4chan is a huge imageboard with millions of posters of varying backgrounds, ideologies, nationalities, and interests, all united under one banner; hatred. As a whole, they hate anything and everything. This theory that there is somehow a huge conspiracy to murder normal folk is ridiculous. These are the people who organize the shaming of the Westboro Church. The ones who fought Scientology. The champions of freedom from oppression. Let's all stop being ignorant. A sick individual did sick things because he was sick. Don't blame knives, games, or a freaking imageboard.

/r9k/ is an oddity to be sure. You have to realize, though, that the majority of it is all in good "fun." There's the occasional sociopath who posts there and then kills a few folks, but there is no "movement" and to assert so is ignorant.

Nope...no rules I am making at all....like I said....simply pointing out your post bringing guns into the debate, then you getting upset when called out on it. I could have ignored it, but your one liner about a gun possibly causing more death is annoying at best and WAY overplayed, so I wanted to know why, and now I do which is why your odd off topic debate is continuing here.
See this clearly shows signs of obsession on the subject by you. There's was no 'debate' until you tried to force me into one by accusing me of an agenda.
I know you just said you are not masking the rules but can i please have your permission anyway to mention the word "gun" in a thread that specifically wasn't written about the subject without you accusing me of an agenda having to be dragged into one of your American gun debate crusades?
Ha! As long as I can have your permission to call you out whenever you make an off topic post about something that has nothing to do with the topic.
Your right...there was no debate in your post.....just a one liner about how if it had been guns more would be dead, but yeah...no agenda or off topic post there at all.
Hmm you're self appointed offtoptic police now as well? Will you be vetting all of my posts or just ones that mention the word gun?
If that is what you would like to think then sure, similar to how you think a gun would have caused more death in this case.

I didn't mean it in that fashion. I just meant that if you post anything, a brigade of crapposters will arrive to tell you why x is garbage and you are garbage for liking x. Also, have you been to /a/ or /tv/? The only thing they DON'T hate are little girls.

So you think less deaths would have been caused if he had been using a gun?

Well its seems so rare these days there's an attack where some kid is hellbent on causing as much death as possible at school that doesn't involve guns and multiple deaths its far from surprising that anyone should be glad that this person was only carrying melee weapons for a change.
Indeed he was white.
My question now is.
When did they take that picture?

It also seems these days that some kid is hellbent on killing and does regardless of what is used...the problem being the kid. If everyone would deal with the real issue, then the killing in general may go away, until then, it has been proven that regardless what we take away the killing does not stop.

Yes schools are a popular place to go crazy and try to kill a bunch of people.
Melee weapon attacks at schools usually are just the result of one person attacking another and almost never result in more than two fatalities. People hardly ever go on a mass killing spree at schools unless they can get their hands on guns.

There is a movement....it is called "BetaUprising". Even the name/hashtag they use suggests a movement. It likely started as a joke, but has ended up being connected to some serious incidents recently. I understand plenty are there all in good fun, just like any other "thing" in this world. I also understand that there are those involved that take things seriously and act on them because they relate to the posters sentiments and want to prove something.

Yes some weird attacks in resulted in deaths of very young children that one country in 2010 at kindergartens. But that was a statistical blip. In one of them 28 4yr olds were stabbed and not a single death.
A few more attacks since then but everyone survived, one of them where 23 very young children were stabbed and no one died.
so yeah Melee weapon attacks at schools usually are just the result of one person attacking another and almost never result in more than two fatalities. People hardly ever go on a mass killing spree at schools unless they can get their hands on guns.
