Some newspaper articles about the Emsdetten Shooting

[fransfilth]

gameswelt magazine declaring that there were no shooter games found to be owned by gregor r., the ansbach school attacker

a discussion surrounding the ban of fps games in germany had been prevalent as the prior shootings of emsdetten, erfurt and winnenden were partially blamed on violent video games.

On July 22, 2016, over two hours elapsed between the time 18-year-old David Sonboly killed nine people inside the McDonalds’s restaurant on Hanauer Street and in the vicinity of Munich’s Olympia Shopping Center before he committed suicide. He spent most of the time hiding underground, in a bicycle cellar. During this time, he also changed his black T-shirt into a blue one, perhaps in a further attempt to conceal his identity. He was met by police when he emerged from the building at around 8:26 p.m. Sonboly screamed at the officers to shoot him, then said, “But before I leave, I have to get rid of something! I am not an Islamist, not a Salafist. I was under treatment for mental health issues. It had to happen” before raising the gun to his left temple and ending his life.

Located nearby was the Toni-Pfülf-School, Sonboly’s former middle school, where he endured years of mental and physical abuse, namely in classes five through seven. The bullying he experienced here, mostly from students of a migrant background, was in part the decisive factor in targeting youth of that same demographic, and what he referenced as the cause throughout his rampage. In a document created mere days before the shooting referred to as the “Bastian-Chat,” a fictitious exchange between Sonboly and deceased school shooter Bastian Bosse, it was also this period he sought to redeem: “The monkey from the Toni Pfülf School will be one of the most powerful in Germany.”

Picture of Sebastian Bosse (18), perpetrator of the 2006 Emsdetten school shooting in Germany.

On November 20th, he entered his former school in North Rhine-Westphalia and wounded 22 people before committing suicide. He was armed with a Sawed-off Burgo .22 caliber bolt action air rifle, a sawed-off Ardesa percussion rifle, a pistol, a machete , a knife and several homemade bombs.

Bosse wrote in his journal that he hated humanity and the people at his school and wanted them to "pay" for bullying him. There is also evidence that he was heavily inspired by the 1999 Columbine shooting and that he idolized Eric Harris.

Now that theaters are open Dagsavisen wrote an article about plays that will be on stage this autumn. This is what they had to say about 20.November

“ Dagsavisen's reviewer stated  that Tarjei Sandvik Moe excels in the role of a young man who plans a school shooting in «20. November »,after the premiere of the monologue which is played in Teaterkjelleren. Swedish playwriter Lars Norén and the German actress Anne Tismer created the play in the wake of a school shooting in Emsdetten in Germany committed by 18-year-old Sebastian Bosse. Ilene Sørbøe is the director and Tarjei Sandvik Moe plays out the horror in a captivating and wise way. Playing from 18 December.”

When I first posted the review I didn’t notice that the journalist had written that Tarjei played in den 25. timen, which he did NOT do. She updated the review at june 4th. And I’ve now updated the review here.

This lady were seated in front of me during the play at june 2nd!

I used google translate as it is too early for my brain to function.

Descent to the underworld

Brutal and painful about what's going on in a mass murderer's head.

Mona Levin Theater reviewer in Aftenposten

Our rating: 5

Facts 20 November:

Lars Norén, Centralteatret Teaterkjeller’n, with Tarjei Sandvik Moe, direction and translation Ilene Sørbøe, video, scenography and lighting design Oscar Udbye

A thin, slightly crooked young man with a shaved head is on his way to his old school. He carries a hockey bag full of weapons. He has a lot to avenge and nothing to lose. Now he tells why. Why he hates everything and everyone, hates his own life. And in doing so, he makes everyone complicit.

"All" are the spectators, scaled down to 20, at a good distance from each other and from him. The distance sheds an extra light on the boy's dark loneliness as he undresses his psyche in quiet, loveless desperation. No one cares. No one is innocent. He will die himself, but refuses to go alone. Through revenge he will be seen.

School shooting

The Swedish playwright Lars Norén died of Covid earlier this year, and the premiere of this play from 2007 has been postponed for over a year for the same reason. Date «20. November »refers to a school shooting in Emsdetten in Germany in 2006, where Sebastian Bosse became another of more and more school shooters.

Norén has had access to diaries from Bosses' hand, and built the play over them. Lars Norén himself was a troubled soul, a victim of bullying, a marginalized and invisible boy. All his pieces are driven by this basement darkness.

When bullying is torture

Sebastian Bosse was a victim of torture. At school, classmates felt they had every right to harass him daily, for years, beating and harassing him, burning him with glowing iron, forcing him to eat sand. It's torture. Nobody saw it, he was nobody. No money, no boyfriend.

In the end, he went the way of victim to perpetrator. Should we accept it? Understand that? We must at least listen to the outrageous story, no matter how unpleasant it is.

