    Failure to ignite

    Police Probe YouTube School Gunman’s Suicide Note:

    The article only briefly mentions the suicide note but doesn’t divulge its contents. However, I really want to talk about something else.

    It seems that not only was Pekka-Eric Auvinen a failure in life, it seems that he was a failure in his plans as well.

    The killer also tried to start a fire, dousing the floor and walls of the second floor of the school building in a flammable liquid, but failed to ignite it, Haapala said.

    Reminds me of two other failures who tried to blow up their school with propane tanks, but the tanks failed to detonate. Just like his heroes, Pekka-Eric Auvinen is a failure in every sense of the word.

  • The Myth Spreads Again

    The Myth Spreads Again

    Finnish school shooter was bullied:

    It was only a matter of time before they trotted “the excuse” out.

    The Finnish teenager who killed eight people in a high school shooting was a bullied social outcast but appears to have picked his victims randomly, a senior police official said Thursday.

    Police spokesman Goran Wennqvist told reporters the gunman, identified as 18-year-old Pekka-Eric Auvinen, left a suicide note, “saying goodbye to his family and a message … indicating his will against society.”

    Well, when you’re a mutant loser who worships at the altar of cowards, you kind of invite trouble on yourself. It’s almost like these kids become mutants first, then almost beg to be bullied so they can somehow emulate their cowardly heroes. Except for the fact that scumbags Harris and Klebold weren’t bullied.

    Even if Auvinen was bullied, just like his cowardly heroes, he picked his victims at random.

    Witnesses described a scene of mayhem in the leafy lakeside community, in which the assailant scoured the school for victims while shouting “Revolution!”

    There is no revolution. The man is not holding you back. The only person holding this assclown back was himself.

  • Finnish school shooter dead

    Finnish school shooter dead

    Finnish Student Shoots Himself After Shooting Rampage That Killed 7 Other Students, 1 Teacher:

    Pekka-Eric Auvinen, the gunman at the Jokela High School shooting in Finland, has died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

    The murderer, named by police as Pekka-Eric Auvinen, then shot himself in the head and died in a hospital Wednesday night. He killed eight people, including his headteacher, after moving from classroom to classroom and spraying them with gunfire at the secondary he attended in Tuusula, a small town north of Helsinki.

    Just another weak coward in a too long line of cowards. I was hoping for once that one of these little cretins would be brought to justice. I hope his last hours were more painful than the pain he inflicted.

    Once again, the flames of hell burn a little more yellow tonight.

  • Update from Finland

    Update from Finland

    7 die in ‘YouTube plan’ shooting:

    Now reports are coming in that there are seven dead from the school shooting in Finland at the Jokela School Centre.

    There was also a video on his YouTube profile entitled “Jokela High School Massacre – 11/7/2007.” that escaped my notice and now the YouTube profile has been pulled.

    And the gunman has been identified as Pekka-Eric Auvinen.

    Seven dead in school shooting ‘predicted’ in YouTube video:

    One of his victims was the school principal, but it is not known if the principal has survived or not.

  • School Shooting in Finland

    School Shooting in Finland

    BREAKING NEWS: At least one dead in school shooting in Jokela, near Helsinki; police confirm gunman caught:

    As I’m sure you’ve heard by now, there has been a school shooting at the Jokela School Centre in Tuusula, Finland, which is just north of Helsinki.

    The article states that one person was killed, 3 more were injured, and that the gunman has been captured.

    The gunman is believed to be an 18-year-old student of the school.

    Tuomas Hulkkonen, a member of the graduating class of the upper secondary school, says that he has known the gunman for ten years since the lower grades. Hulkkonen says that in recent days he had started acting strange, drawing pictures involving firearms. When asked about it, he said that he was joking. He also said that the suspected gunman had shooting as a hobby.

    No motive has been discussed as of yet, but the shooter’s alleged YouTube Page paints a disturbing picture.

  • Castillo gets trial date

    Castillo gets trial date

    Date set in Orange High shooting trial:

    You remember Alvaro Rafael Castillo, don’t you? He’s the nut case who shot and killed his father while his father slept, and then went to Orange High School in North Carolina and shot the place up.

    Luckily, only two students were injured. He is also a mutant of the highest order. Not only did he have an obsession with Columbine, but he also e-mailed Columbine principal Frank DeAngelis shortly before going on his spree.

    Anyway, he was in court yesterday to receive the date of his trial, which is set for May 5, 2008. And he did this to piss somebody off.

    After Morgan agreed to the date, Castillo smiled and tossed a slight wave over his shoulders to the courtroom before being led out of the back of the building to a sheriff’s car.

    It pissed me off anyway. People who are on trial for murder should not smile ever.

  • Asa Coon surveillance footage released

    Asa Coon surveillance footage released

    Cleveland Police Release School Shooting Video:

    Cleveland police released the surveillance footage of Asa Coon inside SuccessTech Academy going on his shooting rampage. The video doesn’t show much except for Coon going through the hallways and police arriving on the scene. There is no footage of Coon shooting or taking his own life.

    However, if you’ve seen the photo of Coon after his suicide, he looks like a 12-year-old boy. But in the picture I’ve posted above, you see what he really is. An angry gun-toting selfish homicidal maniac bent on taking lives because of his own inadequacies.

  • Dillon Cossey admits to plot

    Dillon Cossey admits to plot

    Teen Confesses To Columbine-Style Attack Plot:

    14-year-old Dillon Cossey admitted to plotting an attack against Plymouth-Whitemarsh High School in court yesterday. He could be held in juvenile detention for as long as seven years.

    The judge who he appeared before had some words for his parents as well…

    Dillon Cossey will receive regular evaluations by the Judge Paul Tressler.

    “I’m going to make it clear to you and your parents, if you get to the point where you’re ready to get home, but they’re not worthy of having you, I’ll send you somewhere else” such as to a relative or foster home, Tressler told Cossey.

    Cossey’s parents are facing charges of helping him amass his weapons cache.

    It also seems that Cossey was a mutant of the highest order…

    The District Attorney said the teen idolized the two teens in the Columbine shooting, going so far as to nickname one of his own guns “Reb” after Eric Harris.

    All of this going in under a roof where he was allegedly homeschooled.

  • Mitchell Johnson indicted

    Mitchell Johnson indicted

    FAYETTEVILLE : Johnson indicted on gun charge:

    Jonesboro gunman Mitchell Johnson was indicted yesterday on federal weapons charges. Johnson was stopped on New Year’s Day and found to be in possession of a 9mm handgun. He’s looking at 10 years in prison and a $250K fine. He only spent 7 years locked up for the Jonesboro shootings.

    Johnson is out on bond and his court date is scheduled for December 3rd.

    10 years isn’t even close to what he should be receiving for the lives he took.

  • Empty holsters and empty minds

    Empty holsters and empty minds

    Students Strap On Empty Holsters to Protest Gun Restrictions on Campus:

    College students across the country have been strapping empty holsters around their waists this week to protest laws that prohibit concealed weapons on campus, citing concerns over campus shootings.

    “People who would otherwise be able to defend themselves are left defenseless when on campus,” said Ethan Bratt, a graduate student wearing an empty holster this week on the campus of Seattle Pacific University.

    Yeah, that’s a great idea, Honcho. So instead of one gunman firing, we can have several, thereby more than likely increasing the original body count.

    I’m all for 2nd amendment rights, but you campus tough guys call me back after you’ve had military or law enforcement training on how to use your toys.
