- ufia, on 11/08/2007, -27/+10The shooter wrote "Long live the revolution... revolution against the system" on his Youtube page.
This is one good indication that we need to jail Ron Paul supporters before they go on a kill frenzy.- Jb611, on 11/10/2007, -5/+17that was the stupidest comment I've ever seen on digg.
- xtmno3, on 11/08/2007, -1/+11I wouldn't go that far, but it is really dumb
- ufia, on 11/08/2007, -4/+10You must not have seen many comments on Digg. I've made way more stupid comments in the past. Thanks for playing.
- theOster, on 11/09/2007, -1/+5you should see some of the stuff *i* come up with...
- stopbrorape, on 11/08/2007, -1/+2He lived in Finland.
Finland = no voting for American president.
- Jb611, on 11/10/2007, -5/+17that was the stupidest comment I've ever seen on digg.
- hybridcreation, on 11/08/2007, -1/+10Not very quick, are you?
- Nicksname1, on 11/08/2007, -0/+4(dailyn is having internet problems and he told me to reply to your comments so here it is)
dailyn: "I just moved here from Canada and they say I'm a little slow, ay?"- mrection, on 11/08/2007, -0/+5"ay" is spelled "eh" ... but you're American, so we'll excuse it poor spelling :)
- Nicksname1, on 11/08/2007, -2/+4You actually have a correct way to spell the involuntary sound you retards make at the end of your sentences because everyone else around you does it? Impressive!
- VanillaStarfish, on 11/08/2007, -0/+2No weh
- Nicksname1, on 11/08/2007, -2/+4You actually have a correct way to spell the involuntary sound you retards make at the end of your sentences because everyone else around you does it? Impressive!

- peterjones1957, on 11/09/2007, -1/+53strange how the youtube page says that the video was removed by the user... OBVIOUSLY if this guy was the shooter, he couldnt have removed it himself after he shot himself in the head, so Youtube must have removed it themselves.
- pwner84, on 11/10/2007, -0/+31Myth Busted!!!
- leerayIG88, on 11/08/2007, -0/+2They could have logged in as his account and removed it, the plot thickens!
- DentThat, on 09/23/2008, -0/+1What reason did Youtube remove it? It isn't infringing any copyrights...
damn ***** censorship! Typical big business *****!
- Icerazer, on 11/09/2007, -2/+56nothing worse than shooting yourself in the head and WOUNDING. D'oh!
- chris9902, on 11/10/2007, -2/+28That's epic fail right there.
- drallafi, on 11/08/2007, -1/+1He was braindead for the few hours he still was alive.
Thats the best you can do with .22 in the head so not really a "epic fail".- chris9902, on 11/10/2007, -0/+5He was braindead way before he shot himself.
- cawpin, on 11/08/2007, -1/+1Assassins around the world disagree with you.
- drallafi, on 11/08/2007, -1/+1He was braindead for the few hours he still was alive.
- wgdz, on 11/08/2007, -0/+9well according the the news the shooter later died at the hospital....
- CondoleezzaRice, on 11/08/2007, -2/+3because the doctors maliciously stopped medical treatment
- stevetrojanman, on 11/08/2007, -1/+1I see a malpractice suit coming.
- CondoleezzaRice, on 11/08/2007, -2/+3because the doctors maliciously stopped medical treatment
- FBMGriever, on 11/08/2007, -2/+13That's like failing at failing.
- Rahodeb, on 11/08/2007, -1/+9Does that make it a success?
- chris9902, on 11/09/2007, -0/+8nobody knows. That's how ***** fail it is.
- FatherVic, on 11/09/2007, -2/+2nope, just makes you a bigger asshat
- Rahodeb, on 11/08/2007, -1/+9Does that make it a success?
- jcims, on 11/08/2007, -0/+7It's actually quite a bit more common than you might think. Unless you hit the brain stem, major arteries or other very sensitive area, a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head isn't the quickest way out. I've read stories from police officers that describe suicide attempts that they've witnessed, individuals shooting themselves in the head, being shocked that they aren't dead, and then screaming and writhing in pain, vomiting, etc. Some ultimately die after several hours of this, others live.
- Fragowell, on 11/08/2007, -0/+2Especially when you use a .22
If I'm going to shoot myself in the head, I'm going to make sure it does the job.
- Fragowell, on 11/08/2007, -0/+2Especially when you use a .22

- chris9902, on 11/10/2007, -2/+28That's epic fail right there.

- Jb611, on 11/08/2007, -1/+7The media will respond to it by blaming video games.
- stopbrorape, on 11/08/2007, -0/+3Jack Thompson's source of income are these school massacres.
- TritonX, on 11/08/2007, -0/+3No, it will be techno-industrial music this time. He used a KMFDM track in this video.

it's actually quite pathetic.- xtmno3, on 11/08/2007, -1/+1"KMFDM - Son of a Gun" playing as the music...for anyone interested.
- VanillaStarfish, on 11/08/2007, -0/+2You get a gold star for your forehead.
- cawpin, on 11/08/2007, -0/+4Agreed, pwner84, it's really nothing to look at. Having and holding a gun isn't a threat.

