Red Lake School Shooter Probably Trained for Maassacre on Specific Video Games

Jeff Weise, the 17-year-old who massacred ten in Red Lake, Minnesota, was a video gamer who may have trained on the violent games to kill. The clues:

Weise called himself “The Angel of Death,” which is the name of a violent, computer-based game.

Weise asked one of his victims, according to student Reggie Graves, “Do you believe in God?” Then he shot him. Belief in God determines whom you target in the aforementioned strategy game.

After Columbine, the FBI and the Secret Service determined that the one common denominator in all of the school shootings studied up to that point, including Columbine, was the perpetrators’ immersion in violent entertainment.

Weise’s detailed planning of the killings is a clear marker for entertainment training for the event. Invariably games like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Vice City help the perpetrator develop killing scenarios and strategies. The killing of the school security guard indicates this.

Further, the randomness of the targets, not based upon any specified enmity against specific students is a clear marker of video game inspiration and training to kill. The aim of the violent games is simply to increase the body count. The identities of the victims are meaningless.

Finally, an editor with the local Bemidji newspaper, The Pioneer, has told Jack Thompson, an attorney in Miami, Florida, who is an expert in school shootings, that Weise was known to be a video gamer. Thompson has already spoken with an FBI Agent on the scene in Bemidji to share with him this information.

**Startlingly, Weise pulled up to his school in his grandfather's squad car. Stealing police car is something you can do and are encouraged to do in all the Grand Theft Auto games.**
