Re: connecticut
What is wrong with todays youth? These things did not happen in the 60's and 70's...
There is no longer respect for rules or anything else.
What these kids watch on TV in video games and on the internet. All this must be having an effect on them.
It's always some coward that does this then kills himself. Now everyone will blame gun control, how about parents teaching respect again? instead now if a nun would dare hit one of these fine young people their parents would start a lawsuit. In my day I got hit by the nun then again when I got home....I learned to stay in line...
This kids brother's first responce was to get on facebook and tell CNN to go F itself because they named him as the killer as his brother had his id with him when he did the killing. I don't even want to think what this country is going to be like in 20 years from now...

Re: connecticut
Maybe for once - just ONCE - someone will report on what kind of prescription drugs he was taking, or if he had a shrink. Somehow little "oh by the way" tidbits like that always seem to get swept under the carpet. Wonder why.

Re: connecticut
All I could think about was all those parents who will not get to share another Christmas with their kids. My wife and I are raising our 6 year old grandson and I couldn't wait for him to get off the bus today. It's just so scary to think that this could happen again to so many young innocent children.

Re: connecticut
Our schools up where I am stopped classes this morning when they got the word. I am lost for words. They just sat in class and talked about what had taken place and cried and said prayers for those who lost there loved ones. I to had gone to catholic school and no to well the yard stick. But most of my learning came from home. Mom taught me how to turn the other cheek, and Dad taught me when to throw a punch. Best of both world. And these same teachings have been passed down to my kids. My son always holds a door open for a lady and my girls volunteer when they can to help those in need. May god send his Angels to guide these souls home to him and watch over the rest of us. Amen...

Re: connecticut
The only thing this animal did was hopefully reach the bottom of the barrel.I can't see anything being worst then this. My heart breaks for the parents of these children.
At this point we now HAVE to station armed guards at all schools. As sad as it is schools now have to become jails for learning. "Lock down" has to be a daily way of school life.
I don't know anything about the town it happened in but it sure looks nice, the type of place you would want to raise your kids in. If this could happen there it will happen again somewhere. This type of sickness is happening way to much now. Somewhere along they way we have failed..I thank God my daughters are normal productive people, I now have to worry about the world my grand kids will live in...very sad

Re: connecticut
My point is this – unlike in my youth, the last couple of generations have been fed a witch's brew of psychotropics doled out by drug pushers in the sickness industry parading as doctors and shrinks (who, by the way, have the highest rate of both drug abuse and suicide of any profession). Just wondering how many of these horrific events it will take before anyone really looks at that.
As long as people are caught up in the emotional shock of these events and instantly distracted by calls for gun control, doctors and big pharma (drug cartels) will continue to skate.

BINGO !!
Parents have been made to feel guilty about spanking their kids so when they misbehave they run to their doctors, who prescribe psychotropic drugs, as early as the age of 3. Our society has, by design, been socially engineered, and n-o-o-o¬-body thinks twice about it. Brings to mind and old ad – "why do you think they call it dope?".

Re: connecticut
Horrible event. Thoughts and prayers out to all the families. I can't even begin to imagine what the parents are dealing with.
I just can't stand that these tragedies are immediately turned into gun control debates. Yesterday in China a man went crazy in a school and slashed 22 kids with a knife.
My point is, crazy people will use ANYTHING available to do this violence. It's the people. When these kids stop taking prescription drugs they go berserk. Coming down off of them is 100x worse than why some doctor felt the need to put them on it in the first place.

Re: connecticut
Just saw a retired NY police officer who is calling for a change to the "gun free" school zones, I agree.. If the principal and or a few teachers had their own firearms for self defense, its likely that they may have been able to save a few children and possibly themselves.

Re: connecticut
Gun control is a sticky issue..Here in NY in order to carry a pistol you have to go through a very significant and long draw out application. Copies of which have to be approved by Local and federal agencies. It takes about six months of back round search's before you are issued a licence. Every pistol you own is registered with the police department and listed on the back of your permit. You cannot have any criminal or mental negative back round.
I have been licensed for 30 years and carry my Walter PPk with me every day, everywhere.
I believe if the right people have guns maybe these people would think twice before entering a school or mall or etc..if they know they may face an armed citizen.Along with ownership comes the responsability of controling your guns.It seems the mother here owned these guns legally, but did not keep them away from here son who may or may not have showed a mental problem.
Many don't agree with this but, in my opinion, if you take the right of legal ownership away from the good people only the bad people will have guns.
If you want to do something like this, no law is going to stop you. Maybe an armed citizen in the right place at the right time may..

Re: connecticut
terrible stuff.
I've had my carry permit for many years and while I often take a sidearm with me when I'm on the road I rarely CCW on my person.
I've reconsidered that and decided I'm going to CCW (conceal carry) more often now. It doesn't do me or anyone else any good if its at the house or left in the car.
The wife and I took the kids to a crowded outlet mall to make pictures with Santa last night. I had my CCW and no one but me ever knew, works for me.

I am truly saddened....what a waste of life.
It it me or am I seeing these sad events more and more?
Could this correspond to our societies' relaxation of capital punishment?
Just a thought.

Re: connecticut
Kinda seems like most of the core values are not there any more. The values of punishing kids when they are out of line, respecting adults and the other kids around them, and earning the things that you want or need. The days of that seem to be lost now due to what ever reasoning that anyone wants to use. I know when I screwed up, i was going to get my ass beat, and if I did not respect the adults around me either by action or attitude, well it was not a good thing. I just feel that we need to get some of the core values that were in the familes back and not let the liberial few take them away from everyone. Guns did not kill the people, it was a person that for what ever reason chose to do that. The gun was a tool that was used. As someone else said, if you own a weapon, gun, knife, or what ever, it is your responsibility to have them locked and secure so that no one should be able to get to them without your knowledge.

Re: connecticut
crazy people are just crazy, a common them in recent attacks is insanity.
This guy was a nut, its hard to believe from looking at him that he would do what he did. He murdered his own mother and then murdered a bunch of kindergartners...
There's no explaining that kind of evil and there's no real way to plan against it really.

Re: connecticut
My friends son shot and killed him a couple of years ago. My buddy was always good to this kid(never wanted for anything). My buddy was washing his car and his son walked out and dropped him. They said he has mental issues, but that doesn't bring him back. The one feel for is his wife. As for the kids in ct, I don't understand why, I could see if he killed kids that had picked on him or something but these where little kids. Just plane sad!!!!
