This guy took out his mother and some twenty kids.

apparently if was a muslim he would be called a terrorist, black a killer but white now a gunman

Adam Lanza blasted his way into the Sandy Hook Elementary School. He fired a half-dozen thunderous rounds from a semiautomatic rifle to open a hole big enough to step through in one of the school's glass doors.
Once inside, he had to make a choice........

And he was suffering from bipolar disorder or some other fancy mental disease SMH.

Something similar happened during the Batman Premiere in Colorado where a "gunman" shot 12 people dead.

Video games (PC, Xbox, PS, Nintendo) are ruining our children. Too much Grand Theft Auto, Doom, Far Cry, Call of Duty etc.
Set out to correct the world's wrongs and you will most certainly wind up adding to them.

Morgan Freeman's take on this is quite interesting (see below)

"You want to know why. This may sound cynical, but here's why.

It's because of the way the media reports it. Flip on the news and watch how we treat the Batman theater shooter and the Oregon mall shooter like celebrities. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are household names, but do you know the name of a single *victim* of Columbine? Disturbed
people who would otherwise just off themselves in their basements see the news and want to top it by doing something worse, and going out in a memorable way. Why a grade school? Why children? Because he'll be remembered as a horrible monster, instead of a sad nobody.

CNN's article says that if the body count "holds up", this will rank as the second deadliest shooting behind Virginia Tech, as if statistics somehow make one shooting worse than another. Then they post a video interview of third-graders for all the details of what they saw and heard while the shootings were happening. Fox News has plastered the killer's face on all their reports for hours. Any articles or news stories yet that focus on the victims and ignore the killer's identity? None that I've seen yet. Because they don't sell. So congratulations, sensationalist media, you've just lit the fire for someone to top this and knock off a day care center or a maternity ward next.

You can help by forgetting you ever read this man's name, and remembering the name of at least one victim. You can help by donating to mental health research instead of pointing to gun control as the problem. You can help by turning off the news."
Lolest!

imagine if such incidents were to happen in Kenya. Our grumbling citizens would be all over reminding us that we are a failed state. Or asking police commish to resign. Or complaining that CinC is asleep.

It's so blasé to talk of psychopaths carrying guns. Especially when one implies that it's dangerous 'out there'. "We're safer in here."

There's no here or there. Everything is happening to everyone and everything, across the universe. Everything is a center. The center. So there's no center.

Meaning? We're the psychopaths. Each with a kind of weapon. Words, guns, ...

Shooting kills more people (read black) than anything else in the U.S.
