Revision as of 00:00, December 15, 2009
Recent increases in tragic mass-murders perpetrated by young individuals have prompted questions about their rationale for doing so. Below is collected evidence that their motives have been overwhelmingly atheistic or driven by hatred of God.
| Year | Name(s) | Education | Killed | Wounded | Beliefs | Liberal response |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2009 | Tim Kretschmer | Germany public school | 15 + himself[1] | several others | wore all black, indicative of anti-Christianity | denial of significance of all-black clothing by a teenager; Europe calls for more gun control; liberal media promotes falsehood: "We'll never know why they kill."[5] |
| 2008 | Stephen Kazmierczak | Northern Illinois University | 5 + himself | 16 | Fan of Nietzsche's "The Antichrist," obsessed with self-injury, was a "cutter" in public high school, wore all black to carry out his massacre, and was still a public school student at age 27 | Feigned shock at the fact that the gunman didn't "fit" the typical mold of a killer, when in fact the gunman wore all black and was taught at a public school. |
| 2007 | Robert Hawkins | Papillion-La Vista public high school | 8 + himself | 5 | Targeted Christmas shoppers; wore black; "I can't take this meaningless existence anymore"[2] Told a therapist that "he is not sure if there is a God or life after death and that when he dies, he'll probably go to hell." Told social workers he was satanic and acknowledged that he often acted before thinking of the consequences. [3] | Avoided suggesting gun control lest Democrats lose West Virginia and Wisconsin in 2008 presidential election |
| 2007 | Pekka-Eric Auvinen | Jokela High School public high school (Finland) | 8 + himself | About 12 | Atheist, "I, as a natural selector, will eliminate all who I see unfit." | Finland already had gun control |
| 2007 | Seung-Hui Cho | Westfield public high school (VA), then Virgina Tech public university | 32 + himself | 25 | "Ismail Ax" suggested Muslim beliefs, felt "Jesus was crucifying me." | Poem comparing it to environmental harm[4][5] |
| 2006 | ||||||
| 2002 | Robert Steinhäuser | Erfurt public school (Germany) | 16 + himself | Wore black entirely, literally from head to toe; stopped only when a teacher pulled off his black mask | German gun control already strict, demands for limitations on computer games | |
| 1999 | Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold | Columbine public high school (CO) | 13 + themselves | 23 | Atheistic, singled out a victim who believed in God. | Demand gun control, causing Al Gore to lose West Virginia, Tennessee and Arkansas in 2000 presidential election |
| 1998 | Mitchell Johnson and Andrew Golden | Westside Middle School | 5 | 10 | Mitchell Johnson, the older of the two, was obsessed with rap lyrics like "coming to school and killing all the kids."[6] | Liberals blame the guns rather than the killer's obsession with rap music. Johnson is released at age 21 but is later arrested for new crimes. |
| 1997 | Michael Carneal | Heath public high school (KY) | 3 | 5 | Murdered girls as they prayed in a prayer group | Under-publicized due to anti-Christian nature |
| 1989 | Marc Lépine, at the École Polytechnique de Montréal | Collège d'enseignement général et professionnel, (College of General and Vocational Education) | 14 + himself | 14[7] | His religious views were unpublicized but he was raised in a home with an immigrant Muslim father who was allegedly highly critical of the feminist view of women's role in society; Marc's mother was an ex-nun; and his sister had allegedly committed suicide[8]
His suicide note reflected anger towards feminists: "For I have decided to send Ad Patres the feminists who have ruined my life...the feminists always have a talent for enraging me...They want to retain the advantages of being women...while trying to grab those of the men...They are so opportunistic that they neglect to profit from the knowledge accumulated by men throughout the ages. They always try to misrepresent them every time they can."[9] |
Ignore the personal background of the killer and instead use the massacre to push for stricter gun control and more laws concerning violence against women, and establish in Canada a National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. |
