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

Also stop posting links to his facebook. TL will be no part of an unconfirmed witch hunt.

When I heard about this I thought of the kids and their families. Feel bad for them all.

There's a lot of headlines coming out about how the kid was a "loner" and had aspergers. I really fucking hate it when the media has to say shit like, "he was a "loner"", or "he suffered from a personality disorder." People can be loners without wanting to kill children. People can have "disorders" without wanting to kill people. I don't want people to be scared of me because I like being left alone. (No, I DON'T want to hurt anyone!)

Nope sorry you play video games, have used the internet and dont want 10 billion facebook friends.
you must be a confirmed murderer.

On topic i'm having trouble believing the story about that "Victoria" woman (the teacher), but if it is true then holy crap, what a hero.

Like 10 years ago maybe. Remember when video games were underground?

I kinda wish we could go back to that because of all the marketing BS. Maybe not though.

I'm sorry, I don't want to start a fight, I don't care about gun controls, to each their own, but I know that in Romania, kids have almost 0 chances of getting even a pistol, not to mention a semi-automatic rifle.
News like these sicken me. Any retard can go haywire and kill a bunch of innocent people, because it's his right to own military equipment.

I feel pretty crestfallen that my human brethren are now killing children too. I'm pretty desensitized when I read up on grown adults dying in the news (because it happens all the time now), but killing sub 20 children? There is something very wrong on this planet.

I won't send 'best wishes' and all that nonsense to a country that openly advocates the uses of military weaponry by all its citizens, but I do feel regret for those children. They could have become Scientists or Doctors who change peoples lives.. What a waste.

It seems you have a problem with what I've said. This isn't the first televised massacre in America, I'm just saying it is fruitless to send such wishes when it will happen again unless something changes.

Yes, I do. It is an impossibly stupid thing to say about the death of children who have absolutely nothing to do with anything you've said. They're only responsibility in what has happened was being at school and being shot.

This autism/asperger thing is becoming the same sort of scapegoating we see with muslims or arabs.. Despicable.

Please read.

And even if I wanted to, I couldn't send 'best wishes' to people who are dead.

There are too many labels. Everyone but normal/average people deserve to have a stigma! You would think being in the 50th percentile of anything were like winning the lotto. The society of the majority rules where the minority is always in the wrong/doesn't matter. Every type of person has done "messed up things," but it never seems to really register until someone unlike you does it, be it race or personality. One day, I want to hear what's wrong with normal people. Why aren't they better? What are their inhibitors? Too few labels and not enough stigmas if you ask me.

following it up with your 'regrets' doesn't take back what you had said. I don't understand what more you intend I read.

There's a difference between doing messed up things and hurting others in the very basic sense of the word. When you go and shoot children, it's not a labeling issue, it's a "this needs to not happen again" issue. And so far, it seems that it's not working out.

There's no "best wishes" to send, those parents who lost their children will never be the same again, their lives are pretty much over. I feel sorry for what happened. But as others have said... it's going to happen again, because this can't be stopped.

I just wish these news outlets would focus on the people we lost rather the man who took their lives.

They really need to stop playing it on the news 24/7. We are bound to have another copycat shooting within the next 3 weeks. They keep glorifying the shooters picture and talking about him. Its only gonna give more ideas to those who are also sick out there. As for some people saying that its crazy that he was able to get the guns, the guns were owned by his mother, whom he had killed. He then took the three pistols and conducted his spree
If you ain't first, you're last.

It's just the preference of Western society talking since the majority happens to be extroverts instead of introverts. If it would had happened in an Asia country no one would talk about it this way since they prefer a more introvert perspective to life where as extroverts are considered as the strange ones.

Was this guy even a true introvert though? He might not had been hanging with the cool guys in school, but he did attend LAN's and such, true introverts don't really spend time with larger groups at all. I don't think you could call him pure introvert.

And now I hear WBC is coming out here to picket at the funeral for these children. Apparently they believe this is "god's punishment for Connecticut legalizing gay marriage."

Who's with me on forming a blockade so the families of the victims don't have to see this sickening nonsense?
