According to reports this tactic was developed in response to columbine. Two cops close by heard shots and iimediately went in and killed the guy. Before columbine, cops would tend to sit and wait. It was decided after columbine entering immediately is better than waiting.

I had heard that the Montreal police revised their SOP for dealing with situations like this after the massacre of 12 college students in 1989 by another psycho rampaging through a dormitory. It was decided that the police did not react quickly enough and a much more aggresive response protocol was developed as a result, this predates Columbine.

Could be. I had read that columbine was the reason, but you know with these things there is a lot of contradictory and false info going around.

Thought Canada had more gun laws than the US.... so much for laws.... the killing continues.

Also known as the "doing what people expected cops to do in the first place" tactic.

Turns out those guns, kevlar, and training can be used for more then just shooting people for holding a wallet. Who'da thunk it.

The guy was obsessed with a game called Super columbine Killer…
Why is there a video game called, “Super columbine Killer?”

Anybody can make a video game. Or it could be a modified version of an existing game, done by some random enthusiast. I doubt any game company would make such a thing, if they wanted to stay in business.

Looks shitty, anyways:

They probably do....do they have less mass shootings ? If you're going to say that someone ignoring a law renders that law pointless or ineffective, then why not repeal all laws, after all they all get broken at some point......

Horrible. All that hatred. It's impossible to even begin to understand it - it's like looking into an abyss.....

To all the pro-guns here: if I remember well, in the movie, M Moore was claiming that Canada had more guns than the USA. He was wondering why Canada didn't have massacres like the USA (which shows
1) he should have researched the issue a lil bit more
2) he should have understood that massacres tend to statistically happen less often in a 25 millions inhabitants country than in a 290 millions one).

Anyway, it seems that gun legislation has little to do with that. Sincerely, I don't think the issue of guns should even be brought up on such occasions. What's a dozen deaths once every 2 or 3 years when hundreds die each week?

Do you know of any sites that tell how to make or modifying games?

There's loads. Pretty much any FPS game has sites that allow you to edit games in some way. Different weapons, architecture, skins, you can even play with the physics of some games. Quake is the obvious big example, but pretty much all those kinds of games can be edited

Perhaps you could make one of this insensitive prick ( http://www.columbinegame.com ) getting killed.

For modifiable games try http://www.gamesmodding.com or http://www.moddb.com .

It varies from game to game. Ussually the main skills required are programming, modelling, textures, and mapping.

I think you over estimate "Goth." They claim to be anti-establishment, antichristain, anarchism, and all of that fun stuff, but in reality most of them are psuedo-intellectuals that never delve into any topic past what they were able to read from a Secondary source because they are too lazy or too stupid to read the real thing. Then they take what they've "learned" grossly misinterpret it, dress up like a dead mime and go smoke in front of the mall. By and large their political "views" are undeveloped and completely non-sensical. Of course, there are exceptions, I'm sure, but most people that I've met that have put thought into any of the views that Goth kids pretend to beleive in anxious to not be associated with Goth.

They didn't branch from liberalism, they (in my limited experience at least) flunked out of liberalism.

...I can't stand Goth kids.
