Do you remember Pekka Eric Auvinen?
In an insane society, cover-ups and scapegoats are commonplace. Mass media and government censorship protecting a life-denying existence controls people to the point of numbness. When someone with a higher vision of what human life could be lashes out, committing an 'unthinkable' act, people are shocked. Every so often, a dissident will communicate his or her message to the world. This is, unfortunately, best achieved through extreme actions. The majority will choose the cop-out causes presented by the media, such as violent video games and insanity, to avoid being pulled out of their "comfortable" lifestyles, because usually the dissident's message will hit home, hard. But for those people dissatisfied with modernity and possess minds capable of higher things than 'Seinfeld' or 'Jerry Springer', the person's intent can be realised.

We know that Pekka-Eric was a misanthropist who admitted to being unhappy. But what could drive a school student to gun down fellow students at his high school? Teenage depression has been on a continual rise for years. Some depressed due to ego-drama and trivial issues (ie. OMG my girlfriend dumped me, my favourite porn magazine got discontinued). But the real underlying cause for most crossing from adolescence to adulthood is the transition into a working member of a dysfunctional society, a world where each town/city is becoming more and more like the next, controlled by corrupt government, capitalist global enterprises and consumerist culture.
