Conn. School Shooting

[Elsie's Daddy]

Hang on to your hat folks. The Idiots will be coming out of the wood work to ban anything that shoots...AGAIN.

I want to hit something, but I don't want to hit others who are trying to deal with this, just like I am.

This thread is not the place to hit anyone. Let's look at it for what it is. An outpouring of grief, rage, denial, and a whole bunch of other unpleasant emotions.

Some idiocy has surfaced here, but as a resident idiot I am choosing to see it as needed catharsis.

Let's hold onto our loved ones and not let this make us less than we are.

Got in late last night so heard the news then. Absolutely horrific. I cane not say enough about the contemt I feel and the disgust I have for someone that would do this. My prayers go out to all those that are involved and for a quick and healthy recovery.

I just heard something on tv that I think is a good idea. Why not ask the media to not post the picture and name of attackers that do this type of stuff. Maybe that's one way to keep copy cats from happening. How many of these people do this to get tv coverage before they die, in some last ditch effort to get their name in the national news.

Because it sells and the media is a cash and carry business. If it makes cash, they carry it, period.

I finally managed to put together a blog post where I tried to address a few things from yesterday.

A very reasonable post and discussion here: http://www.thisistrue.com/blog-thinking_about_newtown.html

Did anyone else see the ct medical examiners press conference? Completely unprofessional and insensitive. He kept smirking after comments and acting like this situation was not a big deal.

I dont know, you got to think this guy deals with nothing but death and many times not in natual ways for over 30 years. This is probably the worst case he has done though. You can tell that he is distraught and stressed and everybody handles that differently.
