    Disturbing

    Finnish school killer had enough rounds to slaughter hundreds:

    Some more details about the Jokela High School shooting that I found more than disturbing.

    Disturbing item #1.

    According to the police, the man shot some of his victims almost 20 times.

    Disturbing item #2.

    Chief Inspector Tero Haapala said the gunner had written a suicide note bidding farewell to his family.

    “The family brought it to the police,” CI Haapala added.

    The parents are under police protection after receiving threats.

    The police think the man acted alone and that the parents had no knowledge of his intentions.

    They never do, do they?

    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 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.
