It is always sad when these senseless crimes happen but it gets aplified even more when it hits close to home. One of the now 7 confirmed deceased happened to be the sister of my very dear co-worker. Let me tell you that it is devastating to see any family suffering because of this.

Why this asshole did what he did, we may never know. I do know that those that lost their lives or were injured did not deserve this or anyone else who has ever had to go thru this.

As always, my sympathies go out to all families.

I'm from the U.S. and I am the first to admit the people here are very ignorant to the rest of the world and usually do not see or get the big picture. They are bombarded with celebrities instead of real news and brainwashed with tabloid trash.

This leads to hubris and self-importance in a lot of immature individuals thinking they, too, are like the stars in the magazines and on TV and that everything revolves around them. I will also be the first to admit that there are a lot, A LOT, of good - make that VERY good - people here. But that doesn't make for interesting news does it?


Not only do I 100% agree with you, you also have the best username and avatar ever.

Haha thanks! Your avatar brings back fond memories as well haha "NO TOUCHING!!"



Also to Maktub who said the problem isn't guns. It's half guns, half people. Like that saying "It takes two."

I think someone mentioned it, and this really goes to show that anyone can snap.

They have happened in the UK (Scotland....) but they are quite rare. I suspect that the problem in America with the school shootings is more to do with the amount of attention they receive. When a lot (not all) teenagers commit suicide they often leave some sort of 'dramatic' message that hope will leave mankind scarred for life, although more often than not nobody other than a few friends and family couldn't care less about some kid that killed them self. From the amount of attention that a lot of school shootings get, they will know that they give themselves loads of attention and make more people think about what they had done. TBH, if I was to commit suicide (not that I would) I would probably go for something 'dramatic', but not a school shooting (over done now). Maybe blow up a few town centres or a few royal establishments...

In summary, they are all a bunch of attention seeking emos.

I personally believe these are the final throes of the 2nd Amendment. The government's trial balloons for every transgression has been successful in curtailing rights, good sense and purchasing power. So they will soon just go for the last tooth in the commoners mouth. Then Americans'll be just like Brits, except with better skin tone and less pomp.
