My heart cry's out for the poor innocent souls(many babies)in all of the tragic recent events lost for no reason other than the evil sick minds of those who feel removing others from there loved ones an ending their most productive lives as they decide to commit suicide, some how thinking this is some form of distorted glory.
This horror can only remind us all to take the time to hug our loved ones and let them know how much we love them,for tomorrow we no not what it will bring.
May we all take some time today to think of the poor poor family's who have lost their loved ones and send a positive thought or if you inclined a prayer their way
God bless them all

The number of people killed is horrendous enough, but that most of them are children is beyond words. It makes one wonder what must be going through a person's head, that would cause them to do something like that. He also killed his mother, who was teaching there. No doubt, that had more than a little to do with it.

What I wonder mostly is whether there is anything that can be done to prevent these sort of things from happening. Is it possible to fully protect schools and other public gathering places from psychotic killers? Or is it just one of the horrible things in life, which we can do little or nothing about? Most of the time there is little or no indication that something bad is going to happen, until it's already too late.

It is tragic, hopefully one day we will have grown up enough as a society and as individuals that this no longer happens. Some days it seems as if a sickness has descended upon us. We must remember to honor those passed and celebrate the living not just at this time of year but all the time.

What a massacre!!

That SICKO really got ticked OFF by something… I cannot imagine WHAT got him started… Damn shame…

May God bless them…

Really sick…

... and now we will hear MORE about Gun Control… It's the PERSON behind it that is the problem… Other people around that person ( lived / worked with ) should have also reported Bad Signs to someone…

A sad SAD day…

Judging from the rash of recent, random slaughter events, it seems that human society has sunk even lower than ever (if that's possible).
It makes me literally sick.

Sure it's a horrendous event… probably the worst of it's kind in US History!

It's a reality… So is the probable ATTACK on guns… going to be a reality…

Reality is Reality…

May God bless them all on this very sad day.
Brought me to tears when I heard the news at lunch time today. Needless to say , I couldn't eat.
Later in the day , I heard that the killer was let into the previously secured building : (
I feel so bad for all of the little ones and their poor parents , as well as the school staff members that were also lost in this tragedy. Rest In Peace…Love and prayers being sent to all involved in this senseless act.

When I seen that, I wanted to just thro up! These things are happening way too much. It's a tragedy. If these idiots don't like living, why take out all the inicent kids. GOD help their families.

So sad, it brought tears to our eyes instantly. We have grandchildren in that area and our stomachs sank when it came on the news. What those poor parents and children are going through is Unimaginable. Our hearts and prayers go out to all of them.

I just don't understand what is wrong with someone who would commit such a horrific crime.

Yep, when I heard about this today the first thing I thought of was my 6yo granddaughter (down in GA, 7 hours away). Sure woulda liked to be able to give her a hug!
I cant even IMAGINE the pain these folks are in, and I hope I never find out.

Words cannot describe how terrible I feel for the victim's loved ones. As the father of three young boys, I gave each one a hug after hearing the news.
However when these things happen, I also try to conjure the same level of sympathy for the shooter's (surviving and not) family. They also lost loved ones today. And heck, I even feel sorry for the shooter. That boy (20 yo) was obviously in a lot of pain. Someone would have to be in their own personal version of hell to be driven to this type of act.
