At no stage do they say in the article that KMFDM made him do it. The link to columbine and that band is not the focus of the article, it is only mentioned very briefly. It is mentioned because columbine copycats are common and people like to have information about the motivation of these killers. I see no attempt to legitimise any theory about what causes violent behaviour other than linking it to bullying.
Moments before a 17-year-old unleashed gunfire at Iowa’s Perry High School, killing a sixth grader and wounding five other people, the student is believed to have posted a foreboding TikTok video.
On the morning shooter Dylan Butler opened fire, a TikTok post believed to be from the shooter shows him the inside a school bathroom posing with a blue duffel bag, captioned: “Now we wait.”
Butler – who also died amid Thursday’s horror, a law enforcement official told CNN – “made a number of social media posts in and around the time of the shooting,” said Mitch Mortvedt, assistant director of the Iowa Department of Public Safety Division of Criminal Investigation. “Law enforcement are working to secure those pieces of evidence,” he added.
It's 1/4th of the focus of this post, the fact that he used it on a tik tok is the other 3/4ths, so technically it is 4/4ths. Why include it in the article at all if they don't want to focus on it? Could have posted:
But they didn't, they chose to push focus towards his "unsavory" music choices.
