Finland is already reaping the rewards of NATO membership. May the burgerification of Finland begin!

The USA vassal state, NATO-Finland, is becoming every day more like its owner. The fascist ghoul government shed crocodile tears accompanied by thoughts and prayers. PM Orpo said children’s (mental health) wellbeing is their top priority. Oh yeah? Really believable, when all this fascist government is doing is austerity, kicking the poor who already were suffering and suffocating the working class. At least IMF will be delighted.

jfc what makes a 12yo do this?

Shouldn't be very difficult in places like Finland to acquire firearms? I wonder how he ended up getting his hands on one.
- According to news, from a parent.
  
  Yeah it's in the article:
  The weapon used in the shooting was a registered handgun that was licensed to the suspect’s relative, Detective Inspector Kimmo Hyvärinen said.
  Also seems like they are relatively lax with guns:
  In the Nordic nation of 5.6 million, there are more than 1.5 million licensed firearms and about 430,000 license holders, according to the Finnish Interior Ministry. Hunting and gun-ownership have long traditions in the sparsely-populated northern European country.
  Responsibility for granting permits for ordinary firearms rests with local police departments.

not the first in finland: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_school_shooting

This is the best summary I could come up with:
HELSINKI (AP) — A 12-year-old student opened fire at a secondary school in southern Finland and wounded three other students on Tuesday, police said.
The suspect was later arrested, police said.
Heavily armed police cordoned off the lower secondary school, with some 800 students, in the city of Vantaa, just outside the capital, Helsinki, after receiving a call about a shooting incident at 09:08 a.m.
Police said both the suspect and the wounded were 12 years old.
Police said the suspect was arrested in the Helsinki area later Tuesday.
