Great, here comes the witch hunt again. Since the douche in Montreal that did the shootings over the weekend was sporting a mohawk, I suppose that means they're once again going to come after Sascha K. of KMFDM (industrial-metal) to try to blame him for inspiring stupid kids to go kill people.
What sort of music d'you suppose Charles Manson listened to? What about John Wayne Gayce? The Unabomber? BTK? The Baseline Killer (assuming the one they've caught recently is actually him)? Call me weird, but I consider serial killers far more a danger than some random psycho that gets a bug up his butt to go on a whiskey-fueled shooting spree in a school. After all, it takes 'em a lot longer to nab a serial killer than a raving lunatic that's gone postal - weeks, months, sometimes years - and the resultant body count is just as high, if not higher.
Not that I condone violent psychopaths' actions, but at least when a nutjob goes shooting up a public place, 9 times outta 10 they have the decency to blow their own head off so we can all be spared from having to endure several months/years of criminal trial details on the headline of every friggin' news report ... only to have 'em given a life sentence to a cozy cell with 24/7 security, free meals/health/dental/cable TV, and no responsibility thereafter.
Oh, and of course there was heavy mention of the site vampirefreaks.com, repeatedly brought up time and time again as though it had some sort of causal significance in the matter. Okay, so some other kids on the site previously were convicted of a triple homicide. But, y'know, they probably were avid fans of, say, Mountain Dew, as well. Mayhaps the excessive intake of caffeine affected their judgement, inspiring violent behavior? Beware anyone you see tipping back a can or, worse yet, a 20-ouncer of Mountain Dew! They're a ticking time bomb!
I, too, have been a fan of Megadeth for years, I like an occasional bit of Jack Daniels, and I've been helping run a goth/industrial webste for years. Does that make me a potential shooting rampage participant? I don't own anything more dangerous than a friggin' single-shot BB gun that I keep in my drawer to scare off coyotes that sometimes wander into our park at night.
And, for the record, three weapons is not an "ARSENAL." Three of EACH (pistol, rifle, shotgun) would be a bit closer to a "stash," but really, any of us who know someone who collects firearms as a hobby knows that three guns ain't diddly. Your average American gun nut has, what, ten or twenty different firearms of various size, type, caliber, etc. at any given time in their house...?
mansonoz knows this.