Sebastian (Tarjei Sandvik Moe) tells it seemingly passionately, but it is obvious that he is driven to the extreme and that there is only one way out. He's ready. The voice is empty, but the eyes seem honest when he apologizes to the parents, they are good people, he says. Should we believe it? He also says "humans are a disease".

Luminous Sandvik Moe

The nerve fibers are almost visible under the skin that tightens over Tarjei Sandvik Moe's cheekbones.

Now he repeats the feat, but with more notes in the instrument and even greater depths in the game.

It is a luminous and multifaceted interpretation he gives of a crippled young mind. He hides his sensitivity, hides all the scars. He is full of longing, full of hope. What's the point of living? If life has no meaning, then at least death must have meaning.

Dialogue for one

The direction (Ilene Sørbøe) is discreet and almost mesmerizingly significant. Oscar Udbye's scenography consists of a catwalk with video screens at both ends. Sebastian carries on a handheld camera filming the audience. We become part of the action.

The text is a dialogue he has with himself and with us. Every now and then he asks the audience questions, demands answers as Sebastian was asked for answers during school hours. He himself refused to answer. He does not give us the same right. If we do not answer loudly, at least the questions resonate within us, while we look around embarrassed.

In one scene, after he has overwhelmedly sunk to the floor, he makes a kind of ballet of rhythmic movements with his right hand. It gets darker around him, and in the cold light that accompanies the action, he lets the judgment of his fellow human beings fall.

[theallmightyglowingcloud]

At 9:25am On the 20th of November 2006, 18 year old Sebastian B. entered his former school Geschwister-Scholl-Realschule in Emsdetten, NRW, armed with a gun and various pipe bombs. After injuring 6 people he committed suicide by shooting himself through the roof of his mouth. 

“Before any of you claim I’m just a copycat killer emulating Harris or some other killers, you should stop and think for a moment:

Is a village priest just a „copycat“ of the Pope? No! Of course not! He believes in the same things as the Pope but he doesn’t copy him. He holds the same beliefs as the Pope. Just like the fucking Pope, he’s part of an entirety. Some dick of a chaplain better not open his fucking mouth at my funeral! THERE IS NO FUCKING GOD But how did the world come into existence… I always thought at some point two or more substances mixed and then very slowly one thing emerged from the other. But I have absolutely no clue where on earth one of those substances is supposed to have come from in the first place!”

[teejaysnow]

Since I translated this article for tarjeimoeperu on IG, I thought I’d put it up on here as well:

Without a crew

Tarjei Sandvik Moe (20) has become weirder since “Skam”. Now he enters his darkest character yet.

“I didn’t reflect on it in the beginning, that this is the first time I play someone that’s lived in the real world. It feels remarkable to carry the words of someone who died in 2006.”

A crumpled script lies on the table in front of Tarjei Sandvik Moe, there are no others in the actor foyer in Oslo Nye theatre.

“This will probably be the darkest part I’ve played. It’s as tragic as it can be.”

School shooting

20 November 2006, Sebastian Bosse shot down several students and employees at his previous school in Emsdetten in Germany. Afterwards he took his own life. Everyone survived, apart from the eighteen year old who performed the attack.

The monologue ‘20 November’ is based on diary entries and information he left behind. The play has already been staged in Germany, Sweden and France. Here at home it’s being directed by Ilene Sørbø. Sebastian is being played by Tarjei.

“It was just luck that no one else died. He shot many and threw smoke bombs at people, and had planned to take his own life.”

“What happened to him?”

“He was bullied a lot, felt that the school didn’t fit him, and that the community didn’t let him be himself. Therefore he swore to take a personal revenge, which he tried to elevate to something greater by making it political, almost religious.”

It’s about what alienation can lead to. And the question is if we all carry a part of the responsibility when something like that happens, like Tarjei sees it.

“In practical terms it’s only the person performing such actions that is responsible. But at the same time he’s a product of the society he lives in. This person had the same needs as me. He wanted to be seen, but no one did. And then it all went wrong. I hope the play will remind people that young people are vulnerable to fall outside [of society]. There we can all be more vigilant.

Great start

The dream about what he wanted to be was there from the beginning. But was an acting career really a realistic future dream? At the beginning of grade 10, Tarjei Sandvik Moe made a deal with himself, ‘only if you get a paid actor job within two years is it meant that you’re to become an actor’. Completely unaware of what was to come. The sign he was waiting for came in the form of a call from the Skam creator Julie Andem and the offer of the part of Isak.

As we know, this TV series really took off, both in Norway and abroad, and became the take off of all time for Tarjei Sandvik Moe’s career. There were Gullruten awards, parts in musicals, films and tv series, and a contract with Oslo Nye that preliminary ends in 2021.