- syxle, on 11/08/2007, -15/+6Another little manchurian candidate.
I bet the people of Scandinavia are willing to sacrifice their rights so this doesn't happen again ;)
All heil the New World Order.- nebion, on 11/08/2007, -0/+6Sacrificing our rights would mean that we would basically be allowing something that occurs maybe once every 20 years dictate how we live our lives every day.
No thanks...but I am worried that some people might actually think that it's necessary.- Navicerts, on 11/08/2007, -1/+2You should be worried, because that's how people will react for the most part.

- hansk, on 11/08/2007, -2/+11this guy should have found himself unfit and eliminated himself first before thinking about doing that to others.
- ronaldinho, on 11/08/2007, -1/+4I just hate people who just because their life sucks tries to brings others (most likely innocent) down with him, *****
- hansk, on 11/09/2007, -0/+1ya thats what i said

- frostbyt, on 11/08/2007, -0/+4"According to Finnish media, there have been four stabbings at schools since 1999. "
Thats the only positive thing in the story.- Velnich, on 11/08/2007, -0/+9That and the fact that Finland's rare gun psycho is now dead.
- jparkinson, on 11/08/2007, -5/+15***** the frequency of these shootings just keeps getting worse
- fwedwic, on 11/08/2007, -1/+2maybe it tells us something about our society
- mustang460, on 11/08/2007, -0/+6frequency isn't changing media coverage is, you just hear about them more, no better way to get ratings than show a tragedy
- fwedwic, on 11/14/2007, -0/+1i know and thats ***** up too haha
- mustang460, on 11/08/2007, -0/+6frequency isn't changing media coverage is, you just hear about them more, no better way to get ratings than show a tragedy
- timewarp424, on 11/08/2007, -0/+4I would love to see some data on this, because to be honest, I don't think it's true. What I do think is going on is the media over represents these stories, and people perceive an increase when there might not be one. That is NOT saying that this wasn't deplorable or should NOT have happened, but when people become deluded about the frequency of an event, we have a moral panic on our hands. It draws attention away from the issues that are way more prevalent and concerning to society (ex. murders in general).
- Navicerts, on 11/08/2007, -0/+3The only reason that may NOT be true is I can't see the media passing these opportunities up in the last 20 years (as long as I have watched news).
- Paroparo, on 11/08/2007, -0/+7The last time this happened in Finland was 1989, and then it only resulted in two fatalities. We're used to thinking that we're a relatively non-***** up society, so this is quite a shock for us.
- fwedwic, on 11/08/2007, -1/+2maybe it tells us something about our society
- ColonelJessup, on 11/12/2007, -9/+7He looks like the average digger with that "Humanity is overrated" t-shirt.......................

- vade79, on 11/08/2007, -1/+3http://xkcd.com/23/ -- so true.
- Seren2399, on 11/12/2007, -9/+5This is what happens when people have no self worth. It is so true if you can't love yourself, you cant love anyone else. Sad.
- OMGWTFROFLMAOx2, on 11/08/2007, -1/+11I love myself every morning before heading off to work.
- Navicerts, on 11/08/2007, -0/+2Before work eh? Your idea has merit.
- BabyWookie, on 11/08/2007, -0/+1Do you wipe the "love" off your chest before you leave?

- blablubbi, on 11/09/2007, -3/+7finland has the smallest criminality rate in europe after norway, I think. so this is pretty unusual there...
- Veritate, on 11/08/2007, -1/+4He also likes first-person shooters. Pharyngula has a blog post with a bunch of his files on it (which were on a website at least until last night)
http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2007/11/school_ ...- Rahodeb, on 11/08/2007, -0/+3Notice how he wrote:
(altough I choosed the school as target, my motives for the attack are political and much much deeper and therefore I don't want this to be called only as "school shooting").
So, this shooting was just a way for him to get attention to whatever jackass cause he was championing. Unfortunately, the more that global media decends on these tragedies, the higher profile they become, and the more we get these depressed little attention whores who see violence as a way to get everyone to pay attention to them.- FatherVic, on 11/09/2007, -1/+3Just goes to show that he only had the small picture. He couldn't think outside of his little world.
- Rahodeb, on 11/08/2007, -0/+3Notice how he wrote:
- pimpbot, on 11/08/2007, -2/+3That has got to be the worst writing I've ever read. And this crap gets published! When the story is this big, and this important, at least get a coherent writer.
- landmonster, on 11/08/2007, -12/+6I bet he used Ubuntu.
- frissy, on 11/12/2007, -2/+9Now nobody can wear that "humanity is overrated" shirt without getting the crap. Same thing has Adolf did to the mustache....

