16 dead in German school shooting

How long before they blame the Jews?

[Jos Theelen]

Well, that should keep the Euros from crowing about school shootings for a little while.

Indeed. Instead of that we should discuss gun control. In Europe the countries with the most hunters (and thus the most guns) have these kind of disasters, just like in the US.

Surely you understand the very basic logical fallacy of confusing correlation with causation?

Fixed. Games are the new Jews.

Yes, that's why I wrote "discuss" instead of "forbid".

In his defense, there isn't even a correlation. Sweden has a higher amount of per capita gun ownership, especially what with the entire homeguard situation, yet we don't have these shootings yet.

He's just being an idiot, not making a poorly substantiated argument. There is an excuse for the former.

You have nuts everywhere. What's new?

RIP to those that died...  :-[

Oh, so if a school shooting happens in Europe the reason is that there are "nuts everywhere", if it happens in America it's because of our evil culture and gun laws. I'll make a note of that.

Make a note, draw a map, wathever pleases you. FYI, I never said "only in America" when we had these school shootings in America. You don't even know me and you lump me together with every other "Euro"...

You're quite right when you say I don't know you, I have no idea who you are since you changed your name! >

I knew it. Bild.de:

So he wouldn't have to deal with people, he spent hours in front of the computer. A friend: "He loved shooter games like 'Counterstrike', watched horror movies on the PC. I wouldn't be surprised if he had spent the whole night shooting on the PC, heard of the shooting in America - and then went to the school."

Note how the friend remains conveniently anonymous. Also, Counterstrike has become synonymous in Germany with "superviolent/gory game that rewards people for shooting civilians".

Which is completely true. The freedom fighters clearly have been left with no other option than expressing their anger by blowing things up or taking hostages. There are clearly not enough youth centers in the CS universe, and no attempts to negotiate with them. Problems are always settled with weapons, and the police are seldom satisfied until all so called "terrorists" are dead. There are never any arrests.

I definitely see where they're coming from. It's a deplorable game that corrupts our youth, turning them into mindless americans.

That game is so 1999.

So the post he wrote on the interweb complaining that noone ever noticed his potential was rubbish? "I have guns here, I'm serious. Tomorrow I'll go down to my old school and shoot."

Apparently, the guy announced his plans on a board/in a chat, but ended with: "Don't go to the police, I'm just trolling.":


To which the other side replied: "LOL, sure. Pics or didn't happen."

Is Bernd the German anonymous?

Is Bernd the German anonymous?

If you mean if people know who he is? Yes, after the shooting he went to his dad, showed him the above and they went to the police together.
