I for one hope he is alive and well when they put him away, and that the people he showers with have enough sense not to make it quick with a shiv, but slow and painful.

They usually do such deeds in the rec yard when the blood is good and flowing of course a person such a that they will place in protective custody with the x cops,child molesters and the guys that ratted on their gang.

So sad. I just want to leave work right now, pick my kids up from school, and hug them. :cry:

My thoughts and prayers go out to the families.

At the moment, they are now saying that 18 of the 27 dead are children.

:nope:

Heartbreaking.

According to one of the news networks the attacker "was not a stranger" to the school not sure what that means,former employee,volunteer something of this nature.

It was only one person and he either killed himself or the police did right now they just say dead at the scene.

From what I read the First shooter was the son of the teacher in the classroom.

He walked in and shot his mother, and then opened fire on the class. :nope:

The shooter was the son of one of the teachers there, of course he had to shoot his mom then started shooting everyone else. At least he is dead.

I think the reporters ask the most ignorant questions sometimes, they were talking to a parent, and they asked him what he was thinking as he raced to the school to find out if his daughter was ok (she was thank god)

WTH do you think he was thinking about!?! About stopping and getting a burger on the way!?!:88)

I agree eddie, some reporters just ask the most dumb questions. I believe the guns were registered to his mother. I also heard he shot his father as well.

I can somewhat understand killing his parents if they had done something wrong to him, but there is no way that those kids in the school did anything wrong to him. It's time's like these I hope there is a Hell, so people like this can rot for an eternity in it.

How easy it to obtain a rifle of that calibre that bastard used, I mean is that easy that while you are out doing your weekly shopping you think "ah I think I will add a assault rifle to my shopping list this week". Because hardly a month goes by without some maniac going on a killing spree in the States.

eddie 12-14-12 04:18 PM

This picture says it all I think, about what happened today.

The problem sometimes lies, not with the shops providing access to assault rifles, but the parents not securing said rifle enough. In this instance it is alleged that the rifle was registered to the gunmans mother, who no doubt went through a fairly strict routine to gain access to it, but it was not her who conducted the shooting spree.

Furthermore, unless you are able to telepathically read a persons mind, then it's quite possible to fib your way through a gun permit test, and get your gun.

Besides, even if they reban Assault rifles, it's not going to stop people using pistols for these kind of rampages, it might lower the body count a little but it won't stop it from happening. Even if you ban guns altogether, the proliferation of weapons in America means that the old saying regarding catapults will come into effect (if you outlaw catapults, only outlaws will have catapults).

EDIT: Oh, and not to make light of this, but someone should start the stopwatch until a media outlet reports that this gunman liked to play Call of Duty or some other FPS. Wait...just wait...

I don't know what to say. Saw it on a TV at the bank on the way home. So sad.
