A couple of days ago a high school kid in NM went in & killed a couple of classmates, injured another maybe dozen. Shooter is dead.

But did anyone notice that it made the news for about 20 seconds that day with ZERO follow-ups? What was wrong with the kid? Where did he get the gun? Was he on mind-altering drugs, or illegal drugs?

Well, I have my answers. Nobody cares. It's more important to talk about Al Franken grabbing girls' butts than the failure of our schools.

Sad.
 
EVERY SINGLE DAY around 3,300 people die in car accidents.

Should this be headline news too?
 
Shooter was not a student nor a kid . He was middle age and had been investigated before after posting that He wanted to do a mass shooting .
He dressed like a High School kid and walked in and shot randomly .

So how can we turn these shootings and stabbings into something positive, have we discussed preventative measures and changes to our kids school days to reduce the risk of becoming victims ? for example in London where school stabbings appear to be very common many parents are now buying their kids slash and stab resistant clothing. I read about one wealthier US city (cant remember if it was Boston or NYC) where sales of bullet proof school bags, satchels rucks etc were popular. Apart from being horified I doubt there is much we can say or do to reduce such incidents but I guess we could try and make own own kids that bit safer.

Where I live we dont have much of a knife problem and no noticable gun problems but many young thugs do carry and use craft knives, stanly knives and use em way to often. So i bought my son some knife proof gloves and put a 1.5 mm piece of sheet Aluminium inside his messenger bag that he could use to fend off a knife attack.

nobody cares,,,,say that to any parent who's child has been killed or injured in one of these school shootings,and see how many teeth you lose for that comment,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
 
you know I saw and read the story on that and there was a couple and yes the media usually will milk one for close to a week, they don't care about the victim's in these shooting,just the headline and the ratings,,,,but anyone with kids worry about this now,it is a major concern for the welfare of the children,,,,,,,,,,short of putting metal detectors at every entrance in every school and cops on school grounds all day long while children are present,and a complete lock down of the school after hours,,,,you tell me how can this be prevented

and if you don't think it was well covered think again

I googled it and there are more story's on this than I could read in a year

Two things that prevent crimes like these are the People that know the offender intervene or Someone at the scene of the crime stop them by force . Yes the protective measures are good like a get out plan and protective back pack .
 
The best way to curb mass shootings is to stop glorifying them and making them headline news for two week periods of time. Notice the higher the kill count them better the ratings? The media is profiting from this.

Mass shooters are seeking notoriety. Don't encourage future ones by giving it to them.

TexasFreedom is a moron.
 
This one got ignored for the most part . I dont think thats fame is the driving force . Most kill them self or killed by LEO . Look at majority of cases and they are at the end of their emotional rope . Life just wont conform to their wishes. Real end of the roaders . The friends and families know something bad is coming and should be confronting or bringing attention to them . This guy was even interrogated because of his online post .

Fame/notoriety is a primary factor. They all knew they were going to die before hand.

Yes they're disturbed and at end of emotional rope. They could've just taken themselves out but no. They want the world to see them in their final stage.

If people would stop obsessing over these shootings the media would stop covering them on such a massive scale. There would then be less motivation for these lowlifes to try to turn their miserable lives into a movie.
 
The usual CNN , MSNBC , ABC , NBC , CBS anti gun pile on has not happened on this case . I wonder if He was another liberal gone on a rampage and they know it will be turned around on them .
 
I didn't read the story as I don't believe in contributing to or glorifying these types of incidents. They usually all have similar narratives.

Unfortunately it looks like this boy/man/person is finally getting the attention he desired in the first place. Thanks to the fear mongering media and our inexplicable interest in large violent occurrences.

Both sides of the media do it. They just take on different angles. The liberal media stirs the pot with their anti gun agenda. The Right media stirs the pot which their gun grabbing fear promoting antics.

They're two sides of the same coin. Both sides of the media have the same agenda....ratings. People here take bait every time. We're taking it right now.

You hit the nail on the head toexist. Stop covering it and these idiots will stop wanting to do it. They are angry and want attention. I hope I don't see this covered in the media. Let everyone see that "nobody cares" and maybe they will stop doing this stupid stuff.
 
GG,
Yes, you can hunt to find more news, but I'm talking about up-front news. National ABC/NBC/CBS/FOX news. Not at 3am, but at the 6pm/10pm news.

I agree that it would be great if the media stopped giving the nut-jobs all the attention. This is just the first time they've actually done that. However I suspect the reason isn't that they are stopping this for moral reasons, rather I believe they don't want to take away attention from all the anti-Trump/anti-Moore news. Even to the point where they gave LOTS of fake-news in their efforts to hurt Trump/Moore just this week.

Regarding this shooter, does anyone have info about his past? My first question is was he 'diagnosed' ADHD/ADD, and what mind-altering drugs was he on for years? What type of household was he raised in? Was he antifa? Far-left leaning? My reasons for asking is that nearly every one of these young mass-shooting nutjobs took Ritalin for years, does he fit the profile?

it took me less than 30 seconds to debunk your no new stories on this,,,you called the shooter a student,,,if you had checked facts you would have known he was not a student at the school,,,,,nothing bothers me more than when anyone starts a thread without checking the facts,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

you sir did not look very hard before posting this thread
 
it's hard to deal with someone who thinks they know it all,

TF you have proved that in other threads ,,,,it is why I pay little to no attention to you

,,,,,but this thread required a reply

He doesn't care about the facts of the story. He only wants to get people here riled up so he can have an excuse to preach his rhetoric.
 
GG,

I never claimed to have every detail. In fact this whole thread is about the lack of news. I will up front acknowledge that I did not search for more details, but that wasn't the point.

All the initial reports said the shooter was a student. And I don't just rely on TV news, there are a few conservative new sites (like drudge) that I read daily. My point was that not one of them had further news updates. You had a few moments everywhere that first day then nothing else on mainstream TV/websites.

So that was the facts of my post: there have not been more news widely covered. Sure, you can find things if you hunt them out (I neither confirmed no denied that).

Do you hate me (because of my faith) so much you can't have a conversation with me, and hear what I'm saying rather than mis-interpreting the words? Your posts seem to validate that view, correct me if I'm wrong.

your thread depraved living without Christ is an insult ,,,the only one I see deprived of anything on this site is you ,your bigotry towards those of us who will not blindly follow an imaginary figure speaks volumes about who you are,,,,,I have news for you buddy,you are no better than anyone else and with that attitude of yours,if there is a God you will never make it through the gate,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I am not a big Bible reader but some where in that book it says God will judge your life,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,you sure as hell are not god and have no right to be judging anyone

We are all Judgmental, Racist and do not like being told we are wrong, human nature.....Religion will always be a love/hate topic....as far as OP's original post I think every shooting is evaluated by media and they pick and chose how to cover IF the circumstances of the shooting can be used to further the anti-gun agenda....most shootings do not aide the anti's case or we would be bombarded by Chicago shooting every minute of every day.......Slidefire stocks are still legal selling like hotcakes, AR's and AK's are still legal along with Suppressors and Full auto/select fire weapons....it's all the media and the controllers who are more concerned with making money than anything else...

Listen to this inbred piece of shyt. I'm willing to bet no one has ever heard of the ******** town u live in. There are condos in Chicago worth more than your entire zipcode.
 
GG,

You could have just said "yes" and ended things there. Let me make a request, why don't you just put me on 'ignore'? That way you won't see anything I write and hence won't get further upset. I can set aside that conversation and move onto other topics. If you can't, then it's best that you ignore me.

We'll see...
