Schoolboy goes on stabling spree dressed as Slipknot drummer

A schoolboy in the South African town of Krugersdorp went on a stabbing rampage this morning. According to early reports he was allegedly dressed as Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison.

The as yet unnamed assailant stabbed a fellow pupil to death with a sword and also attacked two gardeners at Nic Diederichs Technical High School Captain Jacob Raboroko of the Johannesburg police told the Associated Press.

"He stabbed one of the schoolkids in the neck and he died," said Raboroko. "He then went further and stabbed a gardener in the back and another gardener in the face. They were taken to hospital in serious conditions."

The schoolboy, who was apparently high on drugs, claimed "Satan told me to kill the children", as he was taken into police custody.

I was wondering what a stabling spree was when i first saw the article.

That's pretty crazy, I'm not really sure what to say about it. I'm not being mean, but does the schoolboy have problems? <- it's a serious question.
Even if he was high on drugs, i didn't think it could drive you to do things like that.

This can only end in people claiming that metal is "evil", and it influences people to do terrible things like this. It's Judas Priest all over again.

Do people really understand satanism? Deary me! Satanism dosn't have "satan" telling you to do things!

God. I hate people who blaim "satan". If you're going to murder - be a man and accept the death penalty.

What a dick.

My deepest sympathy goes to the family of the dead child and the harmed people.

I suppose the Daily Mail have new targets? I can just see the headlines now...

But that is really some whacked out stuff, but just because he dressed up as Joey doesn't mean anything, look when the Cult horror movies came out...

Scream.

Saw.

People dressed up as certain characters and then went off on a killing spree.

Really whacked out stuff...

only be a matter of time before slipknots music and lyrics take the flak for this happening. Feel very sorry for the childrens families and friends. The kid uses satan as an excuse high or not!, its ridiculous how theses days kids/adults cannot help but find some lame excuse to justify their actions.

That made me laugh. Of course they wouldn't blame Jesus! They'd blame the kid's parents or they'd investigate the church, hoping to find an abusive priest or something.
Joey Jordison is the greatest drummer I've ever seen... he's pretty osm all around... I really hope bad shit doesn't happen to Slipknot. :( They're my favorite band.

Wow...

All I have to say is first off, my deepest thoughts and concern go to the victims and their families and anyone closely related to them. However my sympthay also goes out to Joey for the cloud this is going to put over his head.

I really hope that it doesn't come down to music vs society again. The whole "satanic" or metal is evil thing. I think if you look at it, the normal every-day person who listens to Slipknot won't be affected like that. But you add the already ILLEGAL drugs into the mix, then with the already brainwashed mind most likely, yeah your going to do it.

Music can alter your mood. Yeah. It's powerful. but IT wont make you stab anybody unless you are already the kind to do it and do things to further your psycho feelings.

Slipknot's lyrics are dark. But not to the point of justification of thinking they caused this.

Again my condolences go out to the victims and their families and to joey jordison and slipknot. May it all be ok.

This is such a sad thing... but the real tragedy is that a our whole subculture is going to come under fire now as evil and satanic.... Blaming this on Metal is an easy way out, people look for a way to explain something terrible like this...

The drugs were probably hallucenogenic, and from a dorky science perspective auditory (sound) hallucinations are common with drugs, so he probably 'heard' Satan....

But im sure we can all se the headlines now... Satanic Metal Group causes childs decent into drugs and murder!!

This is going to go from bad to worse

and dont worry too much about the bad press on emo and metal, because back in the day some dude killed a person because beatle lyrics tol him too... and the beatles are now historic greats, its just a media fad to blame contravercial bands...

They always blame something cliche like a band or satan! Just for once I want someone to say "I did it because I saw/read it in the news"
Then we could watch the press attack each other for their coverage of such issues.

Facts about the stabbing

I am from south africa and should just tell you that in our newspaper this morning it said that the kid had 4 masks with him!(joey,shawn,sid and corey!) and that he had corey's mask on when he killed the kid!

This just proves my point that music should not have a age restriction but an IQ restriction!

Jesus christ... That's awful. Although to the people blaming drugs; obviously this kid had some sort of mental problem before, and taking any kind of psychoactive drug would have screwed him up.
Can't really blame the metal either. Just because this kid chose a particular band member to dress up as (and obviously had some sort of hero worship going on) doesn't mean slipknot are satanic cult heads advocating stabbing sprees. ><
The Daily Mail's article will certainly be amusing, once it gets a hold of this story.

i think this guy was fucked up before he took the drugs tbh, although drugs mess up your mind, they wouldn't make people do anything like this.
he probably stabbed these people for the attention. I used to know someone who used to lie about everything just for a few minutes in the limelight (I know there's a difference between lying and stabbing but in this situation they're pretty much the same - but one has far worse consequenses)
now the Daily Mail are going to have a field day with this story about a fucked up kid who happens to like Slipknot (another dark lyrical band) to pick on to back up their claims about the whole Hannah Bond/MCR thing.
i think this sucks because Slipknot are an amazing band and now they're going to get bad press. Just because some psycho wore one of their masks whilst killing some dude. Why didn't he just wear a binliner or something instead?

