I always wonder, what kind of bastard takes down others with him when he goes commit suicide.
too bad he managed to kill himself, something I dont grant him is this kind of escape.

He walked in to an college exam, shot at the 20 people there and set the class on fire. He then fired others in the school, atlest 9 dead and numerous wounded at this time.

Nothing is going to be solved by throwing our hands in the air and boiling it
down to "there just stupid!" or other such rot.

The problem is minute by percentage of the population measurements
compared to other hazards, but it is one that the public show particular
concern for.

More drastic mental health checking, firearms searches and other obvious
quick-fix solutions may reduce the risk, but will never eliminate it. What they
will do for sure is cost money and perhaps restrict civil liberties.

It seams that in this case a more rigorous application of the current laws
and procedures may have helped reduce the risk weeks before and (without
having a good knowledge of Finnish law) I would expect that that is the wisest
course to follow in the short term.

Longer term social and wide-ranging legal change is another, far more
complex, matter.

Sometimes this happens..because people are bullied so much they can't take it anymore. They feel like fighting back, bringing a weapon..which is a big no no. And it is true, sometimes telling a teacher is not enough and you will still be bullied.

Same for me, I am bullied because I am deaf in my right ear and hard of hearing in the left. But I deal with it, I have a bunch of friends, and a bunch of *******s that no one likes. They think that me/others being deaf is funny, so might as well punch n kick me until blood comes out or call me a couple of more names. Yep, been dealing with it for half of my life, it's been pathetic, but still I haven't brought a weapon to school and blasted someone.
