When I saw the news about that my jaw literally dropped. That's probably one of the worst things I've ever heard - taking hostages in an Amish schoolhouse, tying up preteen girls and then shooting them in the head execution style? There is no way this man was sane.

What the f*ck is wrong with people?

I am a very happy person as a rule but today as I was sitting in the car loop at school to pick up my grandson from school, a fallen deputy was being laid to rest. He and his k-9 were shot and killed doing a routine traffic stop last week. And as the radio palyed a Vince Gill very sad song I started to cry. I cried for the dead officer and his K-9. I cried for the 5 little girls who were killed by a crazy man. I cried for every soldier who has been taken from us. Although I am proud of all these people I am very saddened that they had to be taken from us. I have never felt so sorrowful in all my life.

Has this ever happened to you?

School Safety (worse now - this is an old study!)

* Between 1994 and 1999, there were 220 school associated violent events resulting in 253 deaths - - 74.5% of these involved firearms. Handguns caused almost 60% of these deaths. (Journal of American Medical Association, December 2001)
* In 1998-99 academic year, 3,523 students were expelled for bringing a firearm to school. This is a decrease from the 5,724 students expelled in 1996-97 for bringing a firearm to school. (U.S. Department of Education, October 2000)
* Nearly 8% of adolescents in urban junior and senior high schools miss at least one day of school each month because they are afraid to attend. (National Mental Health & Education Center for Children & Families, National Association of School Psychologists 1998)
* The National School Boards Association estimates that more than 135,000 guns are brought into U.S. schools each day. (NSBA, 1993)

How many senseless crimes will it take for the people of this country to impose some meaningfull restrictions on gun ownership? How many kids have to be killed? Every "Right" protected by the Constitution has certain restrictions, even the right of Free Speech. Why is it so taboo to restrict gun ownership, particularly assault rifles, grenade launchers, automatic weapons, etc.?
Isn't it time the "silent majority" stands up and fights for gun control?

Why does a person who commits a murder then go an kill themselves? It seems like they had no problem killing the person, so why not stick around for the consequence?

During the past 2 weeks alone, 4 similar incidents ocurred in different schools. Is the media partially to blame for spotlighting these events? Is it possible that by making these into such high-profile incidents, potential criminals are being exposed to new outlets for their behaviours?

I realize the media is simply doing its job, by informing, yet I can't help but think how much is too much? To make matters worse, I'm finding increasingly that many of the reporting have become quite "subjective" as opposed to being "objective"; the way that it ought to be.

Please share your views, and bear in mind that there is no right or wrong answer to this. Thank you.
