He wanted to accelerate a chain reaction to goad people into a race war. All of it was posted in a short amount of time by him deliberately for this event solely for people to react to. it's why he released a manifesto, posted about it on 8 chan, created recent Twitter and FB pages and spammed them with links to things he wanted everyone to comb through thoroughly after his terrorist acts. This cunt wanted to get a reaction out of certain groups for very specific reasons. Just complete nihilistic carnage is so shocking. Jihadists are angry or scared when they kill this guy seemingly barely got his heart rate up after killing 40 innocent people.

Serial killers get immortalized on like true crime podcasts and Nancy Grace now but mass shooters get their face on every 24 hours mainstream news channel for weeks while everyone digs into every event in their life and every opinion they have ever shared while they show a score board comparing your kill count to the ones who inspired you.Įdit: Im not trying to say Columbine was a huge influence on this guy but the complete nihilism of this act I think can be traced back to something started by them and perpetuated by internet culture. Who is the last famous serial killer in America post 2000? What serial killer who was active after them are more famous than the columbine kids? It is crazy that they were able to replace the long standing fascination we all had with serial killers to this new type of killer.
There were video games made about them and the media immortalized them.
The randomness of it and the stories about who they spared and why was this new thing that has obviously hit home with many mentally disturbed individuals where being a mass shooter is cooler or even sexier in their minds than being a serial killer who chops people up. There were mass shootings before them but they were the first ones given some dark mysterious trench coat mafia misunderstood outsider legacy. They entered a new pyscho path archetype into the mass cultural zeitgeist really. I think a lot of the mass shooting culture can be traced back to how the columbine kids were portrayed after they did what they did.
