School shootings have almost become a sport over there.

Not a school but lightning strikes twice at Fort Hood.

This one used a knife, just for a bit of variety.

You jest, JGK, but the NRA numpties would believe that with every fibre of their ridiculous beings.

Gun control advocates worst nightmare. They're going to need some really good PR people like, by tomorrow.

I wasn't jesting.

I could spin this.

"Imagine if he'd had a gun" or,

"See. Even our incredibly lax gun laws stop some people. Now if only the ACLU would allow us to use gun ownership applications in a selective sterilization program......"

CRAZIES IN VICTORIA TOO

This time it's bombs not guns ... still madness.

MORE INNOCENTS DIE BECAUSE OF STUPID US GUN LAWS

Sheriff Brown said, describing the shooting as "obviously the work of a madman".

Says it all really.

the kids problems seem less about illness and more about psychopathy

by lardbucket Mon May 26, 2014 5:26 pm

or even sociopathy

one report stated that he had Asperger's; in other words, he was a nerdy inadequate guy with zero social skills who felt much more powerful and adequate with a gun in his hand

by horace Mon May 26, 2014 5:28 pm

aye...heard the bloke's dad on the radio, blaming absence of gun control

by lardbucket Mon May 26, 2014 5:29 pm

I think that was the father of one of the victims - at least in the interview I heard.

by JGK Mon May 26, 2014 5:30 pm

The boys father was the associate director of the "The Hunger Games" which depicts graphic violence against young adults.

by lardbucket Mon May 26, 2014 5:31 pm

yes, I heard that ... did Jennifer Thingy turn the boy down?

by tricycle Mon May 26, 2014 5:32 pm

It's a shit film. Must've been being associated with it...

If so, he'd be the first one apparently*.

Amazed he didn't visit a prostitute to solve his virginity problems. Apparently he had it in for blonde, stuck-up ******.

Clearly he wasn't worried about breaking the law or being remembered as a freak.

Anyway, it's all too likely a scenario in a society where guns are freely available and there is relatively little money spent on mental health.

didn't have any money left after he'd bought the BMW and guns

by lardbucket Mon May 26, 2014 6:58 pm

I'm beginning to think that all these Americans arguing that their incredibly high per capita gun murder rate is not due to the ready availability of guns may be right ... it may actually be, as I think they contend, because Americans ARE more stupid and violent than all other peoples; and the ready availability of guns is just a confounding factor. Looking forward to running this alternative explanation past a few of them.
