By now most have probably heard of the school shooting in Conneticut. Please keep them all in your thoughts and Prayers. No need to make any comments here, just to be sympathetic to the families involved.
As the tragedy unfolds it is hard to grasp the magnitude, so many young children and their teachers that will not see tomorrow. My prayers go out to the families, it is hard to fathom how they will cope with the event, now and the years to come. Jerry
Lot of Children could have even worse. Teachers rushing them in bath rooms,etc. But to see our President crying made me even cry harder. Way Too many of these shootings.Lot of prayers for family.
Quietly keeping my prayers and thoughts with everyone affected by this tragedy. Such a sad and wasteful thing.
Yes, we need to keep the families in our prayers and thoughts. How they will cope with their losses, I do not know.
Good thoughts are needed now, they provide more healing and help than doubts and questions. They will cope as millions have done before them in similar situations... with the help of family, friends, professionals and the Diety of their choice. To do otherwise would mean the B*****d wins.
Thinking of the families of those who died so tragically in the hope that they can, in time, come to terms with their losses.
I will never understand what makes someone do something like this. What makes them so full of hate and anger. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the familys dealing with so much pain.
The news out of Connecticut is the saddest, most horrible thing I have ever heard. My thoughts and prayers are with those families today.
I just don't know what to say....this is so awful. Heartfelt condolences to the American people who no doubt, ALL suffer in one way or another from this most recent senseless use of a firearm in public. I am wishing you the strength to get through this time of great sorrow and confusion.
I know the shooting will be main prayer at many churches Way too many. Need to bring our young ones back to the Lord.
I believe Morgan Freeman may have the best response to the shooting, and on the best way to prevent tragedies like this in the future. ( photo / image / picture from Evil Roy's Garden ) Why did the Connecticut shooting take place? It's because of the way the media reports it, flip on the news and watch how we treat the Batman theater shooter and the Oregon mall shooter like celebrities. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are household names, but do you know the name of a single *victim* of Columbine? Disturbed people who would otherwise just off themselves in their basements see the news and want to top it by doing something worse, and going out in a memorable way. Why a grade school? Why children? Because he'll be remembered as a horrible monster, instead of a sad nobody. CNN's article says that if the body count "holds up", this will rank as the second deadliest shooting behind Virginia Tech, as if statistics somehow make one shooting worse than another. Then they post a video interview of third-graders for all the details of what they saw and heard while the shootings were happening. Fox News has plastered the killer's face on all their reports for hours. Any articles or news stories yet that focus on the victims and ignore the killer's identity? None that I've seen yet. Because they don't sell. So congratulations, sensationalist media, you've just lit the fire for someone to top this and knock off a day care center or a maternity ward next. You can help by forgetting you ever read this man's name, and remembering the name of at least one victim. You can help by donating to mental health research instead of pointing to gun control as the problem. You can help by turning off the news.
