Plekpedia - The most epic site in the history of ever.

At least 27 dead? My God, I hate humanity. Hate it, hate it, hate it.

No, that's not right. There are truly good people out there. But on days like this and seeing men like that, it's hard not to despise this world.

"This is the prototype NOVA Bomb, nine fusion warheads encased in lithium triteride armor. When detonated, it compresses its fissionable material to neutron-star density, boosting the thermonuclear yield a hundredfold. I am Vice Admiral Danforth Whitcomb, temporarily in command of the UNSC military base Reach. To the Covenant uglies that might be listening, you have a few seconds to pray to your damned heathen gods. You all have a nice day in hell..."

Just turned on the news myself. Holy -blam!- 27 people dead? And 18 of them dead?

Its made worse by being so close to the holidays, a family time.

I hope they got bastard(s) that did it

Shooter is reportedly the father of a student at the school.


If thats true, thats probably why he was able to get in so easily.


Yes and it is confirmed that he killed his own son.

-blam!-.


And he killed himself. Dirty coward

What if the armed guard went crazy?


What if my dentist goes crazy while he's operating on my teeth? What if my taxi driver goes crazy and decides to drive off a bridge? What if my pilot goes crazy and crashes the plane?

You can't live in that kind of fear. Guns don't automatically make people go crazy. I'd rather have assurance that there is somebody who can respond to a situation as opposed to nothing at all.

This isn't Star Wars where somebody calls Order 66 and all the armed guards start killing civilians.

You're probably right. But there's needs to be something. Whether it's additional manpower for security, whether it's special doors to lockdown a room, something. Something that allows people within the school to defend themselves that isn't a weapon.
>mfw

That's basically the problem! I can't imagine the horror that must go through a teachers mind when this happens, because there's just nothing you can do.

I would like to know if any supporter of the 2nd amendment would be able to successfully convince one of the parents whose child was killed today. That guns are a good thing
Appeals to emotion are a terrible method for making laws.

The gunman, who is dead, was a 20-year-old from Connecticut, an official said. He was wearing all black and was carrying two 9mm handguns.

LOL, you were saying?

Guys. They are still pulling children's bodies from that school. Would you kindly shut the -blam!- up about the gun argument?

Go start another thread if you want, but this isn't the time or place.

18 kids...oh my god...And that's just so far. You know it's more.

-blam!-.

Damn. Many kids who had bright futures don't have that now. This is also right before Christmas. I don't want to imagine being a parent and having to bury your child. Yet alone a very young child.

There are reports of a second shooter who was in camouflage in the woods behind the school.

I saw this and was confused, because they originally said he was a parent of a student.

Did the kid knock someone up at 12 or something?

I genuinely don't even know how to process this event. It's been a long time since something has done this to me.

  • 12.14.2012 10:37 AM PDT

Just turned on the TV. Simply awful. They believe there is a second shooter too. I mean how do you find someone as insane as you to go along with this plan?

20? WTF. He can't be the father of the kid then.

And WTF 20?!?! Holy -blam!-.

Syria has an uprising and is war torn. The violence is bad but you kinda expect it. What the -blam!- is the excuse for violence like this? There is no war here and no uprising.

This my friends, is why the Right to Bear Arms amendment has to be revised.

Absolutely sickening.


You're dumb.

How so?

By the way, fixed.

And with that, he would have owned the guns illegally in the state of Connecticut due to his age.

You want the thread to turn into a sob fest then? What else do you want us to talk about - how sad it is and how much we want the bastards dead? That's already implied and there is no discussion value after everybody has already left their 'condolences and prayers' (which even bother some people in this thread unsurprisingly).

We get it - it's sad. But crying about it isn't going to change the situation or provide any discussion.

Its not about making laws now. It would never work. I'm just saddened to know that this will happen again

Whitehouse Spokesman

"I think it's important on a day like today to view this as I know the president, as a father does and I as a father and others who are parents certainly do, which is to feel enormous sympathy for families that are affected and to do everything we can to support state and local law enforcement and support those who are enduring what appears to be a very tragic event. There is, I'm sure, will be, rather, a day for discussion of the usual Washington policy debates but I don't think today is that day."

Take notes kids.
