Killer MySpace connection?
The cyber school for killers:
According to the article not only were Dillon Cossey and Pekka-Eric Auvinen YouTube buddies but it seems they belonged to the same pro-Columbine groups on MySpace.
Police do not believe this to have been a coincidence. The two youths are thought to have made contact over two MySpace groups, “RIP Eric and Dylan” — a reference to Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, who killed 12 schoolmates at Columbine — and “Natural Selection”.
And people wonder why I think that sites like MySpace and YouTube need to shut down what basically amounts to hate groups.
But like I’ve said before MySpace and YouTube wouldn’t have to if parents just paid better attention to their kids.
Speaking of parents…
Auvinen’s parents are regarded as somewhat bohemian in the small dormitory township of Jokela. His father plays part time in a jazz band and composes his own music; Auvinen’s mother is an activist for the Greens. They are regarded as stalwart members of the community and neighbours describe them as a “normal family”.
I’ll let you draw your own conclusions on that one.

I wonder why people thinks that they canget friends on internet if they cant get them on the real world… as you can see a healthy relationship isnt afraid of showing up in the light… but on the internet you can hide, thats why you can find all this kind of crap here… lots of racist crazy “lonely” etc people. im not saying there isnt good people, its just that here, on the we, people can show their darker side.