“It feels very long since Skam now. I have done so much afterwards. I thought TV was going to be my road to travel, but I’ve become more and more interested in theatre and storytelling. There are so many other expressions than the down-to-earth realism that I worked with in Skam. I like dance. And performing arts. I don’t want to go long periods without doing theatre. I have probably become a bit weirder,” he admits.

Close to the audience

Even though his CV grows, the same thing can’t be said about his self confidence.

“Before Skam I thought that I would easily become an incredibly good actor. I dared to be arrogant about it in front of my friends. But for every new project, the work gets harder and harder because I set higher and higher standards for myself. As an actor I will probably never stop being nervous or wonder whether I’m good enough.”

20 November will be performed at Teaterkjeller’n. There is only room for 72 audience members in the room. Tarjei will be alone on the stage for an hour. There is no one else to lean on, nothing to hide behind.

“I very much like to act close to the audience. We really get to utilize the theatre space. I can’t think of a more exciting project than 20 November. The character is so complex. The theme is challenging. It’s a really good feeling. I’d rather make true art that means something for a few people than some rubbish that’ll be viewed by millions,” says Tarjei Sandvik Moe.

“But,” he says as a reservation, “not everything I do ends up being good.”

“I don’t know yet if this ends up being good. It depends on if I manage to act it out okay. But I always make an attempt at it. And I like this attempt a lot.”

As @kalashni-cola says it doesn't only happen in America. You just believe the propaganda of those in government. A gun is just a tool. Where someone is hell bent on causing pain and suffering, the lack of a firearm doesn't stop the carnage. Here's a short list to refresh your memory about how "peaceful" Europe is:

Madrid Bombing: killed 193, wounded 2,000; Paris suicide bombing: killed 130, wounded 416; Nice truck attack; killed 86, wounded 430; Norway Bombing/shooting: 77 dead/67 by gunfire, 319 wounded; Barcelona car/bombing attacks: 24 dead, 152 injured; Brussels suicide bombing: 32 killed, 300 wounded; Manchester bombing: 21 killed, 1,017 injured; Liège shooting/grenade attack: 6 dead, 125 injured; London vehicle attack: 8 ded, 48 wounded; Berlin suicide bombings: 13 dead, 55 injured;

Only shootings then? Ok.

Antwerp shooting: 3 dead, 1 injured; Copenhagen shooting: 3 dead, 5 injured; Narsaq Greenland shooting: 7 dead, 1 injured; Kauhajoki Finland school shooting: 11 dead, 11 injured; Raumanmeri Finland school shooting: 2 dead; Sello mall shooting Finland: 6 dead; Emsdetten Germany school shooting: 1 dead, 22 injured; Eppstein school shooting: 6 dead, 14 wounded; Erfurt Germany school shooting: 17 dead, 1 injured; Euskirchen Germany court shooting/bombing: 7 dead, 8 injured; Frankfurt Airport shooting: 2 dead, 2 wounded; Halle synagogue shooting: 2 dead, 3 injured; Hanau Germany shooting: 11 dead, 5 injured; Lörrach, Germany hospital shooting: 4 dead, 18 injured; Winnenden Germany school shooting: 16 dead, 9 injured;

I could go on and on - shootings in Italy, Lithuania, Norway, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the UK. 65+/- killed and 150+/- wounded in knife attacks. This is just a snapshot of violent crime in Europe in recent years.

The only thing your strict gun laws have done is disarm the good guys; you're stripped ordinary people of the most effective tools of self-defense. You've also selective bred out the survival and self-reliance gene from most of your population. Europe doesn't believe in natural rights - the few countries that pay lip service to it have long since criminalized self-defense. Our politicians would like to do the same but we take a dim view of government trampling on our God given, unalienable rights, especially when we can look at you and know, unquestionably, that surrendering freedom to big government doesn't keep anyone safe.

America isn't Europe, by design. We like that. We have no desire to be Europe. We'll be keeping our guns thank you very much.

I have a question for Americans who are pro guns.

Why is there never an answer for when someone asks why does this only happen in America?

Because I live in a country that has pretty strict gun laws, and we listen to american music, play video games, watch porn, watch violent movies/tv shows, read comic books, don't go to church much, have people with mental health problems, have people that do drugs, have people whose parents are divorced, have multiple doors in our schools... And no school shootings.

So, if you think it's not guns, what is it then?

Some lesser-known facts about Bastian Bosse

He was kept down two years in school, leading him to graduate from GSS in 2006 rather than 2004.

After his graduation, he worked in a hardware store.

He lived with his parents, younger siblings and grandparents in a three-storey house.

His grandfather died of lung cancer in 2005, with it being reported that Bastian was his favourite grandchild.

Bastian drove a black Opel Astra, his grandmother's car. This was also the car he drove to GSS on the morning of the shooting.

