Dozens dead in US school shooting

[Shadow00]

Doesn't take much for a person to "snap" to be honest.
You can blame everything from video games to family matters,
but it always comes down to what's in your head.

And as a matter of fact, I think that schools themselves shouldn't have police officers in them.
Now the buildings that are called "schools" in today's era, although nobody is taught anything and violence is permitted...
Might as well put snipers on the rooftop for all I care.

Back to the topic now, probably you must consider, that it isn't a tragedy at all.
Consider that 154.899 people die every day (2006 stats) on average.
And let's not forget that by no means are they all over 60-70 years old.
So suddenly 20 kids die in a school somewhere in the US and it's a tragedy?
Not even close. Saddening? With some soundtrack and editing by Peter Jackson I guess it is. But definitely not a tragedy. WW2 was a tragedy. So were Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
When you get that in the US, then we may talk of tragedies.

Just because other people die or there were worse events doesn't make it tragic. It doesn't negative the tragedies of other events. Quit being heartless and suing because it wasn't as bad as sme other tragedies that it isn't a tragedy. These were children.

And hundreds of children die each day all over the world, but I don't see any topics about them.
That's my point.

That isn't what you said earlier. And once again, it doesn't stop the atrocities around the world from being bad. Next time phrase it better. Some people live close to that town, and some people knew those kids.

You didn't even mention that in your previous post...

Are people suppose to assume or guess that when you're being heartless?

22 children dying that had loving families, and they were loved themselves, died at one time, is a tradgedy. Just because more worse events happened in history that involved much more destruction compared to the 22 kids dying, does not at all make it a non-tragedy.

You go around taking so many things like this and just shake them off, saying they're nothing, yet you speak of what bad things happens in Greece a lot(or have been since you haven't mentioned it lately), and expect people to feel sorry for you, or for the people of Greece, or want them to pay attention to what is happening in Greece. It's ironic.


The people of America, especially New England sees this dreadful event as a tradgedy. Because all those sad kids died at the same time. If those 159.988 people died in the same place at the same time in the same country, at one event, it would be a horrible tragedy.

And, you speak of no topics being made on FWG about other "tagedies" in bad regions, for example Africa, when we all know there's a lot of shootings there or what not. But, that doesn't mean it isn't known in the countries and surrounding countries' media. If 25 people die in a building shootings in Uganada, and we don't hear about it, does it mean it didn't happen or wasn't recognized? No. The country and it's people see it as a tragedy. Uganda's allies and neighbors see it as a tragedy.

Not every sad thing that happens is just, blurted right out and urgently told to every single country in the world.

Has anyone read the book 19 minutes. It really shows you what a school shooter is going through. I understand the school shooter in the book was a boy being bullied and im not supporting the shooter in ay way. This book really opens your eyes to school shooters. From the victims, to the shooter's parents and flashbacks that show what could lead up to a school shooting. If you havent read this book you should. It will open your eyes and help you understand school shootings. I wouldnt read it if your around 10-14 because it has bad language and some sex scenes.

Except that has nothing to do with this shooting. This wasn't some revenge on the 20 kids less than ten years old.
