The Santa Fe High School shooter who killed between eight and ten people has been named as student Dimitrios ‘Dimitri’ Pagourtzis. Pagourtzis, 17, shared chilling photos on his – now removed – Facebook of a ‘Born to Kill’ t-shirt shortly before Friday morning’s massacre.

Plane 'containing 107 passengers' crashes in Havana, Cuba An Instagram account that appears to belong the 11th-grader shows him following multiple gun-related accounts, including ‘sickguns,’ ‘gunspictures’, as well as others called Guns Fanatics, Guns Lovers and Guns Glory. Only three photos were uploaded to it – a toy rifle attached to an arcade video game, a photo of a frog, and a picture of a gun, knife as well as torch lying on a bed. His Facebook bio declared: ‘YouTube is a Comma Kazi. It’s the one with the kamikaze pilot.

Pagourtzis’ Faceook page blasts YouTube – and reveals his plans to join the Marines. They have no record of him on their system A chilling photo of a ‘Born to Kill’ t-shirt uploaded to Pagourtzis’s Facebook feed, which has since been taken down A photo of the long military jacket Pagourtzis is said to have worn to the massacre.

He explained each of the badges in a caption underneath the photo ‘I’ve got a few playlists there.’ It also instructed people on how to pronounce his name – di-MI-tree-oas pag-OR-cheez – and directed people to watch videos there.

The page also appeared to display a photo of the black trench coat work by Pagourtzis during the massacre. It was adorned with various trinkets, which he explained below. He wrote: ‘Duster Hammer and Sickle = Rebellion Rising Sun = Kamikaze Tactics Iron Cross = Bravery Baphomet = Evil Cthulhu = Power.’ Pagourtzis was hailed as a talented football player on the Santa Fe Indians team – but some students said he was bullied A picture from an Instagram account apparently belonging to Pagourtzis, showing a toy rifle at being pointed at a video arcade game Another photo from the Instagram account showing a pistol, knife and torch on a bed The black and white Iron Cross is the highest German military decoration for bravery. It was introduced in 1813, but was redesigned in 1957 after the German government banned the production of Nazi-associated emblems. Some students claimed that Pagourtzis was bullied by students and another teacher.

A note on the Santa Fe Indians football team’s website hailed his ‘huge role’ in a game last October. Pargourtiz also said on the Facebook page that he was planning on joining the military in 2019, but a spokesman said there was no record of him on their files.

After the massacre, police rushed to the trailer park were Pagourtzis lived amid reports it had been booby-trapped with explosives. He is said to have used improvised explosive devices and pipe bombs during the slaughter.

That is why these anticipated, preventable events will be allowed to continue.

=============================================

And like the illegal immigration issue (& other major issues), these things wont stop until the root causes are addressed.

School shootings - Not gun control but rather dealing with mental health issues, no more "diversion" programs, degradation for respect of authority and on and on.

Illegal immigration - Not granting amnesty for those who disrespected our laws and sovereignty, but rather building a wall, enforcing current laws, reigning in "sanctuary" cities/states, e-Verify and on and on.

Gotta get to the root causes.

I say ban violent video games.

I'm a Gamer. You wouldn't believe the numbers of guys I meet in the game sphere that are my age (just turned 61) or older. Tons of vets, too. It's a great way to let off steam after a tough day at work. Of course, I'm retiring next year so it will become a different motivation, I think.

Good start. And ban violent movies too.

So what would you ban? "Star Wars"? "The Longest Day"? "Goldfinger"? "Gone With the Wind"?

All of them violent movies....

Not much thought? They have found explosive devices planted in and around the church - he very thoroughly planned this out - as assuredly as any terrorist would.

This isn’t a “mental illness” - it is an evil problem.

Personally, I think the main undercurrent is the feminized, hate male meme that is crushing what used to be the classic role models of Wayne, Eastwood et al.

How much self loathing and frustration can young men endure? What happened to the positive, idealist young men who went ashore on Iwo Jima, when the average age was 18.

People who want to kill ‘look for ways of doing so’....they will always find something to copy or devise themselves. This kids interest in video games and movies is “normal” for his age group but his mind set was set to kill because he wanted to.

Far less likely to be on antidepressants than on HADD meds for Hyperactivity and Attention Deficit Disorder. Pretty much nowadays folks know better than to give antidepressants to kids. But it doesn't make them HOMICIDAL. It makes them SUICIDAL usually.

"Because idiot leftists and Hollyweird elites have used and abused their rights, we now have the sorry state of affairs where school shootings are ordinary and commonplace."

I don't see the causality there.

These are still not really common place. It's a big country. It has a lot of schools and a lot of students. The probability that this will happen at any particular school is incredibly remote. In a large enough sample, rare things are going to happen. They are still rare.

When we realize there is a difference between the sex's entire makeup.......that young men need to experience the things young men need to ‘feel’ and believe about manhood....rather than mothers and women in general trying to feminize them into something they're not...it's called ‘Sufficating’..

So it should be no surprise when young teens turn to violence to let out that part of them that's being suffocated by our society...from women primarily..

Not much thought with respect to the morality, ethics or sanity of the plan.
