This is crazy. How do we keep having these? At least it looks like there aren't any fatalities this time. Hopefully that holds true as the news continues to break.

Fuck, people are fucking sick. I have to wonder what's going through these killer's minds, because I don't understand why anyone would want to shoot up a school. And I don't like the "they were bullied" excuse. I've been bullied before. Doesn't mean I'm going to shoot up a school.

There weren't any fatalities? Maybe the guy shouldn't have moved from sweep distance.

he probably ran out of time.

anyhow, good thing there were no fatalities, but then we have on the other end of the spectrum this ridiculousness:

NEW YORK (MYFOXNY) -
A lime-green Nerf toy gun caused an hours-long lock-down at a Long Island school on Tuesday.

A 911 caller told Nassau County Police she saw a suspicious teen at about 7:38 a.m. Tuesday wearing a black jacket and carrying a black backpack at Elmont Memorial high School in Elmont.

The caller said he was also carrying a lime green gun.

A SWAT team searched the school room by room. Parents were allowed to pick up their children early Tuesday afternoon.

They eventually found the toy lime green and yellow lever action Nerf gun in a student locker. Police did not make any arrests and the lockdown was lifted.

School officials confiscated the toy gun and say it will be returned to the parents.

Inspector Kenneth Lack says the heightened response was due to "an abundance of precaution."

i understand people being cautious, but really? a nerf gun caused all that ruckus?

Yeah, I probably shouldn't be making jokes about these kind of incidents but it is good nobody died.

It's always depressing to hear something like that. Many familys are totally torn apart after such a happening. Why can't this stupid asshole just shoot a bullett through HIS own retarded brain?


it was the best of times
it was the blurst of times

I like to think that these things have been happening all the time but we're just now noticing because the news happened to pick up on one that the government has a vested interest in. Eventually they'll become such a common topic on the news that we'll all learn to accept it as a part of everyday life. That's going to suck.


I'm not a bad enough dude, but I am an edgy little shit. I'll do what I can.

Why do that when you can get your name on the news? The media is the biggest problem in preventing stuff like this.

I'm waiting for the day when a school shooter goes through the paces in the media and in prison and eventually starts writing best-selling books, O.J. style.

Although the movie's content is obviously a much more extreme example, stuff like this happening kind of reminds me of Natural Born Killers and its themes of the media glorifying violence and making pseudo-celebrities out of the perpetrators.

That point was also brought up in the Massachusetts elementary school shooting. Morgan Freeman even released an announcement about it.
