This is not true

According to the movie school shootings: america's tragedy he killed one student, Manuel, first, and THEN the algebra teacher. He told this to the police. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.120.73.21 (talk) 06:38, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Taking a movie, to get info, and know the truth, that's really weird. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.91.51.235 (talk) 03:09, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Contradicting Statement

This Wikipedia article states "As his classmates began to panic, Loukaitis reportedly said, "This sure beats algebra, doesn't it?", a supposed quote from the Stephen King novel Rage."

The Wikipedia article on King's Rage states that this was not a quotation. There is also small discussion about the topic on the the talk page.

I have never read Rage and therefore have no clue which is true; I just thought I should point this error out.

Barry's resentencing chance at parole

Barry's father has told me that Barry was given a chance at parole after 80 years at his resentencing. He said that he is not exactly 100% certain of that since he never read the Judge's paperwork on the sentencing. He thinks he heard it from Barry. The media also never reported this (if it is true). I can't find the entire record of the hearing anywhere. I was wondering if anybody could back this up.Bjoh249 (talk) 04:57, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Loukaitis was not a mass murderer

Loukaitis killed three people. The FBI via Wikipedia’s own page, describes mass murder as someone who kills four or more people.Bjoh249 (talk) 06:25, 4 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's one person difference, doesn't make a big one. "Mass murder" is probably more about the method used.

Schizophrenia??

Can anyone give a citation on that? Bjoh249 (talk) 06:32, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I attended some of the Seattle hearings as a language student in 1997. I can't remember all the details. But "schizophrenia" was indeed one of the arguments made by the defense. The defendant was not said to have suffered from this illness, but it was argued a couple of times - also by the prosecution - that his mother suffered from it.

("Schizophrenia" as a vocabulary definitely came up a couple of times in the trial, both as far as he was concerned and as far as his mother was concerned.) My diary will certainly not be a source to be referred to in Wikpedia; therefore, this is more of an anecdotal commentary Kakue (talk) 23:03, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why Vella?

Why did he want to kill "only Manuel Vella"? I don't understand this article, it doesn't explain why. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.91.51.235 (talk) 03:07, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

what's his ethnicity?

because of he's surname 2A02:587:BE6E:D400:51A1:C705:77EE:F1AC (talk) 11:54, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The surname Loukaitis has Greek origins, so he possibly has Greek ancestry 119.74.65.37 (talk) 12:26, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
