Wasn't that yesturday? Some people are nuts.

I think I put this in the wrong section.

I'm sure all those children had parents.

In the book "The Tipping Point" they discuss the issue of "Social" epidemics. A social epidemic like one this is when when one event (College\high school shootings) start become more common.

The issue is not that lack of laws, such as gun control, it is social barrier has been breached, and others feel they have been given permission to carry out such acts because one or more persons have already done it.

Copy cat crimes. For some reason these kids think they are going to go down in the history books. It's a shame isn't it.

She was worried about putting this post in the right place...hehehe

Why not just spare everyone else's lives and take their own if things are so bad?? It's sad that things like this are becoming so common now

 

[musicmom]

I agree. Sometimes young adults can be so cruel. I wish they would just walk across the room and talk to each other instead of grouping up and leaving people out.

I have been thinking and listening alot about this. We live about 25 miles from Champaign where the guy was attending school. The big question everyone has around here is why did he go back to NIU? Why didn't he do this in Champaign-Urbana? It is so sad. I keep thinking about what it will be like when my kids go to college. Somehow this has got to stop or I will not let my kids go.

You can't really stop them from going to college, it's happening everywhere ...random shootings in malls, etc..that's what's so scary

I've considered holing up and never coming out again. Seriously.

They found a gun on a little elementary school kid in our town. I hate sending my son to school every day.

That's scary. What in the world did they do to him?

 

[Amber]

I never heard anything more about it. Either I had not got the paper that day or didn't see it. I rarely watch the news, just read it in the paper. I know it's terrible that it even happened, but I'm glad it was a school across town rather than my sons.

Its so sad! I can't imagine what those families are going through right now. They all need a few more prayers

So did everyone hear about the girlfriend of the shooter going on CNN? I saw a little part of it on the news this morning. I guess he left her a note saying goodbye and he loved her. Like normally, she couldn't believe he would do such a thing.

 

[FionnaK]

That really is heartbreaking.
