[DanDanInc 5]

My thoughts and prayers go out to the friends and families of the shooting that just happened in CT.

If anyone here knows anyone in or around the Newtown area please tell them you love them.

It's already there. Hopefully this thread will talk about feelings, not politics.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Care to share your ideas?

Let's NOT turn this into a discussion about gun laws either.

It's not increasing actually...just more media coverage makes it seem that way.

This madness will continue until Americans update their attitudes towards guns.
The Canadian model - for gun laws - may not be perfect, but we have fewer mass shootings and mostly limit the gun-fire to killing drug dealers one at a time.

How's that drug war working for you?

Apparently people can't keep guns out of the discussion in the forum, so this thread is locked.

I'm going to reopen this thread because I know some people really want to talk about this. Do NOT use this thread to argue about gun politics; there are two threads in Speaker's Corner if you want to do that.

It really feels like there should be something we could do to gently nudge crazy people toward just killing themselves without dragging the rest of us into it.

I think they'll go where the attention is. So perhaps less media coverage of events like these and more media coverage of autoerotic asphyxiation "accidents." Plus that would boost the economy as sales of Batman costumes would skyrocket. Hmm...

I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

While there is a larger amount of news hours to be filled each day and the reportage is higher than it was 40 years ago, so are the number of incidents.

If you want to say these killings aren't increasing, I suppose that is your prerogative based on cherry picked start/stop dates, but the fact is, yes, they have increased if you look at US history over the last century.

Here's where they've happened.

in particular, look at the timeline on page 2 of the article.

My heart goes out to those families whose lives have been shattered by the latest visitation of evil. I hope they know the entire nation mourns their loss.

To anyone out there contemplating such a horrible act, and I don't think anyone on DZ.com would, please get help. There's something wrong in your head.

I don't think you can leave it to the mentally ill to self-diagnose. Their family and friends need to intervene.

I'm sure you're right on that, John. It was just a hope.

"It was just a nice, normal family," neighbor Rhonda Cullen said Saturday, recalling a recurring neighborhood ladies night over the Bunco dice game.

So do we start reporting nice, quiet, keep to themselves families?

Man....how do we see this stuff coming? A lot of families have hunting rifles.

Deepes condolences to families and friends.

As a father of two, I deeply mourn with you.
