Title: school shootings
Post by: walkonby on October 03, 2006, 02:34:00 pm
the last two school shootings were from adult males who were obsessed with molesting young girls, and targeted the schools because they wanted to have some of that young female booty.
 
 thank god and baby jesus that gay people can't adopt or get married.  kill all gay people.

I believe this was meant to be sarcasm, illustrating how ridiculous it is to believe that homosexuality is the problem with American sexual culture.

what the fuck is the matter with these fucking asshole losers going around and shooting up schools and the people in them?  does this ever happen in other western countries?

I'm not claiming that homosexual culture doesn't have problems of its own.  But I think its more than a bit important to recognize that there are comparable problems on both sides of the sexuality spectrum - one side is no worse or better than the other.

No one deserves this, I'm just sick of some of the media coverage.  They treat the Amish as if they are  ignorant of the outside world rather than people who just choose to separate themselves from it.  I actually heard a reporter comment that they probably didn't know what a helicopter was.

Gov. Ed Rendell actually addressed this.  He said that while gun control is important, no measures could have prevented this guy from getting the guns he used.  He had no criminal history, and no documented history of mental illness.  The handgun he used was purchased legally.

That's the problem: we don't have real gun control. Real gun control would mean you couldn't buy anything other than a plain fire-once-and-then-have-to-reload hunting rifle, with no scope on it. Anything else should only be sold to law enforcement.

Point taken. However, the chances of taking ALL handguns out of circulation at this point in time just ain't gonna happen.Guess which segment of society would then have the majority of them? Not a pretty picture from this view. Sounds great in theory though.

He still would've got to them if he wanted.The location would just be different.The mall, or in this case maybe a barn razing or some wild Rumspringa event. You are on to something though, bad parenting is a big reason some end up killers.That,along with untreated mental illness and  greed of course, are probably a huge percentage of why these things happen.

No, that would negate the definition of 'criminal'.  I'm talking about getting rid of the supply so they have no choice

It'd be a slow but sure process. Every arrest of a criminal with a gun would be another one out of circulation.  That makes the black market value of the remaining ones soar and the criminals start killing each other to get them- a nice side effect. You also do buybacks. You monitor the production/distribution chain to make sure new ones aren't getting sold

Thank you.  And frankly, that's scary.  Anyone can background check out just fine and still go buy a gun and kill someone they really don't like.  Guns make it way too easy.
 
 It might not stop the hardcore crazies from killing other people, but it would make this shit a lot less frequent and more difficult to pull off.  Look at most of the people involved in shootings; The handguns are almost ALWAYS purchased illegally.  And we can't teach a whole country that killing is wrong by offering handguns in a fairly accessible environment...

Everybody is talking about gun control. Got to control the guns. Fuck, that, I like guns. If you've got a gun, you don't need to work out! Cause, I ain't working out. I ain't jogging. No, I think we need some bullet control. I think every bullet should cost five thousand dollars. Five thousand dollars for a bullet. Know why? Cos if a bullet cost five thousand dollars, there'd be no more innocent by-standers. That'd be it. Some guy'd be shot you'd be all 'Damn, he must've done something, he's got fifty thousand dollars worth of bullets in his ass!' And people'd think before they shot someone 'Man I will blow your fucking head off, if I could afford it. I'm gonna get me a second job, start saving up, and you a dead man. You'd better hope I don't get no bullets on lay-away!' And even if you get shot you wouldn't need to go to the emergency room. Whoever shot you'd take their bullet back. 'I believe you got my property!?'

Thank you!!!
 
 We live in a really violent society. Take away all the guns and sure, there'll be a drop in murder rates but I bet it won't last forever. Before long people will be chopping each other to bits, or running them over with their cars, or whatever. And I don't think it's the fault of video games or tv or movies that we're so friggin violent. There's a lot of other contributing factors, including how pathetically low the rate of homicides that actually get solved is. And how a lot of kids grow up without any discipline these days.
 
 I don't know how to fix it.  All I know is, take away the guns, and you'll end up with a bunch of really creative killers out there.
 
 PS this guy who shot up the Amish school was a total nut-bag and if he hadn't had guns, he'd just have found another way to kill all those kids.

