The Mind Of A School Shooter

I admit it, I'm one of those people who has train wreck curiosity. I just came across this story of a tragic school shooting that just happened in Finland. 8 innocent human beings are now dead, and the shooter is brain dead after trying to blow his brains out.

The shooter, had a Youtube account, and he left clues to what he represented, and finally to what he was about to do before he actually opened the doors to Jokela High School in Tuusula, Finland and shot the place up.

His Youtube account is suspended. His account name was Sturmgeist87. The 87 probably represented his year of birth. Sturmgeist is German for "storm spirit."

At the time of this writing, the summaries of the videos outside of his last one, can be seen by searching his ID on Youtube.

His last video was taken down completely. From the article:

The YouTube video, entitled "Jokela High School Massacre - 11/7/2007," was posted on Tuesday by a user called Sturmgeist89.

"I am prepared to fight and die for my cause," read a posting by a user of the same name.

"I, as a natural selector, will eliminate all who I see unfit, disgraces of human race and failures of natural selection."


Just great, again we will see TV preachers blaming this on the teachings of evolution, and how taking religion out of school cause children to be conflicted.

All I can say to that is that millions and millions of kids are taught evolution and only a very small percentage of them go out and kill innocent people. I would rather blame his parents for nurturing such a nut.

UPDATE: Apparently this is a copy of his last video made just prior to his shooting spree:


Another UPDATE: Pharyngula's post has even more information including Sturmgeist87's "reasons" for the shootings.

Before Youtube takes everything down here are a few of his other descriptions of videos:

***************************************
There are more, but by now, I think everyone gets the drift. This killer too was fascinated by train wrecks, but he seemed to be lacking one ounce of humanity.

He doesn't mention atheist or religion in anything that I've seen. I mean his personal beliefs that is. But he did have an excellent command of the English language or a real good translation program. I couldn't find many grammatical errors at all.

One thing that is happening though, is the internet seems to be the newest porthole into the mind of very sick puppies.

9 comments:

  1. We cannot listen to the rantings of an insane mind and then conclude that whatever that insane person believes in must be discredited. An insane person may or may not make perfectly logical arguments. That in itself doesn't justify the insane person's actions or behaviour. For example, people often say Hitler was a vegetarian, therefore vegans cannot be OK.

    ReplyDelete
  2. Why are you blaming the parents? For all we know they did their best to control an insane and homicidal child.

    While trying to defend something that idiots would try to blame (in this case evolution), you have decided to lay the blame on someone else, who might be innocent.

    Check this:
    http://gamepolitics.com/2007/02/23/penny-arcade-receives-letter-from-alleged-stepmother-of-killer-teen/

    As an atheist and skeptic you should be comfortable in saying "I don't know why he did what he did, or if it could have been prevented, we don't have all the information yet"

  3. Lex, of course he made good points and real crazy points as well. He was functioning in society.

    Jonny eh, I am jumping to conclusions based on the evidence available to me. This has little to do with me being a rationalist or atheist.
    But this guy didn't just snap. I've known people who I have said to myself that this guy creeps me out and it wouldn't surprise me if one day this person became a serial killer.
    Read Pharyngula's post I linked under the video. He explains why he did it.
    Sure, I might be too brutal on the parents, but I've been watching a lot of Dexter lately:)

  4. The way this is going to cause a bit of a storm in a teacup in the US ("See what teaching evilutionism leads too!") is very reminiscent of the Ismail AX flap (where they tried the pin the VT massacre on Islam).

    This guy was a nut, so was the South Korean. 'Nuff said.

  5. I felt really bad about it afterwards, but honestly, my first reaction on hearing this story was, "They still have guns in Finland?"

    Also, from the sounds of it, he got his influence more from history class than science class. Every time someone talks about killing off the "least fit" I want to scream. Fitness just means how many children you have in your lifetime! Technically an AIDs infected crackhead prostitute with five illegitimate children is more fit than a childless Nobel Prize winner!

    Still, very tragic.

  6. Maybe demons--but atheists probably don't believe in them either.

  7. I dreaded to see my mother the next friday. I thought she would've already concocted some deeply christian explanation devoid of reason. That's how Jehova's witnesses like herself tend to explain the things they don't quite understand.

    She said nothing.

    I guess there are some things so evil even the most die-hard theists can't chalk up to satan/equivalent testing our faith.

    So... The international attention has calmed down, the respectable finnish media are awaiting real news to report and the tabloids are grasping at straws to make dramatic headlines. It's almost been a week.

    The same day the shootings occured two other schools received threats that "they would be next". By sunday both wiseguys had been caught by the the police and they both cried out that they thought it was a good joke.

    Yeah. I'm not exactly proud of my fellow countrymen's sense of humour. In general, around here nothing is sacred when it comes to cracking jokes about concurrent events, but even the most libertarian of us would probably agree that they went too far.

    The parents who have been ever-increasingly ignoring their children for the past couple decades are now suddenly very concerned if their children will be safe at school. Red Cross's crisis hotline has been swamped with phonecalls from concerned parents afraid that some loonie will gun their kids down.

    Having observed the finnnish youth's alcohol consumption both first hand and from statistics I dare say it's not at school whey their children are at danger. I feel that under the watchful eye of a teacher is where they actually are safest.

    Being raised by a Jehova's witness mother and a mostly absent atheist father I have no firsthand experience what normal parents are like but right now it seems to me 'hypocrit' is the word I'm after.

    A PR rep for the company operating the social networking site the gunman had used to publish his manifesto on pretty much summed the wednesday up. He said (liberally translated) "this really tells more about the present state of youth mental healthcare in our country than anything else". I have to agree. Our kids aren't alright.

    The parents' panic will subside eventually and hopefully some of them will realise the ignorant ways they've been treating their children in the years gone by. I just hope that this tragic event would bring attention and permanent improvement to the poor state of our youth's mental health.

  8. Jhuuuskon, hasn't the media blamed lack of religion, lack of faith yet, on the school shootings in Finland?

    If things are wrong with the youth, that is how the US media would explain it.

  9. Our media fortunately has very neutral point of view to most things, including religion.

    Our society is highly secular and religion is considered a very private matter and is to most merely a convenient outlet for templates for the many ceremonies in life. Thus, most only attend church at weddings, funerals or christenings.

    Regarding religion and media, I've always found it weird that during public addresses U.S. politicans refer to god quite a lot. Around here that would be tantamount to a political suicide.