R.I.P.

OMG.

What the fuck was he thinking?
This is only going to start the press off again that all kids who listen to anything 'dark' are suicidal or killers. Bleh.

I read the report from the african newspaper - the kid really wasnt dressed as joey jordison, apparrently he put on black makeup and wore a black ballaclava. Now last time i checked, joey has never wore anything like that - infact he has always had white masks... Newspapers need to stop finding crazy stories where there are none.

Lets just hope this psycho doesnt try this as a defense, he deserves a life in prison

Same shit different day

Firstly best wishes to those who have suffered at the hands of this idiot. Secondly shame, once more, on the fucking press for using the old 'X band made him/her do it', what utter crap. There's a long lineof more substantive reasons before music to really make someone do such things like parents, schooling, drugs, mental health, socio economic conditions etc... Its the same with video games, 'Grand Theft Auto made me kill a taxi driver.....'

Clearly this scum was not well, the very fact satan and drugs are mentioned in the story would, for me, be far more likely contributors as opposed to what now appears to be a very weak reference to a drummer of a particular band.

Either way people, in particular the press should realise that such cheap, lazy journalism does nothing but deflect from the core issues of such a crime just so they can sell more of their shit papers tom their even bigger shit head readers.

If only he had wandered around putting animals to bed.
Seriously though, here again we see mental illness being swept under the carpet and blamed on some black-clad bogeyman.

Sadly I predict that the reaction of many parents will not be that the kid has issues, but that metal music is evil and proceed to ban their kids from listening to it. Messed up, yes, but pretty much the usual reaction whenever a band or artist is linked to an atrocity.
I feel very sorry for the victims involved of course, and that it resulted in killing. Sadly the backlash will surely mount...

this kid obviously needed psychiatric help. i mean, yes music is powerful, but i've never even been tempted to grab a sword and stab people with it. the closest to violence i've ever got is when i danced like a loon to The Blackout and accidently smacked someone in the face.

to be fair this has nothing to do with emo
slipknot are metal and are not emo
so stop saying shit that this is going to make the emo matter worse
slipknot do not promote going around using drugs or killing other people
yes the lyrics may be violent but they done nothing to promote this
as for the use of joeys mask, maybe the kid adorded joey, you cant point the blame at anyone till you know the full story

Yeah but they Daily Mail or whatever won't know that. They'll just call Slipknot emo or satanic metal or something and worn parents that if their kid ever wears a Slipknot t-shirt it means they're gonna go on a killing spree any day now. besides, it was probably just a mask that looked similar to joey's, it would be quite possible if the guy had never even heard of Slipknot before.

This is just more proof that people=shit.

well they can't possibly blame joey for this..i mean it's not his fault some fucked up kid goes around stabbing people dressed as him is it.

that kid seriously has issues and the drugs and the kids mental state should be blamed not the music. the whole war on emo is bad enough but this is going to make things look ten times worse. one the kid was high on drugs which clearly makes it look bad and two slipknot arent emo which is going to make this whole 'war' spread to all kinds of rock music genres.

RIP to those who have fallen and lets hope joey can rise above the bad press he is going to get.

Hey Kelly!!
Sorry about the offend, but I it pisses me of that everybody blame the drugs!!!

I dont think thats its good to take drugs (as a kid). But you dont know why he took drugs and also which kind of drugs! ( I also dont know it)
I think drugs are something beatifull if you know your limits and the save use of the particular drug!!

Everything is unhealthy if yo exaggerate it!

The problem is that society thinks that drug are terrible just because its not allowed to use!

Do you think that if the boy was drunk he havent done this?

Oh and again sorry about the offend, I was a bit angry!!


May the wind always be on your back and the sun upon your face and may the winds of destiny carry you aloft to dance with the stars!

WOA!!

Once again, drugs and music are blamed for a singular individual’s psychosis!
(Not promoting narcotics here, it’s your choice anyway)
I guess the blame has to go somewhere! The parents of this kid, or the school (who’s responsibly to ensure the safety of the students), obviously won’t be saddled with it.
The next obvious choice for a scapegoat would be………..!
Getting a heavy deja- vu here! Can someone say Ozzy?
Ps. My sincere condolences to the people involved!

tollerance and misunderstanding

Everyday drive shootings happen, yet even though in my opinion they are glamourised by hip-hop music, this genre is not blamed this is because hip-hop is in the limelight at the moment. it is the popular sought! whereas once every couple of years a man kills some people and blames it on heavy rock. surely it is the person who kills the person not the music. i listen to slipknot everyday and they are going to be my highlight of reading and yet i have no urge to kill any one!
understand our music and tolerate it, dont hate the public hate the politians and those twats at the daily mail.