Don't blame it on video games or today's culture, society's always been violent, we just have mass communications that spread the images and info much faster so we are more aware of it than ever before.  Check out Karen Halttunen's book "Murder Most Foul"--19th century America was pretty vicious, just take into account all the lynchings.

i have no solutions for what happened in PA to a group of innocents.  i don't think there are any solutions because this country is sick.  sick as a shithouse rat.  i know the following is not an exhaustive list of the reasons that have made this country THE nuttiest nutbag western country (it's the greatest country on earth motherfucker, and if you don't like it the way it is, then get the fuck out you fucking francophile) but it's a start:
 
 the media and its consolidation
 9/11
 george W, dick cheney, rumsfeld, condi, wolfowitz, hadley, richard perle, douglas feith, etc.
 neocons generally
 fast food
 bad beer
 television generally
 celebrity worship
 mtv
 saturday night live anymore
 this GOP led house
 this GOP led senate
 most pop music
 girls gone wild
 the war on drugs
 the military industrial complex
 the university industrial complex
 the prison industrial complex
 the death penalty as applied
 35% marginal rates on the nation's highest income earners
 real estate gone wild
 the nra
 people who don't read a goddamned thing
 terrorism
 iraq
 wall street's "numbers"
 paris hilton
 pro wrestling
 the pharmaceutical industry
 jerry falwell, etc.
 extreme partisans from "both" sides dictating its respective party's politics
 the committee system in congress
 no 3rd or 4th or 5th party to speak of
 al gore being a wooden fuck until 2003 or so
 reality fucking tv
 hannity & colmes
 bill o'reilly
 fox "news" generally
 "red" counties and states
 dateline nbc
 meet the tim
 the general level of discourse in the US
 bill frist, rick santorum, denny hastert (the enabler), john boehner, etc.
 wedge issues
 
 the fact that i can probably go out and get a gun quicker than i can get a washing machine delivered to my place.
 
 an american's "god given" and "constitutional" right to buy a pile of guns at wal-mart and elsewhere, solely owing to the fact that one has no criminal record, which can, in turn, be unloaded to any old ne'er-do-well.  or better yet, that same individual can go shoot up some school and its students whenever that fucking piece of fucking shit might feel like "cracking."  most others can do so as well.
 
 cheers.

Gun rights advocates are fucking nuts.  Sure, people will still kill without guns.  But it will be a lot harder, they will kill fewer people, and it will be easier to kill them before they kill.
 
 There are two types of gun nuts -- the type who just love their guns so much they sleep with them; and the extreme libertarians who entertain fantasies about defending themselves against government storm troopers and cling to an ideology as ossified as Communism.  Both types are idiots.

Yup, and if David Koresh hadn't been able to arm himself and his apocalyptic child molestation cult to the teeth, Waco would've been a quiet surrender with nobody killed.

Or maybe if the ATF had just arrested Koresh on one of his many trips into town instead of attempting some macho display of power on his compound and shooting themselves with their own weapons...

If Koresh had been a Moslem then everyone would still be alive and the mosque still standing.  In fact, they would have had many new converts.

And there are dreamers that think that hand to hand combat, prayer, singing "Stop in the name of love" or a big hug will stop a perpetrator bent on getting what they want.

That's the problem: we don't have real gun control. Real gun control would mean you couldn't buy anything other than a plain fire-once-and-then-have-to-reload hunting rifle, with no scope on it. Anything else should only be sold to law enforcement. [/b]
HAHAHAHAHAHA
 OK.
 Because law enforcement are ordained by god himself and can protect me at a moments notice.

I assume the reason you're referring to is the Government's view  that trying to set up a molestation-and-abuse-based independent state with a private army is unlawful?

Okay, but explain why people in the middle of nowhere PA or the manager of produce of Food Lion (Chantilly boy story earlier this year) need a machine gun?

Wis. lawmaker wants teachers to carry guns
 He cites Israel, Thailand; school official says problems are not that bad
 
 â?¢ Should teachers be armed?
 
 Updated: 1:51 p.m. ET Oct 5, 2006
 MADISON, Wis. - In the wake of school shootings in Wisconsin, Colorado and Pennsylvania during the last two weeks, a state legislator says he plans to introduce legislation that would allow teachers, principals, administrators and other school personnel to carry concealed weapons.
 
 Rep. Frank Lasee, a Republican, said Wednesday that, while his idea may not be politically correct, it has worked effectively in other countries.

Remington Arms agreed today to pay $73 MILLION to the families of five adults and four children killed in the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School. This is the FIRST time a gun manufacturer has been held liable for a mass shooting in the U.S.

I still consider Sandy Hook one of America’s low points as a nation. The fact we as a nation did nothing after that…just wow…


Glad there is some very limited accountability at least
