OT: 27 Killed, 18 elementary school students shot dead CON

[kNiCk_PriDe]

They revealed the shooter's name and I found his Facebook.

yeah its Ryan Lanza, but are you sure you got the right one

1000% positive. From Newtown living in Hoboken.

I really hope people make sure who they accuse before ruining an innocent mans life

[seren]

I don't know about guns, but we have a mental health crisis in this country. That is for sure.

[cgmw]

Parents, how the F do you talk about this with your kids?

[MeloStateOfMind]

horrible news...

[Jstarks3]

uhhhhh it wasn't him?! wtf?! are those images photoshopped?

[j4remi]

This is horrific. Thoughts and prayers go out to the families of every child/teacher/staff member at that school. No one deserves that and it was an act of cowardice above all else...shooting at children...disgusting!

[falcindor]

New just in his father was found killed this morning in Hoboken. Im not sure because I only heard that from one outlet.

He killed an entire kindergarten class? Sometimes its hard to wrap your head around something like that.

I agree, and I think it is often looked over.

This what i learned so far. Our gun violence is 15 times higher than all the western countries combined.

Since columbine there have been 31 school shooting in us. 14 school shooting on ALL THE COUNTRIES combined.

We have a problem as a nation. When is it the right time to talk about it next week when all the countries attention turns to what celebrity is getting divorced or what kim kardashian is up to.

Great post.

This is too big, too symbolic, too close to home, and too close in time to similar incidents to get ignored.

My hope is that people are mobilized to overcome their political differences to fight this. Specially, the NRA lobby and the forces keeping funds from mental health programs, as well as law enforcement shifting attention from foreign terrorists to domestic mass murders.

[truth serum]

Disgusting society

lol feel sorry for this guy if thats true

hate to be a pessimist...

but within 72 hours, this willl all be yesterdays news, and the media will focus our attention on the next season of Dancing With The Stars and the latest Kardashian product line.

America loves it guns. It's a constitutional right. The gun control problem isnt going away any time soon.

[poeman]

Police are saying he used a .223 rifle. THis is a .223. This is legal


WHY THE **** IS THIS COUNTRY BEHIND OWNING GUNS. The loose gun control laws have **** our nation. **** everyone who denies it. Just look at Canada. Tell me if this **** happens there.

Pathetic joke...People in washington will never listen, not until they have to deal with a major tragedy

[ATTL]

lol feel sorry for this guy if thats true

Wow. If they identified him as the suspect incorrectly that would be amazingly stupid.

[HarthorneWingo]

Not in this thread man...come on. Let's not make it political.

Political? Try telling that to the parent who just lost a child in this incident. Try telling that to next parent who loses a child because no one is doing anything about this. This is not political. This is reality. You tell me, when is the right time to talk about this? How many more people have to die at the hands of lunatics in possession of assault weapons?

By the way the guy used handguns. You have to be way out there to shoot just random kids. Emotionally people arent built to do that. Im starting to feel that games the desensitize people need to be reviewed. Sure they dont make people do this. But emotionally it kinds of prepares the mind.

I heard on the radio that he also used an assault weapon. Whatever. Hand guns, assault weapons, rifles, I don't care. It's too easy to get these weapons in this country.

[HarthorneWingo]

The gunman's mother, who was a teacher at the school, was one of the victims. Dead.

[kane]

[Ursusamericanus]

Really puts things in perspective. These kids were getting an education, had bright futures, building a foundation...all that potential lost. Here I was worrying about finals. Absurd.

[falcindor]

I dont have a gun and will never will. Honestly if they could get rid of all guns that would be all right with me.
