The Resume

(June 1989-November 7, 2007)
Born in Tuusula, Finland
Went on a shooting spree at Jokela School Center in his hometown
Killed the principal, the school nurse and six students, then committed suicide

Why he might be annoying:

He was responsible for the worst spree killing in Scandinavian history.
He yelled 'Revolution! Smash everything!' during the attack.
He posted a home-made movie to YouTube announcing the massacre hours before the shooting.
Earlier, he uploaded clips from the Columbine massacre, the Waco siege, the sarin gas attacks in Tokyo, the bombing of Baghdad during the 2003 invasion and Nazi war atrocities.
He said his interests were 'natural selection' and 'hate for humanity.'
He published a manifesto demanding war on 'the weak-minded masses.'

Why he might not be annoying:

He was reportedly bullied in school.
He said he did not want anything to be blamed for the shooting, 'not books, not computer games, not anything.'
Although Finland has the third-highest gun ownership rate in the world, this was the first school shooting since 1989.
