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. | ||

Its fine to show compassion and grief in this situations, but in reality it just show the ignorance of the American people, Im am an American and wish nothing more then to have reform in this country. So we should just ignore these innocent children who died needlessly? Get out. Just get out. | ||

It's seriously disgusting that they would make them do an interview after watching their friends or teachers be brutally killed first hand. Are the parents giving permission for the interviews? If they're doing it for 15 minutes of fame that's just sickening. I would think the parents would have to give permission since they are minors. makes it even sadder | ||

This is close to some people. Some people actually give a fuck about what happened. Who are you to say what they should care about? | ||

I hate this kind of attitude (his, not yours) - like Americans aren't allowed to be upset when anything happens to them, as if we, as if ANYONE, deserves this kind of thing. | ||

That is neither here nor there. I don't want to be controversial and start an argument because that's not what the thread is for. But what you're saying is simply not appropriate. The thread is here so that people can express their sadness and gather information about what exactly happened. Talking about how "other worse things happen", Americans are ignorant.. is something that you should NOT do. If you believe that this topic is unimportant compared to what happens in Africa, then just don't post in it. I don't care about K-pop at all, do you see me going in the thread and talking about how much better progressive rock is? No.. this is the same thing except that the topic is much more serious. Much more serious. People don't need an analysis depicting America's cultural problems in this thread. So can it, please. Thoughts to the victims' families. What happened here is a true tragedy. I hope they do catch the killer and do figure out why he did it, if only to help make sure it doesn't happen again. | ||

I don't really understand what reform you're talking about. Do you mean a reformation of the mindset that only mourns local tragedies? Should we just be in a constant state of mourning the deaths of strangers all over the world just because they happened? The world is sad. Reality is sad. Death is inevitable. | ||

Better yet, double tapping drone bombings which is considered a war crime by the UN and nobody has said anything about it. Double tapping drone bombing(for people who don't know) is basically shooting one drone bomb which only kills 1-3 people, then when neighbors hear the screams they rush to help, so people tend to crowd around, then another bomb kills all the rescuers resulting in 20+ deaths generally. This is why incidents like this don't surprise me much as sad as they are. Its kind of hard to prevent incidents like this because it takes generations to instill decent moral behaviour in a population. Sadly good morals are going out the window the last 20-30 years. | ||
