Apparently that school shooting kid submitted two movies to Newgrounds, violent of course:

Pretty weird.

Story on it:
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0323051weise1.html

Some of his reviews on NG:

A country founded on the deaths of millions of Native Americans, a country built on the deaths of innocents. A country forged from a holocaust greater then that of the Jews. Adolf Hitler supposedly killed 6 million innocent Jews in it's death camps and ghettos, Christopher Columbus is responsible for the deaths of over 8 million Native Americans. Which one has his own holiday? On the subject of guns, one day I'll gladly buy my sons (once I have them) assault rifles, pistols, shotguns, rifles, whatever. It's my right as an "American." God bless America, for killing billions of people world wide. Love it or leave it, you've got no choice.

Although we, the passive American public, do not realize it, this is all true. This is Anti-American propaganda, it's the facts. Despite how you label it, I loved the Hitler speech in the backround, 9/11 was Bush's Reichstag. 100,000 Innocent Iraqi's dead since the beginning of the war, is this what they mean by "you must sacrifice one for the good of the many?"

Also, pretty creepy stuff here:

I wonder if the FBI will put all of us Flash animators on an FBI watch list now. :X

Edit: Edited for tact.

 

[Ecrofirt]

yes, it's really funny that the author, who later killed a bunch of people, responded with that.

:rolleyes

 

[RiZ III]

hmm, thats kind of messed up. I mean, I wouldn't have thought anything of it if I didn't know it was made by that kid. Knowing that, its kind of messed. Not knowing that, its kind of cool.

 

[LakeEarth]

Call me when Legendary Frog decides to go on a shooting rampage. THAT would be a suprise.

I wish they taught flash when I was in school

Wow...

And some of the reviewers have got it right. Some idiot in the news is gonna point to his violent expression as an early warning sign, and censorship is gonna gain a little more power....

this reviewer put it best IMO:

Rendering judgement on this piece when it was first submitted, or close to new. This isn't a warning sign. There are thousands of violent flash movies compiled here, and almost all of the authors aren't sociopathic neo-nazis. So, if this DOES get picked up by the news media, look elsewhere. His dad killing himself should have been warning enough the kid needed a friend to talk to, let alone his mom going all veg because of a car crash. So how about you close this window and go talk to his classmates and neighbors about how they never helped him, when he at least got some friendship here.

this reviewer put it best IMO:

Except even I have to agree this is probably a warning sign. I mean, this is just random violence that is not too far off from what happened in real-life. It's one thing to do some violent anime or immature Mario flash involving flashy violence, but this is just so damn eerie.

What a weird kid.

Nothin' but a Native American teenage-stoner-industrialist. I'm on home-bound schooling so I've got a shitload of freetime...

It is eerie how closely his Flash animation parallels what he did. I mean, you don't get any more direct than that.

Random violence,
a suicidal mass-murderer,
and people who blame the media afterwards.

Yep, must be the 21st Century. God bless America.

He shot that poor Klansman, I'm calling the ACLU!

[COCKLES]

Pretty decent flash animator.

 

[MrPing1000]

the clown one was pretty good

 

[Vormund]

Well at least a KKK guy was shot.

 

[Teknopathetic]

As a black man, I honestly think it's pointless to kill KKK members and other staunch racists of the like.







It's much more damaging to impregnate their daughters. Anybody can break the flesh, but to break the spirit?

But the son/daughter will be innocent. Yet your gonna make them live through hell. Why hurt an innocent child like that?

Umm... ok. Was that like a warning message? Hmm dude you need help badly.


Regret's response:

Lol, you obviously can't tell the difference between Fantasy and reality. This cartoon was made for nothing more than Random violence, and believe it or not theres an audience out there that this appeals to. So don't try judging my Mental health based upon a simple animation, capisce?

This is your flash: "Once upon a time, the end".


Regret's response:

Yes indeed.
Much like most of our lives.

God damn, watching "Target Practice" gave me chills -- I wasn't expecting it to be so eerily close to the real thing.

*praying that the media doesn't run with this*

 

[God's Hand]

No offense, but who cares? The kid is dead, he was on anti-depressants, and he was clearly screwed up in the head. People are just so fascinated with the dead.

Count the bullets. Assuming there was only one officer in the police car you see the character kill five people, and assuming he kills another four people with the subsequent four bullets before turning the gun on himself, that makes ten dead.

Come on -- it's not every day you get to see firsthand the creative work of such a destructive murderer, not to mention creative work that so closely relates to the murders in question. It's not as if this kid is some random teen suicide and we're pouring over his Livejournal angst poetry.
