If you've heard about the montreal shooting, but have not heard much of the details then i'll give you some inside info.
The suspect was a teenage guy, young, and went to a school called Dawson, I believe in Montreal. which is in canada. He was a member of a goth site, called vampirefreaks.com. which i am also a member of. he was reported to be wearing some um, black boots and just well, black.
The press and others are blaming vampirefreaks.com for the kid's reason for shooting. It was not his reason for shooting, I'm sure. He shot alot of people, random people. I do believe that one guy died. Which is tragic, yes. But people are blaming the goth community and punks and stuff for alot of things. and instead of being logical and smart and mature ADULTS about these shooting situations, and going into the personal life of the shooter, their blaming a website and a community. (it's the same as blaming HARRY POTTER for multiple things, such as back problems; mean and agressive girls - girls are already like that, fyi - ; and some other shit.)
but the goth community is a bunch of mature people, deep thinkers, and people with controversial (sp?) styles. They are very smart and intelligent people and they get blamed for a lot of stupid things.
anyway, this guy had some serious problems.
but my point is...that...you all should look into addressing this problem with your schools. because if there is a shooting some day, you'll just might be prepared.
also, spread the word that stereo types and generalizations and singling communities out and blaming them for the corrupt world is wrong. and it's what the press and people are doing.

-goths/punks
-metalheads
-blacks
-hip hop community
-whites
-other religions
i feel VERY stongly on this subject. it's very difficult for me to explain exactly what i feel, but if you also feel strongly about this, i totally urge to go to your school or your friends, or reach out to someone who isn't your friend and give your opinion on this matter. it's very important. because a shooting can happen even at your school. at mine, too.
it happened in montreal.
and if you know someone who is going through a tough time, or is like, getting bullied or whatever, tell someone and get that person help. and for yourself too, don't let your emotions and your aggression build up inside, because you don't know you are truly capable of doing until you do it. talk to someone if you need to. don't ever do what this guy did.
thank you, that is all
