Gunman kills 10 at school in Finland, then self:
Add another coward to the yellow flames of hell.
As I’m sure you all know by now there was a school shooting earlier today in Finland. It happened at the Kauhajoki School of Hospitality which in US terms is a vocational college.
22-year-old Matti Juhani Saari stormed the school with guns and explosive devices and opened fire on students who were taking an exam. Before it was all over 10 people were dead. When finally approached by police Saari shot himself in the head. Unfortunately, he only survived for two hours. Another scumbag takes the cowards way out.
Of course, everyone is comparing this to last years shooting at Jokela High School and Pekka-Eric Auvinen. The comparison is quite apt. Saari also had videos on YouTube much like Auvinen…
But in one YouTube clip posted by a 22-year-old “Mr. Saari,” a young man wearing a leather jacket fires several shots in rapid succession with a handgun at what appears to be a shooting range.
The posting was made five days before the shooting and the location was given as Kauhajoki — the same town as Tuesday’s shooting. The posting included a message saying: “Whole life is war and whole life is pain. And you will fight alone in your personal war.”
“Mr. Saari” also posted three other clips of himself firing a handgun in the past three weeks.
Another clip shown by Scandinavian media showed the alleged gunman pointing his gun to the camera and saying “You will die next” before firing four rounds.
And also like Auvinen, Saari was nothing but a lowlife mutant…
Clips from the 1999 Columbine school shootings in Colorado were listed among his favorite videos.
To make matters worse Saari was questioned by police yesterday because of his YouTube clips. Police in Finland didn’t think they had enough to hold him on and even returned his gun to him. Yet people in the US complain that law enforcement reactions to videos like that or threats on MySpace are overblown. In the US he’d at least be in holding right now. That’s no knock on Finland.
And people also complain that somehow their rights are being violated when YouTube pulls a video like this. I’m not blaming YouTube but they need to be more active in taking these kinds of videos seriously and stop giving these troglodytes and mouth breathers who want to commit mass murder a platform and an audience.
No word yet on what his selfish motive was. I’m sure it will come out that he thought he was wronged by society in some way that most rational thinking people will believe is petty. His MySpace offers no clues.
Finnish police say they have found a note at his home but will not make it available just yet.
Just another loser in a long line of losers. Enjoy hell scumbag.
