| At least 27 people are dead--including 18 children--after a gunman believed to be a student´s father opened fire today at an elementary school in Connecticut. Police were dispatched to Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown after they received reports of shots being fired by a gunman in one of the kindergarten classrooms of the school at 9.35am. There are preliminary reports a student´s 20-year-old father was the shooter and that he went from classroom to classroom firing at students and teachers with a .223-caliber rifle. An entire classroom of students is unaccounted for and frantic parents are desperately seeking information

Horrible tragedy. I can´t imagine what the parents are going through.
Just like some of the readers have been talking abour racially profiling arab muslims at airport, we need to start racial profiling of young white males in their 20s-30s at all schools and malls.
Search Google for major shootings in the USA… search the shooters name…. there are wackos of every size, shape, color and ethnicity… The school shooters are almost all young white males in their 20’s-30s.
I believe in responsible gun ownership… but too many crazies out there and unfortunately you and I have to put up with the inconvenience …. Just my two cents.

Itis a good thing that schools are "gun free zones." Imagine if one of the teachers had had a weapon (and the training)for defense; someone might have gotten hurt!

Now, these two event happening at the same time provides proof that insane people use any agent to accomplish their horrific deeds. It isn´t confined to any one object.

Still too early to know exactly what happened, either the body count or the nature of the perp(s).
But not too early for the usual suspects to start blaming the NRA and "lax" gun laws.
Very sad all around.

I would be curious to see how many of these young white male shooters are addicted to violent video games. I think they get bored with "pretend" shooting and they want to see what it would feel like to shoot at live targets (humans). So very sad at any time of year, but especially right before Christmas.

How is it that such things occur more and more often in America, yet many people cannot or will not admit that something is very wrong with our country. The left will blame this on gun ownership, but people do not go out and kill innocent children unless their souls have been overtaken by evil. God save us from the evil one.

With ultra-violent video games and Tarantino-style movies, our natural, instinctive revulsion to blood, torn and mangled bodies, etc. is being "programmed" out of us. Particularly true of people who are already mentally unstable.
What used to be "unthinkable" is now easily enacted with video games and transferring that "experience" to the real world is not that big of a leap to some people.

Another profoundly sad tragedy - it is less of a gun problem than it is a culture problem. Americans need to sit back and take a good look at themselves and the moral turpitude of society - we see the results of the ´me´ generation daily thrust in our faces. IMHO,it is past time for the pendulum to swing back and leave the madness of this hedonistic society in ashes.

If you have children STILL in a public school you are a brain-dead fool or extremely selfish to risk your kids mental and physical well-being for a dual income.
It is a horrible place to raise your kids and gets worse with each day.

Yes and don´t forget the fact that people are no longer taught to respect life or others. Everything today is me, me me me me!
Guns have nothing to do with the killing. The guy could have killed even more of the children with a bomb (which is actually easier to get one´s hands on than a gun). I am so sick of the lefties...they are going to use this as another campaign to outlaw guns or restrict them so much that nobody can get them (except the elite in power)

All over America today people are praying, ´dear God, don´t let this be a black man, dear God, don´t let this be a white Christian, dear allah, don´t let this be a muslim.´ When the vast majority of those groups are not violent but what we need to do is start banning all the violent movies, TV shows, video games. All of us here see this daily on our TV sets. Have any of you ever watched Criminal MInds? How they come up with the most insane plots showing the most horrific murders is beyond me. I stopped watching that show after just a few months. I see advertisements for other shows that show a pornography of violence. How does this affect the minds of young people? We have successfully banned God from the marketplace and have replaced HIm with the glorification of sex and violence. We have lost our souls.

Oh by the way, have you folks seen some of the stuff that is in movies nowadays? In both full feature movies and in short films. The extreme gore and evil that is portrayed in these so-called horror or crime movies is beyond anything imaginable. I saw a film where this doctor´s sick obsession was indulged. He paid a prostitute to cut off his body parts so he could eat them. And then the kid saw it all and kept a finger (to start the sick process over again in his life). I mean this stuff is beyond sick.

Romans 1: 28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness.
Unless there is great turning to our Creator, I fear we in the USA, and the World, are going to see more and more of the tragic results of "debased minds."

