Finland School Shooting

Looks like Americans don't have the market entirely cornered for school shootings.

Seven children and a head teacher were killed when a pupil opened fire at a school in southern Finland on Wednesday, hours after he posted a video on YouTube foreshadowing a massacre there.

The 18-year-old, who walked through the corridors of Jokela High School firing into classroom after classroom with a .22-caliber handgun, died later in hospital after shooting himself in the head, his doctor said.

Well, I tried to find the actual video mentioned in this article, but YouTube is pulling every one of Sturmgeist89's videos from its database even as I write this. The weird thing is they can't decide what reason they're going to stick with. The first time I clicked on it, I got a message that said,

This video has been removed due to terms of use violation.

I clicked on it again 30 seconds later and the message said,

This video has been removed by the user.

Since the shooter died in the hospital later the same day, I doubt that he removed it himself. :roll:

He had an interesting collection of videos, not that you can actually watch any of them. I don't know how long this link will be valid...

From what I've read it seemed to be another case of a kid being bullied.
To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead.

It's impossible to be an effective leader of a country when everyone thinks you are stupid.
