He's not making light of the situation. It's a valid point all things considered, though.Originally posted by CJ View PostClassy.Originally posted by PGreenCobraI can't get over the fact that you get to go live the rest of your life, knowing that someone made a Halloween costume out of you.

This is a sick, sad world we're raising our children in these days. I remember talking to my 5-year old daughter about why someone would want to fly planes into buildings on 9/11. 5 years old...damn.

I see using tragedy as an opportunity to question religion and finding humor in it as pretty crass.Originally posted by DON SVO View PostHe's not making light of the situation.

I'm a bit late, but as a nutcase, I can kind of throw out a possibility.Originally posted by 2165 Turbo Rail View PostSo they found the Mom at home dead.. and then he went in to kill the people at the school.... makes no sense at all... it would make a little more sense if he went to kill her at school and killed everyone else but why the hell go there if he killed her at home
freakin weird
He was pissed at his mother and killed her. That wasn't enough however. As a teacher, odds are, she was very attached to her students and cared for them. He'd probably heard quite a few stories about her students and thought "It's not enough she's dead, I want to destroy everything she's done."
Students are something she's done. She left part of herself in them, thus hitting them kind of make sense.I wear a Fez. Fez-es are cool

I wonder if the shooter went to school there when he was younger. Maybe with his mental issues he felt like he was wronged there as a child and felt the need to get some sort of retribution on the people and kids that were there. Also why wasn’t his mother at school working today? Did he kill her before she normally would have left for school? Was she having some sort of dispute with the school herself and he felt the need to go there and make a point?

The last bit is an interesting thought. But, really I almost find trying to rationalize it upsetting. There is no explanation. It's like trying to complete a crossword in a different language.Originally posted by cyclonescott View PostI wonder if the shooter went to school there when he was younger.

RIP to the innocent victims, i hate that this site is so negative to turn it on a liberal/obama/gun control twist, when this is on of the most tragic events to happen in our lifetimes. I was holed up in the chemical plant all day and knew nothing about this until about 6pm when my wife called my crying. of course i didnt get on any news sites bc i knew it would be discussed here, i forgot though that on the first page the thread would derail into what makes dfwmustangs, well, dfwmustangs.

God is still allowed in school. Schools still do a moment of silence where they can pray or meditate or just chill for a minute. They can still say "under god" when they say the pledge.Originally posted by VETTKLR View PostLast I heard, God wasn't allowed in schools anymore.
