School shooting this morning

[Binky]

So now its a rifle? Earlier reports were two 9mm handguns (glock and a sig sauer) with an AR in the car outside.

cliff notes
-Lanza blasted his way into the building and used a high-power rifle..

-official said Lanza had "lots of ammo" on him when he died, enough to carry out significant additional carnage

-"We surmise that it was during the second classroom episode that he heard responders coming and apparently at that, decided to take his own life,"

-All the victims at the school were shot with a rifle, at least some of them up close, and all were apparently shot more than once, Chief Medical Examiner Dr. H. Wayne Carver said. There were as many as 11 shots on the bodies he examined. Lanza died of a gunshot wound to the head that was self-inflicted, the medical examiner said Sunday.

-Education officials said they had found no link between Lanza's mother and the school, contrary to news reports that said she was a teacher there. Investigators said they believe Adam Lanza attended Sandy Hook many years ago, but they had no explanation for why he went there Friday.

WTF

fuckin dicks

A monsignor at St. Rose of Lima Roman Catholic Church in Connecticut said a telephone caller told him, “I’m coming to kill, I’m coming to kill.”

The Newtown church had been the site of ongoing vigils after the Friday morning massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

The New York Times reported on the threat from a live stream from Ora.TV.

The church was evacuated during Sunday Mass after it received a bomb threat.

It is unclear whether there was another threat, aside from the caller, that spurred the evacuation.

Police gave the "all clear" sign at the church shortly after the evacuation, according to NBC News.

I see a prepping ban in the works!

The government already considers someone with more than two weeks worth of food a terrorist.

Unfortunately there will be many more like this...will only get worse. There was an attempted mass shooting on Saturday at a hospital and a thwarted attempt out west (close to Aurora or Columbine?) with an arrest this weekend. With the press on this one it is scary to think that more like this can come. Weird coincidence that something similar occurred in China (kindergarten) the same day but those kids all survived (knife attack).

RIP to those souls lost.

Several newspapers have speculated that Sandy Hook Elementary School shooter Adam Lanza may have anonymously revealed to the internet what he planned to do. Screenshots purportedly of posts on a 4chan message board show a user intending to kill himself in a way that will make the news on Friday morning, saying only that he lives in Conneticut (sic). The post is accompanied with an uncensored photo of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, the Columbine school killers, after they had committed suicide.

However, the screenshots are unquestionably fakes. Firstly, the timestamp of all posts to 4chan's "/b/" message board includes hours, minutes, and seconds – the last of which is not present in the suspected posts. Secondly and most importantly, individual posts within each 4chan board are incrementally assigned a unique number. The ones supposedly of Lanza are marked as 443521730 and 443522192 and dated Wednesday 12 Dec but, as a Free Republic forum member points out, there is a thread dated Friday 14 whose first message is numbered 443511730 (and is still there as I write this). In other words, Lanza's supposed messages were thousands of posts ahead of a number which had not been reached at the time and had yet to be reached two days later.

My fellow tech blogger Mic Wright has written an excellent post on how tragedy turns social media users into amateur detectives, whose attempts to make sense of it are frequently beginning with Facebook's search feature. But the above shows people's fetish-like interest for finding out about someone infamous is willing take a new turn, inventing the digital footprint of someone sinister if their curiosity can't be satisfied, knowing full well that it will titillate ours, too.

"Be sober and watch: because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour." - 1 Peter 5:8

"Jesus answered, "It says: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'" - Luke 4:12

Ya, don't test Him, like most do on here to try to prove He doesn't exist. Test Him that He holds true to His promises. Test His good, pleasing and perfect will. Test your faith in Him.

Try a little Romans 12:2

I don't think I am going to read the news for a couple weeks, every 5 minutes the story changes.

The story sounds no different than all the others, socially awkward kid, probably on meds, and no one did anything with all the warning signs. Everyone is too worried about being politically correct instead of facing the facts. You can try to modify gun control laws but this is not going to stop until we face the facts.

WRONG; I carry every where except the court house, the airport and into a federal prison when I visit my buddy.

look what I can do!

I still can't even fathom anything remotely appropriate for this tragedy. I saw the pictures of some of the victims and it just brought me to tears.

Just a personal side-note: I belong to an "acoustic guitar" forum. There are a lot of talented people on there, and a guy did a rendition of "Oh. very young", by Cat Stevens, as his tribute to the kids that were killed. Reality sort of hit me, and it was all I could do to keep from crying like a baby.
I've always said that my biggest fear was for a suicide bomber to walk into an elementary school, and pull the pin. For me, this is about that same scenario. What has our society become?
