Another day, another school shooting

[allisolm]

Four dead and more (5) wounded. Shooter dead. Shooter was a juvenile. Christian school in Madison, Wisconsin. K-12 school with about 390 students.

Not that I think it will generate any changes regarding gun laws, but the dead and wounded deserve at least our notice.

Update says 2 dead, 6 wounded,

Whoa. National coverage has been lacking. I was wondering what mass shooting # this was. It’s 83.

Edit, when they said this number earlier on live TV, I was wondering why it’s so low. 83 is only school shootings > _ <

I was wondering the same thing when I saw a piece about a kid killing his four family members yesterday in New Mexico.

I dispatched thoughts and prayers

 

[MomentsofSanity]

Seems less abundant after than before... thoughts and prayers...

 

[Brainonska511]

Sadly, nothing can be done to stop this.

Thanks bro, now I don't have to.

Only two dead and six wounded? Not even worth coverage or useless and fake “thoughts and prayers”. That is weak sauce and not even a mass shooting. That is a typical Monday, What a loser mass shooter. Pfffft /s

Christian school you say? I’m surprised their thoughts and prayers didn’t prevent this.

 

[Perknose]

Saw this, couldn't even make myself open the article about it. My anger at all the folks who somehow accept this as the putative price of FWEEDOM has morphed into resigned bewilderment. As my good friend Jen has been known to say, "People suck."

I bet they have a secret gay student.

I bet they have a secret gay student.

We all know the shooter was a wayward gay trans liberal already.

 

[dank69]

But did they have the ten commandments posted? That's what keeps the evil out.

We gotta protect the CEO's not the kids!

 

[GodisanAtheist]

*kicks in door*

OMG everyone are the CEOs OK?! Has anyone seen... oh wait its just another school shooting?

Pffft

 

[ivwshane]

Possibly but either way it was God’s will.

Well that and a Trump Bible also works

I’m more concerned about the gun being ok, after all, people kill people not guns. Is the gun traumatized?

 

[ondma]

Latest news is 2 victim fatalities: a teacher and a one student. Also the shooter apparently committed suicide.
Surprisingly, the report I saw said the shooter was a female. I guess DEI isn't over yet!!

Seriously, though. This is so sad and frustrating. If one's life is so bad they feel it necessary to commit suicide, either get help or just do it. Dont take someone else with you.

 

[eelw]

But that’s generally the case. Shooting at a religious school. It’s a student constantly told being a lesbian is a sin.

Surprisingly, the report I saw said the shooter was a female.

Just heard that on the radio. As far as I remember, that's a first. 17 yr-old.

edit: Looks like she was only 15. So sad that anyone so young felt killing others and themselves was the solution to any problem.

The 'being female' doesn't itself constitute a "first", if that's what you are saying.

I Don't Like Mondays was the first 7" single I bought with my own money, as it happens. Was years before I learned what it was about (what with not being American).

 

[allisolm]

I guess my memory doesn't remember that far. I'll go with second then.

 

[MrSquished]

Only three dead? Come on, does that even count in America at this point?
