    May I request a prayer?

    May each in your own way say a prayer for those poor people in Newtown, Conn. If you hadn't heard there was a shooting at an elementry school there with several dead. As a father of five I cannot even begin to imagine the loss.

    If it wasn't for the $ in $crap, it would just be.....

    That is so very sad to hear about. What is wrong with people?

    be interesting to know if all these young shooters are shooting gamers. Im not saying all gamers are would be shooters but, are all shooters gamers. just a thought.

    it takes a really off tilt coward to go shoot kids. it hapned in Sacramento ca years ago and resulted in the first gun ban.

    it teachers were allowed to be armed would 30 kids be dead ?

    every one of these shootings take place in areas where guns are banned.

    I don't know what's causing it but there seems to be an ever increasing devaluation of human life. It's both sickening and saddening.

    You may and granted. 27 dead as of last update, 18 children no less. Sad sad sad, just really no words for it all.

    Far as blaming shooting games, videos, movies, music, whatnot...lets face it some folks are crazy. Ban the video games and whatnot and it will still happen. It'd be nice to think we could end such evil acts with such simple things, but you know as well as I do...ban all the games, or whatever people are blaming, which will next be guns..and they will still do the deeds.

    Anyhow, prayers and thoughts to all in Conn. If ya got children, or even loved ones, give'm a hug or lest call'm and let'm know folks. Just senseless all this crazy stuff.

    how could this guy be buzzed into a locked school in full camo and tactacle gear, including 4 guns at least one of which was an "assult" rifle. something is definately not right here.

    This has me in a bad place right about now. My mother was a teacher and was killed in a crash back in '91 when a reckless driver lost control of his tractor trailer. Shoot your own mother? It's a good thing this guy is dead, or I'd be sending a lawyer to request the scumbag be put in my custody. Just for one day.

    Rusty.....thank you for starting this thread. I've prayed for them already, but just did again. It is going to be a long time before the families ever get anywhere near normal. The kids who didn't get hurt need prayer too. It's such a loss and it saddens me.

    People have always been capable of horrendous acts. The only way to stop things like this from happening is for everyone to turn to God. I know that won't happen, but the world would sure be a better place to live.

    Sad, sad ,sad....how can anyone, no matter how screwed up they are, kill 20 innocent children like that. I have seen first hand how cruel people can be to others but this goes beyond anything i could have imagined. My thoughts and prayers are with all those families today and with those officers who have to process that crime scene.

    I live about 45 min. from newtown and never woulda though anything like this happening here. You hear about it all over the place and think that its soo far away but then when it comes this close to you it seems to hit you harder. My ptayers and thoughts go out to all those who were hirt during this incident.

    I just heard that he shot thru the locked door to shatter the glass to make entry, he went there to make history, nothing else.
