YouTube Video Warned About School Shooting

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the getting-godwin-out-of-the-way-early dept.

mytrip writes to tell us that CNN is reporting at least eight dead in a Finland school shooting that was apparently planned out in graphic videos posted to YouTube. "YouTube appeared to have removed 89 videos linked to his account, many of them featuring Nazi imagery, shortly after the incident. Finnish media reported someone posted a message two weeks ago on the Web site, warning of a bloodbath at the school. A video posted earlier Wednesday, by 'Sturmgeist89,' was titled 'Jokela High School Massacre - 11/7/2007.' 'Sturmgeist89' identified himself as Auvinen, and said he chose the name 'Sturmgeist' because it means 'storm spirit' in German."

    Society sucks. Kids know they're going to grow up to be corporate serfs, the people who succeed are scumbags, oligarchies rule our governments, every other city block is ghetto, the earth is polluted and overpopulated with stupid people, jobs are boring, technology generally fails, and so on.

    Sometimes they opt out. Suicide is the leading killer of youth. Sometimes you get a smart one who fights back by taking out whatever idiots he can reach. I have empathy for this young man, and possibly for his victims, but blaming him for this is as stupid as blaming YouTube or gun manufacturers. Our society is failing and most of you are in denial.

    Don't forget to ban twitter.

    You are already banned, since like all good trolls and crapflooders your account is at -50 karma or something, so you can only post what, twice a day? And troll as AC, I guess. You do know that negative moderation of AC posts is tied to your IP address, correct? I'm guessing soon you'll have to resort to using open proxies and whatnot.

    You could of course just use your sockpuppet account, but I'm guessing that one is also on the slippery karma slope by now, as expected.

    Sucks to be you :)
