Gunman Kills Eight, Then Himself, at Omaha Shopping Mall
Looks like the xmas stress is starting early.
I wonder why he didnīt just kill himself, why take other people with him.
"Sharing it about" in the xmas spirit doesnīt really apply in this situation does it.

I like hearing Nebraska in the news, my lovely home state, but not today.............
I went to that mall once.
The news said he had been in institutions before.......I wonder what was going through his head.

Sounds like Grand Theft Auto could be blamed for this one as well.

I'm going to take you seriously on this, just to state that, because I can't tell if you are being serious or not. My apologies if you are joking.
Anyways, I woudn't exactly blame a videogame. The kid's been in wards before apparently, so you can only think of what was actually happening in that (probably) complex mind.

Nah, he just wanted to be famous. So...I see no reason why he should have died in vain.

I was wondering why this thread wasn't posted earlier. Then, I was actually hoping that we had a chance to be a forum that didn't give that dude his "props."

It wasn't particularly serious. Well, it was, but I didn't mean the game exclusively. I was more saying that I think another scapegoat will be found, claiming he was influenced by something, particularly something that the right of the political spectrum object to. Instead of just admitting that if guns weren't so widely available, this would happen far less.

That's true. I don't know why guns are just so available here. I hate that.........
So the kid got fired from his job at McDonalds, and his girlfriend dumped him. He didn't want to be a burden..........

Would his hairstyle be considered "Emo" or "Emo'ish"? Also, it looks like he's wearing lipstick in the pic.

I wouldn't say it fits with that trend. His hair is just......the average of a kid who I guess doesn't fit in much.
He just has bright lips.

I wasn't really going anywhere with that, just blurting.
Chill is correct in a sense, instead of just accepting that the kid was most likely just another nutcase shit-bag, who had insane visions on grandeur, the 'buck' will passed onto violent video games, certain types of music, guns themselves, global warming etc. etc. etc.

HA, sucker.
Wasted one thought and prayer on dead people that could have been used to solve your foreign policy crisis.
