I should correct my own speculation here because I said I suspected the Adam Lanza's mother purchased the guns for him because they were registered to her and didn't seem like the kind of guns women usually buy for themselves.

I have since however read a couple stories that describe Nancy Lanza as an avid gun collector that took her sons target shooting which pretty much trashes my earlier speculation.

 

The media is spreading bullshit. I will wait for the official press conferences.

 

MSDNC is the worst.

 

NEWTOWN, Conn. — Authorities have released the names of the 26 people gunned down in a rampage at a Connecticut elementary school.


All six adults killed at the school were women. Of the 20 children who were shot to death, eight were boys and 12 were girls. All the children were ages 6 or 7.


Investigators are trying to learn more about 20-year-old gunman Adam Lanza, who killed himself after the massacre.

If you would like to send a sympathy card, a postcard or letter of condolence to the school, here is the address: Sandy Hook Elementary School, 12 Dickenson Drive, Sandy Hook, CT 06482.

 

I was literally stunned on another site a little while ago when someone corrected the multiple news organizations that are claiming this is the second worst school killing in US History followed only by Virgina Tech in the number of people killed. And he pointed to the totally misnamed Bath School Disaster in 1927 when a school board member set off a series of bombs in the school that ultimately killed 38 elementary school children and seven adults including the bomber.

Its one of the most unsettling stories I've ever read. I thought it might help if I had some historical perspective but instead it just somehow makes us humans even more scary than I thought we were.

PS The more careful news outlets are being careful enough to quantify their claim by identifying it as "shooting" incident.

 

so far i havent seen 1 story about this that held any level of actual fact other than that people were shot by a sick bastard
they found the rifle in the trunk of the car but yet the coroner says that the rifle was used primarily?
also why autopsy people that were killed by some fucking idiot?
they fucking cut open innocent kids that were obviously murdered doesnt take a grand jury to figure out what happened
let the famileis bury their kids and try to find peace and some level of not wanting to kill themselves

and lioness i will take the adress you posted and sit down to write a few words but what do you say to people that have been through hell
im sorry for your loss is just a cop-out
ive never realy lost my child so i dont know how to state that this sick fuck should have been destroyed long ago

maybe ill hold off till after the new year to compile my thoughts

 

The media is doing something that is both good and bad by not giving the sick fuck who did this his 15 minutes of fame. Out of the woodwork has already come a bunch of sick fuckers impersonating the shooter on different social media sites and you have to know that it rubs some of them the wrong way that the shooter isn't being mentioned much and it is only a matter of time before another one of these fuckwads snaps and wants his 15 minutes.

You can guarantee a couple of things from this latest shooting rampage, one being that the gun advocates will scream at the top of their lungs that they have the right to bare arms and that it will happen again.

There is a slight decline in gun related deaths in the USA since 2008 but that is of small comfort when you look at the figures and see that in 2010 there were 8,775 murders involving guns in the US compared to under 200 in Canada that same year and under 25 in the UK.

 

QFT.

The major issue is that there will never be strict gun control, of the sort we have here, in the US. Whether this is right or wrong depends on where you stand on gun control or whether you have been a victim of gun crime.

It is not always the legal weapons but rather the illegal ones that are used in commission of a crime.

And whilst I enjoy the relative safety of gun control we all wait for the next atrocity.

 

do you have 350 million people in canada?

granted on the per capital you also may be less...

but do you have also 100 million blacks and mexicans....

granted these mass murders seemed to be deranged white boys...

 

We have approx 10% of the USA population but that would still make it less than 2000 if you do the math and yes we have our share of the people that you mentioned, the key difference being that they are Canadian and a welcome addition to the diverse population of decent people that we have here in Canada, not to say that you don't because the vast majority of Americans are also hard working decent folk just wanting to have a good life.

 

TURN OFF THE NEWS.......

Morgan Freeman's brilliant take on what happened yesterday :

"You want to know why. This may sound cynical, but here's why.

