I also have shocking video of a Czech journalist yelling at Kozak, “shoot at me”, but need to see how to share it from the Telegram.
Listened to the interview with a Russian student of philologist faculty (at 3d floor, one floor below the gunman). She too said, “we were shocked. Nothing like this ever happens in Czech Republic”.

I had to log into Twitter to watch it (before you log in it says, video doesn’t exist)

A journalist (Jiři Forman) tried to attract the attention of the shooter. yelling “shoot at me”. And at one moment, the shooter indeed paid attention to him. The policeman says, what are you doing? Forman says, “what can I do? There are people everywhere”

IF he is also responsible for the deaths of the man and infant daughter ... I have no words.
Suffice it to say DK was already pretty much 'dead' inside.
Rest in peace to the man and his little baby.

Whether he was shot by police, or suicided himself, or fell/jumped from the building -- why can't these types start with themselves before hurting people who have done no wrong to them ?
Better yet -- get yourself professional help and maybe be grateful for what you have in life ?

It sounds like he lived w/his father whom he also murdered ?
At 24 DK was old enough to get a job and move out if he didn't like his dad.
Maybe DK was a long term injustice collector.
A loser looking for his 15 minutes.

Part of me wishes he'd been taken alive (I don't know what the sentence would be for him for a crime of this magnitude, in the Czech Republic ?); but I am not that sorry he has passed, esp. if the sentence would've seen him freed at some time ?
Idk about the justice system in the CR.
People like him are often beyond the point of being able to walk freely amongst the rest of us !
Permanently evil.
Imo.
Omo.

First, as he said, he wanted to kill someone. He enjoyed it. This is why. I do believe he is manic, btw.

Second, he now enters Wikipedia. There are plenty of good people who try to help, all their lives, and they don't deserve a line in Wiki. This one does, for sure/s. I have mentioned what I call "Herostrates" or "Herostratus syndrome". The term exists, but I came to it on my own, btw. Serendipity always indicates there is some truth in it.

Herostratus - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

My idea: we cannot do anything with these fame-seekers. But this incessant glorifying of the murderers by the press should stop.

And, to remember Ancient Greece...(I took it from APA publication, but the stories are well-known. They are about suicides, but could work here). "There is, however, good authority for the belief that in Thebes the person who committed suicide was deprived of his funeral rites; his name and memory were branded with infamy.....In Miletus, where an epidemic of suicide among young women threatened to disrupt the community, the magistrates passed a decree ordering the bodies of all virgins who took their own lives to be exposed naked in the market-place. "The passage of this law," says Plutarch, "not only inhibited but quashed their desire of killing themselves" and soon put an end to the suicide wave."

Maybe something similar? Exposing the bodies of naked mass shooters in public places would work? Posthumous humiliation, who the heck cares about these losers? 17 people killed and 10 maimed, and if Kozak killed a father and a child, even worse. Doesn't matter to him now, of course, but maybe others will be deterred? If they are caught alive - why not take their naked mugshots, for the world to see? They want to be viewed as heroic - should get this instead.

(And, throw them all out of Wikipedia, starting with the Columbine killers, please. Killers are killers).

Heartfelt condolences to all victims and their families.

Is anyone on this thread living in Prague?

I am from the Czech Republic, I live not far from Prague. It's unbelievable what has been happening in the Czech Republic lately, I don't understand it. It always saddens me when some unbalanced person takes the lives of people who have done nothing. And pity for their parents, I'm a mom myself, it must be terrible... Otherwise he would have received a life sentence here, unfortunately we don't have the death penalty.

Sending thoughts to your beautiful country today.

I’ve been to Prague several times such a beautiful city.