It's always been like this since that kinda music were first made. People fear what they can not understand, and they like to blame the music because it is so much easier than blaming theirselves or the society. I find it hard to believe that this will even change. It's easier to blame something that's being claimed to be "satanic" or "evil". I bet no one would ever blame techno or country music for suicides and stuff like that. It's just stupid. Just because some guys or girls play fast or scream, that doesn't mean they want people to die. There's a reason why I don't like human kind, and that's why. We're stupid.

oh well, thats really gonna help...

the press might have distorted this- besides if you actually look at joey's costume, he's dressed up as jesus. which has to do with religion and christianity (he said satan told him to do it), so i think he might of actually been dressed up as jesus not joey.

People = Shit

I seriously think this kid is fucked. I myself am a satanist, and this whole shit about "the devil telling him to kill someone" is bollocks! I have loads of friends who are and they've never heard anything like it. That kid was just mental man, and now everyone who follows Slipknot is going to get in absolute shit for this, and I really feel sorry for Slipknot and every other band who has been targeted like ths. The people who don't undertand will believe the lies and it's up to us, the fans to help Slipknot get through this. And the daily mails are just fuck ups (as we know)

Im's sorry but that kid is just... sit in the head and all. Drugs might not nessacerily be all to blame, but they probably played a part in the "satan told me to do it thing"


And I hate to rain on the people who say that Slipknot arnt satanic's parade, but in one of their tours, their backdrop is a massive pentagram. It doesnt mean they are Satanic, like 100% cus loads of my friends just have them for show, but people are obviously going to get ideas from it unfortunatly

I bet his mask didnt even look like Joeys anyway... it was probably some piece of shit with barbed wire on it.

And I wanna know how the fuck this kid got a freakin samari sword in school anyway???

RIP to the kid who was killed

(ps get well Joey hope your ankles get better soon)

Schoolboy stabbing

I read about this in the daily mail about 10 minutes ago and the stuck up paper is blaming slipknot for it!! the head of the kids school apparently said ' we know the wrong kinds of music and drugs have bad effects, young people need to be informed of the effects of bad satanic music' i cant believe it! me and mum have been fans of slipknot for about 7 years and their lyrics are not at all satanic, its just heavy. if they were would i have been allowed to listen to them at 14 yrs old? no! people like those at the daily mail need to sort out their closed and absent mindedness about music and realise its whats in peoples heads that cause them to do things like this, not the music they listen to. Slipknot were, are and will be one of the best bands on the planet for a long time to come.

its started already

here we go again... because some lunatic thinks that satan talks to him he goes on a nice killing spree.... already the daily mail are right in there, talking yet MORE lies for the enjoyment of the wankers who read that paper.

also, the photos of hannah bond were swapped in the article... the picture where she was 'emo' was a year and a half before her death, the picture of her with her hair down and straight was 2 weeks before her death.

the daily mail & the sun love to twist things, and sadly, slipknot have wrongly fallen under the blame for this guy's rampage and the death of a fellow pupil.... its just trajic now

Hey Kelly!!
Sorry about the offend, but I it pisses me of that everybody blame the drugs!!!

I dont think thats its good to take drugs (as a kid). But you dont know why he took drugs and also which kind of drugs! ( I also dont know it)
I think drugs are something beatifull if you know your limits and the save use of the particular drug!!

Everything is unhealthy if yo exaggerate it!

The problem is that society thinks that drug are terrible just because its not allowed to use!

Do you think that if the boy was drunk he havent done this?

Oh and again sorry about the offend, I was a bit angry!!


May the wind always be on your back and the sun upon your face and may the winds of destiny carry you aloft to dance with the stars!

Irresponsible reporting

As a South African following this ridiculous story, I feel compelled to point out that there is absolutely nothing to suggest that this deranged brat was dressed as a member of Slipknot. According to eye witness reports, he was wearing a black balaclava, and wielding a katana. Unless I'm horribly mistaken, that sounds like a ninja. And a really crap ninja at that, considering he was totally caught.

The Slipknot rumour was begun by a local "community leader" (read: pastor), who claimed the murder was the work of "the devil" and the fault of all this ghastly rock music the children are so into these days. Like, epic fail.

This is a complete load of SHIT
The MAD boy that went on this rampage OBVIOUSLY had mental health problems.It was just an unfoortunate coincidence that he was a slipknot fan.It is soo irritating to see such GREAT bands being blamed for mad phsycotic STUPIDITY.

