A 16-YEAR-OLD student who had threatened "to kill the whole school'' stabbed three students and a janitor at a vocational school in northern Finland.

All four victims were seriously injured but were in stable condition in a local hospital. Their condition was not life-threatening, Police Sergeant Tommi Tikka said.

Deputy Police Chief Arto Karnaranta said they had arrested the suspect at the college in the town of Oulu, 600 kilometres north of the capital, Helsinki. Mr Karnaranta said the suspect admitted to the stabbings but did disclose a motive.

Three of the victims were aged 15 to 20 years, police said. The male janitor was aged 20-21. Police did not give exact ages.

Mr Karnaranta said police had no warning of the attack but that the suspect had made threats against the school in February.

"He had, on a games page on the internet, expressed the idea that he would carry out a school shooting at some stage ... saying that he would 'kill the whole school' if he had a gun,'' Mr Karnaranta told reporters. He said police found no weapons at the time.

Mr Karnaranta said police had questioned the boy and his family about the February threat but released him after being assured that he had made it on a whim and did not mean what he said.

Comment by Less Prone on October 12, 2013 at 8:59am: These are the symptoms of a sick society appearing in countries where the manufacturing and industrial activities are being driven down on purpose in Europe and North America. This is done by moving the industrial activities mainly to totalitarian China and keeping the Euro and Dollar on an artificially high exchange rate. Decades ago we were told about the future information age and the post-industrial society which is today's reality. People are confronted by gloomy prospects of unemployment or such work opportunities as the STASI type spying on your neighbors, police, army, barber, fast food worker, taxi, prostitution, corporate media propagandist, civil servant, marketing imported goods, or the like, but seldom manufacturing or any kinds of activities producing something for export. Societies are driven down to moral decadence and unemployment with people increasingly sick, helpless, and dependent of the state. That on other words is communism or George HW Bush's communitarianism.

Same kind of atmosphere existed in the nineteen thirties when people were prepared for the world war two. Apathetic, helpless human flock is a precondition for a controlled stampede to another horrendous war to cut down the population, war profiteering, looting natural resources and putting the remaining people to debt slavery of the global bankers under the High Cabal, Commission of 300 or Olympians, however you like to call them. We are living in a time before another world war that is already partially on going.
