As you may have heard or
read, there was a school shooting in Finland. Some guy shot 8 people, then tried to become an hero but shot himself in the head like a "player who is new at the game". He almost survived but died of his wounds later on. Good for him.
Some Dutch internet matlocks from the retard site
Geenstijl.nl found some of his
stuff before it got pulled, and it appears he is a gamer too!
Dutch gamer site
Gamekings.tv looked up his nicknames Sturmgeist89 and NaturalSelector89. They found that he was a WoW addict and played a lot of Battlefield 2, espcially Special Ops. Which makes perfect sense, since WoW is all about racism and killing people in Alliance schools..
Apparently he even posted about it on 4chan before doing it, from the
allakhazam forums. Wtf.. He also made a tribute video to Eric Harris & Dylan Klebold, best known for their gay shower scene in
Elephant. He even loves C&C music!
From Gamekings.tv:
This dramatic event will undoubtedly be more ammunition for people like Jack Thompson who will probably go shout again that gamers are walking killing machines.
Germany will probably be the first to use stuff like this to ban more games. Everything takes a little longer to seep through to the UK, so they will probably be none to pleased either, since we have so many choices to play approved
murder simulators.
Youtube has suspended his account, but
Liveleak still has a backup. The guy himself even said:
- And remember this is my war, my idea and my plan. Don't blame anyone else for my actions but myself. Don't blame my parents or my friends. I told no one about my plans and always kept them in my own mind. Don't blame the movies that I watch, the music I listen, the games I play or the books I read.
- You may ask yourselves, why did I do this and what do I want. Well, most of you are too arrogant and narrow minded to understand... Probably you'll say that I'm "mental", "crazy" or "psyco", "criminal" or some other crap like that. The truth is that I'm just an animal, human, individual, dissident.
Yeah, I'm sure they will listen to that. What with the trend of
dissident animals/non-humans and all that. Hopefully they will just focus on the real reasons for why he turned to his actions, instead of blaming media influences, but what are the odds of that? I'd blame it on their national diet of fish and berries. And maybe some exploding Nokia batteries.
There's no chance Jack will draw correlations here.
C'maaaaan
They have video games in Finland?
Seriously dude, I'd say most of the teenage population plays video games, so who's surprised that when a guy shoots up a school--regardless of how fucked up that is--that he plays violent video games.
I love the way people who want to do stuff with no good reasons always say "you wouldn't understand". They're right, because we normally understand things that have reason and logic, rather than ill-thought out violence. I'm glad he's dead and I hope that anyone who has similar ideas turn the guns on themselves before they bother the rest of us.
Just another dickhead with a gun.
That's right.
Vidja games.
