Maybe when we stop making media celebrities out of these murderers.. Amyrlin Send a noteboard - 16/12/2012 05:36:19 PM
i am not linking to any specific article, because i'm sure everyone will find the same info at their favorite news source. my only real question is: why do we put the label of "worst" school shooting on virginia tech simply because of the body count? i'd nominate this one for "worst" because of the ages of the children killed, even though it is only the second "worst" shooting by body count. maybe some day we will live to see a day where we don't have yet another mass shooting to compare to all the others.... :[


We will stop this insanity.

In other news. Today, I am hopeful that there is a hell. And I am hoping that this guy is in hell right now, and that his skin is being peeled off in small, painful strips, and that his eyes are being poked with hot irons and that he lives an eternity in this hell, reliving this pain and damnation day after day after day after day.

For each of those 30 years sociologists have warned of the growing danger of growing alienation. Joel - 16/12/2012 10:05:28 PM 869 Views
I don't know what you mean, though. Tom - 17/12/2012 05:53:44 PM 845 Views
I dunno, your response suggests you figured it out pretty quickly. Joel - 18/12/2012 05:08:12 PM 914 Views
Well, I more or less agree with everything you said *NM* Tom - 19/12/2012 01:23:26 AM 382 Views
Short form: The common phrases "suicide by cop" and "going postal" did not exist a generation ago. Joel - 18/12/2012 09:14:51 PM 857 Views

if they were after fame, they would probably all have tried to stay alive after killing everyone moondog - 16/12/2012 10:01:50 PM 814 Views

what do your examples all have in common? moondog - 18/12/2012 08:42:59 PM 830 Views
I frequently confuse that detail of Hinckleys shooting with Chapmans, sorry. Joel - 18/12/2012 08:59:25 PM 915 Views
you are going to have to define "many" moondog - 18/12/2012 10:13:33 PM 849 Views
Well, it is a relative term, and not an all-encompassing one. Joel - 26/12/2012 07:04:25 PM 926 Views

Chapman wasn't a mass murderer, though. Neither was Hinckley. Tom - 20/12/2012 05:15:23 AM 812 Views
True, but it does demonstrate how easily and frequently notoriety motivates shootings. Joel - 26/12/2012 07:22:37 PM 846 Views
