Campus Rampage

What can one say?

Just tragic.

I feel sorry for those families/friends who lost loved ones.

I heard about that this morning gettin ready for work, at first they said it was only 3 people. My girl just called and said that the news said its prob more than thirty now. Why?? I could never understand why someone would want to kill so many innocent people. I just cant understand why. God be with the families of the ones lost, thoughts and prayers are with yall.

As a member of the human race...it is an unimaginable, horrific event. As a parent..I feel nothing but, sadness for the families. Many surely, not yet knowing...or worse....the families that do. My heart aches today...for all.

I was asking the same question, Marc.........Apparently (and I'm hearing the same stuff you're hearing).......There was 1 shooting at a location on campus......It was in the process of being investigated........and then, after some 2 hrs......This second and much deadlier shooting occurred........

I heard one dead and 6 wounded.......Then one dead and a dozen wounded......Then 20 dead (about 1 1/2 hrs ago) and a bunch more wounded......Then finally, 32 dead and unknown how many wounded.......

Two separate incidents (apparently) and one shooter at two locations at different times.......Obviously, it's a chaotic situation there..........

I just hope it doesn't get politicized like they always seem to do........

Mark Ames wrote a book about this phenomenon of "going postal". Very interesting.

BPofMD......ANY President of ANY party that DID NOT comment on this mass murder would be castigated to no end.......and maybe burned in effigy.........And BTW.....Barack has already chimed in......

I'm EXPECTING comments from politicians (which I guess means it's political.....but only if points are trying to be scored)......But what I'M talking about are calls for gun control, etc........

For right now, I'm sure that not all family members have been notified of the murders of the 31 students.......
