This issue takes on particular importance, seen in the context of the tragic fatal shootings at Jokela School in Finland a few weeks ago.
  De omvang van de schietpartij was zo groot en het karakter ervan zo willekeurig en onevenredig dat het best kan worden gesproken van een moordpartij. The extent of the shooting was so enormous and its character so random and disproportionate, that it would not be unreasonable to describe it as butchery.
