Second by second detailed analysis of the shooting. A lot more problems with the response than we thought.
UNPREPARED AND OVERWHELMED
In this culture, maybe we can't. I'm for disarming the public and law enforcement, the way they do in England. Almost 1/2 the guns in public hands in the world are in the hands of people in the USA. We are a land of lunatics.Then how are we supposed to police our country at home and defend our country abroad?
Well that's because the rest of the world lacks freedom, silly.In this culture, maybe we can't. I'm for disarming the public and law enforcement, the way they do in England. Almost 1/2 the guns in public hands in the world are in the hands of people in the USA. We are a land of lunatics.
Dunno, that seems ass backward. You think guns make you free? I don't know who's spoon feeding you that malarkey. NRA fronters, the shame!Well that's because the rest of the world lacks freedom, silly.
You can't use logic with the rabid 2a crowd.I'm perplexed. I was under the impression that the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. I mean that logic is pretty infallible.
Your sarcasm meter needs a new battery.Dunno, that seems ass backward. You think guns make you free? I don't know who's spoon feeding you that malarkey. NRA fronters, the shame!

Beautiful girl. Sorry they couldn't find a way to prevent it.

I just read about that.
PTSD is a real challenge for everyone.. and most of the sufferers can't seem to get the help they need.
I've had it twice. The first time I had it, took 3 years to fully get over it.
This graphic is really true.

The mass shootings we've been seeing are orders of magnitude more treacherous than any stabbing incidents (since Attila the Hun).Some people seemed to think that having a few cops stroll around visibly carrying guns would somehow magically change that. As if it were cops that were being stabbed.
...the Tories now seem to view them as just another part of the state, ripe for being privatised).
PTSD isn't something you ever "get over." You at best learn to live with it and it becomes your new "normal."
There are many accommodations my wife has to make to fit my "normal." The first one she learned is to be across the room when she wakes me up.
Ban the guns. It's gun-headed America at fault. The NRA is the enemy.
Not to mention the families of Sandy Hook have been victimized every day since it happened by the right wing conspiracy machine. Denied their children existed. Having their pain and suffering called imaginary.No, suicides after the fact probably have a lot more to do with the politicians and leaders who failed to do anything in the aftermath of such a horrific attack.
Who knows what actually led to the Sandy Hook father’s suicide, but I wouldn’t blame him for looking at how quickly New Zealand changed their laws, and thinking somehow he and the other parents had somehow “failed”.
You're in denial just like 90+% of Americans. We need more than gun control, we need a sea change in perspective.No, suicides after the fact probably have a lot more to do with the politicians and leaders who failed to do anything in the aftermath of such a horrific attack.

It's a challenge to get much done under minority rule.You're in denial just like 90+% of Americans. We need more than gun control, we need a sea change in perspective.
That's part of the sea change we need. Domination of politics by virtue of my-political-machine is where I stand, fuck you even if you are in the right has to change if we're going to survive. We need leaders, people of integrity and conviction, people who are motivated, willing, able and committed to doing what's best, not sheep too afraid to challenge the apparatus in place.It's a challenge to get much done under minority rule.
Another reason America is behind the curve. Polarization is killing us.It's a challenge to get much done under minority rule.
Wait, so...a kid's friends got shot & died in front of him at school, and a principle from another school sent him pictures of guns?
