Just saw on CNN they raised the count of children killed.

Jesus Christ

Kindergartners. 4-6 year old little kids. Damn.

SVP is pretty emotional right now with the opening of his show.

This is really fucked up. I wouldn't have any problem paying a school secuirty tax so we can have armed guards in our public schools. This isn't a gun thing either. If I was there I would've killed that SOB real quick.

What is crazy is the schools in that area are on lockdown at that time so the person had to get buzzed into the building. They are saying it's likely a parent of a kid at the school.

24 year old piece of shit.

This stuff is terrible for this country.

Poor kids man.

Also gun control is fucking stupid, let's take away the good guys way of protection so the bad guys can hit up the black market and still do what they do.

I just heard that the guy was 20, his brother is 24 and in custody. The shooter killed his own mother then went to the school and killed an entire kindergarten glass

Damn shame. R.I.P. to the children and staff killed,

I can't even begin to comprehend what goes on in the heads of these fucks. I just know people are getting crazier everyday. How many massacres is that in the last 10 years in countries not Africa?

and here comes the gun debate again unfortunately. A bunch of wasted news time debating something that can't be changed anyway..and that more than likely the majority would oppose.

This is totally fucked up.

My only thought on something like this is man, I hope hell is real and exists. That's all I can say

RIP to all the innocent

Its wrong to kill people. Its so fucking unreal to kill a child. Fuck that guy. He will burn for all eternity.

I heard Obama was almost in tears when addressing this.

Obama knows what season it is...

The shooter's picture has just surpassed John Wayne Gacy's clown pic as the most creepy picture of a murderer i've ever seen. Bowl cut, looks like a 12 year old, killed over 20 kids.

also regarding Freaks pic...thats very clutch of her and it's a shame someone that selfless was killed.

+1 She is a true hero.

I dont think there is an easy fix. Schools have tons or rules about strangers coming and processes for emergencies. We can't turn every school into a prison because there are fucked up murders in this world. It'd be too expensive and overkill.

Even if guns were illegal it would be so easy to get a gun. In Australia we aren't allowed to have guns like in the states yet we have heaps of shootings. I could get a gun illegally tomorrow if I wanted one.

Rates of Gun violence is much higher in the US.

Not saying the legality of guns is the sole reason for it being higher. But your argument here does not hold water.

That's because you have more fucked up people there.

Morgan Freeman chimes in and includes a bit of 2nd amendment support.


"You want to know why. This may sound cynical, but here's why.

It's because of the way the media reports it. Flip on the news and watch how we treat the Batman theater shooter and the Oregon mall shooter like celebrities. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are ho
...usehold names, but do you kn
ow the name of a single victim of Columbine? Disturbed people who would otherwise just off themselves in their basements see the news and want to top it by doing something worse, and going out in a memorable way. Why a grade school? Why children? Because he'll be remembered as a horrible monster, instead of a sad nobody.

CNN's article says that if the body count "holds up", this will rank as the second deadliest shooting behind Virginia Tech, as if statistics somehow make one shooting worse than another. Then they post a video interview of third-graders for all the details of what they saw and heard while the shootings were happening. Fox News has plastered the killer's face on all their reports for hours. Any articles or news stories yet that focus on the victims and ignore the killer's identity? None that I've seen yet. Because they don't sell. So congratulations, sensationalist media, you've just lit the fire for someone to top this and knock off a day care center or a maternity ward next.

You can help by forgetting you ever read this man's name, and remembering the name of at least one victim. You can help by donating to mental health research instead of pointing to gun control as the problem."

This shit is so sad, really bums me out trying to read about what's haapening there.

In truth I try not to pay much attention. News in general. One travesty after another, and still so many more unreported. World can be a rough place.

Another view point that focuses on mental illness, and not gun control, while also taking a jab at the US prison system.

I split the topics, I might have missed a post or two or included one I shouldn't have.

I passed this along to a few people. There are other stories out there of other heroes. One teacher had her kids stacked up in the bathroom and wouldn't even let the police in saying if they were really the police then they could get access to a key. Some truly brave people there.
