Again?

A teenager has killed 9 people, including 5 school pupils, in a shooting rampage, before turning the gun on himself.

Fucking hell. They should really get this gun control issue sorted out in America.

As Bill Hicks said there is no link between people having guns and shooting people with them. and you would be a fool and a communist to think otherwise.

Seriously though its tragic, that these kinds of shootings keep happening.

Maybe its something to do with american culture, or the way teenagers are treated or interact in school.
The musical link is usually complete rubbish in my opinion Iv studied the area's between media messages, the audiences and violence and I'm not convinced there's a link.Of course the media effects but the direct hypodermic theory (a piece of media (eg Childs play and Jaimie Bulger case) made me him do it ect) is flawed.

It cant be a coincindence however that everytime there's a shooting the perpertrator is painted a loner who was into online nazi sects, it must be something to do with how some American youth's feel alienated?Along with a whole range of other reasons including the gun culture in the US.

Yes but it's not only American Youth which feel alienated. So that's not really a valid point.

True but when there's shot guns about too, it can be a leathal combination.

Of course there are many factors as to why things like this happens I was just speculating upon one of the reasons why its happened quite few times in the last ten years.
