I heard this on the readio a couple of hours ago and my heart broke!

It really is to bad the shooter was found dead inside the school, because had he been tried and sent to prison the inmates would have ripped him apart limb by limb, and even that would have been far less than he deserved!

At least one gunman attacked a suburban Connecticut elementary school Friday, killing at least two dozen people, including 18 children, law enforcement sources said.

At a televised news conference from Newtown, Conn., State Police spokesman Liquid Trust. Paul Vance refused to give an exact number pending notification of the families. Other reports place the number of dead at 27, including the children.

“There were several fatalities at scene, students and staff,” Vance said. “There will be no other information until families are told.”

The gunman was dead at the scene, Vance said, adding that there was no longer any danger to the public.

“It’s still an evolving crime scene and it’s just hours old,” Daniel Curtin, a FBI special agent in Connecticut, said. “And it’s obviously very tragic. All we’re saying is that the FBI and our agents have a presence there to assist in any way possible. Because right now it’s a Connecticut state and local investigation at this point. But in times of trial like this we work together.”

Law enforcement sources in Washington said the gunman was in his early 20s and was the father or another relative of one of the children. He had four or more weapons and was wearing a bulletproof vest.

A weapon was recovered at the scene.

According to sources, the event began with an argument with the principal. Some of the staffers were shot first, then the gunman advanced on a classroom, shooting.

In Washington, President Obama was briefed on the shooting, spokesman Jay Carney said.

Carney wouldn't say whether the shooting would make gun control a higher priority on the president's agenda, but he said there would be a day for discussion on that policy issue.

“But I don't think today is that day,” he said.

At least three wounded have been taken to a hospital in Danbury, Newtown Mayor Mark D. Boughton confirmed.
“I can’t discuss who they are but some injuries are serious,” Boughton said.

In a statement posted on its website, Danbury Hospital said: “To date, three patients have been transported to Danbury Hospital from the scene.
"Out of abundance of caution and not because of any direct threat our building is under lockdown. This allows us simply to focus on the important work at hand,” the hospital stated.

Officials were still investigating the incident, which began at about 9:40 a.m. EST at the school in Newtown, a town of about 27,000 people.

Within hours, officials were reporting that the gunman was found dead and two handguns were recovered at the scene.

Stephen Delgiadice told reporters that his 8-year-old daughter heard two big bangs and teachers told her to get in a corner. His daughter was fine.

“It's alarming, especially in Newtown, Conn., which we always thought was the safest place in America,” he said.

The superintendent's office said the district had locked down schools in Newtown, about 60 miles from New York City. Nearby schools also were locked down as a security measure.

This is the most sad thing I have experienced since 9/11. I felt my face get hot and my eyes swell when I was was informed of this tragedy. Babies. They were just babies..
What in someone's life can go so horribly wrong that they decide to enter an elementary school and start shooting 8 yr olds?

I have read alot of bullshit about gun control today piggybacking on this massacre in the shadows. I personally don't like guns but it is not the guns that do the killing, it is the icy finger that touches the trigger. It does not matter if its an assault rifle or a BB gun, the concept is the same. People kill people, not guns. The gun did not just walk into the school and do this on its own. Criminals will get weapons whether they are legal or not. Killers will kill even in a gunless society. I think the primitive yet efficient spear testifies to that argument. Can you kill as many people with a spear? Nope and that is what they will focus on.

They need to focus on the critical mental stability of America rather than the guns. Similar to Columbine, the video games did not make those kids do what they did. THEY made themselves do what they did. We are in trouble as a nation and events like this do not indicate any relief as finger pointing reaches a zenith on this case. Right now the government and media is dying to find something to blame this on. What if they find out the kid has a stash of comics in his closet? They going to blame it on comics that have been around for decades? Can't wait to see what they blame this on. Nope don't blame it on some misaligned kid that just snapped in the pressures of youth.

Plus it will be near impossible to disarm America... Short of bending the constitution, imposing a form of martial law and door to door searches with threats of federal imprisonment.. oh wait that may be another topic in and of itself that I have no interest in discussing.

So what would they focus on if the kid did all this with a crossbow or a butterknife? You can kill someone with a stapler but they are not going to take them away either.

Monsters walk this earth among us. I have never been a super religious type yet I cannot help but notice that there is something so dark that can make people do stuff like this. There must be an opposite to this darkness and that is what we a a nation should focus on and stop this downward spiral America is traversing. Whatever that may be..

I'm stricken with grief over something as terrible as today's event and feel for the families of not just the deceased, but for those babies who survived that have this engrained into their minds forever.

I was on the freeway coming home when the news broke, and when they said 18 elementary school children were killed, I had to pull of the highway for awhile, cause I couldnt see through the tears streaming out of my eyes.

Its one thing to kill an adult, but to kill an innocent child? The guy that did this deserved so much worse than a quick death at his own hands!

I was sitting in a Federal Detention Center on 9/11 and there were around 5 muslim fucks! who were running around cheering.

I REALLY wanted nothing more than to rip their fucking throats out and shove them up their sorry fucking asses!

But, by the time tower 2 fell I knew without a doubt that there was at the very least major government collusion involved, then when building 7 fell I was left with absolutely no doubt.

It's one thing for a sick bastard to shoot a lot of innocent children and I will remember this day as the saddist day of my life for as long as I live, but for BUSH and the federal government to be involved in the murder of over 3,000 american citizens to further their agenda is what killed my faith and belief in what was once the greatest country that ever existed!

A former boss of mine lives in the town that the elementary school is located in.

I emailed him to see if him and his family were ok and he replied and said they were, but his friends and neighbors were affected.

This is absolutely a senseless and cowardly act and the shooter got off way too easy by a death at his own hands.

Trust me, this guy is getting what he deserves right now even as I type this message. He is now at the supreme court of the universe. He is now looking into the fiery eyes of the Lord and it aint gonna be pretty for him.

Jesus said...

Matthew 18:[6] But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

I don't usually go all Biblical on this forum. But in a situation like this...well, that's a different story.

Public mental health assistance is a joke in this country.
They are essentially pill mills and welfare for doctors.

One local place makes it's living filing SSI applications for patients.
Basically anyone who goes there is encouraged to file for disability, then the mental health hacks push the app.
They resubmit and make up whatever they need to until the individual is approved, then they take 50% of the lump sum back pay.
This often ranges from 5k to 20k a shot.

They are also in the business of extorting money from individuals referred by the courts for evaluation.
Those ensnared in the criminal justice system have real incentive to pay and are the priority.
Self referrals have a 4-6 month intake process with a small mountain of forms and app, all for 15 mins with a doctor who refuses input other than standard diagnostic questions to be answered in a yes no format.





Very sad.



America cannot be disarmed.
If guns were outlawed tomorrow I'd bury mine, and not all on my property.
