Connecticut School Shooting

[Sicklyboy]

I know I'm not the first to say that incidents like this do not personally affect me.

That does not, however, stop me from being horrified and shocked at the violence that occurs in every day society, and how things like this happen in the first place. Nobody deserves to die like that, kids don't deserve to be killed or put through that emotional trauma. They're barely out of their fucking diapers, for christ's sake. These kids are going to grow up with the memory of their friends being shot executioner style; one moment they're in class learning simple math and vocabulary, and the next their entire life is turned upside down. These kids don't have the mental and emotional facilities to deal with this sort of thing yet, I can only hope that some of them are too young to understand and be truly affected by it like some other older kids in the school will be.

If you hate life, hate the world, and hate the people around you that much, take yourself out back and just do it if you're going to do something. Over and done with, just like that, nobody is hurt physically except for one person, and it's not gonna hurt for long. Don't fucking drag other people that you don't even know into it, little kids that can't even form a well structured sentence yet, they're not who your fucking problem is with. What's even more sickening is how, according to what I heard, the kids were killed executioner style like that. He didn't just walk into the school and open up, he fucking targeted and intentionally murdered these people.

I wouldn't wish this on anyone. My thoughts go out to the families affected by this.

And one last thing - there's a lot of things in life I don't believe in. Some sort of after life, heaven and hell, I can't say I really believe in it. But if there is, then there's a special place in hell for people like this. If there is, I hope they spend the rest of eternity suffering with the weight of their actions upon them.

I was enjoying finally finishing finals, then I read this. What can I even say? What can anyone say? ...I think I'll just let my silence speak on this one.

i'm a grown man (pushing 40.). an i started to cry, just for the fact my 3 boys are the age of these victims.

My condolences to the families and friends of the victims who are suffering today. hopefully some good will come of this and we in this country can begin to have a national discussion on mental health and not sweep it under the rug. With that said, the United States has become a very scary place to live. It's one thing to be a poor person of color and have to worry about the law, law makers and private owned prisons creating bullshit reasons to lock you up but its hard to walk around and not wonder if you're going to be shot today. As a victim of a armed home invasion, I can tell you that i think about that shit every day and barely sleep at night. Some days i feel like ending it and offing myself. Its only because my wife loves me so much and that I love her that i try to overcome this stuff but yes, for being a land of the free, this country is just damn scary.

This is quite sad to hear. I hope the parents will be able to overcome this tragedy. May God help them.
In my religion, children who are not yet capable of realizing their sins will be going to heaven. But as for the man who shot the children, he for sure will be going to hell. I don't know how anybody with a heart could shoot little kids, even if mentally disabled. I heard there was an alarm or button at the school door, and it must be rung to get permission to enter. The people don't know how he got in.
I'm sorry for anybody here whose children were victims.
I don't want to bring up religious acts or anything, just saying.

If I remember correctly, the shooter's mother was a teacher at the school. If that's the case he might have gained entry via the guise of "visiting his mother". This situation is sad and shameful. I cant imagine the pain these people are going through

Although I disagree completely with what you said, I'm not going to argue on this forum; it just doesn't seem appropriate or respectful.
We really need to look at this incident and realize how much we take for granted our family and friends. Always try to treat people with kindness because you never know when that person will be taken from your life forever.

first off- my condolences to the families
im speechless and words cant describe how i feel. all i can say is whats next!? Is some sicko going to go into a hospital and kill all the newborn babies and doctors!?
to be honest i dont know how we can prevent this-people are very determined and that can be a good and bad thing....

 

[Chary]

...I can't describe how horrible this is. The murderer was a sick, sick man for doing this to innocent children, children who probably didn't even understand what was going on.

Who do you disagree with? maybe you should quote the person you are replying to so that we are not confused when we're reding your reply to another's post.

I hope they didn't and that they continue not to, if that's the case. Nobody deserves to be robbed of their innocence that severely at that young an age. I hope that the youngest ones in there will grow up, forgetting the majority of the incident except for "a bad thing happened in kindergarten and some people got really really hurt". Not that those who were killed need to be forgotten, but for the kids to grow as normal a life as they can at this point.

Talking about school shootings is a good way to ensure that more happen. You're turning psychos into heroes in the mind of other potential psychos.

Look at the French revolution. Back when they started guillotine-ing people all the time there was a guy named Jean-Paul Marat who wrote a newspaper called "The Friend of the People", in which he'd call out enemies of the people. People against the killings, known as terror, had Charlotte Corday kill Marat. She was executed and Marat was basically turned into the god of the revolution.

When people die and their face is everywhere, they become idolized by similar people.

Yep.. my bad.

Why do people do this in the first place? Who the fuck would enjoy murdering children? These are 4-6 year old children that you killed, they barely got to know the world. What the fuck causes the mentality of a person to be so mind-fuckingly screwed up to enjoy slaughtering 4-6 year olds?

 

[smile72]

Tragic...but this won't change gun control....especially in America where the NRA resides.....I wish the best for the families of the victims and the victims.

Serial killers, mass murderers, spree killers, etc... they hurt them for pleasure....I know I've talked to people like that when I was dealing with my confirmation requirements.

Like I said,

Pleasure...mainly...but also trying to hurt someone, an example would be when a husband murders his own/wife's children to get back at her. In this case though I think he was trying to get back at his mother or he was looking for attention....

Pleasure...mainly..

I think he's asking something more along the lines of what causes the pleasure? How/why would someone find pleasure in doing something so terrible?

Sexual pleasure...pleasure in the pain of hurting others...pleasure in the possibility of fame from the incident; there are many forms of pleasure.
