Newly uncovered photos and online accounts purportedly associated with the Wisconsin teen school shooter suggest a deeply disturbing obsession with other school shooters such as Columbine killer Eric Harris — and even show her wearing a t-shirt of his favorite band.
A now-eerie snapshot of Natalie “Samantha” Rupnow, 15, was posted on her father’s Facebook page and shows her aiming a rifle at a shooting range wearing a shirt from the German industrial rock band KMFDM.
Harris was seen in photos also wearing one of the band’s T-shirts before he and Dylan Klebold went on to murder 13 people in the 1999 Columbine HS massacre.
The band’s acronym name loosely translates to “no pity for the majority.”
As with Harris and Klebold, Rupnow turned the gun on herself and died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after her rampage, which killed another teenage student and teacher at the K-12 Abundant Life Christian School in Madison on Monday.
The online postings and picture of her in the shirt has raised speculation that she may have been inspired by the Columbine massacre — idolizing its fellow teen fiends — and other notorious school shooters. Police say they are still working to uncover her exact motives.
An X account believed to belong to Rupnow included a post shared within minutes of the time she opened fire featuring a person flashing the “OK” sign with their hand, a gesture linked to other school shooters, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
The account also shared video from the 2015 Trollhattan, Sweden, school stabbing attack, and another disturbing post days before the Madison slayings includes a video of somebody committing suicide at a gun range, the outlet writes.
An account on social blogging platform Tumblr also believed to be connected to Rupnow features images of guns and other

This is what a collapsed society looks like.
I heard she recently transferred to the school. Maybe a bit of social media research should be done before admitting new students
The kids will be lining up to get her tattoo on them with a heart. It’s hopeless.
Just from the venue, I’d say it’s likely a shotgun....
It’s what a mentally ill girl looks like.
That’s right, sadly.
Exactly. Just like Audrey from Nashville.
Yes, a mentally disturbed girl. And a very sick subset of our youth:

Put them together and ...
There’s even a Wikipedia page for “Columbian Effect”. An excerpt: “Ralph Larkin examined twelve major school shootings in the US in the following eight years and found that in eight of those, “the shooters made explicit reference to Harris and Klebold.””
It should be a criminal offense for any publisher or producer or reporter to publish, transmit, or otherwise air anything at all about a school shooting or any other “mass shooting” incident. There is scientific evidence that copycat shootings are absolutely caused by the news of such shootings.
These are NOT senseless shootings. There are reasons for these acts and on reason is the desire for fame and publicity.

Too far down the anti-free speech slippery slope.
Her full writeup has been published. A ‘manifesto’ it is NOT:
She was a selfish little pig. Just like so many other leftists. It’s convenient and lazy to label her trans; I don’t believe that to be true. Abused at home? Perhaps.
But simply SELFISH and self-absorbed.
Her therapist should be charged; I find it defined as suspension of disbelief that he knew nothing of her suicidal ideation and fantasies of taking others with her.
Someone knew, or maybe several someones knew, well before the shooting. We have very much become a “if it doesn’t affect me directly, I am not getting involved” society.
This girl was sick and everyone her knew it, except her parents. They apparently didn’t even know who she was. Some people should never have children . If you don’t know how or what love is.
They have to control the narrative.
What type of gun was used in this attack? If it’s a semiautomatic the media makes a big deal out of it. I haven’t heard it mentioned this time.