Hmmm...

It's only a matter of time now until the media find out who Joey is, and then they say
"This violent act was brought on because of heavy metal band, Slipknot's, drummer, Joey...." Blah blah blah.

This was because of the kid.
Not Satan.
Not music.
Not Joey.
Not Slipknot.
Not drugs.

The guy needs help, because murdering is wrong.
But the media will once again ignore the murder, and attack Slipknot... like they already are!

ARGH!

At least we know the truth. =]

It was slipknots fault, for writing lyrics that angsty teens will listen too, and take seriously

Krugersdorp Samurai Killing

You guys might do good to go read the news on S.A. websites yourself. The media put the Satan spin on this whole story. As a matter of fact, the School's Principal alleges that the boy told him that "Satan told me to do it". He also allleges when he came to the kid the kid asked him what has happened? There's also no proof or allegation at this stage that any drugs were involved. Another thing is that the kid listened to, amongst other things, Slipknot. I think the media has a way of playing on people's emotions, and all of you are confirming their market research...

Pathetic. At least he didn't say that a Slipknot song told him to do it. But that doesn't matter to the daily mail. They'll twist it and make it out to be Slipknots fault. Like they did with MCR. We should hold a protest against daily mail.
Assholes.

How awful...

I feel sorry for both the students and their families, but I feel bad for Joey too! I'd hate to be seen as an icon, and then have that image ruined by some drugged up cunt. I can't imagine how Joey must feel, and with the new album so close too, it'd just ruin the hype of the release.

what a dick.

people like this make me laugh
"satan told me to do it"...
what a dick.
straight off, satan doesn't tell anyone to kill anything, because satan doesn't exist.
and even if he did, he's not the evil anti-christ that he's portrayed to be. he is SAINT Lucifer. he was sent down by "god" to rule the "underworld" for him. it was his duty.

it's like saying that i went out and knifed up some chavs with my misfits shirt on and concealed the weapon in my misfits bag, they'd say the misfits made me do it.
it's people like this dossbag that ruin it for the rest of us.

Sigh

Reporters tend to get things totally wrong. Firstly, this kid did not say that Satan told him to do it. Some where down the line, rumours broke out saying that he said that but its all bullshit.
And it's still uncertain if he was on drugs or not.
He was teased none stop while attending this school because of his height and how skinny he was. Apparently he had enough of 'people thinking it's all right to tease others on their appearance.'
Yes i do agree that it gives him NO right to go kill people and maybe he did have a problem as he never spoke to people about his feelings.
And on the other hand for dressing up like Joey, I don't think in anyway Joey will get bad press on this issue.

Slipknot

This kid has seriously taken life to seriously. Rock isn't about getting high and murdering people! Rock is about expressing your inner feelings through lyrics and music, I should know, I am a lyricist myself. Dressing up as someone famous is just soiling all that bands work! To say most famous people are arrogent, they don't deserve to be made to look like complete homicidle freaks in masks by some drugged up loser who needs to get a life!

Stupid Maggot!!

I'm pretty sure if Joey and/or Slipknot get blamed for this theres gonna be hundreds of angry maggots out side of The Daily Mail, not a great thing to be put up against really.........

RIP to the guys who died there.

But that stupid drugged up guy has brought a huge cloud over Joey and the rest of the band RIGHT before there 4th studio album is about to be released, if he was a real maggot he'd be excited for the new album and wouldn't want to bring any thing bad over Slipknot.

joey wouldn't give a shit, neither should we.

he was just another drug-taking psychopath and they were just victims. people die everyday, get over it you didn't know them, so why care? if someone wants to get high and go crazy usually they aren't stopped, he just took it further

and i saw yet another fucking mention of MCR, they're shit and completely irrelevant!

Ai ai ppl

I really think that slipknot is to blame on his...It's crap to me,music can change your mood yes...drugs can also make you do real stupid stuff...I've listened to that song and well it you can barely hear what they are saying,no offence to anyone.
But yeah everyone has their own opinion,that boy just needs serious fckn help coz its sick my heart goes out to the victims and families! and dont know where emo comes into the whole story but skip that! oh and btfcknway dont judge the music if you don't listen to it. we really getting sick of society judging ppl of what they wear or listen!

The killer knew what he was gonna do

you read it and its obvious, cos he carried a sword, as do other people who carry weapons, they have the intent to kill, unfortunatly the demented dude dressed as a slipknot member and killed those people and the blame will be on slipknot and metal.

I'll stand by slipknot and metal because they gave me joy, not sadness or anger, they made my life better.

I'll stand outside the daily mail if they blame them and metal.

R.I.P to the three killed.

Maggot and proud
