And then just kill yourself afterward. How pathetic.

Well, if Adam Lanza had killed random adults, he would have been lumped together in the news with previous mass shooters. Many people wouldn't have even followed the news much because they're "used" to it by now.
The most insane part of all this is that they may not have randomly decided on kids or fire fighters, they may have done it very intentionally knowing the news would cover them more than they would otherwise. Yes, killing kids and firefighters is sicker than killing random people, and getting even more coverage on the news may be the motive behind it.
There may even be numerous ill minded murderous attention seeking freaks watching the news coverage right now, getting ideas directly from it. Oh but.. it's video games that are giving people murderous ideas, not the news that continuously proves to these sick people that mass murder works. I forgot.

Those firefighters had NO right trespassing on that man's property. He was repelling an obvious invasion and succeeded in deterring what was obviously a plan against him by the tyrannical government that convicted him of murder. He valiantly suppressed the insurrection that involved having his house set on ablaze, and the firefighters that were deceptively going to put out the conflagration on his own home but were obviously sent as part of an opposition militia learned a valuable lesson on Christmas Eve. He was facilitating his right to self-defense, he stood up to his rights to participate in law enforcement.
Turn off your TV on christmas. Don't watch the news. Don't visit the Huffington post or any other news site. There is always a tragedy being peddled. At least for one day, don't give in to the grief porn.

The real question is why wasn't he properly rehabilitated. When 60-74% of your incarcerated criminals re-offend within 3 years, you know your "lock em up to sort em out" mentality is not working.
And yet no doubt lots of people will call for stricter sentencing. I really despair of Average Joe sometimes.
There is a lot involved in this tragedy it seems. Hopefully the two being treated in the hospital will survive minimizing the impact. In addition, the suspect's sister is also missing and it is feared she may be among one of the seven houses that were set alight.
I'm curious as to whether or not this shooting was mimicking the Sandy Hook incident and if so what that has to say about the media encouraging this type of malicious behavior in troubled people.
Do we ignore the shooting because that's the only way we can stop these publicity stunts? Or do we mourn the shootings even more because of how you can possibly shoot a firefighter. Jesus.

Putting them away for life would be 100% effective in stopping them from committing another murder too.

That was sarcasm in a spoiler. You didn't quote how I really feel about the situation.

Because the majority of convicted killers don't murder firefighters on Christmas eve. It's an anomaly.
But they do have a tendency to repeat their crimes. Am I wrong in saying that? One could say that this particular criminal picked unusual targets and committed the crime at an unusual time..
