Guess you completely missed the Late 1980's and 90's.

Seattle Times reports 2 dead, including the shooter who killed himself, and 4 injured. But the info is all unconfirmed and there seem to be conflicting reports from other sources. I'm hearing another news guy saying 5-6 injured.
He only committed suicide AFTER he realized what he did.

That was then and this is now. The psychology has changed.


Back then, we didn't have weirdos thinking every school shooting was a "false flag" operation.

Too bad the shooting wasn't just the usual gang banger capping some rivals a block from school in some bad urban neighborhood so we could all just ignore it.

What an amazing display of historical ignorance.

That's a modern failing.

I think automobiles need to go. How long are Americans going to tolerate their children dying in traffic accidents?

Clue for you: guns have been around since the founding of America and yet mass shootings have only been going on for a fraction of that time. So perhaps the availability of guns isn't the actual problem.

Outlawing guns to stop mass shootings is the same level of stupid shallow reasoning as outlawing cars to stop traffic accidents.

Naw not buying it.
No, I'm not saying that. I'm just saying it's convenient, that's all.

This is very sad. Now there are 2 dead (one is gunman) and 4 injured (3 critically).

There are 6 families whose kids went to school as usual today and will not be coming home tonight as usual.

The MKULTRA tinfoil hats were out in full force when Patrick Purdy shot up Cleveland Elementary back in 89. Pre-internet forums and blogs.
