I read this earlier, Ric. My condolences to all. However, I do not think it's a reflection of Finland. There are disturbed people everywhere. I can't even imagine how many pages a similar list would occupy for the US.

+1.

Finland does not have a monopoly on maniacs.

+2 Ric, it's not that Finland sucks it is the preponderance of idiocy and craziness has grown along with the population.

Thanks dudes,

What the f**k is going on.

I have done my shooting in the army (8 months) and it sucked.

My dad did 4 years in the war against the Russians, the real shit!

What, what, what?

Did plenty of my own in the Air Force as well (4 yrs worth), don't know why so many want to turn crazy and do these things.

A lot of them do it for the fame these days.

I just heard about an unrelated (to guns) but equally horrific and senseless tragedy that happened in Germany yesterday. This guy had an argument with his wife and then told her he was going out to kill himself. He got in his car and managed to start driving the wrong way down the A7 Autobahn. Rather than just crash into a bridge, he crashed head on into another car which contained a father and his two little kids. They didn't have a f***ing chance.

Its a sad world we live in, in 1996 Thomas Hamilton shot and killed 16 primary kids and their teacher at Dunblane primary school only about 10 miles from me. My heart goes out to all those affected by this and other recent cowardly acts, I dont think any sane person can ever understand why someone would do these things.

My mother and stepfather live in Savonlinna and are very concerned about this seemingly developing trend. So am I.

From the couple of times that I visited Finland, I remember it being an almost ideal place to live - people are extremely polite, it is infinitely cleaner than New York City and so forth. From the little that I know of the Finnish customs, it would seem like Finland is the last place something like this would happen. The one theory that I am sort of pondering is - and I'm not sure if all of these shooters are immigrants - but if yes, maybe the somewhat exclusionary customs towards outsiders tends to isolate these people with murderous tendencies and turn them into proper psychos before anyone can notice. It is just a theory and at any rate is by no means an excuse for any of the awful things that have happened.

You should see our city, every night there are at least 6 shooting deaths or more. The news is always a body count.
