Finnish school massacre

[Deiophobus]

Wow, Finland would be the last place I would expect a school massacre to happen!!! Just shows the universal state of decline...

 

 

 

Why do you say that? They've one before.

[The Observer]

Notice that a lot of these popped up after the Virginia Tech incident?

 

 

 

 

 

Much like the postal shootings of the mid 1990's Cho started a bit of a fad in going to do school shootings. Eventually it will die out (it already is starting to) but for now it is something that is unavoidable.

 

 

 

I know, I find it saddening to hear all of these happening. Especially when one happens, a few more happen. It's a vicious cycle.

[baalboy5]

Not to be off-topic, but can someone search 4chan and see if the shooter made a 'goodbye' thread? I'm just curious

[Giordano]

Eh, the first thought that popped in my head was:

 

 

 

"Ha, it's not in America!"

 

 

 

I'm cruel. :oops:

To obtain a firearms license, an individual must declare a valid reason to own a gun. Acceptable reasons include hunting, sports or hobby shooting, profession related, show or promotion or exhibition, collection or museum, souvenir, and signalling. It is worth noticing that self- or home defence are not considered valid reasons. The applicant must provide evidence supporting the acquisition license application to prove that he or she is actually using firearms for the stated purpose(s). Such proof may consist of written declarations from other license holders as referees, shooting diaries or certificates from a shooting club.[2]

 

 

 

The applicant is also subjected to an extensive background check from police accessible databases and even citations for speeding or DUI can be grounds of not granting the license.

 

The part of the gun law we're interested in, there's some other unrelated stuff too.

 

 

 

Dammit, America needs those laws too. The law seems perfect in Finland (shootings will always happen, but at least guns won't end up in the wrong hands as often). Anyone can get a gun saying it's for self defence. Yet of course you can actually be tried for murder of you kill a robber who didn't attack you, depending on the situation. It's ridiculous.

 

 

 

As for the shooting, I just heard the shooter died. Bull [cabbage]. The kid makes national news and gets to escape punishment. I hate how all these school shooters get away with it. And it just makes models for other shooters. Try to beat the high score for kills, then take your life and go down in the history books without any punishment. I was really hoping this guy was going to live. I wanted him to feel the mental anguish of being in a confined room for the rest of his life.

[RSBDavid]

Crap, thought he misspelt "finish" nvm :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall:

 

 

 

Now I won't be able to hunt deer pretty soon if these idiots don't quit doing stuff like that.

 

 

 

Now some other person is going to attempt the same thing and get busted.

[Lenticular_J]

You misspelled "Finish" btw.

 

Uh. Can I get a "What."?

 

 

 

This is awful. School shootings suck.

[Azvareth]

You misspelled "Finish" btw.

 

 

 

<-- Could a mod edit that? Its been like that for a day and if the OP cared enough he would correct it. -->

 

 

 

Hmm no, you're confusing a country with a goal-line which are two quite different things. 'Finnish' is correct. I fail to see how it's relevant, though.

 

 

 

It's worrying to see this trend developing in a Nordic country. Could just as well have been Sweden since our gun laws are pretty much the same.

[ThurinEthir]

I believe he was trying to make a joke, a terrible joke at that.

 

Well, I hope this trend of school violence stops soon.

I heard there was a post asking about which weapon he should use, but then again:

 

 

 

"/b/ - Random

 

The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood.

 

Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact."

Now there's a /facepalm.

Why do you say that? They've one before.

Two actually.

 

 

 

Here's hoping that the next time Finland gets in the world spotlight, it's because of something good for once.

[blushenka]

Hey, Finland got plenty of spotlight for good stuff...Take the Eurovision song contest for one. : P

 

 

 

Okay, but you're saying two happened before. I only heard of the one that happened a little more than a year ago. What's the other?

 

 

 

Oh and btw, speaking of misspellings, what's misspelled in the topic title is not 'Finnish', but 'massacre' (it's spelled like that). Better correct it.

RANKING UPDATE: Matti Juhani Saari kills ten in Finland.

I don't know if it's sad, or alarming, that these kind of sites pop up even as bad jokes. For all you know, a very unstable person could try and get on the "hiscores" next. The whole concept seems a bit distorted and bizarre to me.

I don't see Eric Harris or Dylan Klebold on that list.

The Competitive Spree Killing Organization generally disqualifies the following from being listed as a spree killing on the Top 40 Killing Sprees:

 

 

 

# Killings perpetrated by more than one individual or with the assistance of another individual.

 

# Killings that are primarily the result of an explosive device, arson or poisoning.

 

# Killings conducted over twenty-four hours apart from one another.

 

# Killings conducted in a war zone.

I don't call that good.

There was one in 1989, I've heard.

[blushenka]

Well, that's way long ago, basically another generation. Most of today's shooters weren't even born then.

Well, I don't think many people have heard of what happened over here, and other than that Finland seems to be known as a very successful nation. And if people don't know, I bore them for a while lecturing them on how great Finland is.

makes me feel sick :(

I agree, that law is far better than the US equivalent.

 

 

 

I'm half-joking, but if anybody wanted a weapon for self defence, wouldn't a tazer be better than a gun?

Well there are instances where a tazer can accidentally shock the user, but in most circumstances I agree a tazer is better

[Lenticular_J]

You'd be wrong in thinking that. A person with a gun knows how dangerous it is. (If they were actually able to buy it, you can't walk in and just go I WANT BOOM BOOM) Tazers are often under...umm...under...augh. I forgot the word. UNDERESTIMATED! Yeah. Seriously. They can paralyze and even kill just as easily, are much easier to get, and much easier to get a license for. Easier to conceal, too.

[Hoobs]

Second in a year.. :?

 

 

 

I found this out on wikipedia, seems these shooters idolize other shooters like the Columbine kids..

[OldJoe]

I hope i don't hear any news about idiots threatening schools in Sweden again. I remember the last shooting in Suomi, some fools over here threatend a couple of schools.

[OldJoe]

Well, guess if i (unfortunately) was right?

 

 

 

Yesterday, a school in Västerås (not so far from Stockholm) was closed in the morning, about 2h after the school started. 08.40 a call was made to 112 (911), the threat was that people in the school were to be shot. 10.15 teachers found a note saying the same things as the earlier phone-call.

 

The school soon closed after that for the day.

 

This school was also threatened last year, during last year school shootings.
