Yeah, it happened near me...in Minnesota. Because it happened nearby, some people were like, "It's really sad about that shooting." Then in the morning it was talked about over the intercom with us. They were all, "If you are being bullied, the councelors are always here."
Heh...watch out, us Minnesotans are thirsting for blood. It's the mating season.

Porter, you suck. :wink:

Dear god....apparently the gunman was a flash artist. I don't know if it's true or not, but I highly doubt newgrounds would lie about this kind of thing.

If they did lie about it, they'd be in a shitload of trouble. This movie kinda gave me a chill.

Another newgrounder wrote:this is actually a good flash, nice blood effects, good movements and fitting sound. shame he had to kill himself cos he was a damn good animator.


Shame he killed himself? WTF? He should of killed himself before he went psycho on his school. Go worship the devil instead.

Oh please. How can the blame lie solely with him? "Find friends" he says. Yeah right. It's not like you can just become friends with people if you were alienated to them before. And "tried to be normal and less gothic, maybe people would like him." Come on. Nothing is that simple. To get down to it, he was driven to do it. It's not like he woke up and decided to shoot up his school one day for no reason.

I can't even imagine how people can be so callous. "next time, just shoot urself." Oh please. It's easy to say shit like this now. But there was probably more than one point in his life when he could have been taken off the course that led him to the point of shooting up the school.

He deserves as much pity for whatever drove him to it as the people he killed.

Why do all the good ones have to be lesbians?

And how many times have you seen this mentioned on TV? Now think back to Columbine. Just compare the situations and think of why this has so little press compared to five years ago.

He doesn't deserve pity.
He deserves to be forgotten.

Why? Because the people around him failed him? Either as teachers, parents, or friends?

Of course he gets some/most of the blame, for not being able to channel his anger properly. But it's not like he didn't do it for a reason. But nobody cares about the reason. Everyone says "What an idiot. What a douchebag. He should have killed himself before he shot up the school." and they don't care about the reasons. But they matter, more than anything else, except helping the survivors cope.

Anyone who murders people like that ought to be looked down upon. I'm betting some of the kids who were killed never even talked to the fag.

Did I say he should be put on a pedestal, or not looked down on? No.

But there you go, calling him a fag. Because other people failed him, as much as he failed himself.
