Oxygen. Did you know that every shooter breathed oxygen? Did you know that terrorists breathe oxygen? Even Hitler breathed oxygen.
This madness has to stop.
Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Sonofa...haven't we had enough wackos who take their version of crazy out on kids? Haven't read the article-if he/she was a student, did they show any signs parents or teachers could have recognized? If they were someone outside the school and just went in looking for victims, I'm glad the injury count sounds very low and the death count is insignificant (if only the shooter died). That sounds cold, but having been a teacher, the idea of somebody attempting to kill children is one of the most foul crimes out there and I have a zero tolerance feel for it.
Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

it seems based on the news reports I've read, this wasnt some kid that snapped and wanted to kill a bunch of students, seems the kid was really only trying to get after a teacher.

Captain Killhammer McFighterson stared down at the surface of Earth from his high vantage point on the bridge of Starship Facemelter. Something ominous was looming on the surface. He could see a great shadow looming just underneath the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, slowly spreading northward. "That can't be good..." he muttered to himself while rubbing the super manly stubble on his chin with one hand. "But... on the other hand..." he looked at his shiny new bionic murder-arm. "This could be the perfect chance for that promotion." A perfect roundhouse kick slammed the ship's throttle into full gear. Soon orange jets of superheated plasma were visible from the space-windshield as Facemelter reentered the atmosphere at breakneck speed.
I'll just leave this here.

The irony is the shooter, Karl Halverson Pierson, self identified as a Progressive Democrat (his FB page often mocked The Right) and was a supporter of Gun Control.
Life isn't fair. But wouldn't it be worse if Life were fair, and all of the really terrible things that happen to us were because we deserved them?

Thank goodness he realised the foolishness of his ways and was able to exercise his 2nd amendment rights.
Kilkrazy wrote: My comment is a witty counterpoint to the ad hominem argument that the shooter is a gun control democrat.
Claiming that pointing out the shooter was a gun control Democrat is an ad hominem would be like claiming that pointing out that you're a moderator is an ad hominem. Stating something that is true but ironic is not necessarily a personal attack.
Yours is merely offensive spam.
It's wonderful how diverse offense is, isn't it? You found my opinion of your posting habits offensive. I found your suggestion that murder is the exercise of Second Amendment rights offensive. And here we are.

Hell, after seeing how easy it was to get a CCW in my state I think I'm more gun control than I was before.
Don't get me wrong, I think with proper licensing and certification you should be able to buy just about anything legally, including full auto, bazookas, whatever. I'd absolutely be for requiring some base level of proficiency at a minimum.
You immediately start getting into sticky areas of whether requiring such is a compelling government interest, though.

The teenage gunman who entered Arapahoe High School Friday afternoon and shot two fellow students with a shotgun was outspoken about politics, a gifted debater and may have been bullied for his beliefs, according to students who knew him.
…
“He had very strong beliefs about gun laws and stuff,” said junior Abbey Skoda, who was in a class with the alleged shooter her freshman year.
Thomas Conrad, who had an economics class with [the shooter] Pierson, described him as a very opinionated Socialist*…
…”He was exuberant I guess,” Conrad said. “A lot of people picked on him, but it didn’t seem to bother him.”
In one Facebook post, Pierson attacks the philosophies of economist Adam Smith who through his invisible hand theory pushed the notion that the free market was self-regulating. In another post, he describes himself as “Keynesian.”
“…I was wondering to all the neoclassicals and neoliberals, why isn’t the market correcting itself?” he wrote. “If the invisible hand is so strong, shouldn’t it be able to overpower regulations?”
Pierson also appears to mock Republicans on another Facebook post, writing “you republicans are so cute” and posting an image that reads: “The Republican Party: Health Care: Let ‘em Die, Climate Change: Let ‘em Die, Gun Violence: Let ‘em Die, Women’s Rights: Let ‘em Die, More War: Let ‘em Die. Is this really the side you want to be on?” (emphasis added)
Teenage Angst in Overdrive? Or, just generally pissed off?
Last I hard was that apparently he was after the librarian who kicked him off the speech and debate team...
