    Absolutely terrible. I feel bad when any innocents are killed but it makes it more difficult hearing children were victims.

    So it's not a tragedy that 22 Chinese kids were attacked at school either? That happened today as well, so it is completely relevant.

    This.

    Some people can't stand a two way debate. It just doesnt register as "fair" in their little minds.

    The problem with these shootings is the anti-gun folks come out and blast guns, and the pro-fun folks come out and shout to defend their right to guns. In the mean time, we all ignore the real issue which is mental illness in our society.

    What I'm seeing is not a debate.

    If I posted articles about other mass shootings, I'd expect people to tell me to shut up as well.

    It has no place in this thread, it's just inflammatory bulls***.

    I just hope this isn't some insane LOTR fan dressed as an orc killing hobbits trying to give their movie a bump like the TDKR loony...

    Other countries DO have this problem bro.

    And it could have very easily been bombs/explosives/gas.

    Actually you're the opposite of a realist because you're willing to say as many noxiously stupid things as you are in support of the ideal of the 2nd amendment garbage (throwing the 1st under the bus in the process) as you can despite their disconnect from reality.

    if you were a realist, you'd realize that eliminating guns reduces the amount of people killed by guns under any equation.

    The fact that it doesn't reduce other kinds of deaths is irrelevant, just like having a malignant tumor removed doesn't mean you won't die of heart disease or alzheimers or a car accident.

    But if you can't see it, you're simply not being a rational individual - unsurprising, given you're dry-humping the "thread douchebag" role with furious relish in what many consider to be very poor taste.

    Don't be a dick. We both know that most gun owners are responsible.

    Showing that kids were attacked at a school in China as well is relevant (especially since it happened today), if you like it or not. Several pages earlier people were saying "Oh, Connecticut is so nice..." It can happen anywhere, that's the point.

    knee-jerk reactions blaming the wrong things is not an appropriate part of the coping process either.

    Bro, it doesn't matter if they were dressed.

    Whether or not if they were dressed as orcs or hobbits, they are just as crazy as the TDKR loony and all three deserves to be in hell.

    Tell that to Mexico, and their 10,000 murders per year.

    Why are you some of you channeling your anger towards other BBS posters? Direct it towards these two monsters & hopefully they'll burn harder in hell.

    Seriously these mother****ers deserve to die nameless & it's so sad that they won't. 2 stains of black matter that don't deserve anything but an eternity of a pain & suffering.

    Yeah cause the OKC bomber needed guns to execute his plan. This is about the kids and the victims, not gun control.

    This isn't ****ing China. This is not a third or second world company! There is a problem and you can't disguise it by comparing it to other countries. The United States of America and its citizens holds itself to higher standard!

    This. They'll become infamous, fueling future attacks by deranged individuals... and our society will gobble up the news over the next several weeks for hours and hours, giving the killer(s) exactly what they wanted in the process. To never be forgotten.
