LimpyLoo Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I posit that our world/society is cold and rigid and dehumanizing and as a result frustration-aggression is rampant. Isolation, lack of sense of community and all such hackneyed excuses are oh so true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vilwx Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Whoever did this will have hours of documentary coverage, interviews with friends and family, and an endless array of scapegoat blame by various political entities on who what their "beliefs" and "motivations" were. It's going to suck and yet it'll be hard to look away. The stuff killers such as him dream of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneToThirtySix Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I expect the Salvation Army/Goodwill in Newtown will be getting an increase in donations of clothing and toys. That community is not going to be normal for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 This is fucking depressing, my deepest sympathies go out to the victim's families and loved ones and I hope everyone involved gets the ongoing care they need. I just hope this finally brings a discussion on realistic ways to prevent this sort of tragedy from happening. Whenever anything like this happens, it seems everyone uses it to create an infamous celebrity they so desperately want to hate or to merely use it to push political agendas which have nothing to do what actually happened; it's as if placing the blame on someone and having a guilty party to despise makes it all better. As we can all see, those tactics of responding to these horrific events have done us no favours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blir Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I hope he is completely forgotten. Now you know full well that ain't ever going to happen. I know, but seriously, if this was say 1982 or 1972 or earlier, it'd be a well-known tragic event but beyond a brief background and name, the perpetrator would not be acknowledged in any other way. Whoever did this will have hours of documentary coverage, interviews with friends and family, and an endless array of scapegoat blame by various political entities on who what their "beliefs" and "motivations" were. It's going to suck and yet it'll be hard to look away. Totally man. It's horrible but that's how things are now. A few years from now there'll probably be a movie made about it. People love tragedy too much, it sells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR4 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Yeah, on one hand I realize how seemingly cold it is to value one type of life (child) over another, but then again children are almost completely defenseless....they didn't have a prayer. This was a disgusting act, plain and simple. I suppose I could try to psychologically analyze all this in a larger context, but honestly I just feel depressed about this. Its just horrible. One thing that drove me nuts was during the TV special alert or whatever they kept filming one young lady bawling on the phone after I suppose she recvd the horrible news. I understand you need to report, but leave her the fuck alone for chrissakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jules Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 am i the only one that thinks you can't really prevent this type of shit? some sick fuck with no prior record kills his own mother and then kills children is impossible to detect. everything is monday morning quarterbacking. this is a sick world with sick fucktards everywhere. i am really having trouble even processing this one. these usually go over my head and i don't pay much attention to them. i am not watching the news over and over but i just cant process this. pure evil.

Guest Mirezzi Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Don't be (stupid head in the sand ambivalent) assholes. http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2012/12/american-exceptionalism-the-shootings-will-go-on/266293/ Guns don't attack children; psychopaths and sadists do. But guns uniquely allow a psychopath to wreak death and devastation on such a large scale so quickly and easily. America is the only country in which this happens again -- and again and again.

I'm of the opposite opinion. (Please note, I have never been in a situation to prevent this type of thing, and I'm blindly assuming you haven't either.) However, having been party to an investigation into a violent crime once, typically there are signs all over the place and all of the checks and balances fail. These sorts of things happen suddenly, but not in a vacuum. You're right, it's very hard to look back and say precisely what should have been done to prevent it. But I think the willful ignorance and demonization of mental illness in this country is at fault. People can see the signs but get nervous and have no real avenues to pursue. Guns are definitely not the problem though. We should be giving five year olds guns. That situation would have been prevented if all the five year olds in the class were armed. Fucking fuck.

DerWaschbar Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Well, that guy in China proved you don't need a gun to attack school children.
