Ah crap, not again.

They are removing these videos but this is the idiot.

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 is still alive, they are taking him to Tampere university hospital, tough i doubt he will make it with a 22 in the brain.

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.

Seems like almost a carbon copy of last November's shootings with the .22, Youtube vids and all. Ah crap indeed...

Dammit! The police had him in custody yesterday but they let him go.

Sad thing. I really hope this won't become a tradition. Such a small nation doesn't really need any more of these.

RIP for those who lost their lives, and my condolences for the families who lost their love ones.

If I recall, there was also bullying in Jokela...it does not stop at school though.

Foxtrot,

true. Also I've heard from some friends of mine who are teachers in elementary schools that there is more violence etc. in schools, also aimed against teachers. Maybe there needs to be more discussion in Finland about these things, how to make schools and other workplaces more safer etc.

Finland is a different society compare to ours. Never ask for help. Never say how you feel. Never complain. Don't admit you need other people (it's seen as weakness there). Never say "excuse me" if you need a way. Small talk with a stranger on street is forbidden. etc.

Last thing: A guy with loose screw will always get a gun. No law, no legislation, no paragraph, no line, nothing in this world can stop him.
