    living the american way of life is "cool" here in germany. We adopt many of your behaviors some good some bad^^

    e.g. 5 years ago "Halloween" definitely doesn´t exist in germany. Today we celebrate it like you. child´s running from house to house earning sweets.

    first of all /sign to your post!

    in germany we also have a upper class, a middle class and a lower class.

    This poor guy was an lower class boy. HIs parents weren´t very interested in his activities. Their interest were (probably) "Where do i get my next beer" or "oh my god where do i get a job"

    Yes also in germany are families which spend their time with drinking alcohol and watching TV. Losing their view for the real life.

    To my mind his parents lost their "feeling" for real life.

    (excuse my probably bad english)

    I´m still waiting for the day when someone jumps through a german city, with pointedly ears and glowing eyes. On that day World of Worcraft will be bannend too from german resellers.

    The point is that he not only "trained" in Counter Strike. He and his friends played "Paint Ball" in the forest and made movies which resemble "Matrix". Our german politcians tend to rapidly find someone or somethink who is guilty for that. Germans know about the fact that not only a game is the reason for that drama. There are many factors. e.g. the social environment and psychological disturbances. The guy has posted many of his "ideas" and "threats" in different german forums (which were shut down after the drama).

    To my mind he was just a disturbed young man. His family and friends simply didnt understand what dangerous things were going on in his mind.

    Here one of his videos:

    Supplement:

    German police had had problems to save his corpse because of many self made bombs he was wearing on his body.
