The shit has hit the fan

The other students are remembering Jeff Weise, the teenager who went on a shooting rampage and killed 9 people and himself. They say that there were warning signs long before the murder.

"Weise was different and seemed to delight in the fact," - says Contra Costa Times. Horrors!

The late murderer wore black a lot, used eyeliner, wrote zombie stories, played guitar, was always in the art class drawing the pictures of skeletons, wore trench coat and liked horror movies. He also posted on the web forum of the Libertarian National Socialist Green Party, which probably should be banned for purely esthetic reasons just for this name.

OK, weird kid. Pretty much anyone who expresses serious admiration for Nazis (and he did) is usually a bit weird, and if the person is not even white, usually doubly so. But the rest of it? Don't most of the teenagers do all that every once in a while? Some adults, too.

Just watch school principals banning black clothes, eyeliner, trenchcoats and skeleton drawing all over the country. On one web forum that I frequently visit one poster who had the misfortune to be a high-school goth during the Columbine massacre said that her school banned trenchcoats, fishnet stockings, black clothing, heavy makeup and lots of silver jewelry. Gee, I feel safer already.

I wonder what kind of sinister things people would say about me if I did something really bad and died in the process? "She had a lot of black shirts and used them, and had a lot of eyeliners, which she did not normally use, but most of them were black too. She played role-playing games, and liked violent movies and had quite a few of them. She also had very violent hobbies, like martial arts and target-shooting, and owned quite a lot of knives, although they were all of the kitchen variety. She couldn't stand Islamic fundamentalists, and did not care much for Christian and Jewish fundamentalists either. She really hated communists, and probably hated Illinois nazis as well. She has said some very nasty and threatening things about her country of birth, which is still shaking in its boots from fear. She sometimes ate raw beef and raw fish, and made jokes about eating babies. She was a known childhater who posted in some childhating forums, and has lurked in some other evil forums as well. She drank alcohol, and visited Amsterdam many times in her lifetime, which probably means she was up to no good there..."

Sheesh, now I am scared of me!
