You really can't help yourself, can you?

Nor can you it seems. And yes, it speaks volumes of a society that breeds such utter ignorance. I am astounded that an intellect can hold two such divergent figues in one equation.

The mental health of the shooter will surely be closely studied.

I think he was probably a psychiatric case.

Flags officially at half mast Thursday.

About 450 if I remember right.
On edit: yeah, 460 according to one article.

Wow. That's a relatively small school. So much for the anonymity theories of school violence. He might have personally known everyone he killed.

Yeah, one of the teachers said he had known him for 10 years - like since he was 8. If you get out of the few cities in Finland, it's really small town life.

I think the background to this will become clearer in the next weeks.

No he didn't worship Stalin and Hitler, according to his own words.

In his manifesto the now deceaced murderer tries to motivate his action politically, so we can consider this a political murder.

From what I've gathered, his "revolutionary" misanthropic ideology was a fuzzy mixture of individualistic libertarianism, ecofundamentalism and Nietzschean "darwinism".

He also admired the Columbine mass murderers and copycated, so USA does indeed still export something. Smile
