holy hell
This kid had a lot of issues. He expressed that in this flash. It would have been better if he had left it on the flash (obviously), but he didn't. It sucks when this happens.
WHEN YOU FEEL BAD, PUT IT ON NEWGROUNDS!!!!!!!!!
Reviews for ""Target Practice""
It's ok animation, not as good as Sqeezy, but okay
I think it's just that I have a fascination with media that is dispensed by dead authors. It's why I like Nirvana, and why I started watching Livecorpse's movies now. I don't think that this video really had any kind of foreshadowing to his eventual killing spree, though it does pretty much suggest that he was extremely frustrated. Before I try to delve into the man's psyche and try to dissect this film for any clues as to find out what was going on in his broken personality, here is the link to his livejournal that was posted on thesmokinggun dot com
(nevermind, I can't put URL in reviews, but his lj name was weiss.)
The first target was a girl, so that is a direct hint that he was rejected by women, and knew he was never going to find love. The thing he didn't understand was that just because you have a girlfriend, that does not necessarily mean you are loved. For instance, I myself have been in a few relationships, but I had only two girlfriends, and I really only loved one of them, and unfortunately that was the one who didn't love me back. The first one did love me back, but I was uninterested, so love stinks and you can't win.
The next target was just some random person who was standing there. He wasn't attacking, and he wasn't really running away. He was dead before he even had a chance to be seen. Maybe that's how he felt about himself, like he was dead before he even had a chance to be born. I have read his lj posts, and they are depressing as fuck.
The next one is a guy chilling on a park bench, shot through the chest. Jeff thought of himself as that way too. He (the author's picture) looked overweight, so he probably thought that he was a worthless, useless, lazy, perferted, waste, like that guy who was sitting on the park bench, doing nothing. So that was another part of himself that he wanted to erase. Not fix, not, not help, but erase.
He blew up the cop car because didn't want anyone else's help. He didn't want any outside influences to tell him what to do, or how to be, because all of those other influences turned out to be nothing but trouble for him. Everyone who tried to help him turned into one huge clusterfuck of counterproductivity, so he wasn't going to have any of that.
He killed the KKK guy because he was too tired of not being accepted by the Nazi's for being not of the Aryan descent himself. The kid had a lot of hate inside of him, and he needed some kind of support group to tag along with, but the only people who he could really associate with were probably very harshly against him. He had to do it. Also, he was probably aware that most of us on Newgrounds hate racists, so it was probably a way to raise some points on the score.
(Dehydrated Mexicans was NOT racist. It was just taken the wrong way. Everyone missed the point of that cartoon by a good five hundred miles. Besides, I made it like five years ago, so get over it.)
Finally, the shooter kills himself because he realizes that the odds impossible to overcome. When you kill off one problem, several more inevitably crop up in their place, so the only way to rid himself of the scum of the Earth for once and for all was to kill himself, ending the world that existed in the five inch world between his ears.
woah
did a good job but im sorry.........you fucked up and now your dead
its ok.
dun know if its directly related to that masacre thing..
but its just a plain flash of a guy killing others. and himself..

didnt leave any effect on my life, especially after knowing what was "related to".
the animation is ok.
the sound is crap.
the style is near 0. nothing new.

Thanks to this kid all of the people who do viloent movies or cartoon shorts are now going to be placed under a microscope and examined now. This is a community of people who come together and laugh because we can all relate one way or another to the dark humor, but if this grabs enough media attention - somebody is going to have to make a move to make themselves look good to their superiors, or the nation and the most half assed and likely step they will take would be to ban violence in internet media or games. Why? Because its the easy way, the American way out. Either that or I'm parinoid, whatever.
