SCHOOL SHOOTING ... FUCK

[contract]

This is fucked up beyond belief... I don't have the words... Something has to change.

Nothing will change honestly.. Maybe arming the teachers will scare more people from doing it.. But there will still be crazy people, still be guns sold regardless of them being legal or street sales.. If someone wanted to crash their car into a group of people and die they could, but it doesn't mean we should ban cars, ie nor guns.. Just need to make the world a better place for people to fit in and want to live..

I don't get the issue with trying to profit from this really. Personally I think the American Media's obsession with death and profiteering from fear is far worse, but hey - I'm sure that won't stop you guys.

This.

The media fuckup is insane. Hope someone sues the living shit out of them.

Fuck.

Yes, but let's make sure we don't consider changing ourselves as an option.

It is so much easier and more effective to instil change through random legislation put in by well intentioned politicians.

I'm just going to go out there and say this... If the gov could pull off 9/11, you really think murdering people is something they are too afraid to do? While it's highly unlikely in this event, it does make you wonder considering that movie theater shooting had a ton of missing details.. Anyways, always keep an open mind..

You have ZERO evidence to back up this claim, only that at some point in the past, our government has not told us the truth. If you can show me one SINGLE bit of evidence to back up this claim at all, I might give you the time of day to continue. But right now you sound fucking stupid.

For all we know, it could have been some "closed door" group of ultra-wealthy people who got taken for a few trillion dollars, and tied some lose ends by taking someone's child.. Or even a hired hitman who went after someone's child/family hiding out in CT, and didn't want it to look targeted so they did the whole school..

WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?? Per your reasoning, for all we know it could have been a team of crazed unicorns with guns instead of horns.

Tragic nonetheless, but we can't say it was this or wasn't that when we don't know all the details.

Yes, we can. We can say that a young adult shot his dad, then went to his mom's school and shot the principal, the guidance counselor, his mother, and a bunch of innocent kids. How do we know this? Because they have found:

1) his dead dad
2) his dead mom
3) dead school workers
4) a classroom of dead fucking kids
5) a dead young adult, wearing a mask, carrying guns, and wearing a bullet proof vest, at the school

So, there's my evidence that this was a deranged young man who did something sick and despicable. So now, please counter with ONE PIECE OF EVIDENCE TO BACK UP YOUR STUPID FUCKING CLAIMS.

EDIT: The reason I am so pissed at you doubting idiots is because as soon as you cast doubt on this tragedy you're trivializing the real problem here - that a bunch of innocent adults and completely innocent young children were murdered in cold blood. Instead of showing support for the losses so many families are experiencing, your dumb ass is looking for attention for your stupid conspiracy theory, which will divert attention away from the real tragedy today: a bunch of parents aren't going to be putting their kids to bed tonight because some fuckhead did a horrible thing.

So stop coming up with conspiracy theories, it's offensive and juvenile

shit man, sorry to hear that. I can't even imagine.

 

[Ar Scion]

I would say blame the parents, too late for that. Mom was a teacher, not sure where the kid went wrong.

Because schoolteachers = good parents?

"No shooting toddlers" is not on our curriculum in this day and age. Maybe in Europe...

Doesn't it always seem that way with these mass school shootings? Why don't we ever hear of mass school shootings in Compton or Detroit? Seems like it's always in middle-to-upper class, suburban neighborhoods.

It might be that the poorer areas are more community minded and neighbourly. They live on top of each other so it's hard to ignore people in those areas. The more you interact with other people the more you realise they are just like you and the harder it is to hurt them.

Most sociopaths tend to distance themselves from their victims so their prey don't seem human, they are just things.

Does surburban living make it easier to distance yourself from your fellow human being? Possibly.

Here's a picture of the gunman's house according to the Daily Mail:

Seems isolated from neighbours never mind interaction with children.

Maybe one solution may be making people interact with each other more - compulsory community service at age 18 for three months or something. Something to make people step out of their isolated bubbles and realise that everyone bleeds just like them.

It's not so much about socializing with others in the neighborhood, as it is about upbringing and their relationship with parents, starting from day 1.

People have every right to question what's going on as the news develops.
It does not trivialize the deaths of those involved.
It is healthy and normal to have an open mind when your main source is TV media.

Having said that, given the amount of information now out, the story is quite clear, so I wouldn't suspect any sort of covert conspiracy.

 

[Netphase]

Tumour & Mummy? Did the BBC post that?

 

[-joe-]

These are gonna start popping up, that one looks fake to me. (This probably sounds harsh, but yeah) The grammar looks way too good for someone of that age, especially in a traumatic situation.

I don't need to support evidence because no one knows the fully story.. That's like saying you believe in God because of a book, yet no one really knows if he really even exists to begin with.. I don't care if my conspiracy is out there, you can't disprove it unless you were the shooter himself. And seeing as he's dead now, we'll.. No one will ever know if there was anything being hidden. Sure a crazy guy makes complete sense, but how do you really know there wasn't anything else to the story.. You and I both don't, we have the same info/news.

I'm not attacking anyone, I'm not trying to disrespect any of the families, I'm saying this was a horrible act of violence nonetheless. But all I'm saying is keep and open mind.. I show sympathy to all those who died, their families, etc. but that doesn't mean I should just believe what the media says..

Not being offensive to anyone, there is nothing wrong with asking questions. I'm not saying or confirming there was some hidden agenda, I'm just explaining to keep an open mind.

Thank you, my thoughts exactly. I believe the story out now is legit, yet I'll keep an open mind in case anything else comes up..

That implies people in poorer areas are better parents. But is there any evidence of this (apart from the religious texts - poor shall inherit the earth etc).

I think it's more to do with interaction/socialising than anything else.

Example: Japan is a very crowded island, mountainous, mostly uninhabitable, so they are all 121 million of them, squashed together on the coasts. They are forced to interact and deal with each other on a daily basis. They have a low murder rate, and only one massacre, the sarin gas attack in 1995 which was set off by an isolated cult.

Britain has a very different culture from Japan, but we are also crowded and by necessity have to interact with each other on a daily basis. We're 63 million, and we've had three massacres in the last 25 years - Hungerford 1987, Dunblane 1996 and Derrick Bird 2010.

America has about 300 million people - if you were experiencing massacres at the same frequency as us you would have had a total of 15 in the last 25 years. But it's several multiples of that, isn't it? And they always occur in these suburban spots, so you can't even claim it's down to "America" because urban America is behaving very differently.

So it must be down to isolation and lack of social interaction. Or your gun laws, take your pick.
