WHAT THE FUCK .

 

[Arcteryx]

CNN said 2 adults on their website, now I'm reading these other reports about "dozens"...really wish they would WAIT until they have some info before reporting.

Sad story either way

 

[AlexBasch]

No fucking way.

EDIT: Did CBS report that in their news coverage?

 

[Cloudius12]

27?! Holy shit.

Holy shit

 

[MightyHealthy]

What the fuck

I had a bad feeling they were taking time to fully confirm the horrible news. So sad.

 

[Westonian]

CBS News confirms: 27 people are dead in Connecticut school shooting. 14 are children.

 

[Nokagi]

Horrible. Gunning down little kids... it just does not get any lower than this. Fucking hell.

 

[Guevara]

What blows my mind is that all these shootings happen and no one (besides anti gun people) suggest anything should change.

What the fuck. When there's a mass shooting every week something needs to change. Don't just tell me guns don't kill people, propose something, anything, that will maybe curb the number of people killed by guns.

 

[Az987]

I hate guns as much as anybody, but this happened today in China and has happened there before. My point is if you are a fucking nutcase it doesn't really matter your weapon of choice.

Yeah but no one died in China. Its easier to kill people with a gun.

 

[Leeness]

27 dead per CBS. At least 12 students.

((((((((

Please tell me it's not all kindergarten kids. I mean, bad enough that it's kids but little 5 year old babies? (((((

CBS News confirms: 27 people are dead in Connecticut school shooting. 14 are children.

MOTHERFUCKERS

 

[7Th]

No. There needs to be punishment for criminal acts. The disconnect is that merely owning a gun shouldn't be a criminal act.

Owning a gun without a license should be a criminal act.

I hate guns as much as anybody, but this happened today in China and has happened there before. My point is if you are a fucking nutcase it doesn't really matter your weapon of choice.

You just proved his point; that incident had no mortal victims.

 

[Outdoor Miner]

I'm tearing up. Just heartbreaking.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

What the Fuck....

wow

 

[BadAss2961]

CBS is saying 14 of them were kids.

 

[Devolution]

CBS News confirms: 27 people are dead in Connecticut school shooting. 14 are children.

Dear lord I hope they're full of shit.

 

[totowhoa]

Yeah, there's no way this doesn't cause some serious discussion on guns. Jesus, I'm absolutely shocked by 27 victims, a dozen of which were kids ten and under. I normally don't let myself get too emotionally bothered by this stuff, but damn

 

[HeySeuss]

I wonder if this is going to turn out to be a failure on the schools part to intervene on a bullying situation and that's what the dad snapped.

 

[Nevasleep]

Damn I thought it was going to be just an adult. Three patients treated at hospital.

 

[Kwhit10]

Holy shit I go to lunch and come back to this? WTF, this is horrible

NEWTOWN—
Multiple people, including children, have been killed in a shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

The number of dead is unclear, but there are at least 20 shooting victims. Many of the shootings took place in a kindergarten classroom, sources said.

number of dead going to be in double digits. At least 27 people are dead according to WFSB in CT

 

[ZombieFred]

What the fuck.

 

[CrankyJay]

fucking sick

 

[j_k_redtail]

27 dead, 12 kids.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

CBS News confirms: 27 people are dead in Connecticut school shooting. 14 are children.

Ugh. Just ugh.

 

[DR2K]

How many gunman were there?

 

[Deified Data]

How much hate would you have to be bridled with to do something like this?

 

[EatinOlives]

CBS News confirms: 27 people are dead in Connecticut school shooting. 14 are children.

Jesus christ...

 

[Choke on the Magic]

People will get murdered whether it's illegal or not.

People will rape whether it's illegal or not.

The 2nd amendment sucks.

You are so right! Please take my firearms away from me. I shouldn't own them.

I think it's safe to assume that the shooter were mentally unstable so why not take steps to keep firearms from criminals and mentally unstable people instead?

 

[slit]

CBS just said 27 dead, a dozen of them kids.

Oh my god!!! This is a nightmare!!

 

[fluffydelusions]

HOLY SHIT

 

[daw840]

Owning a gun without a license should be a criminal act.



You just proved his point; that incident had no mortal victims.

Well we already kind of do that in some states. Not disagreeing with you honestly. I'm for some better control over this.

 

[Klyka]

How do you just, like, wake up and say to yourself "Today, I am going to shoot elementary school children!"???

 

[Expendable.]

This is horrendous

 

[Partial Gamification]

What blows my mind is that all these shootings happen and no one (besides anti gun people) suggest anything should change.

What the fuck. When there's a mass shooting every week something needs to change. Don't just tell me guns don't kill people, propose something, anything, that will maybe curb the number of people killed by guns.

The NRA talking points will be on tonight's conservative news networks. They are in full damage-control mode, rallying the "troops."

 

[Az987]

This is heartbreaking.

I'm so sick of things like this happening.

 

[brumx]

even if you ban guns you can still get illegal ones from Mexico easily like AK47

 

[dorkimoe]

So by this line of thought illegality is a non factor in everything?

No? Not at all....you cant stop everything, I have a gun..guess how many people I've shot?..Yeah 0...but we better take it away from me. Should we take away everything that could possibly used as a weapon? Better get some of those scissors that wont even cut paper. Background checks are run on people who own guns (at least in my state) thats all that can be done.
You really think if we had NO guns this wouldnt happen still in a different form? So again someone said an automatic weapon was used...yeah thats not even legal so just proved my point...its people.
Not trying to take away from the situation, its horrible, it was horrible in 1999 at Columbine. But it gets old blaming guns, or musicians, I bet youre going to get all defensive when they blame video games within the next day. Anyone who actually goes through with shooting up an ELEMENTARY school has a problem

 

[totowhoa]

How many gunman were there?

I'm not sure if we know yet; some people left the scene in a van.

 

[BadAss2961]

How do you just, like, wake up and say to yourself "Today, I am going to shoot elementary school children!"???

No idea. This is way too much now.

 

[j_k_redtail]

Per local news: "An entire classroom is unaccounted for at this time."

 

[Marleyman]

Horrendous...kids getting shot in a small town in CT? What in the hell is this?

 

[cwmartin]

I wonder if this is going to turn out to be a failure on the schools part to intervene on a bullying situation and that's what the dad snapped.

I know you aren't meaning any harm whatsoever, but let's not speculate any cause while they are still counting fatalities.

 

[True Underdog]

I'll probably stop now as it's getting very off topic and a little bit disrespectful (which really wasn't the intent).

Come on, Fragula. This was disrespectful from the start. :/

 

[MrPink93485]

Per local news: "An entire classroom is unaccounted for at this time."

Holy shit.

 

[BigJonsson]

even if you ban guns you can still get illegal ones from Mexico easily like AK47

So make these sick fucks jump through the hoops, you don't need to own a fucking gun

 

[MightyHealthy]

As many as 20 children were shot. What a horrible tragedy.

 

[Like the hat?]

What the fuck is this persons problem, asking about marijuana legalization? What the fuck, time and a place.

 

[toxicgonzo]

How do you just, like, wake up and say to yourself "Today, I am going to shoot elementary school children!"???

Seriously. The amount of mental hurdles you would have to force yourself to push through to do this.

Unless of course you're insane. But there was more than one shooter?

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Per local news: "An entire classroom is unaccounted for at this time."

I get that it's mass chaos, but how do they let this happen? ):

 

[7Th]

Well we already kind of do that in some states. Not disagreeing with you honestly. I'm for some better control over this.

The process to acquire a license is still a joke; they need to do serious psychological exams and background checks on everyone that wants to get a license.
