The gun control argument stops now. I know it's fun to argue about it in the heat of the tragedy when you can get all worked up about it but it's pretty disrespectful and if you don't care enough about the issue to make a separate topic for gun control then you don't care enough to shit on the tragedy by exploiting it. A gun control topic can be found here http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=313472 Also stop posting links to his facebook. TL will be no part of an unconfirmed witch hunt. | ||

You'd think someone who had the capacity to intentionally murder school children would show more signs of being fucking crazy. Or maybe this video was before something broke in their brain. Who knows... | ||

I dislike when people paint the entirety of humanity with the same brush because of the actions of an extremely small and sick minority. You'd think recovery would begin with people wanting to come together after a tragedy like this, but instead, people are more willing to act as if the rest of humanity is tainted by this man's actions. I'm certainly prioritizing caring about my family and friends today rather than wallowing in disgust of people who have done nothing wrong. I don't mean to really attack you personally by the way...All I've seen on Facebook for the past few hours has been stuff like, "humanity is going down the drain!" and it's starting to irk me... | ||

I do wonder how mainstay these sorts of shootings will have to become before public opinion starts to change. And before the requisite "You so stupid, how would taking away guns fix this?" pops up, it's not about "taking away guns", it's about making them more difficult to acquire, because the fact of the matter is that getting guns in the states is incredibly simple and far too easy. My thoughts go out to the families, this sucks. User was temp banned for this post. Temp ban on this eh? Interesting. For martyrdom? I'm pretty sure the NRA are obligated to comment on this. A Glock 911 and a Sig Sauer are not used for hunting animals. They're used to kill people, in this case, children. Pretty sure registering to an NRA affiliated bank can make you eligible for a free handgun. Northern States, too? I'm Canadian, so I don't know too much about gun control in the States. In any case... this story further deteriorates my faith in mankind. No more fish in 40 years. Worldwide cancer epidemic Iran going nuclear/ imminent proliferation.... People killing each other ARAGH!

Don't hope too hard, you may be disappointed; there's a pretty good chance that if the shooter could afford a glock and a sig sauer, he could afford to play video games. | ||

i think there's a lot to be said about not focusing on the shooter's identity and what he deserves, even if he is already dead. if you are trying to figure out the wiring in his head or the demons possessing him at the time or even an event that may have caused him to snap, all of this is time and energy spent on something we can't control. the only thing it accomplishes is gaining closure, and in that regard i think too many people will be disappointed with the answers they get. | ||

We're scarred already but we keep on inflicting new wounds every day. Some are just more obvious than others. I can never understand how someone could waste lives like this. To be fair, human society is more peaceful now than at pretty much any other time in history. It's not like things are really getting worse. It's just that now whenever anything happens anywhere we hear about it. | ||

Now reports the mother was one of the teachers. So he is 24, does he really have a child in elementary school? Or was that a false report? | ||
