It seems that news anchors are even having a hard time telling this story. I thought Ann Romer was going to just start crying her heart out

What the fuck is wrong with people!?!?

 

[Polymorph]

yeah just read this

CBS News reporting that the shooter was the father of one of the students. A 20 year old from New Jersey

Yeah I just saw this too. 18 kids or some such. Dunno how a man's brain can get wires crossed that badly in 'is head that killing kids n such is a viable thing to do.

Is it maybe bath salts or something? Like...Just sitting here speechless, truly. Hard to understand this kind of a thing.

i'm feeling a little sick to my stomach. unfathomable horror those kids went thru, and the little ones who'll be scarred for life that witnessed it.

 

[Blysspluss]

Like...a class of Kindergarten kids??

Man oh man...the shooter may be dead, but this is a whole lot of people(kids and adults) who will be living through torture for years to come.

I wrote on my facebook. "Well America, welcome to your gun laws. Take a Bow NRA" My American family and friends seem to think this means I have no compassion about this.

I'm shaking at my desk right now as a father with two kids I'm in shock.

My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone today.

So sad.

This is so horrible.

The U.S. is beyond fucked. The perpetrator will be given too much media attention, the NRA will shrug it off, and the same thing will continue to happen.

 

[Zorro]

Why are they, And who is, allowing them to interview kids from that school. Disgusting.

 

[acheron]

think I'm going to have to ignore news media for a week or so until the coverage gets down to a less-breathless level.

 

[seeker]

Everything about this story makes me sad and physically sick.

One might think it time to do something on the federal level.

They don't do that down south. "THINK"

 

[Zorro]

state police source indicates this could be worst school shooting in US history. One whole classroom unaccounted for. What a horrible, cowardly, pathetic person

I'm quite de-sensitize to all these shootings happening in the States. and not surprised in the slightest.
Jen mas posted a good point, about how she does not feel safe sending her child to school without having metal detectors at the entrance and I agree, if it helps.

US wants to run their country like that, all we can do is just sit back and watch. Not like any occupy movement made any difference and no one really cares enough to do anything about it.

Tragically, untrue. School shootings are common throughout the world.

There are parents in Connecticut who are going home to hidden Christmas presents for children who are dead
