Its all because guns, if he didnt have one he wouldnt have killed anyone.
Otherwise he would have been happy, baked cookies and offered them house to house.

America needs to ban guns because of things like this. This could never have happened in Brita...wait a minute.

(not slagging the Brits at all, just the Yankees who say things like that)

WRONG it's not because of the gun. A few people in China started a trend to slash kindergarten children using knife resulting in some death .

The world bears too much pain and it's all ****ed up. If you haven't got something to hold on to, you would likely be either carried away to follow the trend of ****ed up people or gone mad.

In this part of the world (region). . .
I'm seeing villains praised and very much respected, I'm seeing rule of law becoming a hypocrisy and a hindrance to justice, I'm seeing policemen who are the criminals, I'm seeing the convenient of the one stepping over the rights of many, I'm seeing people lying all the time and thinking it was smart, I'm seeing murderer who is proud of his deeds and who becomes addicted to killing.

Fewer and fewer people see goodness and kindness as a strength and think of them as weakness. Just last week I've been told to let go of my idealism. For what? For being idealistic?
Besides I never considered myself an idealist. Funny how people who demanded this of me never be able to show me the strength of their argument and when I showed mine and not by mere words they just repaid it with largely ignorance.

People are forgetting to love one another. If people knew where we all end up they'll. Most people haven't realized that despite the seeming differences we are ALL very much alike in the inside and that we are each a part of the other at least in the bigger picture.

And come to think this is now the 21st century and that people get decent education nowadays but the quality of the people from the lowliest places to the highest of places are tumbling down than even a few decades ago. Something is definitely wrong and is very wrong. If the society keeps on regressing civilization will collapse at least civilization as we know it and that's how I perceive it. And no I'm not having end of the world syndrome but this is my honest observation and assessment of the part of the world where I live.

Why did the BBC have put on a 45 minute special on? Once again the TV news in this country stoops to a new low, nothing like turning this swine in to a celeb, right BBC.

Experts giving their opinions without any hard facts.

Its the victims that count who were on the receiving end of this crazy gunman, not him!

Oh, the media loves a drama story Steed, surely you've learnt that by now?
I dread to think what will be banned by our overzealous caretakers now as a result of this. Let's hope the guy never played GTA...

On a less political note, condolences to the victims and let's hope that the injured people pull through alright.