It's because of the way the media reports it. Flip on the news and watch how we treat the Batman theater shooter and the Oregon mall shooter like celebrities. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are household names, but do you know the name of a single *victim* of Columbine? Disturbedpeople who would otherwise just off themselves in their basements see the news and want to top it by doing something worse, and going out in a memorable way. Why a grade school? Why children? Because he'll be remembered as a horrible monster, instead of a sad nobody.

CNN's article says that if the body count "holds up", this will rank as the second deadliest shooting behind Virginia Tech, as if statistics somehow make one shooting worse than another. Then they post a video interview of third-graders for all the details of what they saw and heard while the shootings were happening. Fox News has plastered the killer's face on all their reports for hours. Any articles or news stories yet that focus on the victims and ignore the killer's identity? None that I've seen yet. Because they don't sell. So congratulations, sensationalist media, you've just lit the fire for someone to top this and knock off a day care center or a maternity ward next.

You can help by forgetting you ever read this man's name, and remembering the name of at least one victim. You can help by donating to mental health research instead of pointing to gun control as the problem. You can help by turning off the news."

 

One of the things that this shooting will contribute to is the further eroding of your civil liberties from agencies such as the FBI and NSA who already know the last time you took a shit. They will now enter deeper into the social media forums to profile people of interest from tips from the public about the sick fuck next door that likes to kick puppies or whatever. Authorities believe that this invasion of your privacy is for the good of the many in the long run.

BTW ... these "tips" are quite often just sent with malice from someone that was shunned or the like and don't hold water in most cases but the amount of people that are being looked into just grew by about 1000%

 

That was the same news that told lies about Romney and build up Obama and omitted stories about Benghazi....that is your media the left wing media....they are working on gun control, dont you see it...

Obama already has that covered...

I just spoke of this in my post a few minutes ago and yes I admire Mr. Freeman to the nth degree but the problem is that it pisses some of these sick fucks off when they are ignored and their solution is to go out an do something that can't be ignored ... and mark my words, it will happen again soon by some deranged young adult with an axe to grind.

 

British guy here. So very sad for those who have lost loved ones, and those who will bear the scars of this awful day forever.
I fear that rejection, desperation and detachment are growing human emotions in the US and as other posters suggest will, in a media driven world, lead to a greater frequency of such tragedies.
If the media defines your views then shame on them, but if the media reflects your views then shame on you.
In Britain many many folk will just add this tragedy to their negative view of America and its people. A great country paralysed by failed politicians, corruption and stupid blinkered people.
I somewhat share this view, how have you guys gone so wrong?

 

Considering last summer half the big cities in England were subject to rioting, looting and people burning buildings down. I don't think we are in any position to judge the American people

 

While it may seem like the U.S. is the exclusive domain of the nutcase on a killing spree, the evidence would indicate that mass killings are not nearly as uncommon in other countries as people would love to believe. The fact that the U.S. is a single country, while in many other parts of the world these same atrocities occur in the relative isolation of a single rather small country, sometimes about the size or not much bigger or more populous that a single state or maybe two or three states in the U.S. These events can, as a result be confined to that rather small country rather than attributed to the culture of an entire region. California for example has a larger population than Canada. Although, it could be argued that California is more violent than Canada.

This is a list...and as it turns out not even a totally comprehensive list of atrocities around the world. The simple fact is...it just aint rare...anywhere...not just here.

DD I can't understand how you connect the event in Newtown with the 2011 riots in England.
The absolutely awful school massacre involves one perpetrator, almost certainly a nutter, who tragically had easy access to a range of guns which aren't even available to British soldiers...
The riots in England involved over 3000 people and started because the police killed a young black guy and then mishandled the resultant crowd that formed.
How is this comparable?
My point is that, as reported tonight this is the fourth major massacre in the US in four years. Sadly unless something changes I believe the frequency will increase even more rapidly.
In my view, easy access to ghastly sophisticated human killing weapons is a big problem, and of course I'm not surprised to be told George W Bush legalised them again after Clinton's ban.
Those little children were blown to bits, their poor parents aren't even able to see the bodies.
You are one really really sick nation.
