Sad to say, but I'm becoming desensitized with these type of horrible acts. It happens way to often in North America , Europe etc...

I can never understand why the people that commit these acts just don't kill themselves and spare everyone else the pain and misery if life is that horrible. I understand its based out of anger against the people and the world around them, but I can never understand how people can get this angry to do these horrible things to people and their families.... sad.

   

I want to give you a 'thumbs up' but it just doesn't seem appropriate. You said this quite nicely and I appreciate your point of view.

   

32 dead, not including the gunman. About 10-20 wounded. That was I read in today's paper...

   

From my cold, dead hands !

   

I hate to be a bother but... that's a quote by Charlton Heston from an NRA meeting... which means... it's....a....

   

Turns out the guy was almost the poster boy for "the quiet loner who came out shooting". Looks like there was plenty of indications that he wasn't normal also, but that could also be 20/20 hindsite.
If I was a teacher, I'd start packing heat.

   

Why? What good would come of it? The likelihood of something like this happening to you in a classroom are so minuscule. you'd be better off buying death by meteorite insurance.

   

Then what would it hurt? If it's properly secured and invisable to all others, why does it matter?
I'd definately not saying that all teachers should carry guns but if the ones that had the right training and frame of mind, did, I couldn't hurt.

   

Everyone should have a gun just like in Iraq a model of peace and order.

33 with hand guns... and the media just makes it so the next wacko will try for 34. Just another high score. At least they didn't suffer.

   

So this is the media's fault? Are you going to jump on IceOwl's bandwaggon and demand no publictty or news on events that make people feel unhappy?

Thanks for the posting Lily. Learning everything we can is the first step in trying to prevent it.

   

I know there is no way of predicting what a person is going to do. Like if they are going to snap any min and start killing people.

But it does seem like time after time you hear reports after the fact saying that people are not surprised, that they saw it coming, that he fits the profile, that the person was distrubed....and so on.

Who writes a play and at the end of has a person being killed by a rice Krispy treat?????????

Yep buddy had some issues. To bad someone was not more concerned to keep a closer eye on this guy.

   

.. and when push comes to shove, the CBC find some moonbat anthropologist who blames it all on Bush and the war in Iraq. I can just shudder at the idea of the loony-toon Roll-a-dex that the CBC has...

Was that anyone from this forum?

   

Media has as much to blame as Korea, Counterstrike, GTA, immigration reform, easy access to guns by children and why not throw in 9-11 just for fun? The issue is simple: A non US citizen can buy a high capacity pistol and kill at will in the US.

When it comes to media coverage of mass murder I like the Pickton coverage in the Province, not wall to wall coverage that tries to relive the glory day's of the OJ Simpson trial. They at least give you a big disclaimer and a fold out so if you want you can skip right past it but if you want you can read up on all the gore you want.

It's true you can't outlaw the insane impulses of a deranged mind but the message that nothing can be done and that we must be chronically unprepared for tragic events is equally insane. It's like why have laws when people will only break them?

   

It also doesn't help that virtually every media outlet keeps talking about how this is the new record for mass shootings.
