When someone has no hope, or respect for their own life, what do you think they feel about your life?
This is going to happen more and more from the coddled kids, that have never experience failure or are never let to fail. They are always the victim and it never their fault they are failures.

Yet Another School Shooting...

There have been 10 this year and one was a suicide.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._United_States

You act as if it happens every day.

Are you obsessed with them?

Do you have an agenda?

And I would NOT call this a "school" shooting.

Your title is VERY misleading.

I wonder why?

Are as obsessed with swimming pool drownings?

  • About one in five people who die from drowning are children 14 and younger."

If everyone were armed, or at least want to be armed, this gets stopped with in seconds.
There are always casualties in war.

When not armed, you don't have to run fast, you just have to be faster than the other guy.

I'm willing to bet that just the knowledge that one or several people could be armed might detract someone that plans a mass murder from going there. Labeling it a gun free zone just makes it an easy target.

Exactly.

They were out killing black people. Give them a break.

He was being home schooled because of attacking a student last year with a hatchet. Now this. Tell me again why we can't execute minors?

Hmmm...a lot of assumptions here..I'll try to address them:

I have no gun agenda..I own weapons and believe in the 2nd amendment--albeit more on the militia side..rather than as an absolute right to unbridled gun ownership. How you got I'm, 'anti-gun', out of my posting of a news link escapes me.

My title.."Yet another School Shooting"...was meant to convey both the truth of the news event in question--a shooting..at a school--with students injured--and my worry that this is an ongoing trend--10 in 12 months is a lot--IMO.

Not sure if I really have any 'obsessions', at least as far as C_D goes.
A quick look at your back posts might lead one to believe that you might have an obsession or two of your own--but I'll not make that contention.


Thanks for the data on accidental drownings--not sure why you included it..but it did remind me to lock the gate on the pool--so--thanks!
