Exactly. Nothing to see here.  We are living in a safe world, safer than ever.  **** happens, it sucks, get over it.

 

One could ask for some proof of this, but I’m not going that route. I suggest if we are safer than ever, it seems we are improving. LET’S KEEP DOING THAT! 

 

Don’t tell those parents who lost their children today “*** happens, it sucks, get over it.”   I swear.....

I will tell those parents exactly that. Get over it.  Today was likely the worst day of your life. Tomorrow will suck just as much, the next day won't be fun, nor the day after that. But, you'll go on with your life always missing a part of it, sure, but you'll go on with your life.

 

Every parent in this country should feel happier knowing their kid is in school and safer there than on the commute to or from school, on a sports field, at a mall or store, walking the block, etc.

 

Facts trump feelings. Emotional responses to horrific events don't change anything. Sensationalization and pandering of such events by the media only scares the sheep.  I don't walk on all fours, I can promise you that.

 

The sad truth is, I would bet by Friday of next week we have a 4 or 5 other half dozen majorly reported news stories of horrific events in this country. Not that it will be anything different than normal, it's just a lot better to cover those than it is cover other news that's inconvenient to agendas.

I told myself not to click in here.  I did it.  Should have listened to myself.

 

I know one thing.  If a Congressman's family were executed every time this happened there would be a helluva lot more urgency in getting it dealt with.

So, you offer no solution. Just some platitude and emotional dribble.  Yeah, wish you'd not have clicked here, either.

I stopped reading at the bolded. You have no clue what they are going through, but “get over it” is your response. They will have to try, but anyone who suggests that as a response is hard to take seriously. We must take every reasonable, responsible step you can to continue going in the right direction. Why is that so hard?

Why did no one try to console this kid? His classmate are saying that he was a loner who rarely showered, wore a trench coat to school every day, was bullied routinely, posted satanic imagry to facebook, wore a vest with two communist pins and a German Iron Cross, and had a custom made Born to Kill shirt? I mean, there were so many obvious red flags going on, and yet, everyone ignored them.

Again, buddy, I do appreciate this opportunity but you are having entirely emotional response. There is no way to have an honest discussion when emotions are running this high.

Because we've been treating such things as dangerous, and that we have to appreciate unique differences without offending somebody. We have to tolerate those which are stupid or obscene. We have to accept those who disagree with us without confrontation, even if civil.

No, it’s called a human response. I hope I was born with this. You state things are safer than ever. Let’s keep doing the things that continue that path. Why not? You DON’T want to continue improving? Have we gotten TOO safe? You make no sense. I can have a rational discussion, but this is getting old.

Well I do recall you mentioning being a sociopath, so I understand it. Now if you would actually have the stones to say it to a parent looking into the casket of their murdered child thats a different story. If you would then you're a sadist as well.

[John from Riverside]

As an advisor at a University (and a former military vet who takes security very seriously) this is constantly on my mind.

 

Our commencement is coming up.  Every year while the other staff if my office are checking people in and making sure they are lined up correctly i am working with the campus police on crowd control, walking the grounds for suspicious activity or packages, etc. etc.

 

My prayers are with their families

[TheElectricCompany]

Can't tell if Boyst is serious or just trolling the waters. Either way, take a lap. 

I don't care what statistics you want to roll out. Mass shootings are on the rise and we've got to figure out a way to stop that trend.

pat yourself on the back. it's probably easy for someone with no kids who sleeps with cattle to not have any empathy toward human liife and then even goes as far as to let those know who do have, especially towards kids, that they're being over emotional.

 

you take the prize for possibly the worst poster I know I've ever encountered on a message board.

 

you should be proud, no wait, I know you're proud of yourself as self indulgence human beings are, so there is that.

i don't want to get things worse and without a definitive plan we cannot be assured it would be better.

 

the gimmick of "excelsior" is schticky.  it doesn't fly in reality.  eutopia will never occur.

100% serious.

and, you're a dolt.  you don't care about statistics, as stated, so when i provide stats that show (and they do) that mass shootings are on not on the decline, you'll interject.

 

sorry to burst your bubble, but you're lightly not that bright for an electric company.

and you took me seriously that i'm a sociopath?  and then question if i had the stones to say that to a parent?  ****, as a sociopath, that's exactly what you'd do.  that's not a sadist.  you need the dsm9

 

edit: oh, and, no, i wouldn't waste my time telling that to a parent who just lost their child that was murdered.  instead, i'd remain quite unless provoked or infringed.  disirregardless, you act as if i've never had hard times or known struggle or dealt with death/murder/suicide/etc.  we all have.  3 classmates murdered.  2 close friends suicide.  4 or 5 classmates died tragically within a year of graduation.  several of my employees have either a) been murdered b) died tragically c) died on the job.

 

life sucks, but you'll never make it out alive.  so i don't live in fear.

I am 100% all for that but there is way too much distraction going on for anyone to grow a pair of balls and do anything about what's going on because it's too god damn easy to be a victim and the payoff is too good damn high.

 

Great post 

You are a tool. Blame the victims. Ok.

I've been called worse.

Statistics don't support your case. Ask the FBI themselves:

https://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/25/us/25shooters.html

 

4 massacres in the past 8 months with 10-59 fatalities. 

There are many things that are getting better, but not this.

the ny times is cute.

 

your education on the facts of that article is even cuter.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_shooting

the awesome wikipedia is always a source of fun.

Quote

A mass shooting is an incident involving multiple victims of firearms-related violence.^[1] The United States' Congressional Research Service acknowledges that there is not a broadly accepted definition, and defines a "public mass shooting"^[2] as one in which four or more people selected indiscriminately, not including the perpetrator, are killed, echoing the FBI definition^[3][4] of the term "mass murder". However, according to the Investigative Assistance for Violent Crimes Act of 2012, signed into law in January 2013, a mass killing is defined as a killing with at least three deaths, excluding the perpetrator.^[5][6][7][8] Another unofficial definition of a mass shooting is an event involving the shooting (not necessarily resulting in death) of five or more people (sometimes four)^[9] with no cooling-off period.^{[10] [9][11]} Related terms include school shooting and massacre.

 

 

thus, the you're wrong.

 

sorry, i'll leave the mic here for you...try again? or should we try another game?

[TheElectricCompany]

Boyst, I think it's safe to say that "we hear what we want to hear". 

You should write to your representatives and tell them to keep up the good work. 

I'll write to mine. 

Peace.

I just was reading an article and something struck me as really disturbing. The article says "The bloodshed 30 miles south of houston is the worst mass shooting in America since February....."

 

WTF is going on inside of these kids heads?

Breakdown in society. God is slowly being eliminated from our lives, so something has to fill the void. The left is doing its hardest to break up families and promote immorality. Horribly tragic and heartbreaking, but not surprising.
