im sorry to hear that.....i wish your relatives and everyone the best. may no harm come to your family's.

20 people killed confirmed. this makes the oregon shooter look like a woosey boy. 18 babies never comming home to mom and dad

NOTICE how these shootings ALWAYS occur where guns are NOT ALLOWED...

How MANY children could have BEEN SPARED FROM DEATH if the staff at that school (or ALL schools) were ARMED and properly TRAINED to defend against this garbage?

HOW MANY CHILDREN would have been SPARED here from death????? HOW MANY CHILDREN would be STILL ALIVE RIGHT NOW if the STAFF there were ARMED AND ALLOWED TO ENGAGE ON THE SHOOTER AT THE VERY START OF THIS SHOOTING????

I just heard 26 dead, 18 children, 8 adults.

Anyone hear if there is 1, 2 or 3 shooters?

They reported earlier that the shooter was dead. Now hearing they are looking for the shooters?

No offense taken.. i'm not trying to point fingers at anyone or anything.. just that I knew bad things would be happening like this when I watched the mall shooting thread live.. i had a sick sick feeling...

I'm just gobsmacked at the number of differing reports! Everybody is reporting something different.

What in the hell is wrong with this world? What the hell would drive someone to kill 18 children?!

God I hope on 12/21 the world does end. Humanity is lost.

TV up here is saying 27 dead, 18 kids, 3 shooters so far.

This inhuman, I mean literally---it is inhuman for a person to want to shoot up an elementary school. Most people have an ingrained/biological imperative to protect babies/toddlers/children---its sort of instinctual to our species. Its the reason we all say "Awww" when we see a child or why we take of kids that aren't our own, as if they were our own child. The person who committed this crime looked a child and was able to somehow disregard thousands and thousands years of evolutionary and social conditioning. This murderer has to be disturbed.

30 people dead? I don't even have words to describe the shock I am in.

How can ONE person possibly kill 30+ people including CHILDREN, innocent children? How? Why?

Surely there were multiple gunmen? Guns jam, they need to be reloaded, doors can be barricaded ... no way one guy killed 30 people.

With the kinds of weapons available for people to buy in the USA, killing a hundred people in a minute is entirely possible. Someone can easily murder 30+ people within a few minutes.

It doesn't mean there must be more than one shooter.


American's might not like it, but this is what happens when you allow civilians with mental instability to own high-powered assault weapons designed for a battlefield!

Who says we allowed it?

If i were better at the computer stuff, i would be tempted to pull up some comparative year by year records for these type of incidents....
I do not believe this is all coincidental. not any more...after seeing the successful take over so far..........
There are some disturbing patterns that point in ominous directions for ordinary people.
With mind science and unscrupulous goverment, coupled with the usual evil motives of men, working overtime in hand with mass media manipulation WE ARE GETTING PLAYED BIG TIME!.
I cant help but notice that TRAUMA PRECEEDS SWEEPING REVISIONS TO LAWS....in a majority of cases these days.......
I do NOT belittle the suffering of real people involved......rather wonder if they are merely convenient pawns to
darker more deeply sinister forces.......
Due to the traumatic pathos of the situation.....we IDENTIFY with those victims and are renedered somewhat HELPLESS.....feeling powerless to do anything about such things...we are ripe for the enacting of further restrictive and far sweeping changes to the basic assumptions on which we have always based our freedoms.
The tide of violence whch is beginning to seem far to ARTIFICIAL to me is rising faster....
I would look for radical alteration of your basic freedoms very soon....
Too many of these random violences being enacted look like scripted psycho dramas....
I feel for these people......it saddens me to dwell upon it.....
Sometimes i think maybe THAT IS the POINT..................The nature of the violence is so unreal..............
We all FEEL SO MUCH BETTER when big brother "DEALS WITH IT"
Perhaps i worry too much......but when seeing these countless lives wasted, one begins to wonder ............why?

Perhaps we are being turned into more like an ant colony.....

i fear there will be many more deaths before the 21st. there are alot of freaked people out there, and the number of them that take this seriously cannot be underestimated...my advice, be very cautious for the next 7 days. be extra vigilant around large groups of people. look for people that look to be dazed, purposeful, focused on something other than their immediate surroundings, non-emotional. it will be hard to be this aware for all of this days...but, it might save your life. or the lives of others.

Things have been going crazy in this world.

I think this is just the beginning of that ride. Hold on tight and try to stay safe.
