The shooter was Jeff Weise, a 17-year-old student who had been placed in the school's Homebound program for some violation of policy, said school board member Kathryn Beaulieu. Students in that program stay at home and are tutored by a traveling teacher. Beaulieu said she didn't know what Weise's violation was, and wouldn't be allowed to reveal it if she did. There was no immediate indication of Weise's motive. But several students said he held anti-social beliefs, and he may have posted messages on a neo-Nazi Web site expressing admiration for Adolf Hitler.
| Why are people so fond of rooting through the ash heap of history? Perhaps as an experiment we should set up a neo-Merovingian website and see how many people post messages expressing admiratioin for Chilperic. Or maybe a neo-Viking site where people can express their admiration for Sven Forkbeard. |
