**”The public is no longer in danger,” Lt. Paul Vance said. **

Once again, the state police/janitors did nothing to protect the innocents.

Now, if the law allowed...*what if* one of thee school staff was *allowed* to carry...could the shooter been stopped? Not one reporter will bring this fact up.

Here we go again. A sad, sad day.

I’m not saying that. I am saying that there are young men (and women) who aren’t leaving home....25-26-27-28. A lot of them. It’s a phenomenon.

There is a noticeable downturn in young men of college age going to college, opting to go for an MCSE or other such certification. Courses offered and required at colleges are often plain old crap.

If you look at men who are in their 60s, 50s, 40s, 30s and 20s especially if you can see how they carry themselves—better if captured at the same age—there is a difference. In many respects.

Prayers to the victims and their families. A horror story. Reminds me of the killings IIRC of 5 little Amish girls at their school in 2007(?).

It may be that Ryan set up his brother and then shot him at the scene. Why would Ryan’s girlfriend and roommate be missing in NJ?
If his brother Adam is autistic, he probably doesn’t have a drivers license to drive to NJ to shoot anybody.

Just speculating.

I didn't say all mass murderers were white guys. I don't have the resources for a complete statistical analysis of all mass shootings. You believe what you wish... I will relate the words of Luke Woodham...

I am not insane, I am angry. I killed because people like me are mistreated every day. I did this to show society, push us and we will push back. ... All throughout my life, I was ridiculed, always beaten, always hated. Can you, society, truly blame me for what I do? Yes, you will. ... It was not a cry for attention, it was not a cry for help. It was a scream in sheer agony saying that if you can't pry your eyes open, if I can't do it through pacifism, if I can't show you through the displaying of intelligence, then I will do it with a bullet.

Just saw a replay of Obama’s statement. That jackhole can’t even fake cry right.

He kept rubbing the outside corner of his eyes.

Tear ducts are located in the INSIDE corners.

Taking my disgust with him to a whole new leve.

I don’t fear hijacked airplanes or dirty bombs.

As a parent, a Beslan scenario is what terrorizes me.

Teachers should be armed.

I agree. Also, any holder of a CCH, CHL, etc. should be able to carry on school grounds. The Israelis recruited parents and grandparents WITH GUNS to patrol schools in their North after the 1974 Ma'alot massacre. There hasn't been a school shooting since then. They had 29 dead out of a population of roughly 3.5 million - that'd be like us losing about 2500 people (i.e. roughly another 9/11).

I had a huge argument with the administrator of the local Jewish community center about his 30.06 sign (preventing CHLs from carrying inside under TX law) after a JCC was attacked in Seattle a few years back and, needless to say, he refused to change anything. I made sure that he knew that both the JCC and he personally were now the guarantors of my children's safety, and that if anything happened to them and I was unable to help them due to his reflexive anti-gun stance, that both would be sued and that I do my level best to get him charge with criminally negligent homocide.

I am SICK TO DEATH of hearing about murders in victim-disarmament zones - it is time to end them, and make for a less safe working environment for the assorted nuts in our society.

>>Nah this will not be mentioned because most in the media do not raise their kids, they get nannies, dog walkers instead of the kdis walking the dog, they get cleaners instead of telling the kids to tidy up after them, they go out to eat nearly every night instead of teaching kids how to cook and clean up after them.>>

Keep saying it, manc. Our society needs to hear it.

Lots of senseless murder happened in the past.

We're talking about non-war, senseless defenseless, mass shooting of the total innocent.

No, they did not occur at the frequency or scale that's occurring in today's modern America, if that is what you're suggesting.

Autistic? Asperger? These people don’t commit these kind of crimes. Unless coached.
