I’m quite active on youtube for almost a year now. I don’t make any videos (anymore) but I do involve myself in discussions now and then. I’ve been a long time subscriber of TheAmazingAtheist and thus witnessed TJ’s assault on social darwinism. I couldn’t agree more with the guy, NS89 was a sub par human. TJ clearly pointed out this kid was sick and would be fully capable of creating a massacre, just like his peers of previous US high school shootings. I could have never guessed he was actually going to do it.

I’ve joined the flame war that followed, raging well through july. I was part of the assault on NS89’s channel, filling his comment section with rational questions and pointed out paradoxes in his statements. Here’s a reaction he posted on one of TAA’s videos.

You know what, I have an ability to civilized discussion… but when Im pushed over the edge with only facing stupid sarcasm and idiotic ignorance, I feel REALLY ANGRY AND PROPABLY HOMICIDAL TOO! I FEEL EXACTLY LIKE THE NIN SONG “BURN”. And all the comments saying ant to be sorry for me, well don’t… just live your own god damn lives if you have one, wake up from “the Matrix”.

He reacted like every other uneducated kid would, so I thought nothing of it. After a while the situation calmed down and I soon forgot about the whole thing.

Until Reuters reported Youtube related news about the Finland school shooting a few days back. I honestly don’t know if I should feel guilty or not. This guy was sick, but maybe we’ve, as a community, pushed him over the edge in the flamewar? I guess we were just hungry for weak narrow minded prey to bash. Of course, the flamewar wasn’t a smart move when you look back on the whole situation. But no one could have known this was going to happen. I guess the whole community has changed after this event. At least, I hope so. I’ve changed.

Nine dead. Damn.
