That's a screwed up kid. I found a link while surfing earlier to an archived message board thread which was kinda scary.

Obviously it just gets too cold up north in the winter and you folks just get stir crazy. So let's pump some more GHG into the atmospere and warm this ball up a bit.

Actually, this kid is starting to sound like a tragedy waiting to happen. I don't think this is particular to Minnesota.

it will be interesting what motives come out from the media. everyone's seen bowling for columbine, i hope it's changed how this will pan out.

that's a VERY small highschool, only 300. i would have thought that smaller schools would be more tightknit, less prone to kids getting lost in the system and then snapping.

I'm thinkin it was a kid who was bullied to the breaking point. and no one gave a crap about him til it was too late.

The kid had all the signs of busting a nut. The real tradgedy is no one did anything about. We all know things like that never happen here.

I for one am glad that videogames were not mentioned once in the article.

Because all the kids have guns and one of them would drop his ass before he did enough damage to get famous?

At my league pistol shot, I find everyone to be very polite.

Yup; it's a fact that an armed society (where virtually everyone is) is a polite one.

The kid sure had issues.

Ha! Oh no it's not.

Ooh, if you're referring to the middle of a terrorist haven that has a few civilians in it, then you win there. But I wasn't, so

Here in Michigan we can go into bars as long as 50% or more of their revenue is derived from the sale of food.
So ummm...ya wanna make my day?

No Sky. I was refering to my society where almost everyone is armed and where almost everyone is impolite, hot headed and arrogant. Still, guns don't come out in anger.

The terrorist fing is just a side issue.

so now there's this flash movie the shooter composed. not that i can explain a child losing it to that degree... the bullying thing seems weird, i read he was 250 pounds. why not just punch them if you are that big?

Me and my big Flabby mouth. I wish this "human" phase of life on earth would hurry up and roll over.
