A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

If Wikipedia is accurate the previous school shooting in Finland was 12 years ago - it doesn't seem like an epidemic.
Meanwhile in the US, there are between 1-4 school shootings per month that result in injuries or deaths. I don't think I've heard the 2 or 3 for March on the news.
It is accurate. There have been four school shootings in total in the history of Finland - Raumanmeri, Jokela, Kauhajoki and now this.
Looking back at my school days, it doesn't surprise me things like this happen.
Kids are cruel, and a lot of them think they're immune to the consequences of their actions.
Unfortunately, this mindset carries over into adulthood more often than not.
Treat people right, guys.
I mean they kinda are. The school only has leverage on students that care. So leading up to a confrontation the school really can’t do anything against an antagonizer. when there Is a confrontation, only the student that cared in the first place is going to be punished meaningfully. Well it’s either that or the teachers are just as cruel as the bullies.
America, no!
What?
Sorry, force of habit
This is the best summary I could come up with:
He was holding a licensed handgun owned by a close relative and admitted carrying out the shooting in an initial interview, they added.
The shooting took place on Tuesday morning at the Viertola school in Vantaa, a suburb of the capital, Helsinki.
Police said they were made aware of the shooting shortly after 9am local time, after which they warned bystanders to stay indoors and away from the area and not to open their doors to strangers.
The Finnish broadcaster Yle reported that parents at the school said the suspected shooter was a sixth-grade student there.
Previous school shootings in Finland have put a harsh focus on the country’s gun policy.
There are more than 1.5m licensed firearms and about 430,000 licence holders in the nation of 5.6 million people, where hunting and target shooting are popular activities.
The original article contains 435 words, the summary contains 138 words. Saved 68%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Schools will have to eventually send bullies and trouble makers away. Education for the behaved, something else for the rest. Guns are never going away.
Toeing eugenics there.
Not really.
Alternative education isn't even in the neighborhood hood of restricted reproduction.
You are being very dramatic. Perhaps you were a school bully? Is there something you'd like to share on how this triggered you in this way?
The mines will always need labor, be it in earth or mars.
