Based on media reports, this appears to be the person. Had to pull it out of Google cache since the current page wasn't loading....

original link doesn't seem to work; it's the second link on this page -- use the cache:

1. Can you post the link with following the directinos in the HTML...

...lookup table (there's a link to it just above the subject line- it's the first syntax example it shows you)

It's an ungainly URL to be sure and I can't bring it up clicking on it- or it doesn't appear to bring up what I believe it will, anyway.

Thanks!

2. yeah, it was hard to point to the site....

google "Kimveer" -- it's the second link of three given, use the "cached" option

3. He was saying that he was going to do something like this

I know people exaggerate a lot online, but still...someone should have looked in on a guy who said he wanted to live fast, die young, and leave a mangled corpse. Among the MANY other things that I have seen just in general news stories.

4. He also says his goal for the year is to stay alive.

Not much luck with that one. Too bad he had to take people with him - why do they do that?

5. I think this is a page to the user you are speaking of.

The comments on some of the pictures appear to support that this was the person in question. Then again, maybe not.

here (TinyURL.com finally tames it!)

A romantic depiction of violence: Check
Delusions of persecution: Check
Fascination with guns as a way to "settle the score" as opposed to something challenging like, say, thinking: Check

Ouch, that fits alot of Freepers too.

6. Any bets on how fast the media blames this on the music he listened to?

Although as a metal fan myself, i'll have to say the dude had pretty shitty taste in music.

Another bet to take is to see whether the media blames music or video games first.

It's sad. The dude was obviously in need of serious help, and you know all you are going to hear is some re-hashed PMRC crap.

7. I remember in the early 80's when so many things got blamed on D&D

It's garbage in, garbage out. The music, the video games, the culture, even the firearms don't twist a person into a monster.

But if you've a monsterous heart, they will only exacerbate your problems.
