I just learned about the awful, awful news regarding James about an hour ago. There are so many things that I’d like to say, but don’t know how to put into words given my current mental state. I realize this is a very controversial topic, and I must be careful about how I word this. I’d like to make it clear that I am aware of the plot that was so intricately planned, and understand how gruesome and horrifying it truly is for those who live in that area. But that is not my only focus with this post. 

It’s very hard to make sense of an event like this when it involves someone that you know. I am still trying to wrap my head around it. Especially when a plan to take so many lives was supposed to take place. I am still unclear of the details, and encourage those who do know more about the event to message me and enlighten me. 

However, the only thing I can really think about right now is the fact that someone I knew took his life today. I understand how angry some people are with him, and understand how real those feelings are. I cannot express how incredibly thankful I am that the shooting did not take place. My heart goes out to you all.  But I just ask everyone to understand how his friends and loved ones must feel. Please be kind, and understand that there are people grieving. This is the beginning of a very dark period for some, and seeing hurtful words regarding the matter will make it much worse. 

Please do not blame any specific blog, blogs that express interest in Columbine, or the crime community. No one is to blame here, and pointing the finger will not make this any better. Forgiveness is a wonderful thing and will get you much farther than hatred. Do not be spiteful. 

I will make a better post once I have my wits about me, and learn more about the situation. I just felt as if writing this in the meantime would be the right thing to do. Once again, please do NOT send hate to anyone during this time or post bitter comments. This is heartbreaking for those who knew him and those who live in his community. Do not blame the friends and family of James and the other’s involved. No one knew this was going to happen. For most this is just a loss of someone who was once close to them, and possibly the discovery of a much darker side to that person. 

Rest In Paradise, man. I cannot express how truly sorry I am to hear about this. 

are you fucking kidding me?? this is obviously a fucking terrorist act!!!!!! this is so bias smh theyre just saying this cause the news is so sympathetic to white people ughhhhhhh they literally believed murder was ok and worshipped columbine/nazism/etc and formed a group and planned to kill people and youre going to tell me this isnt fucking terrorism? smfh

i can’t believe he’s dead… its just all surreal. its so crazy, the night he died i saw him post that adam lanza post and i thought it was quite cool, the very next day (yesterday) i come back from school and find out he killed himself. i started following him on tumblr because he posted something about adam lanza and now the last thing he posted is of adam lanza. RIP james. 

I just realized, but this whole thing about shallow-existences and the other kids plans to attempt mass murder are going to be a huge blow to True Crime community (it’s not a fandom, those are “Columbiners” and “mansoners” or whatever). We spend so much time telling people that we aren’t to be feared, that we just have an objective interest in crime.

Now what how will they be treating us? You already saw how the media reacted when TJ Lane escaped. It’s not like we broke him out. So now what?

Excerpts from an ABC website post (I'm not using quotations for it; it's directly from their site and I claim no ownership to any of it. "*" is used where I added something )

"My granddaughters ran around with Lindsay," she said. "Lindsay was a little strange. I think at one point she went kind of gothic on us for a while. She liked to dress in black, the whole gothic style."
*(Cockswastika, actually a dear heart)

"He was one of those people who kept to himself, not a people person," said the 19-year-old’s neighbor, Steven Greenwood.
*(shallow-existences, our deceased friend and fellow true-crime enthusiast, a dark and interesting soul)

The suspects used a chat stream and were apparently obsessed with death and had many photos of mass killings, said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publically.
*(Honestly I wish society didn’t see that as so terrible, because they undoubtedly will; many people are interested in things of that nature and that does not in any way, shape, or form make them a bad person or a person who is planning to kill)

Everybody is saying that shallow-existence was a good person when in reality he was gonna kill people but got caught not to mention he was racist as fuck towards blacks, possibly even Mexicans.

cool. i dont give a single fuck lol

It’s just so weird to me that someone who I saw regularly online, someone who followed me and reblogged me quite often was legitimately planning out a mass shooting with another person I would see online a lot too. It’s really a serious mindfuck. And now I’m looking at all the articles on it and almost everyone in the public comments think this was about them being Muslims or something completely irrelevant. Meanwhile all of us on here know everything. And now the person who once followed me - is dead. And we had no idea about this plot this whole time. So weird man.

Hey, I agree with everything you are saying about shallow-existences and dylananderic except I just have to let you know that James wasn't the one who tipped off the police. Nothing is confirmed but everything the police are saying is going completely against it and that theory only came from biased viewpoints. As a person with a neutral standpoint who has gone over the evidence I thought I'd just correct you as its not real good for misinformation to be spread, especially at a time like this

Yeah, that was what I was initially told, then it was reported that it came from someone else.  I don’t want misinformation to be spread either, but the way people are acting about this whole thing isn’t right.  I keep seeing the word “martyr” being thrown around.  I never said he was a martyr of any kind, but he’s gone now and that’s that.  Whatever happened, you have people who are arguing just for the sake of arguing or wanting to appear right.  And that during a time like this is wrong.  Then you have people who are just flat out hateful and immature.  I don’t want to answer any more asks pertaining to this, because it’s not my place.  

So the press conference in Halifax there just confirmed the two individuals in detention Lindsay Kantha Souvannarath and Randall Steven Shepherd. And obviously James Gamble is the deceased co-conspirator. So good call this time round on the tipper, but for future reference when tumblr users are throwing round mock up graphics with their urls threatening mass murder, don’t assume it’s a joke and make sure to tell somebody. You could save lives, like in this case.
