Amazing that this stuff happens, isn't it?

I am sad, horrified and sick. Those poor parents! You know they already had their christmas presents ready, and now....

And to the first person to politicize this: I will reach through the internet and shove your face into a wall.

Inb4 "If only those children had been allowed to carry automatic weapons."

(I'll go shove my own face, dipplayer. No need to exert yourself)

Yeah, amen to that last sentence.

I hope the gunman that - may have - lived through this will realize in time the wrong that he did and figure out what's wrong with his brain… people don't do that without having something seriously wrong, we all know that. I hope the children and faculty that were killed are remembered as heroes for protecting the rest of the schoolchildren and staff, giving their own lives in the process.

I hope the gunman fries.

there is 2 gunmen, one is dead, one is on the run Hope they find him and shoot him in the knees

wtf...makes me sick to my stomach...all I can do is picture my kids in that situation...

I volunteer to execute the living gunman. Slowly.

It is a sad week for America

apparenlty the other one was caught and as he was being led from the woods, looked at someone and said "I had nothing to do with this, and I didnt fire a shot"

Apparently a judge in California said that if kids really didn't want to be shot...their is a biological process that would have prevented it...so...you know...I'm just sayin'...

there, not their...

That seems a little low Krellin.

Christ, this is even more fucked up than I initially thought. Apparently the guy killed his mother, who taught there, and then went after her students, killing an entire class of 18 kindergarteners.

We all feed on tragedy
It's like blood to a vampire

Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
Much better you than I

can you link me to that your humble narrator?

I actually heard that from my sister, Jmo, so I can't confirm it as absolute fact and perhaps should have acknowledged as much. I will ask her whence she's getting her information.

This seems to corroborate much of it: http://kstp.com/news/stories/s2867002.shtml

Thank you, I just couldn't go search for a link at work.

Live ABC video coverage online...

WOW.

20+ dead, 18 children...that's just despicable...ANOTHER mass shooting...

Something in America's sick in a bad, bad way.

RIP

we are raising animals now. These 'people; that do this, have something very wrong with them.

I think we should avoid demonising kids. This generation is no more animalistic than the last or those before. The trouble is that you will always have people who just snap when under high pressure. When you combine this with the ease of causing extreme harm you will get such disasters.

I don't know if I've ever seen any President cry during a speech...

Wow.

You weren't around for Clinton, were you?

WHO 'DEMONIsed' the kids? I am blaming the parents here, not the kids. Kids are innocent of blame in my eyes.

smcbride...I really couldn't resist...and thought a bit of levity was needed. Besides, the levity only goes to highlight the douche bagginess of the aforementioned judge, who deserves it, as his statements and attitude are only an iota worse than murder...

As for this being some horrific condemnation of America...puh-lease...99.9999% of Americans are OUTRAGED, so let's not condemn the country for this.

For crying out loud, in the Middle East it is failure common for some asshole to strap a bomb on himself and blow up innocent people. Africa has how many "warlords" opr whatever running around killing and enslaving people, stealing the food and supplies from UN and other relief agencies, etc. Afghanistan...rat's nest of violence before, during and after the US occupation (Yes, I am seeing in to the future...)....the world is FULL of shit-rotten-fucked-up-EVIL.... It is not exclusive to the US....and for that matter, Europe is not immune. So chill with the oh-so-predictable America sucks rhetoric, you douche bags...and you know who you are.

That would be you, stressed. Calling them animals is demonising them. Saying it's the parent's fault doesn't change that. That just demonises parents aswell

the one who did the shooting IS AN ANIMAL, is he NOT??? Tell me that MAN, is not an animal. He is.
