Report: MUSHROOMHEAD T-Shirt Found In Mallshooter's Car

According to The Associated Press, a black t-shirt for the band MUSHROOMHEAD was found in Robert Hawkins' car after the Westroads Mall shootings in Omaha, Nebraska, according to a report filed today by the Omaha police. Some of the Ohio band's songs are "Kill Tomorrow" and "Embrace the End".

Hawkins shot 11 people and killing eight before killing himself on December 5.

Police say they found one full box of 20 bullets for the AK-47 Hawkins used and one nearly full box with 14 bullets.

Police also seized a 3-inch throwing knife and a 3-inch folding knife.

On Thursday, police filed reports on two other searches done after the shooting.

Police said they seized a spiral notebook from Hawkins' room at the Kovac house, but did not say what was in the notebook. Police also found two empty boxes of bullets for the AK-47 Hawkins used. They also seized a glass marijuana pipe.

Well, if they fill impressionable teens with gory or sexy images and lyrics (Which they certainly DO), its going to have an EFFECT, whether intentional or NOT! So, I think there is certainly reason to put some of the blame on the metal.... I can tell you from experience that young adults listen to the mesages they get from the media, like the time that my at the time 13 yr old "best friend" ambushed me (without warning) with a Karate kick to the side, the day after watching "Billy Jack", for instance!

Btw, remember the Virginia Tech shooter? You wanna know what HIS music of choice was? Collective Soul.

Remember those 90's alternative pop hits like "Shine" and "December" and all those? Yep, that's what his favorite band was!

Was it an influence? Dunno. Probably it's more "newsworthy" when an extreme music band gets tied in to a heinous act. More people would agree that this guy had issues than just that the guy happened to be a fan of more cutting edge metal because he owned a t-shirt of the band. Why aren't more lawsuits going on against bands like these and Marilyn Manson and others?

Religion has caused more death and violence than all heavy metal bands combined.
