Don't know if this has been in the UK news, a 16-year-old shot at two teachers and then killed himself on Wednesday in a town about 30 miles from my hometown.
Now it has emerged that he was involved in the "gothic scene" and allegedly celebrated black masses at the cemetery. Again, goths and satanists are mentioned in the same breath.
Oh, and obviously, he was listening to Heavy Metal as well.

Grrrrrr

Heh, yeah don't be too tempted.
I wonder how long it will take them to find RPG books. Goth, listening to metal, it wouldn't be too unusual for him to be a gamer as well...

same old crap, blame a convinient scapegoat rather than look for any real issues

a few days ago that wonderful peice of journalistic integrity The Sun did teh same in relation to a 13 year old (i think) girl who was described as a "goth fan"

I think it's not surprising that I don't tell my parents with what kind of people I hang out with or what kind of music I listen to, is it? Especially my mum is easily convinced. :o/
