube but now removed from there.

The first is the guy shooting apples in the forest.
The second is music and images of a guy with a handgun.

Scroll down the page to the videos:

I just saw it on CNN. My condolences to our Finnish posters.

And a question. (I hope you don't mind) What's the state of the gunlaws in Finland?

Does anybody know about .flv files ?

The following page has various files to do with this guy. In the subdirectory puretut/ is a video Shooting.wmv. That is the guy shooting apples in the forest, same as at Dagbladet.

I don't know how to open .flv, is it a video format?

Here's the page:

Thank you for your support! Very Happy

The police held a press conference. There are now 8 people dead. Amongst the causalities there are 5 male students and 2 female students and the principle. Then the shooter shot himself to head when the police arrived and he is now in critical condition and most likely won't make it.

I wonder how the "survival of the fittest" ideology fits in shooting oneself to head? icon_evil

He worshipped Stalin and Hitler!!! Lol...what sort of intellectually challenged specimens are these Finnish schools breeding! Whilst I may be in total agreement with an iron fisted communist order to remedy the abysmal plight we find ourselves in, I certainly do not subscribe to the ideas of boot licking boss's lackey Hitler, nor would Stalin, for all his fauilts.

The shooter is now dead. It seems he had shot himself in the head, but only died some hours later in hospital.

9 in total have died: 5 boys, 2 girls, 1 middle-aged woman (the school's head teacher) and the shooter himself.

Tragic. It seems to me the world wide the young are resorting to violence more often. Tragic.

Too bad he didn't off himself before shooting anyone else.
