27 dead, including gunman, at Conn. school
A man opened fire inside the Connecticut elementary school where his mother worked Friday, killing 26 people, including 18 children, and forcing students to cower in classrooms and then flee with the help of teachers and police.

The death toll — 26 victims plus the gunman — was given to The Associated Press by an official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation was still under way.

Seems to be everyday ,is it from just nut cases ,or hopelessness , direction of the Country.This shit needs to stop ,we are heading down a dark road....

It's just another day in America, Nova.

What is the purpose of the Media? Newspapers, TV, radio. If you think they are there to give us information you are wrong. They are there to make money. Tragedies sell. Is it our society or is it the nature of man that wants to see gory details?

 

[Mr. Shaman]

A little too early to start pointing fingers in this particular incident but I suspect a highly paranoid individual thinking the world is actually going to end in a few days. I also decline to talk about this sick horror in a political sense until the dead are buried and we know something concerning motive, as should we all.

The first time I read your post I was mildly impressed, but now the more I see your fellow lefties using it for political points, the more I want to give you rep for this.

Mental-health care isn't political, huh??​

AND why do people like you resort to EXTREME GENERALIZATIONS and HYPERBOLE??
Is this country all 310 million of us "going nuts"? NO!
But why do people like you resort to making such extreme statements?
Stupidity that drives actions that later WE REGRET!

Case in point..."50 million people are uninsured" CAUSED Obamacare to come into existence! That was the primary reason!
BUT IT WAS A LIE! Yet it is perpetuated and now costing billions of dollars each year and eventually will destroy our health system!
And that is NOT hyperbole! Obama has said so that he FAVORS the destruction of health care as we know it!
And he uses the same tactic "hyperbole" when he said 50 million uninsured and HE KNOWS it is a lie..
I mean his Census bureau said 10 million are NOT citizens! 14 million are already covered by Medicaid and he knows it!
So that leaves 26 million of WHICH 18 million are under 34 so they don't need it, make over $50K and could afford it but pay out of their own pocket their health expenses... YET Obama falsely uses 50 million and idiots believed that!
So if this country is going nuts it's because we have idiots making gross hyperbolic statements like yours and Obama's!!

psychiatric medications...

Excellent point that is more than likely being overlooked, or ignored as the reason.

Its Buuuussssshhhhhhes fault

FUCK you and your NRA.

Back at you..... The NRA has nothing to do with this.

 

[Desperado]

I honestly don't care that much. There's been violence and school violence for many generations.

Really? Just where did you go to school?

What difference does that make? Those 27 people are still dead.

 

[Sallow]

Blasting the killer's name and picture for days on end all over the goddam air doesn't help.

Making the killer the star of the feature is giving him exactly what he wanted, and sending a message to the next wannabe star.

.

He and his victims are dead.

They are beyond caring..

Because I would like to know where there's been school violence for many generations.
Simple question.

School shooting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

1800s
November 2, 1853: Louisville, Kentucky A student, Matthew Ward, bought a self-cocking pistol in the morning, went to school and killed Schoolmaster Mr. Butler for excessively punishing his brother the day before. Even though he shot the Schoolmaster point blank in front of his classmates, he was acquitted.[19]

An April 30, 1866 editorial in the New York Times argued against students carrying pistols, citing "...pistols being dropped on the floor at balls or being exploded in very inconvenient ways. A boy of 12 has his pantaloons made with a pistol pocket; and this at a boarding-school filled with boys, who, we suppose, do or wish to do the same thing. We would advise parents to look into it, and learn whether shooting is to be a part of the scholastic course which may be practiced on their boys; or else we advise them to see that their own boys are properly armed with the most approved and deadly-pistol, and that there may be an equal chance at least of their shooting as of being shot."[20]

June 8, 1867: New York City At Public School No. 18, a 13 year old lad brought a pistol loaded and capped, without the knowledge of his parents or school-teachers, and shot and injured a classmate.[21]

