Sigh....
Another school shooting. In Finland this time.
What is going on with this Eric Harris wannabe?
I can understand some person snapping and losing it but when did a massmurder like that become something planned?
Treated like a game. Let's all break Seung-Hui Cho's high score. Make sure you wear your trench coat! Make sure to leave some videos of yourself with your weapons announcing you are going to kill everyone. Oh. And leave some kind of manifesto, so you can look important. Soon you will be infamous. And dead. That will show them you are a force to be reckoned with.
Well, I guess Klebold and Harris did leave a legacy, no matter how pathetic
Sad enough the finnish cops supposedly talked to this guy the day before the shooting, but they didnt think it was risky enough for them to remove the guy's gun and license.
See, I understand how one can feel alienated and how one can feel disgusted by mankind as a whole. There have been moments where my own sentiments towards mankind were not too rose coloured, so to say. As I said, in some cases, no matter how disturbing, I can find some sympathy for the killer. In some cases I can even say I can see where the killer is coming from, as I even recognize some things in myself; alienation, depression, disappointment. Kids like Jeff Weise and Robert Hawkins who were let down by the people around them as well as the system and just snapped. I can see where it comes from, but I still find it hard to understand how they can get to that point where they willingly inflict the pain they feel inside on others, random innocent strangers. I know Hawkins mentioned in his note that he would be famous, but for some reason I always read that as a cynical remark, "Ok, if I cant leave a positive imprint on the world, than I will leave a negative one. Nontheless, I will leave one." It is a sad story really.
But how can one plan such a thing? Is there not a single moment in the weeks or months of preperation that one stops and thinks that maybe there is another way out?
