I'm amazed that this isn't getting any attention around here. The author of the Anarchis cookbook is taking some responsibility and calling from the book to be removed from print

After latest shooting, murder manual author calls for book to be taken 'immediately' out of print

It was an accessory in the arsenal of Karl Pierson, the student who opened fire last week inside a Colorado high school, leaving one girl in a coma before taking his own life.

“The Anarchist Cookbook,” which Pierson read before his rampage, isn’t a guide to culinary revolution. It’s the original how-to of homicide and mass murder — and sales are still raging, with distribution from the likes of Amazon and Barnes & Noble, even as the work is linked to terrorist acts around the world.

Guess MAYBE his side won — and now wants everyone to settle down and obey?

Whatcha wanna bet he had “Rules For Radicals” in his ‘literary stockpile’ as well?

Good Find.

"Published in 1971, the book has sold more than two million copies and influenced hundreds of malcontents, mischief makers, and killers. Police have linked it to the Croatian radicals who bombed Grand Central Terminal and hijacked a TWA flight in 1976; the Puerto Rican separatists who bombed FBI headquarters in 1981; Thomas Spinks, who led a group that bombed 10 abortion clinics in the 1980s; Timothy McVeigh, who bombed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City in 1995; the Columbine High School shooters of 1999; and the 2005 London public transport bombers.

Just in the last two years, law enforcement has tied the volume to Arizona shooter Jared Loughner, the Boston Marathon bombers, and at least a half dozen alleged terrorists and school shooters."

Did the book teach him how to shoot a shotgun?

I could see it if he built a bomb but what the heck does the book, which has been out for a very long time, have to do with the attempted murders?

Words apparently have meaning.
