The media keeps reporting that he grinned and waved, but a facial expression can be easily misinterpreted. This is obviously another way that the media is going to go about demonizing the bastard who did this.I've never been to Red Lake, or any area around there, but I'm disgusted with the person who did this. The fact that he grinned and waved while doing this, is terrible.
Now I do no agree with what the kid did, obviusly. But the whol "grinning and waving" thing is simply a peice of information that SHOULD NOT have been reported on. They just want to make someone else look wrose, because when someone else looks worse, thier ratings get better.

I remember on Have I Got News for You some time ago, there was a report on child soldiers. I can't remember it word-for-word, but it went along these lines:
"The report has said that there is an estimated 300,000 girls and boys under the age of eighteen in possession of a firearm. Luckily most of them are safely locked away in American schools."
Funny? Yep, but still tragically true.

You do realize that there really ARE child soldiers in many African countries, do you not? And when I say child soldier, I really DO mean child soldiers. Anywhere from ages six to seventeen. But that never gets reported on the news. It's definetly not as important as over exagerating the hostile attitude of the American youth.I remember on Have I Got News for You some time ago, there was a report on child soldiers.
Hmm... maybe this deserves a thread of it's own.
Of course now they'll look for a scapegoat. "Oh Marylin Manson told him to" Or more likely "This boy played Halo, there for it brainwashes children to be killers, HALO IS TEH EVUL !!!!" :sweatdrop Wonderful, I get to listen to my hobby demonized some more.

School shootings were happening before Columbine. I would tell yall my theory on why they decided to do something aobut the school shooting issue, but I fear getting banned.
I am not suprised at all. It was a matter of time before something like this happened again. That doesn't feel that I don't feel bad about it, but I am very numb to this kind of stuff these days.
The boy who did this was a diehard Neo-Nazi fanatic , hailing from a Native-American community.The area is one of the poorest reserves where 4 in 10 adults are unemployed and grinding poverty is rife ... it's reasonable to suggest that he turned to extreme violence as a means of shutting himself away from the misery of his home life - not because he was into Marilyn Manson , or violent video games !
I read a book called No Easy Answers, written by a friend of the Columbine gunmen. Basically, his point was that we should examine the underlying causes, not the tragedies themselves, and I agree.
I personally don't think it should be classified entirely as a "school shooting" so much as a rampage that spilled onto school grounds. He started with his grandpa. That suggests he wanted to take out the old man, and once he did, decided he might as well get even with a few choice people who happened to be at school. If he'd known where some of his tormentors were and it'd been after school, I'd bet money he would have simply gone to their houses and started shooting. It's impossible to know exactly what was running through his head, but I'm betting he knew that, since they went to his school and were there at the moment, he should attack the school--the "stronghold of his enemy". I'm assuming blood-lust took over once he arrived.
Obviously, there's plenty of assumptions in this post, but my point is that you should look at what pissed him off in the first place, and remember that it wasn't just people at school that he shot. The media better not do with this what they did with Columbine.

That is horrible. Makes me kind of afraid. The guy who did it, I saw a picture of him in the newspaper. He looked so innocent and happy, like one of those cute cuddly kids.
And he was this guy who dressed all in black, admired Hitler and called himself the "Angel of Death" in German.And on one hand I feel sorry for him, because his father comitted suicide and his mum is in a hospital.
Methinks he was unstable, unhinged. I wish there was a way to help people like this, a more effective and better way than there is now.
I don't understand... Wasn't the kid Native American himself? If so, how can he be a white supremist?
Hypocrisy is cheap.

Wel there are times when people go crazy and decide to kill every living thing they see in front of them. The media tells the suburbanites that its violent video games and rock music.So suburban parents go on a rampage on forcing there kids to listen to pop music and play teletubbies video games.I'm not trying to make a joke but its sad when a person decides to take another human's life.A human that kills other humans just for the blood lust of it is one crazy person.
One big problem is that instead of blaming this on the kid, or the parents, people all too often blame this on the guns they used. I have access to more than half a dozen guns, and I've never taken them out of my home (in America, anyway) with the intent to harm another person with them. Gun Control is a non-issue in these cases, because the people that follow gun control laws don't commit crimes with guns. (When was the last time you saw a street murder with a registered handgun?)
