Looks like Finland is jumping on the school shooting bandwagon.
http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/europe/11 ... index.html
Earlier today, a student at Jokela High in Tuusula, Finland (north of the capital) came to the school, drew a handgun, and proceeded to kill his principal, seven students, and himself. The scary thing is that he posted a video on Youtube about how he planned to do it a few hours before going to school. I suppose nobody saw the video, or else this could have been averted. He was a twisted, insane neo-fascist who seemed to think that he could make some sort of political statement by murdering his classmates.
Is this ever going to stop? Seriously, there has been such a huge increase in school shootings over the past two years that I can barely believe it. A couple of years ago, I would have reacted with shock at someone shooting up a school. Today when I saw a thread about it on another forum, I barely even batted an eye.
It's getting to the point where I fear going to school simply because so many shootings are taking place. I am almost sure that there will be at least one more in the next month, cause someone will think "Man, that's awesome! I should be a copycat killer!". It happens every time. There is no way to stop this sort of thing from happening though, and that's the worst thing.
Anyway, I suppose that this was just meant as a news post of sorts. Anchorman GramercyRiff99 signing off.

Re: Yet another school shooting, this one in Finland
I cant believe this stuff. People can prevent this kind of thing if they SPEAK UP! There had to be some other signs that must have been noticed by someone.
