[Tawpgun]

Holy shit, I have a little sister in an elementary school in CT. This thread name almost made my heart stop.

Thankfully not the same school.

Thoughts go out to all those affected in Newtown though.

 

[Ken Masters]

God damn


how many have we seen this year

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Ok, NOW can we have a national discussion on guns?

No, it's been too soon since the last shooting. Stop politicizing it!

This is so sad

Why would these monsters want to do this to children?

 

[Shambles]

I don't understand this 'Oh no not the children! but who gives a shit about the teachers and support staff' mentality.

 

[Kwhit10]

Rumors that a 2nd gunman may be at large is unconfirmed, probably why the school system is on lockdown.

 

[Mercury Fred]

God damn


how many have we seen this year

I know. Seems like a record.

 

[Takamura-San]

Ok, NOW can we have a national discussion on guns?

Too soon.

Can't wait for the next NRA convention on CT.

Sigh...

I'm glad your sister is ok!

 

[Omegasquash]

My sympathies go out to all those affected. I hope that the shooter is subdued and that minimal people have come to harm.

 

[aj1467]

Oh shit :S

Thank goodness she's not at the same school. Hopefully this ordeal is resolved swiftly, this is horrible.

CNN reports one child with a bloody face and another with a hand injury.

 

[MIMIC]

It's being reported a gunman has been killed.

I just hope it wasn't a student. Not that it matters in the grand scheme of things, but kids shooting kids is just a horrible thing to think about.

 

[Escape Goat]

I don't understand this 'Oh no not the children! but who gives a shit about the teachers and support staff' mentality.

Children are considered to be innocents. You seriously don't understand? People do care about the adults in the building but its always more depressing when children, whom we are supposed to protect, suffer violence of this magnitude.

 

[Vilix]

One child dead has been confirmed by the Hartford Current newspaper.

 

[LQX]

Wow! I hope no more kids die.

 

[Devolution]

One child dead has been confirmed.

Oh man =(.

 

[Takamura-San]

One child dead has been confirmed.

shit....

 

[Dresden]

One child dead has been confirmed.

Aw, fuck.

 

[Shambles]

Children are considered to be innocents. You seriously don't understand? People don't care about the adults in the building but its always more depressing when children, whom we are supposed to protect, suffer violence of this magnitude.

Obviously. But why do some people have this attitude that you can only support one group of people instead of all victims involved?

 

[Arsenic Yellow]

Poor children. Hope the injured teacher and two children are ok. School shootings are terrible, targeting an elementary school? Completely deranged people.

Edit:

One child dead has been confirmed by the Hartford Current newspaper.

Oh no poor child. Is the second shooter still at large?

 

[EVOL 100%]

One child dead has been confirmed.

Goddamnit...

 

[BFIB]

At an elementary school!?

WTF!?

 

[TheJollyCorner]

I really don't think the life of a child is magically worth more than the life of a teacher. 'Please let it only be adults that died!' is a really bizarre fucking response.

I don't think anyone is specifically saying that... and it's not about worth.
Little kids in a horrifying situation- of course everyone hopes it's not the kids that are hurt.

I would sincerely hope any adult (or even young adult) that posts here would put themselves in-between a gun and a child if the situation called for it.

 

[everyday math]

Just got out of the shower. The child that was reported seriously injured is now dead? Well fuck.

 

[Protein]

I read on Huffington that a teacher was injured as well.

 

[Escape Goat]

Obviously. But why do some people have this attitude that you can only support one group of people instead of all victims involved?

I don't see anyone doing that. I think its safe to assume most GAFers regret the loss of any life.

 

[Hari Seldon]

Is this an affluent area? Don't know much about Connecticut but I heard it is very wealthy.

 

[jett]

why :/

 

[ffdgh]

One child dead has been confirmed by the Hartford Current newspaper.

FUCK. Ugh

 

[Grym]

MSNBC - interviewee from a local affiliate says principal shot. Two students injured.
(currently unconfirmed).

 

[Az987]

I don't understand this 'Oh no not the children! but who gives a shit about the teachers and support staff' mentality.

Are you serious? Who said no one gives a shit about the staff?

This is horrible news.

 

[Protein]

That Portland shooting was depressing enough and now we have this..

 

[vas_a_morir]

My dad watches Fox News, and I heard the spin they were putting on the latest shooting. How will they spin this one?

 

[Kevtones]

FUCK.

 

[zerotol]

I don't understand this 'Oh no not the children! but who gives a shit about the teachers and support staff' mentality.

Can you show me a post where someone said they didn't give a shit about the teachers and support staff?

 

[CHEEZMO™]

Ok, NOW can we have a national discussion on guns?

 

[Dresden]

Obviously. But why do some people have this attitude that you can only support one group of people instead of all victims involved?

You're seeing things that aren't there. People are going to be more concerned about the children because they just aren't equipped to deal with situations like this. It doesn't mean no one here cares about the adults there.

 

[Kwhit10]

One child dead has been confirmed by the Hartford Current newspaper.

Currant says this

NEWTOWN—
At least one person is dead after a shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dickinson Drive.

I don't see where it says a child.

 

[Shambles]

Are you serious? Who said no one gives a shit about the staff?

This horrible news.

All the posts that basically just say 'Oh no the children!' imply that the adults don't matter. Anyways, I'll chalk it up to messages losing tone when posted on the internet. It doesn't really matter.

 

[Az]

Damn..

 

[gazele]

My dad watches Fox News, and I heard the spin they were putting on the latest shooting. How will they spin this one?

How'd they spin it?

This is horrible

 

[The Technomancer]

Motherfuckers...

 

[jmdajr]

One child dead has been confirmed by the Hartford Current newspaper.

awful

 

[Grym]

MSNBC
1 shooter dead - an adult.
2 handguns recovered

 

[The Lamonster]

what the fuck

Really hoping no kids were shot. There is a special place in hell...

 

[Ravensmash]

I don't understand this 'Oh no not the children! but who gives a shit about the teachers and support staff' mentality.

I'm sure everyone on here does give a shit about anyone caught up in this, but understandably children being potentially involved is a huge concern....

 

[Vilix]

Currant says this


I don't see where it says a child.

CNN is saying that is what they said.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Im tired of this shit

fucking crazy bastards

 

[jmdajr]

One shooter is dead. Confirmed by ABCS news.
