School shooting in Newtown CT-Breaking on Fox News | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 27667491 12/14/2012 12:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've never understood the idea of locking down a school when there is shooter in there. Kind of like putting fish in a barrel. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13076957 Wouldn't it make more sense that the kids spread out and leave the dangerous area instead of huddling in a room? Seems to me that there is usually one gun man. Odds are much less to be hurt than if a gun man walks into a room with 28 kids. Is it so they can catch the shooter? Odds are that more kids would be unhurt. If so, I'd rather the shooter get away and have fewer hurt kids. yeah i have never understood that too. if my kid was in there i would be demented with worry, knowing my kid couldnt get out? how do they even enforce it anyway? have a cop on every exit, shoving kids back inside? maybe in misunderstand 'lockdown' |

Go figure. BUT CRIMINALS WILL BE THE ONLY ONE WITH GUNS... But they just use them to conduct business. They don't use them to target school children. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 6987843 12/14/2012 12:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This isn't a time to fight about something so silly, instead you should be asking yourself what you can do to make a difference for those who are going through this horrible event. Quoting: whiteangel WE can't do a damn thing for that individual. But we can come to our senses and make it less likely that this kind of crap ever happens to another child or anyone for that matter. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 13275103 12/14/2012 12:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My friend was killed by a drunk driving 18 year old. Maybe we should outlaw alcohol for people under 21? That will solve the problem! oh wait... My friend died of a heroin overdose, maybe we should make drugs illegal. That'll solve this problem! oh wait... My friend was killed in a bombing, maybe we should outlaw bombs, that'll fix it! oh wait.. My friend was stabbed to death, maybe we should make knives, screwdrivers, ice picks etc illegal. That'll teach em! My friend had a 20 pound rock dropped on his head... My friend was run down by a car... My friend, etc... (all made up stories) There are many illegal things that kill people, so why do they think making guns illegal would be any better? There are also many everyday items that could kill people that there's no way they could outlaw them. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 27057788 12/14/2012 12:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | the super majority of gun crimes and murders involving a gun are done with illegally owned firearms not legally owned ones they just politicize those. You rarely hear about the hundreds of people shot across the country each day by criminals who bought guns on the street or stole them shooting each others or innocents but when something like this happens that make it out like legal guns are the issue. Then they use words like assault rifle and make everyone think the shooter has a machine gun spraying bullets all over the planet when we know thats not the case. |

| CowgirlK User ID: 29001593 12/14/2012 12:23 PM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In the office? Yep it most likely was a custody battle. I can see it now...Dad goes into school to get his kid, Office tells him that there is a restraining order against him and he cant have the child. Unemployed, down on his luck dad goes crazy and shoots up the place. Quoting: CowgirlK The kids will be damaged for life from this event. This makes me sick and sad! Yeah, likely scenario. And if he did not have a gun - it would not have happened. If he didn't have a gun he may well have used a knife or something else. I'm reminded of the spate of mass knife attacks in China, or the guy who attacked a primary school in the UK with a sword. You are correct! If he didn't have a gun, he could have used a propane tank and a match, cross bow, broken beer bottle, etc. Good lord, get off the gun thing. If people want to kill, there are plenty of ways to do it. Guns don't kill people....People kill people! This is not about guns, Its about a dad who went crazy. What happened in his life that could send him into such a rage? |

If I was a parent I would so the fuck out of the school district for making my child endure this. I'm assuming you meant to say sue. So I will say...Why would you file suit? Does that make up for what your children experienced. Does money make up for death? Only liberals believe filing suit makes up for a tragedy. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 27057788 12/14/2012 12:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | more people are killed by doctor errors than guns in the US. More people are killed by car accident, by fast food, smoking, kids are poisoned by household chemical that people dont need kids drown in pools that you dont need kids are killed riding bikes sports choking .......... |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 13076957 12/14/2012 12:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yeah, The lockdown is just that. Kids go into classrooms or bathrooms and huddle. I've told my children that if anything like that happened to just get out anyway possible and run. Don't worry about anything else, windows, break them. It's a sad day that I've had to have that conversation with them. Years ago, my child was attending a public preschool in an elementary building. It went on lock down because someone had threatened the principal. That's why I started telling them that. My hearts go out to everyone envolved in this. Children, families, teachers and staff. You are in my prayers. |

Yes because only law abiding citizens commit mass shootings. If we take away guns from law abiding citizens none of this will ever happen again. How well is that working out in Mexico? |

That it was so out of character, or whatever. Well, children are dead because he had no impulse control but did have a gun. Fuck that. |
