Pekka Eric Auvinen case for me which I have studied deeply and continue to study is extremely interesting and achievable of understanding than any other mass/school shooting or crimes case.
1- Pekka didn't want to be recognized as a school shooter, but as a political terrorist.
2- The attack, despite having been at a school, had a much greater symbolism than a "shooter angry at bullying".
3- Pekka was not angry with Bullying. he was disgusted with the human system, with the problem at its root, and this is an interesting thing, because he was the only one to deny all social values in their essence, not focusing his anger on one aspect or another. the problem is systematic.
4- Pekka suffered physical and behavioral bullying, to the point of chasing him to throw paper balls with a slingshot.
5- He was always quiet, calm and realistic.
6- Although he has behaviors attributed to totally cold people, Pekka was a very emotional person, so much so that he lived a long distance relationship until he was very happy while it lasted. He loved his family, so much so that he asked in his manifesto not to blame them, and it is said that before attacking, he gave his younger brother a hug and left towards the school.
7- More than a simple revolt against society, Pekka not only wanted to end it there, he did not want to create a suicide cult like some, nor to promote the destruction of nature, but to promote, in every sense of the word, a revolution against the human society. and he even consciously sacrificed himself for it.
8- Self-sacrifice for a revolutionary ideal is what lies behind the attack. it's not just bullying or social, psychological and spiritual intimidation. these are forms, the problem is much deeper than that and is in the way we act among ourselves.
9- Was Pekka depressed? yes, but not for necessarily emotional reasons, but because of seeing the modern situation with pessimism.
10- Pekka was heavily inspired by the writings of Pentti Linkola, a Pacifist Deep Ecologist who always preached that overpopulation was the biggest problem. in addition to Pentti, he read a great deal of the highest intellectual literature, including Nietzsche and others.
11- Pekka was an intellectual, nature lover and radical misanthrope.
12- His support of attacks was not due to a taste for violence without reason. as he hated modern society and humanity, anything that destroys it is an ally. and that is not only with him, but with virtually all misanthropes, Pacifist or otherwise.
13- Pekka dated tannasheel knowing she was a nazi? yea. in this case, we see that for all his hatred of society, there was a peaceful nature there, seeking acceptance and finding it in an intellectual opposite.
14- Pekka's parents did not disown or demonize their son. on the contrary, they provided a very beautiful tomb for him, which can even be visited, in addition to paying tribute to his son. they never made any money doing speeches or those things. of course they were interviewed, but they didn't turn it into a form of profit.
15- Karma Hietanen almost became the first female school shooter in Finland due to Pekka, her love for Pekka, which, though inconceivable to us, was and is for her very important. and to deny this is to deny reality. Pekka was also a source of inspiration for his friend Maati Saari, who would go on to make another attack but with other motivations.
For all these reasons, Pekka deserves further study.