I haven´t yet seen the report that it was the kindergarten teacher´s son - but interesting to note that last week a young man murdered his father, an instructor at Casper College in Wyoming, and now this. Copy cat? (Well in Casper the father´s girlfriend was murdered first with a gun; then jr. used a bow and arrow on his dad).
As I said in the first thread down below, I am absolutely sickened. I spend a lot of time in elementary classrooms and to think that in a nice quiet neighborhood, in a school with decent security, that such horror can ensue.
As you can imagine my colleagues at the college here are knee-jerk blaming the NRA/gun lobby. No thought given to the fact that we have made it near impossible to teach traditional moral/religious values, that the family is no longer considered the building block of a strong healthy civilization, that there are no restrictions on the gratuitous violence and sex that our youngest children are exposed to, the glorification of the drug and ghetto and gang culture- and how all of that might have created a monster who can kill a classroom of innocent 5 year-olds.
No doubt we will hear soon enough about the mental health of the shooter. We´ll get all the details. But for now I am shaken to the core. This isn´t supposed to happen in America. Ramona (the Pest)

I would like to know if this guy was on Adderall or Ritalin. I´m convinced there´s a link. All the school shootings in the ´90s involving young men or adolescent boys had one thing in common: the use of Adderall, Ritalin or other ADHD drugs.

How can you protect your children when their teacher´s own child is the attacker? She may have been a wonderful teacher, but the children in her class were placed in danger because someone in her family was violent.
Pray for the parents of these murdered children.

The change in the White House´s position on Syria appears designed to bring it more into line with that long argued for by Britain and France. London and Paris have maintained that President Assad must be made to realise that he cannot secure a military victory against his opponents and must be forced to the negotiating table. Overnight, all Downing Street have been prepared to say is that the British government were kept informed of the decision. However, just 24 hours earlier the foreign secretary was in Washington holding talks with his opposite number, the US secretary of state.

Obama’s red line for involvement in Syria has been crossed: Bashar al-Assad has been caught killing people the wrong way. If he’d simply shot, knifed or tortured his opponents to death then the West would be staying out. But, instead, he used chemical weapons--and that’s just beyond the pale. And so we witness one of the many bizarre moral conundrums of modern war. “It’s not what you do, it’s the way that ya do it.” What does the US’s engagement in Syria amount to? A humanitarian intervention? A desperate reaction to a likely Assad victory?

Should we follow the US´s lead, and arm the Syrian rebels? Like many readers, my first reaction is to recoil at the idea of more adventurism in the Middle East. The idea that Britain should get directly involved in this savage little war seems plain wrong. But arming the rebels does not mean the UK takes part in the fighting. This is about giving people the tools to take up the fight for themselves. “No way!” many sensible people will insist. “These so-called ´rebels´ are nasty people, supported by Islamic fighters.” In a conflict involving tens, if not hundreds, of

If any issue has exposed the Obama administration´s weakess on the world stage, it is the Syrian crisis. From the moment the first anti-government protestors took to the streets two years ago, President Barack Obama has appeared like a startled rabbit caught in the glare of a major international crisis. Rather than seeing the explosion of political dissent in Syria as a golden opportunity to rid the world of a ruthless and brutal dictatorship that has been actively hostile to American interests in the region for more than four decades, Mr Obama was seized by a fit of inaction.

Whether it’s cheese that’s become dusty with mould, milk that’s firmly on the side of sour or meat that’s gone a little translucent with age, we’ve all wondered whether to tuck in--or bin.

A guide dog saved the lives of two of its trainers by alerting them to an out-of-control car speeding towards them on the pavement. The 18-month-old Labrador O´Neil was being taken on a field test in San Rafael, California, when he suddenly stopped and swivelled his head to look behind him. That prompted veteran training supervisor Todd Jurek to glance round to see a black car reversing straight at them. Mr Jarek then had just enough time to grab his blindfolded apprentice instructor, Danielle Alvarado, and drag her round the corner to safety as the car barrelled past.

WASHINGTON — The State Department has hired an alarming number of law-enforcement agents with criminal or checkered backgrounds because of a flawed hiring process, a stunning memo obtained by The Post reveals. The background problems are severe enough that many of the roughly 2,000 agents in State’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security can play only limited roles in agency efforts to police bad conduct and prosecute wrongdoers. The problems in the bureau are the latest revelation in an exploding scandal that also involves accusations that members of former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s security detail

Washington- Syria has crossed a "red line" with its use of chemical weapons, including the nerve agent sarin gas, against rebels, a move that is prompting the United States to increase the "scale and scope" of its support for the opposition, the White House said Thursday. The acknowledgment is the first time President Barack Obama´s administration has definitively said what it has long suspected -- that President Bashar al-Assad´s forces have used chemical weapons in the ongoing civil war.

Asked what the moral difference is between what Dr. Kermit Gosnell did to babies born alive and aborting those same infants moments before birth, Pelosi refused to answer. "As a practicing and respectful Catholic, this is sacred ground to me when we talk about this," Pelosi said. "This shouldn´t have anything to do with politics."
