THE JOKELA HIGH SCHOOL MASSACRE:
In a message posted on the YouTube web site prior to the massacre, the 18-year-old Pekka-Eric
Auvinen, who slaughtered seven students and a teacher on November 1st, 2007, before killing himself,
described himself as an antisocial social Darwinist and went on to say: "I am an anarchist who believes
only in natural selection. People must again start applying natural selection. Animals live in that way, so
why should human beings not? At the end of the day, we are simply animals. We human beings are the
worst animals on Earth... That is where there must be [natural selection]. The earlier, the better. ... The
law is simply the ideas of the strong... You must therefore take control of your life and become an anar-
chist... The weak must die, while the strong survive. That is
natural selection, the survival of the fittest. Animals con-
stantly die. You never see a dog crying over having killed
another dog. Human beings also die. The reaction must be
the same. This is simply a natural thing, not a great or im-
portant one. I am not the law and the judge. I have no au-
thority. I am ready to fight and die for my aim. Since I do
not regard natural selection as sufficient, I will eliminate
the disgraces of mankind, the failures of natural selection...
I am different, I have evolved a stage further." (From Pecca-
Eric Auvinen's video "My Philosophy")
THE COLUMBINE HIGH SCHOOL
MASSACRE:
On April 20th, 1999, two students at
Columbine High School in the U.S. state of
Colorado, 18-year-old Eric Harris and 17-year-old
Dylan Klebold, entered their school with guns and
bombs. After killing 12 students and a teacher in
the space of 30 minutes, they then killed them-
selves. Harris' T-shirt read “Natural Selection.”
Most of the writings collected from Harris’ home in
the wake of the attack referred to natural selection
and feelings of superiority. In videos previously
uploaded onto the internet, Harris and Klebold
constantly referred to themselves as
“more evolved” and talked about how
it felt to be supposedly “superhuman.”
Darwinism can easily turn innocent
people into monsters. To the left can be
seen the former appearances of these
child killers, compared to how they
looked immediately before the killings.
