Bomb in Finnish shopping centre - 7 dead and ~80 injured

I think the best so called motive is that he was dumped by his girlfriend recently.

Actually, this was just a rumor. He had no girlfriend.

Stefu, I know. That stinks! I guess we're soon suspects too as we talk about this here. Maybe Supo has already decided to raid my place now. Anyway, I must admit that I was also one who wasted 1 € on Iltalehti. Looks like we can expect plenty of Killuminati and "Internet is dangerous" crap this week when people start to write their debate writings.

Halleluja! MTV3 has the quote correct now. Apparently the police had the right clue, while the media was already talking about racism.

Okay, a more comprehensive update can be expected tomorrow as I get to know more. I'll write a more in-depth post about the possible motives and the current situation in general. I'm now in a such hurry I simply don't have time to respond to your posts, but at least Winston is clearly on the wrong track now.

P.S. I downloaded the whole "Kotikemian forum", so I might get it working properly again so that we can look at the posts.

[Winston]

Heh. It sounds like you would want to control what each of us should think about this Rasbelin.

Agh. 3 o'clock in the morning. Can't think straight (except stupid trivia, as you can witness soon). Need sleep badly.

Wasn't that just what I said?

Well, on a more serious side, the police has given some new information.

* The bomb was intentionally detonated (there were some rumors that it was detonated by accident)

* The police has taken into custody and questioned several people. Some of them were active at the same Internet forums as the bomber.

* The police, however, still mean he acted alone.

* The motive is slowly becoming clear.

* What kind of bomb was used is still not 100% clear.

The "Einstein" -fella had an interesting avatar the last time I checked the Kotikemia-forums (saturday evening).

Yea, I think his avatar was a joke, but I think he's not laughing at it now.

According to Ilta-Sanomat, the one person still in custody is this Einstein-guy, a 17-year old kid. He was the upkeeper of the "home-chemist" forum.

No, not that. But if one says it has to do with capitalism and globalisation, I would more like say you're then unaware of the facts or interpet them in a way that doesn't have any public proof so far.

I just read the police have arrested a 17 year old they think assisted in making the bomb.

The update is delayed until Wednesday because of me. Please understand that I have been very busy indeed.

Well, I had the opportunity to check out that forum before it was shut down. IN my opinion this 'einstein' is completely innocent and can NOT be held responsible in any way. If he will be however, that will mean anything you say can be used against you, and taken out of the context when ever it suits the prosecutors. He had legal forum, he talked legal stuff. I believe this is just a media hype and now they can blame the internet, so that's a good one, and I think police knows how it is and is obligated to interrogate him anyway. They're just talking about stuff he might know about this person, not accusing him. At least that's what I think is happening, media is just twisting, playing games and selling papers.

Why do they talk about the internet so much, as if it is the reason why he was so screwed up in the head, and couldn't of done it without it? Why don't they talk about the money they cut from the mentally ill treatment and put people on the street because they can't afford keeping them inside? They said he had some problems, obviously he was not getting the treatment he needed. Depression for example is not taken seriously enough in here. So why not blaming that one? It's easy to blame music and television and now the new fashion scape goat, the internet.
