Shooting at elementary school in Connecticut

[nostatic]

Brings back bad memories. I was a student at her high school when she did this. People suck.

At least the shooter is dead.

What a horrible thing. I don't have kids and I just can't imagine how the parents must feel.

[sailchef]

5 year old children. Its sickening.

[72doug2,2S]

Simply outrageous and horrific. This evil is running rampant in our society. I also have three kids at school and it hits home for me. What do I even tell them tonight?

[Tervuren]

School needs to start later to. I think the daycare/schoolcare raised kids seem more likely to go berserk.

All I know is that the little man, is getting an extra long , big squeeze, and hug when I pick him up in two hours. I actually started tearing up a little bit ago trying to imagine what the families must be going through right now. What a horrible place this world is becoming.

Brace yourself for plenty of stupidity on this thread.

I just wish I could have been the one to put him down.

I am very saddened every single time I see a child harmed...all over the world; it's too much.

[plumb4u2]

Think about the little children that survived so innocent and they will have to live the rest of their lives with what they witnessed

Am I the only one not surprised by this?

Anyone seen the 1985 movie Brazil where the people are eating and the terrorist bomb blows up and those not hit just keep eating?

Life is seen as so valueless. It's what we've been taught so why expect anything different?

i think it would be nice to keep the debate out of this thread..and just let folks use it to voice concern and send quiet prayers.

An unspeakable tragedy.

+1. The inevitable debate should occur in a separate thread over in OTPR.

[speeder]

Yep. The next one will be next week.

[pwd72s]

Could this be a copycat thing? After all the media hype of the mall shooting here in Oregon, this idiot decides to do the same?

Yes, too much meanness in this world.

This truly a sad day for everyone whether you are directly involved or a concerned person just hearing about this. The only regret that I have is that they killed the idiot or idiots that did this. After having worked in the dept of corrections for awhile a few years ago, I would much rather that they be found guilty and sent to prison because whether you like the inmates or not, they have their own way of taking care of people that hurt kids and to be an inmate and to know that I would have to put up with that for the rest of my life because I hurt kids--let's just say that would be true justice. If they were in fact killed, they got off easy but that is just my opinion.
