So it’s 4/20. Yes, that day when all the local pot-heads get excited because “duuude,” *giggle*, “It’s international pot-smoking day. Riiiight on…”
Also today:
2005: Pope Benedict XVI is announced to be John Paul’s successor. Heil Deutschland!
1889: Hitler was born. A bit of violence occurred thereafter.
And the main reason for this update, least any of you forget it:
1999: Two high school seniors decide to go on a rampage at their school, killing 12 students, 1 teacher, and wounding 21 others. Given the amount of ammo and explosives they had, it’s a small wonder so few died.
It should be noted that, although they were obsessed with Hitler and Nazi Germany, the attack was originally planned for the 19th (which is the anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing). But my understanding is one of them couldn’t get one of the guns (a tech nine) until that same day, so it would have to be put off. It’s also fun to note, for those that try to blame certain aspects of society for the incident, that nobody has really been able to prove they liked Marilyn Manson. One of the shooters frequently quoted KMFDM lyrics on his webpage, but that’s about it. And one of them made maps for Doom. Ooooh….
So there you have it: Quoting KMFDM and making FPS maps will turn you into a killer. Hell, I have 2 KMFDM cds, love playing FPSs, and frequent ogrish to boot. Better watch out!
An incident like this will happen again, I guarantee it. The fact that anyone could walk into my school and pull it off speaks to that. It’ll be rural America, and far more than 13 will die.
One more reason to be thankful I’m graduating in a year.
You
know, webmaster, i think i could name more than a few kids off the top
of my head that have a slight possibility to shoot some students and
faculty, and I am proud too say that i may just be one of the reasons
why. Oh yeah, do you know if it was doom 1 or 2 that he made maps for?
you are right. there are a few people i know
that have at least conspirised to shoot up the school. my main question
is why hasn’t someone done it? the people in our school all hate each
other so why have they not done it yet. some one should do it and do it
soon oh and make sure you hit me if i am not the one to do it in the
first place.
who is the anonymous person? they r physcho!
Duffy: Doom I. Actually, they can be found here: http://columbine.free2host.net/eric/doom.htmlsome one should do it and do it soon oh and make sure you hit me if i am not the one to do it in the first place.We’re all so impressed by you.Anyways,
For the most part I don’t think the kids in Troy care enough to do it.
But it only takes one family to move here and change that…There
were two kids (brothers) that lived here a long time ago that I think
had short enough tempers to at least try it. They moved, thankfully.Another
fun thing to think about: These were stupid suburban kids who shot guns
on the weekends (and I’ve seen videos of them shooting… It’s
pathetic). They were strapped with ammo, both had shot guns (a sawed
off and a tactical), one had a semi-auto rifle, and the other had an
automatic pistol. 12 people at lunch break in a school of several
thousand is a very small number given that.The main reason they
didn’t get more was their bombs didn’t work and they panicked. Now,
bear in mind kids in the northwest are generally raised around guns and
know how to shoot. Think about what two kids here who set out solely to
shoot & kill could do…
yeah
and some of the new people come from places that we do not know their
pasts, so for all we know they are just looking for a reason to do it.
like if someone says the wrong thing to them it may set them off. guess
we dont think that far ahead do we. just a thought.
I
still don’t think there’s any causal relationship between heavy metal
fandom or video game playing and violence. Correlative, perhaps (I’m
not sure), but not causal. What about the millions of people who like
aggressive music or violent video games who are perfectly decent
members of society?

Above comment removed as a request of user. It didn’t make much sense anyways.
Yeah, though I’m sure it meant something to me at the time…
I meant no offense to anyone, it really just didn’t make too much
sense. Cancel that, I meant to offend the mormons, my post made about
as much sense as thier cult.