very uncomfortable. my condolences to those involved in any way.- rizzo2008, on 11/08/2007, -0/+4what is this?
- arjie, on 11/08/2007, -1/+54chan, I think.
- mahdaeng, on 11/08/2007, -0/+1A Finnish hero, huh? Sad.
- rizzo2008, on 11/08/2007, -0/+4what is this?
- hybridcreation, on 11/09/2007, -3/+31"Despite having the third-largest per capita ratio of handgun ownership in the world, violent incidents are rare at Finnish schools."
Wait...so...you mean...people can own guns and....not kill each other???
How's that saying go again??? Oh yeah...guns don't kill people...people kill people.- Velnich, on 11/08/2007, -3/+3Than what the excuse for other nations that like their bang bangs, but can't use them properly?
Stupidity?- hybridcreation, on 11/08/2007, -3/+3It has nothing to do with "using them properly"...it has to do with the fact that a ***** of people per capita in Finland own guns, but incidence such as this are still a rarity. Meaning that those that try to say that the amount of people that own guns is linked to the abundance of shooting incidences in places like the US where guns are very prevalent are full of *****.
Clearer?

- phoenixrip, on 11/08/2007, -11/+1Your using finland as an example of a country with no incidents of murder on the same day that 8 kids are shot dead there??
Your a *****- Velnich, on 11/08/2007, -0/+8How long should he wait before the statistics become valid again?
- TheHydrogens, on 11/08/2007, -1/+5Whose a *****? My a *****? Or his a *****?
- Paroparo, on 11/14/2007, -0/+7A week ago I would've said that we Finns are generally a sane and responsible bunch, with barely any inclination towards mass shootings. I suppose it's still true, but a lot less credible.
- johnkelsen, on 11/08/2007, -0/+6Because they had 1 crazy person?
- hybridcreation, on 11/08/2007, -3/+1My comment had no point of reference to this incident other than it was taken from an article on it.
Sorry if "your" too stupid to reason that out.
- Velnich, on 11/08/2007, -3/+3Than what the excuse for other nations that like their bang bangs, but can't use them properly?
- jordshine, on 11/08/2007, -1/+5Great... the modern day psycho-killer is a 'media savant' (-- if Charles Manson were still "active" he'd probably host a pay-per-view). Lets keep demonizing people over dog fights, while we celebritize the massacre artists.
- chronichyjinx, on 11/08/2007, -2/+7***** prick... I wish they kept him alive.
- yaryarhumphump, on 11/12/2007, -3/+2oh noz teh video gamez are spreading /sarcasm

The original deleted video is over at Liveleak along with a couple of others made by the killer- internetcoward, on 11/08/2007, -1/+3That video is retarded, maybe if this kid who made that actually could deal with things on an adult level, rather than making a *****-for-breakfast youtube video making light of the matter, he would get it. So disgraceful.

removed by youtube, featured by liveleak. Hello Dolly, what a wonderful world.
growing up i would always hear, "and he killed himself and all his children", no backstory.
then in other news, we find out its all brain chemistry, humiliation and sSRI's.
evolution is just a bitch ain't it? avoid being naturally selected when possible.

- internetcoward, on 11/08/2007, -0/+4I am sure that is what created this... can you people just take something seriously and not spin it. You know.. Like 9/11... leave thinsg alone, all you see are chances to further your selfishness.

- plundstedt, on 11/08/2007, -9/+4FTA: "Despite having the third-largest per capita ratio of handgun ownership in the world, violent incidents are rare at Finnish schools."
That should read "Because Finland has the third-largest per capita ratio of handgun ownership in the world, violent incidents are rare at Finnish schools"- jfshaughnessy, on 11/08/2007, -1/+5Why would having more guns make their schools safer? Do u think students walk around with rifles to scare away potential shooters? Violent incidents are lower in Finland because Finland is awesome and they actually think violence is a bad thing there. Everybody owns guns there for hunting, not to protect their schools. Furthermore, leave it to do progun folks to try to capitalize on tragedy. My condolences go out to Suomi, the greatest country on earth!
- freeplatypus, on 11/08/2007, -0/+3I concur!
- Paroparo, on 11/08/2007, -0/+5Finland actually has very strict gun laws. Only guards and the like are allowed to carry guns in public, otherwise they can only be carried from place of storage to place of use (home->shooting range etc). It's also necessary to provice a reason when applying for a gun permit, and self-defence is not considered a valid reason.
A vast majority of fire arms in Finland are hunting weapons, or WW2-era personal war booty. Out of all the countries in WW2 wWe had the highest percentage of the population mobilized back then, and almost everyone brought a Russian gun or two home, most of which survive as family heirlooms or in grandpa's attic.
