Folks if i may say something if you have children in your household tell them you love them and if they are grown and out of the house call them and tell them you love them.

When bad things like this happens it makes a person realize what is most important in life family.
 
I am sickened by this. I cannot imagine the grief the parents and grandparents are going through, let alone the kids who were there. My prayers for the families.
 
A story going around is that the shooter lived in NJ. This AM he went to his fathers home and shot him dead. He then drove to the school in CT where his mother was a teacher. He shot and killed her also.

I havent a clue as to if this is true or not.
 
One of my first thoughts was these children could have been my grandchildren - same age group.

I'm sickened and cannot describe the smoldering rage I have against all the "know-it-all _ you're-not-gonna-tell-me-how-to-live _ I don't need your views on morality or your church talk _ we're too evolved and enlightened for that" crowd.

Just don't cross my path with that kind of sentiment today . . . wrong day, wrong man.

The scoffers can say what they will about the 'bad old days' and how the 1950's weren't all they were cracked up to be - we didn't have THIS.

THIS is what EVIL looks like folks - it's real and it walks among us and it is not human.

It's been said before a million times and I say it here again........HOW?......How is it possible for ANYone to want to harm children? Yes....it is terrible that some adults were killed as well.......but CHILDREN????

What could compel even the most evil mind to do such a thing?

Terrible. Just a terrible horrible thing. I don't get it and I never will.
Sorry to rant, I'm angry.

I live in the same county, its on the opposite corner.

What a shame, who could even imagine such a thing?

Yet the news seems to almost be bragging that this is the second worst school shooting, it seems if it was the worst they would be happier.

News stories are all over the map who knows the truth.

As far as gun bans, in CT we already have an assault weapons ban, just like the expired federal one, but without magazine limits.

Lets mourn the loss then let the facts come out.


Anyone leveraging children's deaths to advance their ideology, ratings, or whatever is a dirt-bag.

- And yet, I did this very thing in another post. I guess I will blame Newton's 3rd law for that one though.

Amen fred. Took the thoughts right outta my heart. That idiot is deadly proof that evil and the devil are present in our world
 
My wife and I extend our heart felt sympathy to all of those involved in this tragic shooting, but not just those who have lost loved ones, but to all of the LEOs, EMTs, and especially to those in the CT. Medical Examiners System who must sort through the multiple victims. Remember that many of these pathologists have young children and grand children.

Let us keep all of those involved in this tragedy in our prayers!

Psychotic people will kill innocent people quickly or slowly. Never forget Adolph Hitler and Pol POT!

Over the years, I have seen many people take their own lives and those of others at holiday seasons, especially Christmas. Their psychotic delusions are fueled by their depression.I don't think that we can be more vigilant at this time of year than any other time.

I don't own anything that could be construed to be an "assault weapon, rifle or pistol" but outlawing them will never control psychotic people who are determined to kill innocent people!

God in his mercy, hear our prayers!

Fellows, this one hurts. It really hurts this time.

I'm not one to get all weepy eyed most of the time, when I read or hear about major tragedies. But this time...Enough is Enough.

I don't have an answer as to why, neither will anyone else. The shooter is dead too. But WHY?.....My God, what has happened that there are those with a mental deficiency, believe to make a statement they have to go and do something like this.

His 15 minutes of so called fame, He will never even know about it.

I believe one of the terrible outcomes of this tragedy is others, with a mental deficiency are going to see and read about this, will try to emulate today, only possibly make it even worse.

I can only hope the good Lord above can hear my prayer today, for those who have lost their lives, and to the families of those who have perished.




If you will please bear with me...

This is from a Jewish Yizkor Memorial Service A prayer in Memory of a child.


I remember in this solemn hour, beloved child, the many joys you afforded me during your lifetime. I recall the days when I delighted in your physical and mental growth, and planned for your future. Though death has taken you from me, you are not forgotten. Your spirit is enshrined in my heart.

O heavenly Father, I thank Thee for the precious gift which Thou didst entrust to my keeping, and which Thine infinite wisdom Thou hast called back unto Thyself. Thought few were the years wherein I rejoiced with my child, many were the blessings that he (she) brought into my household. Teach me to live more nobly and to extend my love and devotion to other children in thankfulness for the privilege of having had and loved this child. Though but for a few brief years. Thus may his (her) should be bound up in the bond of life and his (her) memory remain an inspiration to me.

Amen.

I can't imagine anything more intensely personal than the grief of a parent who has lost a child. Yet, the media pounce on them like a pack of jackals on a fresh carcass. Leave them alone, and stop showing us images of their grief.

The news conference featured some politician touting all the wonderful things the governor is doing, how he took a call from the WH.....
I only care about the children and their families. I have zero interest in what any of these people are doing or saying.

My prayers to all who have been impacted by this evil act.
 
I understand that there has Never a similar shooting in Israel, mainly because the children's parents are the armed guards at school.

Remember Every Israeli citizen has to go thru military training. Add in that

it is legal for an Israeli citizen to own and openly carry a fully automatic firearm.

So the transition from citizen soldier to armed guard is a simple one.

I seriously doubt if any Parent is going to let an active child shooter past them.

Something we should do in the US?
 
Quick, better shower the murderer with media attention and sympathy.

That'll make the next one think twice.

Everybody knows that malignant narcissists just HATE attention and sympathy...
 
My wife and I are sickened by this horrible abuse of God's greatest gift-LIFE by this single individual following Satan's lead.

I cannot begin to fathom the excruciating agony the victim's families will be experiencing in the coming days. The loss of a blood relative is always hard, but to have their lives expunged by a deranged demon in such a violent manner..Words do no justice. May God's grace be with these families as the try to move forward from this tragic day.
