Stay classy sir. . .

Hellmuth's Mole;342066 wroteAnd what the FUCK does the discussion you want to have here change about this incident?

It doesn't change anything at all, that my whole fucking point.

I thought the point of threads was to discuss the event at hand and share news as it develops, so that we can share thoughts and feelings on specific events or topic, no?

Gun debate is a whole other can of worms is all I'm saying.

If you really believe that you're raising the bar of ignorance.

Since one guy tried a shoe bomb everyone has had to remove their shoes at an airport. Since Columbine there have been 30+ school shootings...what will it take to get some change?

Ya.. fuck it

This is the perfect time to talk gun accessibility / control. If not now, when? The next tragedy?

Don't give me that "stop blaming the tools" bullshit too, if there wasn't any guns, sure there would still be some sick individual going out and killing people, but 27 in the span of a few minutes with a knife? Unlikely... harm reduction at the very least.

Costanza, I get you don't want this thread politicized, but everything goes OT here, and if anything guns are a directly related topic. It's going to happen.

Humanity needs an intervention... anyone that now says it's not because of guns, and gun ownership needs to be protected is no better than some of the other zealots out there. Stop it. All the pro-gun people would very likely change their tune if it was one of theirs that were killed. And I'm not always right, but I'm right more often than not, and this is one of those times.

Look guys, this whole thing is sickening.. I can't believe that anyone would do that to anybody, never mind all those 5-10 yr olds...
Please stop with the arguing amongst each other over something which should imo be a separate topic. If the lack of class continues I'll just lock it..

Hug a kid this weekend and spend time with loved ones... This is completely senseless...:(

Maybe, but do you care to admit that our country should reinstate Capital Punishment?

I am pretty sure the cops were taking this guy out whether or not he tried to surrender and people wouldn't lose a seconds sleep over it! Because life in prison would have been to good for this guy.

Umm... no, it most definitely shouldn't. That's another one I'm right about if you want to look at, you know, science.

Its going to get a lot worse before it gets better. Wait till people start walking around with home made bombs in public places. Its only a matter of time.

There is too much greed and hate in the world right now and the people who can make change don't act fast enough as their children are locked up tight with 24hr security etc.

Once one of these loonies hits someone important there will be change. Until then we are all collateral damage waiting to happen. Stay safe

Bingo. Let's at least have 24hrs before we start a shit storm.

Have at it after that. We just changed the channel, because my wife couldn't stop crying. The media is descending like vultures. There'll be lots of time to discuss the relevant issues in a few days.

Good god I'm slow today...

I just realized that you think this wouldn't have happened if we had the death penalty!!! WOW is that ever wrong. Not only does the majority of research show that deterrent don't mean shit, but the dude ended up shooting himself.. hardly someone that likely cares about death penalty.

compuease

Thanks Mark.... Not the time or place... Locked..

compuease

After thinking this over and discussing with a couple of other people who's opinions i value I am leaving this locked over the weekend to allow a cooling off period and show some respect for the people involved... Will open it up on Monday to discuss... If we had of simply used it to update info and show support, etc I would have been fine with it but to allow it to degenerate into a free for all this soon is just too much.

good call

compuease

Opening this thread back up for discussion of news updates and stuff to do with this tragic event. This is not the place to argue about gun control, lathe control and the like. Please use either of the other 2 threads for that.

compuease

Moved all that illuminati crap to the I'm mad as hell thread... Continue there. if you wish to post stuff appropriate to the tragic events in CT here then great. Do not post the other crap here or you will get a banning... I promise...

compuease

In light of trying to put a more positive spin on this thread.. Did many of you watch the coverage of Obama's visit to Newtown? My wife watched it while i was out and found it very moving... I will watch it as she PVR'ed it for me.. She was moved to tears... Takes a lot...

And forget the conspiracy stuff... Take it elsewhere...

They probably had things like this a bit all over but yesterday at WWE's ppv event they had the audience stand up in silence while they rang the bell 26 times to show respect for the victims and families of this shooting. I've never seen a WWE arena that silent

I read that the funerals are starting today for the kids.

If Fred Phelps and his cult show up, I'm guessing it's going to get messy.

Did anybody see the vigil for these victims?

Oh, none of the children were killed before the attacker was disarmed?

Weird.
