Close to 20' dead in Connecticut school shooting,

I vote everyone drop their political agendas for a while and take the time to recognize the magnitude of the tragedy here. There will be time for proselytizing later. JMO.

The whole thing makes me really nauseous. It's bad. Really, really bad.

^This.


Children were killed. Innocent children who had done no harm to anyone, were ****ing slaughtered. Using this tragedy as an excuse to push your political opinions is beyond disgusting.

My heart absolutely breaks for anyone affected by this monstrous crime. Hold your children close, and remember what truly matters.

Want to leave work so badly and just hold my babies close. There are just no words, just so sick to my stomach and the tears won't shut off.

AGREED!

I don't even have kids and it still makes me want to cry.

Same here. I can't even imagine how those parents feel.

These horrible shootings and stabbings are crimes against us all and have the potential to eat away at our humanity. There is a lingering malignancy of anger and discontent and blame that is a knee jerk reaction. This ripple effect of world wide shock and disbelief leads us to look for rationality in the irrational and it cannot be found. This hurts us all. Do not allow it to lessen us.

This is beyond tragic. There is no way to undestand somethnig so devestating. My prayers are with all of the children, families, teachers, emergency services responders and the comunity as a whole.

The worst part about this is...I'm not even surprised this could happen anymore! That's the scariest part of this. It's become a normal thing that happens once or twice a year now.

The U.S. has had too many incidents, too close together, of crazy people with guns going off and shooting innocents.
How many months ago was Colorado?
It's heartbreaking that yet another has whipped out a gun, killed children and adults at a school, and then turned his gun on himself.
It is important to discuss how such tragedies can be prevented in the future.
Such a discussion is not politicization, but a drive for rationality.

Discussion is important.

Just not today. Let people grieve.

This is not a time for debate, but it is important to point out that the US is not the only place where mass killings take place. You can use this tragedy to support your soap box campaigne next week, today is about the torture and tearing apart of these poor families. This time is about respecting their pain, chaos, and loss.

I agree completely. Really, how can we be surprised that children are being killed? There was organized killing of them based on religion in the 30s and 40s, an entire crusade that used them in war.

The world is not getting more insane. It, like everything around us, is some sort of organized chaos that we can both predict and be surprised at all at the same time.

I wish things were different today. I wish so many things were different. My thoughts will be nowhere but on those children and families, in Connecticut and in China.
