CBS reporting 27 dead including 14 children

Oh god.
Please dont let it be like 9/11.
Meaning that never forget bull-blam!-.

Don't be a prick.
I agree with him. I don't want another 9/11.

Hey, guys, what's going on in this thread?
Someone tell Kivell that he is a lie.


Get WorkPlaced!

Reuters reports that 27 are dead, while NBC News is reporting that at least 20 children at the school were shot, including the gunman who, according to an ABC affiliate, is believed to be a parent of one of the students. Many of the shootings took place in a kindergarten classroom, the local newspaper reported.

December 21st please come.
That reminded me of a reason for people doing this. Something like "IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD, THERE ARE NO CONSEQUENCES!"

They don't actually believe that and even if they did there is no excuse to murder.

Look innocent people are dying and a lot of families don't know if their children are alive or dead. If you don't care that's fine but don't be a dick about it. There's no reason to drag 9/11 into this and complain about that. I mean seriously what the -blam!-? 3,000 people die and you get mad because one day out of the year you have to hear people remember it?

OMGZZ!!!!!!

"It's Afghanistanimation!"

Prayers going on the the families effected by this horrific tragedy! At least the monster who did this is where he belongs now.

I dont think it will ever happen. But does the average civilian really need assault weapons that can fire 100 rounds a minute? No the average shooter needs one so they can murder school children

I don't understand why American let's people own a gun and carry it round it's madness as you know you could easily piss off the wrong person and face the maximum punishment for it.


Oh look, another on who doesn't comprehend the criminal mind.

Look bub, if a criminal wants a gun, he'll get a gun whether or not they are legal or not.


It would certainly limit the number of mass shootings.
This is happening every single month and at a gradeschool no less?

Sorry, me and this other guy don't have a "criminal mind", but this is really out of control and your kind of thinking is what's going to continue this crap.

Not in the way that they should be eliminated totally. They just need a way to keep them from people who pose a thread, somehow... I carry, I have a license to do so. The difference between me and them besides the obvious mental stability. I am trained on how and when to use it. It is a total LAST RESORT defense for myself and my family when I am out with them.

I'm not sure how not having gun control would have solved this problem. If anything, it could have made it exponentially worse.

Now the teachers will have to carry guns

How are assault weapons, as you call them, any more lethal than the average semi automatic hunting weapon?

RIP Logan ~B.B.

I know the US loves a good mass shooting and all, but little elementary kids? Sad.

  • 12.14.2012 9:58 AM PDT

Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.

Dozens dead inlcuding school children. This is horrible.

Unless you live in that immediate area it's unlikely that you'll hear people talking about this a week from now. Comparing this to 9/11 is a horrible comparison.

Because its a lot easier to kill with them and rain down bullets than it is with a handgun

Given the number of letters NASA has received from suicidal doomsday believers, I disagree (about people believing it, not about it being a justification). Besides, the people that do things like this aren't right in the head to begin with.

You know this shooter was using a handgun, right? And I asked you about semi-auto hunting guns.

They are crazy but going to a school and killing means they probably put some thought into it.
