FTFA: Police found his body in Espoo.

I don't think we needed that detail.

Another murderer damned to Helsinki, up to his neck in Espoo.

epoc_tnac		2009-12-31 11:31:20 AM

Happy new year! Unfortunately the gunman will be remembered for all of 5 minutes due to his low body count and the fact that everyone is going to have a big stupid party tonight.

Sweet Chin Music		2009-12-31 11:31:27 AM

That's Helsinki, Sweden.

LewDux		2009-12-31 11:31:42 AM

any other finish farkers?

Flameysauce		2009-12-31 11:34:54 AM

He'll probably be remembered by the Finns because he was an Albanian. I bet they will get some dirty looks the next few days.

MDGeist		2009-12-31 11:35:07 AM

Damn pansies always kill them selves. If you're brave enough to go kill random people you should at least be brave enough to say why after.

Agreed 100%.

dryknife		2009-12-31 11:42:42 AM

Funny, on his way to the mall he was Russian. Now? Himalayan.

SnakeLee		2009-12-31 11:43:04 AM

How is the pun that Fark turns on? I thought it was great, subby

Need Help Soonish		2009-12-31 11:43:37 AM

Yes, but are the 69 Eyes ok???

///yea I know, obscure :/

Gregalope		2009-12-31 11:44:02 AM

Why? Have you looked around lately... the place is SWARMING with people. It's a simple matter of pest control.

aasj		2009-12-31 11:45:31 AM

I hate those murder-suicide dudes. They should kill themselves first and then kill the others...

MuadDib		2009-12-31 11:49:38 AM

Elusive "his ___ is Finnish" joke trifecta now in play.

Story		2009-12-31 11:51:47 AM

Speaking at a news conference, Kaski also refused to discuss Shkupolli's nationality, but Finnish media reported he was an ethnic Albanian from Kosovo.

How do you say "Derkaderka, nothingtoseeherejihad!" in Finnish?

Okay it was good, but really bad

trappedspirit		2009-12-31 11:55:49 AM

If you are going to pull a dick move like this do us all a favor and START WITH turning the gun on yourself. Come on, be creative

Seth'n'Spectrum		2009-12-31 11:57:34 AM

Goddamn it Subby, that was horrible.

That said, mine was somewhat similar.

beoswulf		2009-12-31 11:59:59 AM

Sounds like a nice Finnish name.

Gregalope		2009-12-31 12:02:43 PM

Gregalope: Are you Finnish?

/Obscure?

*Should say "finish"

LewDux		2009-12-31 12:05:16 PM

It might interest you to know I studied a little Finnish in high school

When it's a US shooting spree, there's a newsflash, worried farkers and non-stop updates in the thread.

If it happens somewhere else, it might as well not have happened at all.

Good old double standards.

Seriously.

Thou shalt give equal worth to tragedies that occur in non-English speaking countries as to those that occur in English speaking countries.

Yeah, usually they'll at least mention it on Fark. I'm reading Fark now and not a word... wait, what?

Well, once you take out snarky comments from europeans and the anti-gun crown about americans and their guns, countered by the pro-gun crowd and ensuing gun porn... there usually isn't much left to shooting spree thread.

Jakevol2		2009-12-31 12:23:20 PM

Only 5? Well Espoo has always been the Scrappy Level.

zamboni		2009-12-31 12:24:14 PM

Crown? I'd like an anti-gun crown. Let's try "crowd." Mmmmkay?

Depends where it happens. Rich area? Tragedy.

And god forbid a few houses in California catch fire. Then again, Hurricane Katrina, 1000+ dead? LOLS, HEINEKEN MAN IS FUNNY!

But you see he was protetcting his wife from being raped, his son from being murdered and his stuff from being stolen. He had no other recourse.

A witness in the bathroom said European to him beforehand...

We require more Finnish Farkers to have such a response. What's so hard to understand about that?

Everybody at my workplace is remaining calm so far.

Then again, I'm in Pennsylvania.

Yeah, it's totally weird and incomprehensible that people would be more concerned about trouble that is nearer to their loved ones and friends than trouble that is further away. It always seems to work that way but there is no rational explanation for it.
