    Three dead now, several wounded. The guy actually left a small manifesto and some various other bits of info at this address: http://koti.phnet.fi/pres/a/jokela/ - it's slightly disturbing that I agree with a lot of what he writes. Guy seems like a complete pratt though, one of those types who thinks because they've got a gun that makes them somehow better than unarmed people.

    edit: And a Finn I know in Helsinki says the guy was captured, either because he chickened out or failed to suicide, which was aparently his intention. And no, I don't have sources on that (they'd be in finnish anyway).

    I heard that there are now 7 dead, and about 10 injured. This kind of stuff makes my blood boil ! The shooter has been caught according to the news. If he hates humanity altogether, why did he even try to make the world a better place for anyone else? Apparently he tried suicide, but failed even at that. The Töölö general hospital says that the guy is in critical condition. I am sorry for the parents and students at Jokela High School, and everyone who is somehow related to this case..:sigh: I hope this person gets locked up for the rest of his miserable life, if he survives.:miffed:

    No it's not. It is just that you don't confuse the means with the end, like he did. Ideals are only as good as the process by which they are realised. Not many people seem to understand that.

    Fatal Shooting at School in Finland

    Man on a mission
    In it he said: "death and killing is not a tragedy... Not all human lives are important or worth saving."

    He wrote that he was acting alone and nobody is to blame for his actions. "This is my war: one man's war against humanity, governments and weak-minded masses of the world."
    Makes you wonder how many more are thinking along these lines? Is this just the tip of the iceberg? :worried:

    err Terrorists are blowing themselves up due to issues of interference from western nations. This guy is looking at humanity as a whole and judging it. Two very different topics.:nono:

    This guy certainly takes it to a more personal level, but rest assured that there are many suggestible alienated young people in the Middle East who think the same way. Their hatred is more focused on the West specifically because there is this convenient local anti-Western framework that fits nicely with their psychological issues. The Finnish guy simply had to look a little bit further afield. But many recent Western school shooters proclaim to be motivated by similar sentiments.

    The question i would like to ask these people who go around killing, is 'Why?'

    I just don't understand what goes through peoples minds.

    How long have you got?

    Actually, I'm going to take a shortcut. After the recent American incident I did a psychological formulation on school shooters here. The same story probably applies here.

    Pekka is a terrorist, not all terrorists have the same enemies, motives, etc but the psycho is a terrorist. Family & friends of the fallen should have been allowed to start first, then family & friends of the injured could have continued the torture. If the sikko was still alive after that, then the general public should have been allowed to administer torture. Capital punishment via torture is a much greater deterent than a firing squad or lethal injection.
