Sorry about that. Of course, you are correct. The link I provided on the post (Link) correctly identifies the location as Bath Township, Michigan.

Since the largest mass killing of school children occurred there in 1927 (a total of 45 deaths and 58 injuries) and was committed by a lone whacko detonating a bomb, rather than by firearms, this won't fit the media/ozero narrative.

eh said that?

WHAT A STRANGE COMMENT.

Christmas just around the corner and he can;t mention how these children will not see it but mentions weddings !!!

The man is such a fool and as for this shooter, I’ taking it CT has strict gun laws as does all the north east maybe not VT, NH.
How about the media addressing morals, how parents raise their kids, how about broken families, nah it;s gun kills again.

No the media will go into overdrive to get their ratings, many now in this country especially the women around here over a thousand miles away are all going into who is the most upset with this.

Still for obama he can not let this crisis go to waste, it gets Libya off the headlines, the rigged election, the fiscal issues .

they’re still fluctuating between 18 and 20 kids, and 6 and 8 adults excluding the shooter

If I heard the sheriff correctly, he said 18 dead children at the school, two other children were transported to the hospital had died and I missed the number of adults. (numbed by the children count) Regardless, it's a senseless act of cowardice by the shooter(s) and any accomplices!

OR... his mother could have been an abusive crappy parent who raised a very missed up son.

Good parents normally raise good level headed kids.

I hate it when people on FR assume parents share no blame when a kid is all screwed up. Someone raised that kid.

(of course it goes without saying that I in no way condone killing an abusive parent or innocent kids)

ez writes: “Anyone noticing all the shooters are young white males? I’d be interested to find how many of them had been subjected to psychological drugs... ritalin, paxil, etc.”

Please qualify ‘all’?

To whom are you referring? The recent mall shooter was mixed race ...

Place in back of mind ... Who is taking notes and where and when will the copycats be coming? Dang, perhaps it is time for parents to put forward their own armies? All the feds want to do is take away our protections.

Press conference: said the shooting happened in one area of the school, in two rooms.

Considering the number of victims and mortalities, this sounds like a controlled, execution-style, shooting -- the work of a monstrous sociopath.

This doesn’t have anything to do with Obama’s girls. Get agrip. The man was faking and trying to make this about himself and giving his marching orders to his lemming media syncophants...gun control is coming.

And his media hasn’t missed a beat..that is all they are talking about now.

Probably as real as the ones Bill Clinton worked up for the camera while leaving the Ron Brown memorial. The man is a monster who will use this to further his attempts to subjugate us. He wants a nation of disarmed peasants.

0bama said that the deceased children had ‘birthdays and weddings’ to look forward to, but ‘Christmas’ didn’t occur to him?

Oooo, good catch!

I went to elementary school in the 50s. You never heard of deranged nutcases going on a shooting spree hardly anywhere. Back then people respected each other. Kids respected teaches and vice-versa. Now you have to pass through a medal detector to get in most schools. Alot of schools have a deputy sheriff assigned to the school. Kids respect no one. Teachers are scared to go to school. Gangbangers threaten teachers all the times. They sell crack cocaine all over the schools. All these shooting are a direct result of morality gone to hell in the US states and it all started with the bra burners, and the protesting draft-dodgers and taking God out of the classrooms. Unless there is a spiritual awakening and we start putting God ahead of ourselves, nothing will ever change. It will only get worse. Pray for the families of all those that lost a precious child, pray for the families of the adults murdered. And pray that God shows these evil anti-God, gun-grabbing liberals the evils of their ways. If there had been one teacher packing in that school there is a damn good chance the shooter would have died before he could have killed the first person. Facts are facts.

I can’t even imagine what kind of darkness lurks in the minds of people like that.

He is saying the kids won’t have a chance to grow up which seems to me perfectly appropriate. Whether this happened today or three weeks from now (that not all celebrate) is irrelevant.

Great story!

This was pre-Ritalin days, I take it, before the boys were relieved of their fight-or flight hormones.
