I, as a natural selector, will eliminate all who I see unfit, disgraces of human race and failures of natural selection.

Smart move shooting himself in the head.

It’s the guns fault. No guns equal no crime, right?

He used a 22cal “assault pistol” obviously. Did the gun have a bayonete lug, that’s the real question.

Why does this only happen in America?

More gun laws will fix the problem.

[OSHA]

We must rise against the enslaving, corrupted and totalitarian regimes and overthrow the tyrants, gangsters and the rule of idiocracy

Where do 7 high school students fit into this list?

No country has a monopoly on douchebag kooks. They pop up all over.

We need a global campaign to encourage kooks to kill themselves, by themselves. Tie it into global warming somehow. Nuts generally buy into that crap wholeheartedly.

>>They had videos of him shooting apples, on YouTube, that were pulled off a short while ago.<<

So, like with the britney video, I have to go to limewire...

The brave little tyrant took advantage of shooting unarmed people in a school. He's really a coward and a bully. Too bad the .22 in the head didn't do the job. Infect him with cholera and leave him locked in a cell to enjoy a miserable end.

[weegee]

There is an industry ready to feed his ego and god complex. He’s “smarter” than all of those around him.

[Myrddin]

Why does this only happen in America?

Did you flunk geography? This happened in Finland.

[dead]

Too bad the .22 in the head didn't do the job.

It did, the bullet just took a while to find the brain in his head.

He's pining for the fjords.

Communism? Anarchism?

Maybe he watched too much Wagner.

[The KG9 Kid]

He was being ironic.

I worked for a Finnish company and took 4 trips to Finland during my employment. They are the most nonconfrontational folks I have ever worked with. Nobody wanted to lead just a bunch of fence sitters until there was consensus.

I rightly assumed their precarious position between the west and Russia, WW2 experience and their history of fighting for their independence from Sweden and Russia was part of the reason for their behavior. This was confirmed by a few of my Finnish coworkers who thought it funny I even noticed.

All were wonderful people to work with just challenging for an American who is used to just doing whatever it takes to get the job done.

Finland is an absolutely gorgeous country.

yes..Hunting is really huge in finland, pretty much third of population have been hunting at some point. kind of tradition. Another relevant thing is the Weapons Cache case after WWII (a lot of guns were hidden around the country in preparation for a possible russian invasion. This may have been one reason why Stalin did not attack again in 1945-48).

Weapons_cache_case
Following the Moscow Armistice, two officers in Finnish Military HQ, Colonel Valo Nihtilä and Lieutenant Colonel Usko Haahti, started planning countermeasures against a possible Soviet occupation of the country. They came up with the idea of decentralized storing of light infantry weapons, so that in case of occupation, an immediate guerilla war could be launched.

“Yes, once again more of these symptom hiding medications playing a part in mass-killing.”

Yeah, I saw the videos. Like a scene from Quadrophenia.

I’m sort of split on that issue. if we took a bunch of “normal” people and gave them Prozac and some turned into psycho killers, maybe I’d see a cause/effect. But as it is, there must be something wrong or off or needing repair to get on the meds, and that sample of people by definition is not “normal”. it’s like assuming blood pressure medicine causes stroke because so many people on those meds have strokes, compared to people who don’t take them.

[DBrow]

“Where do 7 high school students fit into this list?”

I assume a rhetorical question.

I think he was clinically ill and used that as a justification for his insanity.

[Diplomat]

At least with his posting to YouTube and MySpace, we are able to get some sort of picture as to why he did this.

It sure would be nice to have a Cho’s manifesto. Bet he has similar motives as this. Though I always suspected that the real reason NBC won’t release the documents is because of the level of anti-Christian hatred expressed by Cho therein. Plus, the likelyhood that his writings reflect a lot of the popular culture, what the MSM is constantly harping on, and the anti-American teachings that are pervasive throughout what we call “higher learning” these days.

The above is just the opinion of this author, nothing more.

[Sherman Logan]

His agenda was to kill all people except for the top 3 percent of the “most intelligent people” who, he felt, were the only ones who deserved to live.

No wonder he shot himself. Too bad he didn't get mixed up and do that part first.

[Red6]

Did you flunk in common sense? It’s called sarcasm.

There have been many school shootings in other countries. In fact the school shooting with the most dead until Virginia Tech was Erfurt, Germany. The criminal/terrorist incident that claimed the most lives at a school was at Beslan Russia, with 386 dead. That’s more than 10 times what was killed at Virginia Tech. Yet in the US you have TV talk show hosts on MSNBC asking rhetorical questions like, “Why is it only in the US that we have such shootings happen?” You have Germans watching Bowling for Columbine and thinking that this is an “American unique problem” (Another thing the US media touted erroneously).

I am ready to die for a cause I know is right, just and true... even if I would lose or the battle would be only remembered as evil... I will rather fight and die than live a long and unhappy life.

And yet the wussy went after unarmed and unprepared kids at school. And then to shoot himself in the head! These wackos are all chickens.

Oh. And his diatribe sounds like it is stratight of the the DUmmie pages.
