Thanks.
The truth is often unpopular.
But the more of the truth we understand . . . at least we know better how to protect ourselves and our families . . . especially, how better to pray.
And, when speculations and pontifications about causes of such disasters run the gamut . . . why is one exceedingly plausible one somehow off limits because of folks sensitivities to it? That I fail to understand very well.

"I am also tired of reading the perps died of a self inflicted gunshot wounds."
As I stated, that's perfectly fine with me.
We are far too nice to criminals and terrorists.

The State Police spokesman in his news conference said that there was a call at 10:36 to 911 from the teacher. The police were at the school by 10:45.

I know how you feel. I felt the same when I heard they were left alone with him. Sad, sad day.

I don't even look for it from the perspective of trying to attack the guy. I'm looking more from the perspective of not abandoning children to a psycho.

How could such fundamentally decent, sweet people give anyone 'the creeps?'
I think you know too little about them.

There is no "motive" that justifies evil. We learned that on 9/11/01, if not before.

I know, one of the teachers made it to a phone, there was not one on the premises.

if the perps want to off themselves, i really wish they would do it first - before they harm anyone else.

Only people who know nothing about the Amish/Mennonites would be creeped out. I've lived near them my whole life and they are, for the most part, fine people.

I doubt very seriously that they just stormed in without tying to negotiate. From what I read, they had established contact. I don't know how long they'd been talking to him, but he told them that he was going to count to 10, then start shooting. That's when they broke in. What were they supposed to do, just sit there, let him finish his count and have the time and freedom to kill ALL of them? At least the attack threw him off and his aim on the last few wasn't as good.
It stinks, but the killer left home this morning planning not to return, and the police had to deal with it as best they could.

But at least I'm always glad when these scumbags kill themselves. It spares all of us the excruciating long process of booking and trying the !$#$!@#$, in a fruitless game of gutless plea-bargaining leading to paying for them to sit in a nice prison where they can watch TV while working out and learn about the Koran. I don't agree. In cases like this, where it is clear the perp is guilty, then there is no point in processing them. The police should release the perp to the local community, and provide people with small knives, ice picks, soldering irons and acid, and let them deal with him. Police cannot assist, but should stick around to make sure they don't kill him too quickly. The execution should take a minimum of two hours, up to a week, to allow for overnight wound pain and infection.

We are trying to keep the focus on the children out of respect and are pulling any subject which could result in a hot sidebar, including homeschool debates and certain theories known to cause lengthy debate.
To: Abby4116
Usually there is one female teacher in an Amish school house. She is a young and unmarried.
To: La Enchiladita
I did not suggest that there was. But let's say the perp had been middle eastern? Wouldn't we want to know whether he was part of a terrorist plot or simply a different kind of creep who went nuts? That's why motive can be important. For our safety, not for any concern for the bastard himself.

He was going to kill today no matter what. He was a milk truck driver who dealt with the Amish. He also was supposed to take a drug test today, if he took it or not nobody is saying. He left notes for his wife and children which didn't make much sense. God know why he did this. On the news I heard it was revenge for something that happened 20 yrs ago. What a sad day it is for these families.