Bastian once asked his uncle for an air-rifle to which his uncle responded: "You can have anything but that". Bastian's uncle told his father afterwards: "Something is wrong with the boy".

In June 2001, Bastian had a hot key pressed into his hand by some bullies. This incident led to the headmaster filing a report, but nothing was done further than that.

Bastian was nicknamed "Matrix man" or "Psycho", due to his style of clothes.

Whilst discussing killing sprees, one teacher who knew Bastian stated prior to the shooting that: ‘If anyone does something like that here, it's Bastian. I wouldn't put it past him if he continues to develop like that.’.

Bastian's parents were brought into the school during mid-2005, to which they stated that Bastian was normal at home, but spent too much time on his computer.

Another teacher that taught Bastian was glad when he left GSS, stating after the shooting that "We thought we'd finally got rid of him.".

Bastian never played counter-strike online, despite much of the media blaming the shooting on the game. He himself stated that he only mapped for the game instead of playing it with others.

Bastian's favourite film was Halloween H20, with his other favourites including Forrest Gump, Bang Bang You're Dead, Bowling For Columbine and the 4th, 5th and 6th Star Wars films.

He also owned 17 DVDs and 20 videotapes.

Bastian was a big fan of the Halloween films, with his MSN username being "Halloweenkiller2", him having a Halloween poster on his bedroom wall, and listing Halloween films amongst his favourite films, and the films he had most recently seen.

He also made a video called "HalloweenX" with his friends sometime in early 2004.

Bastian had been scheduled to go to court on the 21st November 2006, as he had been reported by a group of people for threatening them with one of his gas pistols.

Various clips of Bastian Bosse's videos linked in his multimedia manifesto. This manifesto was posted to the WeKillEmAll forums the morning of the Emsdetten shooting.

[wrathofresistantx]

Timeline of the Emsdetten School Shooting

9:20am – 18-year-old Bastian Bosse leaves his car in the “immediate vicinity” of the Geschwister Scholl-Schule (GSS). Before driving to the school, he posted a zip file of his manifesto to the WeKillEmAll forums, as well as wrote in his diary: "That's it!".

He enters the school grounds and begins firing indiscriminately at oncoming students and teachers.

A teacher is wounded in the face by a smoke bomb thrown at her

Three students are injured by gunfire

A 55-year-old caretaker is shot in the stomach with a sawed-off Burgo .22 bolt action rifle

Bastian encounters his younger brother during the shooting. His brother asks him “What are you doing” to which Bastian moves on into the school.

After entering the school through the main entrance, Bastian shot a group of students, injuring one by gunfire. He also injures two 10 and 12-year-old students on the first floor of the building.

9:30am – Police are first notified of the shooting via an emergency call and immediately make their way to the school.

Teachers and staff had already started evacuating students from the building, with over a dozen students, both from the GSS and neighbouring school calling the police to report the incident.

9:34am – Police first arrive to the school and find the injured caretaker at the main entrance. They then move towards Bastian, who has moved onto the second floor of the building. As Bastian had set off numerous smoke bombs during the shooting, entry into the school is difficult.

Bastian then retreats into a classroom where he sets off a molotov cocktail, before shooting himself in the head with a sawed-off Ardesa percussion rifle.

9:58am – The first special operations command force arrive at the school, with them immediately attempting to enter the school

10:36am – The special command force manages to enter the second floor of the building that was heavily obscured by smoke. They find Bastian’s body, alongside the aforementioned percussion and bolt action rifles, an Ardesa caplock pistol and numerous self-made pipe bombs. Other explosive devices were also found around Bastian’s body.

Emergency services wait for a bomb defusal unit to arrive before approaching further as it was initially unclear if Bastian had shot himself or had been killed by detonating one of the bombs that was attached to his body due to the extensive damage to his face from the gunshot.

10:43am – Police find further explosive devices within the school, all of which were self-made pipe bombs. The neighbouring school is then searched as a result.

5:00pm – A bomb defusal unit arrived at the school, where they search Bastian’s car, as well as four residential buildings and the classroom which Bastian was found. Bastian’s body is then removed from the building by the defusal unit.

A later search of Bastian’s house and garage found further evidence of Bastian making and creating bombs to use in the shooting.

In total, 37 people were injured during the shooting, with Bastian being the only fatality:

6 were injured by gunfire

1 teacher was injured by a smoke grenade

16 police officers suffered smoke inhalation

14 suffered from shock

An unknown amount of people were treated at the scene by an emergency tent set up by the fire department. 62 people were also noted as being cared for as a part of police care procedures, including Bastian's family.

Three photos of Bastian Bosse's yearbook photo. These were taken with his friend Julius, who was his closest friend and a member of his T.A.S.T.E airsoft team. After the shooting he moved away from Emsdetten, as he was so shocked that Bastian committed the shooting.
