I’ll bet if I told you the phrase “the writing on the wall” has biblical roots, you’d challenge with; “which bible ... who’s bible”

They want people to believe it’s a “tragedy” because of the type of gun used and people aren’t buying it.

“2005???? You’re just a newbie who apparently likes to shut people up. Why be here then?”

Oooh you called me a newbie! If you think that’s going to stop me from posting my opinions, you’ll be sorely disappointed.

Sure, I realize that. However there is a subset of posters around here under the mistaken impression that the best way to respond to that is to try to convince people that no shooting happened at all. It’s insanity, and worse than that, it can only backfire, since it’s transparent insanity.

Don’t expound on it ... someone may accuse you of reading the bible and reporting your thoughts

Mental health issues, if documented=no gun for you.(legally that is)
Health insurance? Probably cancelled.
Unions should have gotten the proceeds to meet the dues requirements for union musicians. Or to the unionized medical workers to deal with their mental health issues. Sounds crazy to me.

The Hope & Healing concert, thrown together hastily by Christian artists, hosted by Max Lucado and held at the Arena at Harbor Yard in Bridgeport just days after the shooting, was sold out. The names of the victims ringed the arena on hi-def screens. Artists included Casting Crowns, Steven Curtis Chapman, Chris Tomlin, tobyMac, Laura Story, Mandisa and others.

The secret to their success was that this was not to raise money for "awareness". Everyone was quite aware. There was nothing political about this event.

Instead, it was an opportunity for people to gather in a large number to cry out to the Lord, to seek His comfort and draw closer to Him in a time of horrible tragedy.

If you had been following the Sandy Hook threads here from the beginning, you’d know exactly where it came from.

This whole thing boils down to the actions of an incredibly irresponsible parent bringing firearms into a house with a heavily disturbed son and allowing him unfettered access to them. She paid for her stupidity with her life. It’s horrible that innocent others had to pay for it also.

That the left has used it to further an agenda is simply standard operating procedure.

To benefit responders?

Not sure I get the concept there.

Or are you one of those utter lunatics who thinks nobody died?

Lunatics believe somethings happening on the moon because it's "lit up".

...organizer Chicago Musicians Care, which was created in response to the shooting.

^^^
Well, I guess the Chicago Musicians didn’t care enough, or they would have put on the concert anyway — just ‘cause they care so much.

“Well, I guess the Chicago Musicians didn’t care enough, or they would have put on the concert anyway — just ‘cause they care so much.”

Exactly what I thought.

They sure showed us the power of their convictions, didn’t they!

My guess is that they got a big cut of the take, and were expressly created for that purpose... but it is only a guess.
