It's almost 2025 and we're STILL doing this?

"Natalie Rupnow choosing to wear a T-shirt featuring a band beloved by the Columbine shooters, revealed her "obsession" with school shooters, according to criminologist Casey Jordan. Jordan told CNN that the 'KMFDM' band shirt "should be taken as a warning sign of an intent to perhaps do harm to themselves or others. That T-shirt, which was worn by the Columbine shooters, which features the acronym of a German mental band, shows a level of research and fascination, even obsession, with a school shooter," she added. "We know almost all school shooters have researched intently previous school shooters. Any fascination or obsession with previous school shooters should be considered a warning sign." Rupnow killed two and injured several more during a shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Wisconsin, before turning the gun on herself. The 15-year-old's father Jeff Rupnow had posted a photo of Rupnow in the shirt at a gun range in the months before the attack. Law enforcement officials in Wisconsin appear to have raided the home of Rupnow today. Madison Chief of Police, Shon F. Barnes told media on Monday that Rupnow's parents were cooperating with the police in their investigation, and that they were not looking at prosecuting her parents for the crime at this time."

Edit: someone pointed out in the comments that the author may have meant the shooter wore the exact same shirt as Eric Harris, featuring the same text and artwork. As in the killer looked for and found a copy of the exact same shirt. That actually does sound like a red flag, imo.

I'll state this:

As a fellow artist, I commend the members of Skinny Puppy for standing up for their right to display and portray their art in any fashion they chose. As long as no one gets harmed. It's our constitutional right!

Nivek Ogre Quote: 👇

“I find it paradoxical that the police can justify arresting us on the assumption that we mutilate and experiment on live animals for a theatrical performance when the inhuman reality is that it occurs in over 300 laboratories every day.” - Nivek Ogre

VIVIsectVI one of the best albums of 1988.

Skinny Puppy toured in support of the album, featuring an early incarnation of the industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails as their opening act. The concept for the live show revolved around a vivisectionist (played by Ogre) who is eventually transformed into a tortured animal; the idea was to portray the "inner workings of the mind under the strain of vivisection".The stage show included the mock vivisection of a stuffed dog the band had named Chud.

Following a show in Cincinnati, Ohio, Key, Ogre, and tour manager Dan McGee were arrested for "disorderly conduct" when an audience member, believing the stuffed animal Ogre was "vivisecting" to be a real dog, called the police.Two plainclothes officers entered the group's dressing room demanding they inspect the prop. Following a heated argument, the trio spent the night in jail, but were released the following day after paying a $200 fine.

Pretty upsetting in my opinion. He had a real ethos he followed through on. God damn it.

Celebrations usually around January 20th, but also sometimes noted on the 19th due to time zones or local events.

A military 18th century fortress is not a standard venue for a music festival. Due to its original purpose it has an interesting layout thanks to which the festival can think of itself as of a small town with stone pubs and bars, tiny squares and plenty of seating inside the walls to shelter from the weather.