December 22, 1868: Chattanooga, Tennessee A boy who refused to be whipped and left school, returned with his brother and a friend, the next day to seek revenge on his teacher. Not finding the teacher at the school, they continued to his house, where a gun battle rang out, leaving three dead. Only the brother survived.[22]

March 9, 1873: Salisbury, Maryland After school as Miss Shockley was walking with four small children, she was approached by a Mr. Hall and shot. The Schoolmaster ran out, but she was dead instantly. Hall threw himself under a train that night.[23]

May 24, 1879: Lancaster, New York As the carriage loaded with female students was pulling out of the school's stables, Frank Shugart, a telegraph operator, shot and severely injured Mr. Carr, Superintendent of the stables.[24]

March 6, 1884: Boston, Massachusetts As news of Jesse James reached the east coast, young kids started to act in the same manner. An article from the New York Times reads, Another "Jesse James" Gang - Word was brought to the Fifth Police Station to-night that a number of boys were using the Concord-street School-house for some unknown purpose, and a posse of officers was sent to investigate. The gang scattered at the approach of the police, and in their flight one drew a revolver and fired at Officer Rowan, without effect, however. William Nangle, age 14, and Sidney Duncan, age 12, were captured, but the other five or six escaped, among them the one who did the shooting. The boys refused to disclose the object of their meeting, but it is thought that another "Jesse James" organization has been broken up.[25]

March 15, 1884: Gainesville, Georgia In the middle of the day, a group of very drunk Jackson County farmers left the Jug Tavern drinking and shooting their revolvers as they headed down the street driving people into their homes. As they approached the female academy, the girls fled the schoolyard into the school where the gang followed swearing and shooting, firing several rounds into the front door. No one was hurt.[26]

July 4, 1886: Charleston, South Carolina During Sunday school, Emma Connelly shot and killed John Steedley for "circulating slanderous reports" about her, even though her brother publicly whipped him a few days earlier.[27]

June 12, 1887: Cleveland, Tennessee Will Guess went to the school and fatally shot Miss Irene Fann, his little sister's teacher, for whipping her the day before.[28]

June 13, 1889: New Brunswick, New Jersey Charles Crawford upset over an argument with a school Trustee, went up to the window and fired a pistol into a crowded school room. The bullet lodged in the wall just above the teacher's[vague] head.[29]
The first known mass shooting in the U.S. where students were shot, was on April 9, 1891, when 70 year old, James Foster fired a shotgun at a group of students in the playground of St. Mary's Parochial School, Newburgh, New York, causing minor injuries to several of the students.[30] The majority of attacks during this time period by students on other students or teacher, usually involved stabbing with knives, or hitting with stones.

True the NRA was whispering in the shooter's ear to pull the trigger.
Get fucking real.

Police recovered three weapons from the scene: a semi-automatic .223 Bushmaster, a Glock and a Sig Sauer, a source with knowledge of the investigation said. Vance said that the medical examiner will determine the cause of death for the gunman, though he noted that police never discharged their weapons.

Bravo boys.

Why is this Country going nuts ?

psychiatric medications...

If you pay attention to any one of those anti depressant medication commercials
there is a huge list of side effects.A few mention thoughts of suicide and some other
nasty side issues...

Doctors and parents today are real quick to load their kids up on all sorts of meds.
We need to look into all sorts of reasons why this craziness seems to be happening
way too much.

You people need to stop getting mired in this stuff, and viewing it all together as one cohesive chaotic mess.

It's not. Our country has always been full of violence and massive killing sprees. There isn't really any indicator that things are getting worse and more common. All throughout our history as a country we have had rampage killers.

Why is this Country going nuts ?

psychiatric medications...

I know you are just trying to be funny and entertaining but a lot of medications prescribed today have some bizzar warnings. I'm taking a medication that promotes nerve damage repair and it warns of thoughts and dreams of suicide. I'm thinkin what the fuck? But I am taking it and I feel no such thing.

Note to self... go buy weapons and ammo...lots of it and big clips..
