In Seattle, a 28 year old pizza guy named Aaron Kyle Huff killed 6 ravers at an afterparty before turning a shotgun on himself.

I know the first question on everybody’s mind is: Ravers still exist?? Yes, apparently so. Although, I suspect that in 2006 they are an endangered species (Please refrain from making any hunting jokes. Thank you).

The second question is: Isn’t shooting raver kids akin to shooting Pokemon, or little fluffy bunnies? I mean, they are some of the most harmless beings on the planet. One of the guys who died was named Sushi, for cryin’ out loud. Look at his myspace profile - ok, so he was a horny 22 year old raverkid. Is that any reason to shoot him? Deacon 808 seemed like a raver/goth hybrid who liked zombies. Did he deserve to die? This kind of stuff breaks my heart, and I didn’t even know the dudes.

Those poor candyflippers invited this guy they didn’t know into their rental house and he paid back their hospitality in bullets. Like hens inviting a fox to dinner. Turns out this Huff guy has a twin brother, is from Montana, and had an assault rifle, several “banana clips” with 30 bullets each, a machete and several hundred more rounds of ammunition in his car. Whitefish authorities described him as a small-town rowdy who was arrested in 2000 for shooting at a public art project with a shotgun while drunk.. Yet, he was known as quiet, polite, and nice. Eegads. In his apartment, police found three rifles and a grenade. Before his killing spree, he spray-painted the word NOW on the sidewalk and steps. I think they should investigate the twin brother and keep an eye out for some freaky Cronenberg shit.

The rave they went to was called Better Off Undead.

Sometimes the universe just likes to stick it in, doesn’t it?
