It's unreal that someone could go through with this.
My heart goes out to all of the families affected. Many of these kids had their whole lives ahead of them...

It's so sad knowing that these kids who went to school today happy it was Friday and excited for Christmas didn't even make it to lunch. My prayers are for the families who lost someone today and to anyone out there who has to send their child off to school every day.

Ok, so what do you think? Not only did he kill children for no apparent reason, but then he committed suicide. Sounds insane.

RE: School Shooting in Connecticut
You don't get it. I completely agree with jew's statement about indirect racial discrimination still happening. If a black or foreign man did that and didn't commit suicide, what do you think the consequences would be? Hypothesizing, if the killer didn't commit suicide, I guarantee that his charges would likely be much less. The point was not debating whether or not he was insane, his point was to show flawed American society, even today.

My heart goes out to all that were affected by this heinous crime. I could not imagine someone being able to go into a school and kill defenseless children. These people are not even described as people anymore, more like blotches on humanity.

that is just not true. Every time a tragic shooting happens we decide to ignore talk of gun control and to instead focus on the victims, and the tragedy, etc. But if gun control was tighter, if background checks were more intense, and if people couldn't get their hands on semi-automatic rifles, this type of thing would not happen as much as it does (which is way too often).
People act like gun control is not to blame for mass shootings, it's all just "people are crazy," but it's not.

RE: School Shooting in Connecticut
I disagree. The reason the these people can do these things is because guns can be obtained legally and easily. I am not talking about outlawing guns. I am saying that a person with a clean criminal record and no questionable incidents in their past should be able to own a handgun. The problem is the accessibility of high-powered, made-to-kill-people guns.
And while it is true to an extent that people will find a way to get their hands on something even if it is illegal, if you think it would be as easy (or as pain-free) to obtain a gun illegally as it is to do it legally now, you're crazy. That's like saying it's just as easy to get child porn right now as it would be if it was legal.

RE: School Shooting in Connecticut
Holy shit. I am tired of this stupid gun control arguements. 27 people died, and you all talk a bout gun control? Are you kidding me? What a god damn joke. This is not about gun control, and this will not turn into a god damn thread like that. Before the media explodes about a fudging gun control arguement, think about it and actually realize what happened. Don't fudging start with me.
Connecticut got rid of the death penalty, not allowd. It was terrible incident, and for somebody who lives literally 10 minutes away, this is sickening. 27 dead, and few realize this feat. The gun man is dead and we all realize that, but he still will bear the scars on many families. We have been in a lockdown all day when this terrible incident occurred. Nobody could leave the building. My friends and everybody in the school knows people who did die in that school, and I saw my friend cry today over it.
Just fudging stop with gun control arguements, do it somewhere else. Anywhere but here.
