Hm. I can't help but conclude that some of you have your blinders on. The story is not the lead on www.guardian.co.uk, though it is on www.msnbc.com, and there is full coverage on www.cnn.com.

Furthermore, you don't even seem to be saying that that this is really the most important story by all regards, but simply that the US is desensitized because it's not as highly covered as Columbine. But when incidents of violence figure prominently in the media, it's characterized by an obsession with blindness, i.e. Scott Peterson.

And the kid probably was not an Indian if he was a Nazi named Jeff Weiss.
It's the lead on the BBC website.

The kid is Native American, way he called himself the Native Nazi.

If this shooting had taken place in a suburban school in Minneapolis this story would be way bigger.

Least he could have done was show some ethnic pride -- and if he really was into the whole race purity thing, I would think he would have -- by perpetrating with a bow and arrow, not a gun.

As well, if such were to have been the case, we could blame the Walkmen and their suck-ass album for the shooting... Mmmmm, no more Walkmen -- maybe I could get that Johnathan Fire*eater reunion I have been praying on. Those boys were dirty, then... "Give me daughters, and make it one two three, and I will raise them to go to church with me", huh? That's almost as bad as calling your album Panda Bear.

heres the story as of now

source

BEMIDJI, Minn. (Reuters) - A 17-year-old who killed nine people and himself on a Minnesota Indian reservation identified himself as an "angel of death" and a "NativeNazi" on Internet postings, a newspaper reported on Tuesday.

Officials sealed off the remote town of Red Lake, 60 miles south of the Canadian border, while they investigated Monday's bloodbath, the worst U.S. school shooting since the 1999 Columbine massacre.

Floyd Jourdain Jr., chairman of the Red Lake Indian council, called the tragedy "the darkest day in the history of our tribe."

The shooter was Red Lake High School sophomore Jeff Weise, according to witnesses and school officials.

Weise identified himself in Internet site postings as "Todesengel," German for "angel of death" and "NativeNazi," the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported.

He also claimed to have been questioned by police in 2004 about an alleged plot to shoot up the school on the anniversary of Adolf Hitler's birthday, but said he had nothing to do with that, the report said.

"I guess I've always carried a natural admiration for Hitler and his ideals, and his courage to take on larger nations," the newspaper quoted Weise as saying in one forum used by neo-Nazis.

Other reports described Weise as someone who was often teased at the school.

Weise's rampage began when he shot dead his grandfather, identified as veteran tribal police officer Daryl "Dash" Lussier, and Lussier's girlfriend at their home.

The gunman then drove his grandfather's police car to the school, where he killed a male security guard, a teacher and five students before taking his own, the FBI said.

"We believe the shooter was acting alone," said FBI agent Paul McCabe, adding the dead at the school were all in one room.

The gunman fired at doors of classrooms barricaded by terrified students and teachers, witnesses said.

"He came into the school and the first person he shot was the security officer at the door," said Molly Miron, editor of the Bemidji Pioneer newspaper. "One of the students told me he pointed his gun at a boy and then changed his mind, smiled, waved at him, and shot somebody else."

Police, alerted to the massacre when students used cell phones to call for help, said they exchanged gunfire with the gunman, who ducked into a classroom and shot himself.

Witnesses said he was armed with a shotgun or rifle and at least one handgun.

It was the deadliest U.S. school shooting since the April 20, 1999, Columbine High School massacre in Colorado in which 14 students -- including the two killers -- and a teacher died.

The Minnesota reservation is controlled by the Ojibwa tribe, commonly known as the Chippewa, which says it has roughly 10,000 members, about half of whom live on the reservation.

The tribe runs its own affairs and operates casinos in the state and a small casino in Red Lake, 35 miles north of Bemidji on the shores of Lower Red Lake. But the casinos are not as successful as others in more populous areas and unemployment on the reservation is high.

It was the latest multiple shooting in a month of deadly gun violence in the United States, including the deaths of seven congregants at a church service near Milwaukee and four people in an Atlanta courtroom escape.

Very sad. Hitler would have had Natives exterminated or at least marginalized had he taken over the U.S.

An Indian dude named Weiss advocating racial purity.
