2 dead. Hopefully the others make it out alive. This needs to stop.

It is sad that such things keep happening, but in the grand scope of things it is only to be expected. There are almost 50 million students in the United States and to say there is a way to stop every single one of them from taking such an action is ridiculous. It is never going to stop because it can't, and that's just the reality.
If they really wanted to do something about this, they could provide additional funding to schools instead of wasting it on foreign aid so the districts could hire more mental health professionals and law enforcement to better protect students and prevent these sort of things before they start.
We cannot change our past. We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude and response.

TRVP_LVRDSummary of what you have said so far: "Oh what's this? Some innocent kids were killed in a school shooting? We'll let me undermine them by explaining how kids that push drugs, prostitution, weapons, etc are the real victims here".
You both should shut up, any time a kid is shot down it's a tragedy no matter what his background.

This one was very close to me. After the shooting happened they came on the PA and announced to us that the shooting had happened, and that there was no threat to us. Set a sour tone for the rest of the day, many of us where on edge. It's easy to watch it happen on the news, but when it is truly near you, there is a different impact.

School shootings fucking suck. They define schools for a long long time. Columbine is more of an event than it is a school even after so long. Every time you tell someone that you go to [school shooting-school] it gets so awkward and is usually accompanied with awkward silence and distant stares. They are awful manifestations of all the culminating evil in someone and any disconnects in their brain.
I go to arapahoe high school btw

tonysupranoThe whole "Chicago kids murdering each other" is a not a good defense, because that whole situation is actually beneficial to society. Certain portions of this country, and world, should be nuked.
Just because they don't know who their daddy is, is no reason for murder. You sound racist...

I hope this is a bad attempt at trolling because that was an extremely social darwinist and ignorant thing to say

CheeFKids that shoot up schools are cowardly. Oh no they were bullied and there lives were so tough, how about learning to be strong and standing up for themselves. If that can't be done, get a GED or change schools. I hate how all of this blows back on gun rights.
Ya fuck them for having mental issues that they can't control! Most of the school shooters have very serious mental illnesses and sadly are overlooked. I also go to arapahoe high school and after reading the press release I was shocked. The shooter refered to himself (in his journal entries) as a psychotic sociopath. He talked about how a mass killing has been his dream as long as he could remember. How fucking unsettling is that. Nothing was going to stop this kid from doing what he did unfortunately because he was dead set on his plan. And Im not in any way justifying what he did, or why he did it, I'm just saying its not as easy to brush it off for these kids as you'd think.

Having mental disorders doesn't necessarily mean lacking conscience. I battle depression every single day, and have strongly considered suicide. However, the only thing keeping me from it is the impact I will have on the lives of others and the world. The point I'm trying to make here is understanding that life is not singularly about yourself, and it is more important than delusions of self motive.

They should just kill themselves then, no need to harm innocent people.

where the fuck do americans get the fucking idea that you take a fucking gun to a cock sucking school and start shooting it? sure the same thing may happen in other countries occasionally, but i hate to point out the obvious but this horse shit happens in the USA multiple times a year and seems like its becoming a trend

Why do psychopaths kidnap people, rape and kill them or torture and mutilate their bodies? It needs to STOP. Well geez, good fucking point, let's get right on that..
So much hysteria over a bunch of bullshit. I was just talking to a few people about what the fuck happened to America that made it full of such spineless cowards who are afraid of fucking everything. Conclusion is that we live in a country that is controlled by the media. The media reports nothing but bad story after bad story so people start thinking they're going to get shot at school, ebola from an African, raped by the next man you meet... All of this causes people to want to give up and give all the control possible over to the government to protect them. Year after year we lose one liberty after another but has the overall murder rate gone up? NO. Sex and violence sells and that's the bottom line, so that's all we get fed in the media.
As pointed out, roughly 50 million students in the United States. Lets say there, oh maybe 5 shooting related deaths a year at school (which I'm sure is a high number), that puts the odds of 1 out of 10 million that you are killed in school. That's up there with getting killed by lightning, airplane crash, eaten by a shark (while walking to school I might add).. The odds of getting killed in a car accident are about 1 out of 5000, that's what, 10,000X more likely than getting shot at school? Are you fucking kidding me, people are afraid of this? Let's immediately go into hysteria and get rid of all guns.
I get what some of you are saying that a shooting taints a school for years. I feel for you. It's strange that Colorado seems to be such the hot bed of psychopaths. My old company we had two headquarters--one in Houston, and one in Denver. It's funny, because Texas is known as the gun toting red state. Yet when it comes down to it, the people we feared coming to work and going on a killing spree (yes, we actually talked about this) were all the ones from Denver. There is something in the water out here..

zzzskizzzIf we give everyone a gun then no one will need a gun, gun problem solved. Wounder what gun nuts have to say now. Being that we all know it's just a matter of time before the next one happens, nothings going to change with the laws or back round checks.
I'm a gun enthusiast, but I definitely think the more guns there are, the less safe we will be (due to accidents, not mass shootings). Plus, you ever think it could be possible if a lot of people had guns that a shooting happened in a public place, and as John Hero pulls out his saturday night special to stop the shooter, another guy sees John with the gun and shoots John because he thinks he's the shooter...fuck who knows how big of a chain reaction that could be...know what I'm saying?
There's probably not that many less non-drinkers than people without guns in this country. You're far more likely to get killed by a drunk driver. Ain't that a bitch? But bottom line, how big of an outcry do you hear every time a drunk driver kills somebody? Everyone wants to see the driver get toasted like a bagel, but is there a mass outcry to for prohibition every day? Just because you don't partake in something doesn't mean you get to shit all over everyone who does. If it's become so bad in the U.S.---move.

A few years ago, 4 kids, from this high school (or one near it) were killed when the car they were 'jumping' while drunk flipped and rolled off the road. My cousin was the sole survivor, and he lives in a wheel chair from here on out. -2x the number died, but nothing made the Seattle Times, let alone national papers.
Is this a tragedy? Yes, but people die, it happens. Two died here, and it really really sucks for their families and friends; but lets stop pretending its a national fucking disaster.
Mean while millions of our youth are set up for a miserable and pathetic life of meritocracy by a school system that is too worried about being nice to them, many will die of hart disease because no one does PE any more, and is too scared to tell a fat fuck he's a fat fuck.
Those kids are being failed - and no one gives a fuck.
At the end of the day, not a single one of us is getting out of this world alive. Of all the ways to go, a gun shot wound with your head held high ain't that fucking bad.

Awesome fallacy, unfortunately alcohol has absolutely nothing to do with this discussion, and if you want to talk about drunk driving accidents make another thread. The point is there's going to be another school shooting only a matter of time.
