Reminds me of a case where in Japan a mentally ill person went into a school, and threw 6 students (like grade 8 I believe) out a second story window killing two.

As for the gun argument, doesn't matter in the USA. A mentally ill person can get a gun legally such as what happened in Virginia Tech shooting, then you have the massive amount of fire arms floating around unaccounted for so even if all guns where banned the crooks wouldn't be affected for a number of years. This guy just happened to be stupid as well as mentally ill luckily for all involved.

This is one sick person. I feel for the families impacted by this horrible event. Glad that they apprehended him. Sickos like this sometimes make me question my personal stance against the death penalty.:|

Why should a country's resources be wasted on this man for the rest of his life? A swift execution is demanded.

Because civilized nations don't have death penalties.

If it was a spork, this would not have happened.

OK fine. At least FBI background checks and a waiting list/cooling off period.

You might want to tell your Mother how you can read a story about babies being sliced to death and you laugh at it and find a way to make a heartless and idiotic joke about gun control.

Who is joking? You are the one who drew a parallel to the idiot gun-grabbers, not me. You just failed the Rorschach test ;)

I would gouge that fvcker's eyes out and then firmly grasp his testicles and twist/pull as hard as I could. Then again, that might be even more traumatic for the kids.

I'm Belgian and I can respond to that. The staff in the nursery were all women. One of them died trying to stop this wacko, multiple other were also wounded when they attacked the slasher in defending the children. A 6 month old and a nine month old baby were killed.

The slasher also had to be taken to the hospital. Apparantly the police was not very "nice" when they arrested the guy. He's refusing to say anything during his interrogation and apparantly he's just laughing all the time with the investigators. He was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs and he has no criminal record.

Wow what a pos.
Two babies and woman are killed, several others injured, and your cracking jokes like this some kind of political satire. And then you wonder why people don't want morons like you owning guns.

What the hell is wrong with you? As a CCW holder myself, it amazes me every time I see a moron turning a story of a stabbing into parody calling for the banning of knives. I'm sure you thought it clever, but you only make yourself, and me by extension, look like heartless fucktards. Please do the right thing for gun rights advocacy the next time a story like this presents itself by just shutting the hell up.

Well, you do (or rather did) have a military base with a prison facility outside your laws for the purpose of torturing and indefinitely holding prisoners without trial.

-edit- Oh, also sending people to other countries to be tortured and be sent the info gained from said torture, overthrowing democracies and putting brutal dictators in their place, support of rebel groups against governments they don't like.

It isn't. Certain states are, but in general our country has a long way to go.

Links?


And instead of having faux internet nerd-rage, why arent you mad at the people that stood around and did nothing as someone stabbed babbies? If you were there with your CCW, what would you have done? Hell, even if you left your piece at home that day, what would you have done?

This is just like that Chinese kid getting thier head sawed off two days ago at VT. This is just like the the Greyhound decapitation last year in Canada. If someone had a gun, or at least enough balls to pick up a bat, people would not have suffered such horrible acts.

dude stop it, you have no f*cking clue about the situation. One of the people killed in this tragedy was a 54 year old woman, she was stabbed while defending the children. Several other women were also stabbed when they tried to shield the children against the attacker, one is still in intensive care. The only people who were in the nursery when this happened were the employees, all women who did everything they could to protect the babies.

Thank you for proving the point. I can not imagine being an old lady without some sort of equalizer against men. There are some sick creeps out there.

Does that mean live in a bubble with a M60 locked and loaded? No. But I would at least have mase/pepperspray or a small handgun that can be accessed in emergencies.

Sorry, we don't believe that these kind of problems can be solved by introducing a gun culture. If guns are the answer why does the USA has one of the worst murder rates in the western world with the most gun related deaths?

You ever seen our inner-cities? Most of our gun violence in LA comes from poor South American immigrant gangs fighting poor black gangs.

Mexico has an all-out ban on guns. You should ask them how well that is working out for them. ;)

Hey, noone should be forced to protect themselves with guns or any sort of weapon. But when you don't you see what can happen. The odds are very low, but odds are not comforting when your head is getting sawn off in a cafeteria.

You have to understand a bit about what it's like to be a conformist authoritarian.

The United States plays a game of ego. You get to be somebody of value if you play by the rules dictated by the authoritarian culture, and are lucky, that is to say you have enough intelligence, lack too much testosterone to land you in jail, are able to muster sufficient self control, know the right people, go to the right schools, kiss the right asses, etc. and, as I said, are lucky. When you have done all these things and earn money you get to be among those who are in, those whose shit smells like roses.

Then you get to flatter and pat yourself on the back and bask in the glory of authority, which you have now become a part of. You become one of the good guys and you get to carry a gun. You get to be a part of the enforcement system. Your fat preened ego gets to feel special. I can save people from mad men because I am armed. I am very good.

When people waste their lives seeking the stupid prestige their culture offers, these folk demand a price, and the price is that you worship and obey them and their guns.
