Wow, that's just so wrong. Wishing the best to the love ones and survivors. The Japanese media, when some tragedy is created by someone, will NOT post a picture of the criminal, but will put photos of the victims up. They say that putting up the criminals picture can (and does) cause marginally normal people to relate to the perpetrator and act out similar scenarios. It only takes a single person out of a million or 2 to make a big sh#t storm.
It is the opposite of what our media does. Since I can't control our media but just myself, when they start going on about the bitch who drove her car into a crowd etc etc, I turn it off or change the channel. The reason they drone on like that is purely for ratings, and if enough people changed their behavior it would change the medias response to these kinds of things.

Good God! Why does this keep happening. We shouldn't give it so much attention.
My heart goes out to the families . . .

Sad. Unfortunately, the body count will need to be much higher to waken the American people up to the stranglehold the NRA has put them in.

Holy sh#t, this is tragic. 18 kids?
What kind of f*#king monster would even think of that?
What the eff are we coming to? The frequency of these events seems to be rising exponentially.

GUNS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM.
Part true, part PURE bullsh#t.
I'd rather be "injured" with a knife personally.

That only took a couple of days. Maybe if the children had been armed the toll wouldn't have been as high. When? When are we going to learn - guns ARE in fact the problem. NRA brainwashing, the insane commercial proliferation of small arms, and near total lack of control of weapons is making these incidents a weekly societal occurrence.

I'm always shocked at the level of violence in PG movies... and the lack hot nude female bodies.
locker, part of the problem could be 311 million people today compared to 179 million in 1960. Oh, and the proliferation of guns, violence, and ignorance.
