Rants and threats posted on the Internet have become a common thread among people who carry out murderous rampages, experts say.

Murray quoted extensively from Web postings more than eight years earlier by Columbine High School killer Eric Harris.

KAUHAJOKI, Finland - The gunman in Finland's latest school shooting likely bought his gun in the town where a teenager went on another rampage less than a year ago, police said Wednesday, adding to the growing list of eerie similarities between the massacres. Matti Saari, 22, bought a .22-caliber gun at a store in Jokela, about 155 miles from his home, and on Tuesday killed 10 people and himself, police said. Last November, 18-year-old Pekka-Eric Auvinen likely got his gun at the same store before killing eight people and himself, they said.

Lintu agrees that comparing countries is "sometimes useful," but he warns that in this case, "The difference of scale is so big." Finland is 75 percent forested and mostly homogenous - the country's largest immigrant population is Russian. The country's northern quarter lies above the Arctic Circle. Of Finland's 5.3 million citizens, 561,000 live in the southern city of Helsinki. We don't have enormously rich people, and we don't have people living in abject poverty," Lintu says of the "nordic Scandinavian welfare society" he represents. "Finland is a rather egalitarian society from the point of view of income distribution. I think this is a rather conscious choice of policy makers, and also the voters. Lintu doesn't see a contradiction between Finland's generous social services and i...
