Senseless Shooting...It could have been anyone
Options
Wasn't sure where to post this. Seems crazy. It happened to be an australian baseball player out for a run in the middle of the day but it could have been anybody going for a run trying to get in shape.

Yup. He was killed by animals, in this case, animals with no soul.0

You like to think, "That couldn't happen here," but you never know...0

I agree. I hope those kids get tried as adults and locked away for the maximum amount of time possible. Period.0

Senseless and tragic.0

That is exactly what my parents told me when I was applying for colleges. I visited Virginia Tech's campus a week before the shooting there and they told me "It can happen anywhere" so I shouldn't base my decision off of that.
And not quite as tragic, but still worrisome is the shooting at an Atlanta school yesterday. No one was hurt but apparently the guy was telling people he hadn't taken his meds that day...0 -
Apparently those lads were just bored...
I could put those animals down with less remorse than I would feel for killing a rabid dog.
Does that make me a bad person?0 -
This makes me want to cry.0

Thus they should be destroyed. Not with anger, vengeance or passion. Rather in the same way that one would destroy a rabid dog. With compassion, as it is not the animal's choice or fault. With remorse, knowing that due to some strange combination of circumstances these things failed to develop. And finally with gratitude, knowing that there but by the grace of God go we and it is only through chance and good fortune that we and ours are safe and sane.0 -
It's a shame that they can't face the death penalty. If ever there were candidates for this treatment.0

Once upon a time I might have thought so. But these days? Nope.0 -
Tragic.
Lots of emotions, I'll keep them to myself.0 -

So sad and such a waste of a young life. Feel so sorry for his family.
Makes me really grateful to live in a country where gun crime is so rare.

Absolutely revolting. What is the world coming to? There must be something in the water, I swear. I really feel sometimes that the U.S. is in big, big trouble - things only seem to be getting worse. The few people who actually realize what's really going on are silenced when they speak up about/against it, which is scary - but the scariest thing is that most people are extremely ignorant and too absorbed in their own little fantasy worlds to give a crap.0

One of the kids interviewed said that they were bored and decided when he ran by that they would shoot him. I don't quite understand. where did they get the gun? The one mother interviewed said that if her son did this, he should go to jail for a very long time. Makes you think that it could happen anywhere. This is so sad for the family.0

Read an article this morning that showed what is possibly the facebook postings of one of the shooters.
It is possible that this was done to earn some kind of "street cred" for a rapping career.0 -

Nope. I would help you.0 -
obviously he was profiling them just like zimmerman. People don't just attack for no reason.
Aaaand this is going to go downhill quickly0
