Reasonable people don't think this is a reasonable option. That's why only unreasonable, unstable people do something like this.Thirty Bills Unpaid said:Where is the resilience in people?
Why, when facing a personal struggle, do people feel that this is a reasonable option?
How have people lost the will to fight through the tough times instead of giving up like this pathetic piece of s**t?

I believe she wasn't hurt and we can be thankful for that... but imagine what she's going through right now.

Wait, the guy made complaints that the reports about him to HR were racially motivated, and he called the reporter a racist.... so how is racism not an issue here?Cliffy6745 said:

No, I haven't had k e thought of this being anything about racism. It appears to be about a disgruntled employee.

but I understand, while we are all saying how sad this news is it just does not feel good to bring up racism or even gun control.

Yes. And how do people reach this state of mind? How have we not prepared people to deal with adversity in some productive manner... let alone respect others and have even the most remote levels of empathy?PJ_Soul said:

home made bombs, knives, poison even thier bare hands, there are many ways to kill and getting rid of guns in the US would only create a black market for weapons and home made weapons then you would have more criminals with guns than good people, the number of unregistered guns in the US must be in the millions and that on top of the registered gun owners, you seem to think of yourself as an intelligent person..how easy is it make a gun in your work shop ? with a piece of pipe ?, before shell style rounds it was black powder and a lead ball shot out of a piece of pipe, we have bow and arrow, crossbows, spears and things as simple as a sharp stick, this is America and this country and it's people will never give up our guns no matter how much none gun owners snivle and cry, but I think you know that.Cliffy6745 said:

So why are there not regular mass killing throughout other civilized countries at the hands of poison, knives or bare hands? If Adam Lanza went into Sandy Hook with a knife do you reckon there would be 26 dead people including 20 childrenGodfather. said:

I am pretty pretty pretty sure people would not be making bombs at the rate of multiple mass shootings a month.
It is literally uneducated dispshits in this country with that idiotic mentality that you outline above that is literally the cause of 20 children being murdered. I partially fault people like you for 20 children being murdered and people losing family members todayPost edited by Cliffy6745 on0 -

Evidently this guy felt like he had been "wronged" in some way, and it was indeed at least to some extent, racially motivated.
This may have been a turning point for me personally. I have always felt that people should have the right to own a gun for protection or hunting. I still believe that...but damn...something has to be done to get them out of the hands of the whack jobs. There has to be a balance attained, and I have no freaking clue how that could come about. Eliminating them altogether seems impossible. No matter what the gun laws are, there will always be the criminal element that will happily go on a free range shooting spree whenever they feel like it (Chicago).
I just feel as a species we are dumber, more drugged up, and crazier than I think we've ever been. And that's taking into account the fucked up shit we did back in medieval times. I don't wear a tinfoil hat, but dammit, something has changed in us over the last 25 years or so. I don't know if it's in the food, the overabundance of prescribed anti-psychotics, or something in the water...but something is destroying us from the inside mentally.0 -
