School Shooting In Ohio

[torn asunder]

Gunman Dies, 5 Injured at Ohio School

and i quote...

LeVert, the student, said Coon was a "gothic" who usually wore a trench coat, black boots and a dog collar.

which explains it all, ya know, cuz we're all CRAAAAAZYYYYYY!!!!

[Destroit]

Oh dear god...not again. It's like everytime some crazy "goth" kid shoots up something...it takes forever for the stigma to go away for the rest of us. Be prepared to be harassed again everyone! (Again, meaning we got it DAMN bad after Columbine, fuck, they even suspended me like 8 times for wearing my trenchcoat in highschool after that)

Crank, buddy, I'd like to believe you, but much like when Granholm got elected twice I'll have to say: "yeah, that's what I said the last five times it happened"

[Der Nister]

That's fucked up.

[Winter Steele]

Every time some psycho nut job who is more Emo than true Goth shoots and kills people in a school and himself we have a hard time getting rid of the stigma and stereo- types.

Maybe there should be a sticker that can be bought... "No, really, I just like the fashion! I'm well adjusted!", with like, a puppy on it, or something...

That would be funny but somehow I dont think that it would help with the stereotypes and stigmas that people think that they just have to have.

Myself, I dont believe that they even had to put that kind of information in the report..it didnt change the course of events.

Its too bad that children think that they have to resort to this.

Ive said it before and Ill keep sayin it, regardless of social class, the american citizen has lost his or her coping mechanism and is flipping out......who cares what class was represented? I only care about the writing on the wall...

[ttogreh]

You know, I disagree with that. We live in a nation with 80 million KNOWN gun owners, and 200 million KNOWN firearms.

More people die on our highways. In the most armed nation on the face of the earth, a Cadillac Escalade is statistically more dangerous than a 12 gauge shotgun.

News is news because it is novel. We are talking about this shooting because it is unusual.

[Head Wreck]

thats odd... cos whenever i go shooting people my clothing of choice is DPM

[Fierce Critter]

I just got my hair dyed black & red.

Any advice/suggestions where I should buy the gun?

I blame the media in part. Look at all the coverage they gave Cho after V-Tech. He got what he wanted; they turned him into a celebrity. While most normal people see Cho as a monster, to those troubled souls who can empathize with him the media reports made him look like a hero. Even people who are a few crayons short of the 8 box let alone the 120 know that movies are fiction. But news reports are real life events and its from these that these kids get their inspiration.

I like the gun-grabbers' argument of, "If it saves just one child, it's worth it." Well, statistically, more children drown in a 5-gallon plastic bucket of water per year than accidental deaths by firearms.

Fox News Sucks

Fox News Sucks

FGUCK COX NEWES!! BVILL TRAKES IT IN YHE AAAASSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Slept with ghost]

Eh I say give it a little bit more time the the whole school shooting thing will become to much of a trend for any self respecting goth kid to do it.

[AntiHero]

Holy hell. Because of this little shit-bag and his sweat-hog of a mother I now have to hear these anti-gun, anti-video game, and anti-media retards for weeks on end.

A couple things for the media to research before spewing shit and calling it gospel:

An assault rifle is a carbine sized individual weapon with provision to be fired from a shouldered position.

Barrel length is usually 400 mm to 500 mm (16” to 20”)

* Is capable of selective fire.

* Fires from a locked breech.

* Utilizes an intermediate powered-cartridge.

* Ammunition is supplied from a large capacity detachable box magazine.

To simplify Intermediate powered-cartridge, assault rifles fire an intermediate cartridge which falls between a conventional pistol cartridge (9mm, .45, .32, .40S&W) and a full power rifle cartridge (.308 win, .30-06, 8mm Mauser, 7.62x54R) in terms of muzzle velocity, kinetic energy, and effective range. So a 9mm carbine is not a damned assault rifle, Grandpa's old war relic M1 Garand or a semi automatic uzi are not assault rifles!

Additionally. Games like Doom, Grand Theft Auto, Halo, and Arma are not turning millions of children into killers. If that were the case the U.S. alone would most likely rival South Africa and South America in the yearly production on child killing machines. This also does not include Europe, and anywhere else in the world these games are distributed. Don't shit on the media or the gaming industry or because a fraction of a percent of the population is malfucntioning.

Finally Why didn't someone take this shit seriously? The signs were clearly there before those faggots Sung We Cho, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris pulled this sorry shit. Apparently thew where there this time. When some jackass tries to get some strange hoagie in an airport bathroom, or media darling whore is seen without panties society is glued to the television, but when some fucked up children are threatening the lives of peers and property. Slow down! Paris Hilton did what now?

What the Hell?

Finally Why didn't someone take this shit seriously?

Because that would have required adult intervention into children's lives - and there are too many things like lawsuits happening these days that make it nearly impossible for that to happen.

Because parents are too uninvolved in their kids' lives these days to see what's really happening.

Because some parents are truly clueless, and wouldn't know a problem child from a baboon.

Because due to the above and more, children/teens have no fear of adults the way I did when I was growing up. If I threw a rock at a tin can and an old man down the street said, "Hey, kid! Knock that off or I'll tell your father!" I about shit my pants out of fear of being "in trouble." And my parents weren't even abusive. It was just understood that adults are "in charge" and - short of strangers who we were taught to be wary of - they were to be respected.

There is no respect from kids these days. And not enough respect for kids from responsible adults.

It's way too much of a "hands off" society.

Tottally f**king Cool I WANT ONE NOW !

[Homicidalheathen]

I still like trench coats.

Wait... didn't you just stereotype emo kids?

we've had over 25 american school shootings since columbine.

and of those firearms you've listed, very few crimes are committed by registered firearms owners.

we have a social ill. a growing trend. were hunting children now, call it what it is....

beautifully stated Camille, and chillingly spot on.

I would only add that we alos have a far less reverance for life in general when it comes to our fellow humans.
