This is a tragic event. Let's not derail the thread with a gun control debate. Posts from page 9 onward will be moderated for steering the discussion towards gun control. | ||

If you had any sense, you'd KNOW that regardless of what you want or consider correct, the normal human response of many of them will be exactly that. Please read the views of Christopher Hitchens on pacifism, to learn my views on pacifists. At this point I'll stop discussing anything with you because I run the risk of severely violating the rules of conduct on this site. And yet I feel I can talk to you freely without violating any rules. Perhaps that shares something about our respective arguments/viewpoints. AFAIK - the normal human response to great loss is grief. Not revenge. Revenge is never the answer. Since you won't be responding - I wish you luck and health on your journeys. Farewell friend. | ||

As far as we know until a few weeks ago this was a very successful person who had a honorable degree and was in med school, then suddenly dropped out and went on a shooting rampage. I am NOT trying to defend his actions but it is pretty apparent that he had some sort of mental break that pushed him into this. I truly hope that no more people die from this, and hopefully people can recover mentally from this. It's always the nice,smart,polite and quiet kid that truly is lonely and depressed but none can see it  | ||

This whole event is sickening and I feel sorry for all of the victims and their families Could also be some automated web script that sends the tweet whenever the keyword is trending. It seems hard to believe That a person actually sent that. | ||

Yes. Are you? I think you have your mental illnesses mixed up a little bit, you should look into it a bit more before posting. | ||

I've never been able to stand these people, but i've always acknowledged their legal rights, but this is just ridiculous. Innocent people were shot for enjoying a form of media. There can be no justification for their protests here. | ||

You do realize that suicide and mass murder are, like, exactly the opposite of each other, right? Also, you do realize that the guy did not kill himself, right? | ||

Something to do with the people deserved to die because they were worshiping something false or against god. WBC are scum but many many times local biker gangs have rallied to block them from getting anywhere near vigils and funerals like this. Good people will stop them, just sad that they would jump on this so fast. | ||

You don't really have to be a psychologist to derive some conclusions... Most people who are intelligent can simply break (my friend who majored in Computer Science believed we were all in the "matrix" and legitimately testified in court about (in a civil case revolving around his family) how we were all simulations) Most likely he saw all of the extremely disgusting aspects of society and how we as a people are, he couldn't handle it anymore, broke and in his mind thought the only solution was killing people. Obviously this was the wrong choice, but what your mind decides and what is right can be two completely different things (battery acid being thrown on the girls face because she was learning to read in the Middle East a year or so ago, guy believed it was right to do that to his daughter but it we can conclude that obviously it wasn't) Anywho, all fucked up nonetheless, 7 billion people on earth, a few are going to snap.

Issue is how do we define "right and wrong". Sam Harris has a nice debate on that actually. | ||
