Not to make lite of this tragedy, but...
If Obama can be blamed for Ebola, then republicans in congress can certainly be held accountable for this shooting.
When we have no gun control, this happens.
And when repubs repeal healthcare, how can anyone get the mental health they might need?
And when the repubs cut education funding, how can a school afford security?
Yep! Once again its those damn repubs in congress killing more innocent Americas.
If Obama is Ebola, repubs are certainly mass murder.
The sad thing is, we all know Obama is not Ebola.
But repubs and their unholy alliance with their NRA does in fact empower mass murder.
Vote THAT reality on November 4th.

There are 2 things in the world that will instantly drop someone's IQ. First is watching Honey Boo Boo, and the second is reading one of your posts.

Uh, we have plenty of gun control.
It doesnt work because guns are not the problem. Humans are the problem, and you cant fix that easily.
Swedes have plenty of guns and they dont shoot each other in the streets. Their society isnt as messed up.
England has strict gun control and LOADS of shootings. They are so common they dont get reported or at least front page news. (Kinda like black shootings in America.)

What I find mind-boggling is how people are still being "surprised" by tragedies like this.

A Seattle Congressman was on with Wolf Blitzer yesterday afternoon saying how he was "surprised" that this happened in an "middle to upper class" area, and how he only expected this behavior in "Chicago" and other "urban areas" like that.

While those comments came off as somewhat racist to me personally, what planet has he been living on for the past decade? Correct me if I am wrong, but haven't the last handful of school shooting been perpetrated white, suburban teens who belong to well-off families?

I think he needs a reality check -- he doesn't live in a paradise, he can't escape the violent reality so prevalent in the world no matter if he lives in a secure, close-off gated community hoping to stay separated from the rest of society.

Wake up, dude.

So he got his first dose of rejection and/or disappointment in life, and snapped.

Because if it's in one of those places who gives a shit. It's just another day of the gang banger natives shooting each other up, and if it happened near a school that's just a coincidence.

It must really suck to be a gun control person and walk around constantly terrified of your fellow citizens and thinking with just one more law you'll be safe.

Yup. Some kid got shot walking home from school by two bangers on a bike when I was in high school and it was just another story in the papers for my city.

Yea, that's the takeaway from this tragedy. How easy or difficult it is to buy ammo. Forget the lives needlessly cut short. You need your fucking bullets, dammit!


WTF is wrong with you?

Nothing. I just already assumed that it went without saying that the loss of life was a tragic thing and need not be stated...
