A few days ago, a student named T.J. Lane walked into Ohio's Chardon High School and opened fire.
One victim died Monday. Two others were declared dead on Tuesday. One other remained hospitalized Tuesday. A fifth victim was released, officials said.
He said Lane has admitted taking a .22-caliber gun and a knife into Chardon High School on Monday morning and firing 10 rounds, choosing his victims randomly.
As the internet & news media scrambled to find out more information about TJ Lane, we have found out that he listened to the popular 2k12 hyped indie band Grimes, the latest 'buzz flavor of the month' who is being forced down our throats by the Corrupt Indie Machine.
Recent posts on Lane's Facebook page show him sharing links to music videos from groups like Grimes and Blood on the Dance Floor, listing his sister in his profile and uploading photos of himself.
Yet one long, poetic rant, from December 30, appears to be darker.
The post refers to "a quaint lonely town, (where there) sits a man with a frown (who) longed for only one thing, the world to bow at his feet."
"He was better than the rest, all those ones he detests, within their castles, so vain," he wrote.
Lane then writes about going through "the castle ... like an ominous breeze through the trees," past guards -- all leading up to the post's dramatic conclusion.
"Feel death, not just mocking you. Not just stalking you but inside of you," he writes. "Wriggle and writhe. Feel smaller beneath my might. Seizure in the Pestilence that is my scythe. Die, all of you."
After getting three positive reviews, Lane wrote: "much obliged to all who 'liked' this. Wrote it myself in class one day ..."
Does Grimes inclusion on his FB wall mean that 'mainstream corporate indie' has now reached the mainstream markets of disgruntled alt tweens?
Will Grimes song "Vanessa" forever be known as a school shooting anthem?
comments have been disabled due to ongoing link to the Ohio school shootings. Grimes is a wonderfully talented artist and just because some kid posted this vid before doing what he did shouldn't detract from that. It's unwanted attention and completely unneccessary.
Has Grimes made music that is 'too alt' because it doesn't have a message that normalized mainstream ppl can identify with?
Is this some sort of complex marketing scheme put together by the Corrupt Indie Machine?
Are indie blogs ready 2 talk abt indie imagery and how it can enter the minds of warped teenagers?
Did Grimes inspire TJ Lane 2 feel more isolated & inspire his shooting spree?
Is indie music ruining the mainstream suburban tween experience?
Is TJ Lane just another blogosphere indie consumer and blog music listener?
Who was TJ Lane?
Lane lived with his grandparents and was slow to open up about his personal life, according to friends. While he was known by many around Chardon High School, located 30 miles east of Cleveland, at the time of the shooting he was there to be transported to Lake Academy Alternative School in nearby Willoughby.
The school describes itself as a place for "at risk" students who are "reluctant learners" struggling with problems such as "substance abuse /chemical dependency, anger issues, mental health issues, truancy, delinquency, difficulties with attention/organization, and academic deficiencies."
If TJ Lane was a true indie consumer, would he have realized that school shootings were s000 _ years ago?
Was Columbine the last relevant school shooting buzz bubble?
Or was it that Unchill AZN Bro at Virginia Tech?
Has indie internet subculture gotten 'too dark' because the corporate nature of it makes it all seem like it isn't a scene that you can truly identify with and be inspired by?
Does the indie internet scene help ppl 2 unite and connect, or does it fuel isolation and violence?
Is indie now the 'no1 understands me' music, replacing Linkin Park/Korn/other aggro music?
Are misguided teenagers now guided towards 'internet music' instead of just mainstream radio rocknroll?
