Level 8 · 3 mo ago'In Finland gun ownership is heavily regulated' Then how did an isolated teenager with documented panic disorder get a lethal weapon? The system clearly was not regulated anywhere near enough.

Level 6 · 3 mo ago> A bitter, public exchange of insults followed. Hmmm. She dumped him for a guy named Steve and they mocked him online. That forum drama pushed him right over the edge lol. ETA: A very public and brutal way to get dumped.

Level 2 · 3 mo agoFact checked that and he really did just rip off Eric Harris. His whole manifesto was basically plagiarized word for word. These pathetic dudes literally never have an original thought.
