Marilyn Manson Fears He’ll Be Blamed For Virginia Tech Massacre

April 19th, 2007 by Castina

MARILYN MANSON fears his music will be held responsible for the Virginia Tech massacre on Monday, similar to the way it was after the Columbine shootings in April 1999.

The kooky hitmaker says his music is going to come into question again as people look for someone to blame for the drama that unfolded on campus at the rural Virginia campus on Monday.

Following the Columbine shooting, groups claimed Manson’s dark and brooding music encouraged student fans to launch a killing spree at Columbine High School in Colorado.

“I was watching it in the same way that I can remember watching the TV when Columbine happened, and just seeing it take place as any other person would,” the shock rocker said in a BBC interview on Wednesday night.

“Then suddenly Columbine happened and my name got brought into it and I wouldn’t be surprised if my name got brought into this.”

he is so full of himself. No marilyn mason just because you believe you are a hardcore vampire doesnt mean you influence other people anymore. If im correct havent they already talked about a certain band or movie that the shooter was influenced by? and it wasnt marilyn manson. His career is down the drain… im sure he is just saying this shit to draw some attention to himself since he hasnt had any in a while. what a lame ass. he seems like such a douche bag nerd to me.

The people blaming Marilyn Manson for what happened at Columbine is total bullshit. Manson’s rights have been violated severely. He is an American citizen and deserves respect just like any other person deserves respect. Marilyn Manson is the only reason i am alive today. Without his music to turn to, i would have nothing. Before i was introduced to his music, i was very self destructive and suicidal. Manson’s music is a form of his self expression and since when is it illegal to speak your opinion and beliefs? To me, Manson is GOD. He is there for you through his music and knows what it’s like to go through hell and be criticized and fucked with. All you people who think Manson is to blame for Columbine or Virginia Tech, can go to Hell. And burn. Manson is very artistic and creative and doesn’t need to put up with bitches who talk shit on him for attention.

I understand Marilyn Manson very well at a time like this. Its only obvious that certain people such as magazines and Paarazzi want to make big bills in a crontraversy like this. Marilyn Manson is a well organized character and I am totally for him.

I don’t think he should be blamed completely for these shootings.. the people that participated in them were obviously lunatics in themselves. I say that because Marilyn Manson is a human being, not because I’m a fan. Personally, I find his lyrics rather disturbing and his trying to press his anti-Christ attitude on everyone else pisses me off. Anyway, I’m not dissing him or his fans, he’s just not my taste. Like I said, those kids must have been pretty fucked up in the first place to go on some killing spree.

But he does want to sell records you dumb piece of crap, so for his name to thrown in with all this BS is good for his sagging sorry ass of a career. Do you not see this you friggin retard? Plain and simple, he’d rather be in the press than not you genius.

And Samantha, your just a retarded stupid girl. You really sound stupid. Like a ranting little kid that just got her first Hanson cd. Take a pill and calm down you little beaver.

And some free advice, when trying to get your points across people, don’t write in ebonics or whatever language your trying to be so cool with. Its stupid, you look stupid and you honestly do not look cool at all. Unlike some of you, replies are more than welcome because im not afraid to defend my opinions. Marilyn Manson ’s music sucks!!! But most people know that anyway.

Lady Manson, grab a life you poser. Just by calling yourself ladymanson shows your not creative at all and a loser. Get a life, than post something.

Lilith, your a sweety! Very calm and literate. Good points.
