18 dead in Connecticut Elementary School Shooting

[Lejuan]

Here we go again about being desensitized by playing games....

...some people do this kind of thing because they're genuinely evil.

Most, though, are mentally ill and full to the brim with delusions of one kind or another. It's usually that simple and that tragic.

I am a bit conflicted about how I feel regarding the killer taking his own life. Part of me says it's the cowardly thing to do. The other part is glad the parents and families of those killed don't have to go through a trial with a defense attorney trying to get the killer off by being mentally incompetent. When you kill 26 people you deserve harsher punishment than being sent to a mental facility for treatment, imo.

I already added my two cents worth into this idiot's bucket. FB should ban this MF ASAFP...

 

[Mr. EcKo]

The FBI will find whoever made that

Exactly!
I truly wish he didn't kill him self. He did in fact take the easy way out. He doesn't have to live with killing 26 innocent people anymore. He should be locked up and have to live with him self seeing the outcome to all the ****ed up **** he did. I don't care whether he was mentally ill or not. He had enough logic to plan this out and execute it. I hate when people try to get people off the hook because of mental illnesses. Don't get me wrong I truly believe some things people don't have control over or have enough sense in whats right or wrong when they are truly mentally ill, but to kill 26 people 20 being children no way in hell will anything ever be able to convince me that being mentally ill is what caused him to do this. Why can't we all live happy lives and get along with each other? Life would be much more simple that way and I would never have to hear such tragedies

It would probably be better if nobody paid attention to this page. The ONLY reason he made it was to get a rise out of people. People should just simply report the page and move on. I'm sure he is just sitting back laughing at all the rage coming to his page. I mean come on how could anyone truly believe he did a good thing by "population control" wtf is wrong with society these days.

I also read where the killers twitter account got over 3000 followers today I didn't really look into it to see if this were true or not. Taking his own life was cowardly. I wish the Swat team had gunned him down.

Instead of responding to the troll - which is what he/she wants - report it to FB.

Go to the settings on that page and report it. It's not hard to surmise that someone who thinks that trash is a hero is looking to duplicate this horrific tragedy, so report it as "this shouldn't be on Facebook" under "potential threat of violence."

I must say, at the end of the day I love my kids. They know it. They will know it every day they live on this earth. Whether they are in trouble or not they will still know I love them. I have peace with that. I didn't have that all the time growing up. They will.

He should have started and ended with himself.

Stupid people

If this could only truly happen. It sucks that instead of just killing them selves they have to make a name and be "famous"

I live in CT, this happened very close to where I live. I think in this state we always had a "can't happen here" attitude. Needless to say that has been ripped away from us. This has been devastating to everyone and I feel like my very soul has been torn to pieces. I cant even imagine how the families of the victims could possibly cope with this.

I have a 4 year old daughter, who by the way was getting off her bus from PreK4 only minutes after I heard about this, I dont know if I have ever been happier to see someone in my entire life. But at the same time, I couldnt help but cry at the thought that all these poor children wanted was to see Mommy and Daddy again, to open presents on Christmas morning, to play with their friends.

A Monster has destroyed so many lives and families today, Parents are experiencing a loss from which they will never recover. Children (and adults) have been scarred for life, and the fear of entering that building again will never leave them, they will never feel safe again.

And as a parent, it will never leave my mind each day as I load my daughter on the bus, that this can happen here. I can't help but feel a knee-jerk reaction of wanting to lock her in the house and keep her safe from harm, even though I know that is not possible.

I have so much sadness and anger right now, I just dont know how to express it.

Is it too much to want to live in a world where children are safe from harm at school?

As for the killer, I wish he had lived. I wish he would live a long life where everyday he was physically and mentally tortured. That he was handed back and forth by inmates to use as they wished.

There is no punishment that can make up for what he has done, but I would have at least liked some small satisfaction that every day was a torment for him.

I wish I believed in Hell.

I disagree but I won't elaborate out of respect at this point

There is one thing that could help. And out of respect of the modding authority of the board i wont get into the subject so the thread can stay open.

But i will elaborate on the last point. If somebody is hell bent on inflicting damage to somebody they will do it. But the extent of the damage is entirely reliant on what is at said persons disposal. Which is why the results are so devastating in this case.

I was watching Fox News and they did report that the brother Ryan had mentioned that the guy did have mental issues/autism. But its fox news so i wont read too much in to it. But they did bring up something i agree with. That every school should have an armed police officer (or equivalent) and that the pupils should be treated as gold that must be protected.

What's so shocking to me is the age of the victims, so young, it boggles the mind how someone can hurt those so young

These mass shooters almost always seem to kill themselves, one wishes they'd do it beforehand and spare the innocent

The real sadness of this incident is knowing it'll happen again and again

If anything that I truly wish existed is Hell right now. This guy deserves to be punished for all of eternity. Also I'm glad your kid is safe!

Thanks Duck, that means alot to me.

Just such a sad day for so many.

Your welcome I may not have kids, but I do have a little cousin who lived with me for a long time who is 6 and I can't imagine how I would feel if anything happened to him.

My little girl is everything to me, I honestly don't think I could go on if something like that happened to her.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

I couldn't imagine anything happening to my niece and newphews, the parents must be going through hell right now, they'll never get over this, my Mum lost my brother before i was born and has never recovered, she persevers better than my Dad did but it'll never leave her

The results of this shooting will expand more than anyone realises, couples will likely split up which means even more heartache for the siblings of those who lost their lives.
