Our prayers also go out to the families affected by this.  With these kinds of situations, I tend to wait until more facts are in before commenting on anything.  Late reports are that the shooter may be have some kind of mental condition.  So, I guess we will get to wait a bit longer before all the facts are in.  This appears to be a crime with victims in several places.

God bless all the victims and their families.

I would urge caution in making any opinion of what may or may not have happened.In today's world of 24 hour news and instant need to know, the "facts" seem to change with each passing hour.We can't lock away every possible weapon whether it be a semi-auto pistol to a butcher knife to a cross-bow to fertilizer and racing fuel.If anything,we as a society, need to re-learn that not only is our own life valuable but that of others is just as valuable.

After spending the last year being hospitalized as a victim of a national crime nitemare.....and looking at every angle and piece of evidence that so far is available , you wonder why society waits until a major catastrophe occurs before attempting to do something about it....


Why does it have to cost lives to wake up and step in and do something....The people who commit these crimes have histories that go way back openly and yet we dismiss them until its to late to intervene.

Why is it after it happens most can name the perpetrator who did the horrible act..........yet no-one can ever name one victim.


This time it was a room full of children......kindegarten and first graders.......none of them should ever be forgotten!!

My current "day job" is working with pschizophrenics and bipolars, and I have also worked with autism, and in a jail... after 20 years in the field, I have to say, I believe more in the reality of the demonic and evil, than I do in the idea that you can cure anything with a pill; in fact, prayer seems to do more in many cases, than "medication" does.

Where I work, I see a lot of "ticking time bombs" and the system is structured to hide that fact; we have recently had a couple of young guys who were threatening and posturing towards a coworker, for months, but what do the Powers That Be say? "He doesn't have a history.... he doesn't meet 5150 criteria..... as long as he is med compliant...." I beg to differ; you don't get into the system without a "history", because in order to get into the mental health system, you need to be arrested, and these guys were on probation. Just cuz they haven't stabbed or shot anyone, means they "don't have a history"? Also, the Powers That Be are always trying to push these guys "out into the community". To do what? Beg for money and cigarettes? Or maybe stalk a pretty neighbor? Dress like a weirdo and rant and rave on the street corner? The Powers That Be also say, "They are not allowed to do illegal drugs on the premises, but we can't control what they do off premises...." They essentially almost tell them it's OK to do street drugs, as long as it's somewhere else. Oh, and let's not forget "client confidentiality". The Powers That Be have told us, even if we have to call the cops, because someone is "acting out", we can't reveal any diagnosis or history to the responding officers! We could get fired, or worse, if we do! Look at the Batman shooter, and how hard they are fighting his psychiatric records making it into court. (That "history" would undoubtedly incriminate some highly placed powers).

See why I am eager to hit the road? In order to "serve those less fortunate", I'm expected to put myself, and the rest of the community, at risk.

The main stream media is eager to use this to push the issue of gun control, but how about policing themselves? Most of us on this forum are of an older generation, and guns have been around forever.... but this mass killing stuff didn't start to happen until maybe 20 years ago, when Hollywood began really, really pushing grotesque violence, perverted sex, and other demonic themes as the main forms of "entertainment", via movies, TV, and especially video games. ALL of these shooters have undoubtedly been addicted to violent video games, music and movies.

I'm hoping this situation wakes the country up, not to the idea that we need more "laws" to "control guns", but to the fact that the country has collectively swallowed a poison, which  is also our top export to the rest of the world, namely violence and sadism as "entertainment", and the use of drugs, both legal and illegal. Bread and circus, as the Romans used to call it. IMHO, demonic doorways have been opened wide, sponsored by the corporate media, and people need to start turning off the TVs, stop buying their kids these "games", stop supporting the demonic Hollywood agenda, and stop expecting pills to take care of every problem.
