There are times like that indeed, but these things also happen in our sublime westren culture.Oh really? And can you give any recent examples of when that's happened in our "sublime westren culture"?
The reason people acted like this is because its not everyday people get shot up in America.It's every second day.
It's every second day.Thank you for your correction
I'll tell you whats bullshit the fact that on the same day as the shootings over 200 iraqis died in car bombings at once yet there was no news coverageThat was in the news... I remember seeing all the charred vehicles all piled up.
The whole "bring it home" thing is pretty much why I am concerned about trying to combat Terrorism. There are people out there, radical brainwashed people who have destroyed and twisted Islam, who want to kill me. The fact is, as an American, they want me to die. I don't appriciate it when someone wants to murder me, or wish harm on me, and it does bring a whole new sense of awareness to me.That's why you should always be scared of terrorists trying to murder everyone. Don't forget to buy safety-kits such as parachutes for jumping out of skyscrapers, or home-use radiation suits. Watch out!

Lots of people die every day, not everybody is going to make a headline, but usually, when a school gets shot up that makes front page news because schools are factories for tomorrows workers, blue or white collar, it doesn't matter.I doubt it'll make anyone reconsider gun laws; there's the whole bullshit with the second amendment and all. Then again, our administration has already shown little regard to constitutional rights so any changes that are unconstitutional wouldn't be suprising in the slightest.
Perhaps this will urge the US to reconsider it's gun laws.
