Seriously what is wrong with people these days? What happened to good old fashion suicide? Why the fuck do people feel the need to go into a school and just start killing people before they kill them self?

News flash life for the most part sucks ass, mine has not exactly gone the way I had hopped. I have a ridiculous academic load, plus I dunno what the hell I am going to do when and if I actually graduate. I am single and have been for way to long, thus I haven't been laid in waaaaay to long. I don't have a job, which is making it very difficult to move out, and my parents god love 'em are slowly driving me insane. That's just to name a few, and I'm sure everyone reading has their own laundry list of problems.

So what's my point you ask? As they say life's a bitch, and then you die. But if you are such a worthless individual that you can't make it and need to take the easy way out. Just go off by yourself and find a nice quite place and fucking kill yourself in private. Don't drag people who actually have what it takes to keep going in life with you.

So to all you past, present, and future school shooters: Fuck off, and burn in hell

If it can make you feel better, I'd take a ticket to hell to burn them myself once I'm off with this life.

...

Then maybe grab a ticket to the Turquoise Coast ... in the form of reincarnated plankton. I hear the pictures of the sea there doesn't do it justice.

The mentality of the people dragging innocent can go around the lines of

''My life sucks; and it sucks that your life doesn't.. and I think it's not fair, so I'll balance this out mself''

*empties clip*
*loads a bullet back in the gun*
*blows own head off*

That's what happened in Montreal when there was a shooting. Luckily, he was 1) a shitty shot 2) an idiot 3) a paranoid emo

so all that lead to several shots being fired, but all the 11 shots he DID fire for the most part were all in one girl mostly, and she and I think another person are the only victims. Frankly, the dude started off on the ''wrong foot'' mind you, by thinking the cops were there for him when he saw some chilling at a corner. They were in a car, unaware of his presence, idled, and almost point-blank. He missed them all despite having emptied a clip at the windshield. Then went hiding in the school and took some hostages. But was mostly just a douche. He ends up being shot in the arm, one bullet, then can't take it anymore, collapse in a corner, and shoots his head off.

I'm glad we're shitty shots here. At least our incompetence seems to save some lives... more then our firearm regulation laws that are but most ridiculous (I won't get started on them)

This all started because of the columbine thing, Everything thinks that if life sucks and they wanna die at least they can go out with a bang and be famous for a minute...

...Uh, Columbine, if I remember correctly, wasn't the first. It was just one of the first really big really publicized ones, especially in recent years.

As far as this. It's really heart-breaking to hear about these things. I was so upset after Columbine. My heart goes out to the families of those effected.

Edit: I shouldn't have said that last bit. I don't know the whole situation, and can't judge. That was more in reference to the Columbine one than this one.

I was meaning it was the first hugely publicized one.

Kill a few and it's a tragedy.
Kill several thousand and it's a statistic.

Fucked up how the world works eh?

Although I will say, to BM, that 9/11 was no statistic.

Moving along, yeah, that sucks. I not sure what else you can say about it. People do terrible things.

The worlds like somebody with constipation, its full of shite (~Duane Weatherall, 2008 on Pocket Otaku ), unfortunately you have a minority of people who crave fame no matter the cost, their lives or others included, thats why there is at least one highly publicised school shooting every year.

Has anybody stopped to look at the demographic of the shooters?

From what I have seen, the majority have been young, white males (teenaged or early twenties).

And while there has been plenty of speculation surrounding the effect society might have on that demographic that would cause them to do something like this, nobody is taking the right steps to solve the problem. Otherwise we wouldn't have more shootings.

So the subject is moot; we can talk about it, and talk about it, but in the end nobody is doing anything.

Yeah, Dloe and I heard about this while at RuSan's for our Valentine's Day sushi...we basically had the same response of..."sigh...Not another one?"

Makes me thankful I'm out of school and Dloe's close to it. I like living in Atlanta, all these mass university shootings seem to happen to the NW of here.

Some people have no business having access to firearms...it gives those who are responsible individuals a bad name.
