Are we not so lucky to live in a country where children get shot up in schools, malls, and movie theaters on a seemingly monthly basis? Its absolutely disgusting.

Why? When is the time to had a serious discussion then? If anything this is the time to have a discussion. Sometimes you have to have a catalyst like this as tragic as it is.

You want to debate about gun rights then that's fine.
But go make your own shit hole of a thread.

It seems as thought there are always rumors of other shooters. But I read that another was at large, coupled with the fact the everything is getting locked down.... Gives that rumor a little more weight

I hope the media doesn't give him an fame. Don't publish his name, don't say where he was from, don't say anything about him. Just that he got killed. That is the reason these shootings happen. Not ever publishing anything about him other than that he got killed could easily prevent another shooting to occur if a potential killer realizes he might not get the attention he was seeking.

Terribly sad.
