fecking heartbreaking. Reports coming out are sketchy at the moment and have changed twice since I first read this. Truly sickening.

A woman survived so she will be able to shed some light on the events.Murder-suicide?
It’s only a matter of time until we start hearing more & more of these on a routine basis.
‘If only the woman was armed...’ is the phrase many necks will be beginning with today.A woman survived so she will be able to shed some light on the events.
The article suggests some odd love triangle or maybe a family disagreement. The main shooter is in custody but is not cooperating.
Whatever, 5 poor children yet again caught up in someone else's bullshit.
Probably just crisis actors.How could anyone shoot a kid, truly sickening.
What do you mean by that?Probably just crisis actors.
A cynical swipe at how some influential ‘pundits’ on the right classified those who were involved in the Sandy Hook & Parkland massacres.What do you mean by that?
He's doing a pretty good Marjorie Taylor Green impression.What do you mean by that?
Thought you were on about Sandy Hook just wasn’t sure, poor kids anyhow.A cynical swipe at how some influential ‘pundits’ on the right classified those who were involved in the Sandy Hook & Parkland massacres.

When is the time, though? I’m completely desensitized to it as well. Nothing’s going to move the needle on this regardless if the normal platitudes are delivered or not.This isn't the time.
Kids again ffs.
You shouldn't be desensitised to little children being massacred, no matter how often it happens. This isn't a mass shooting of random strangers, in any case.When is the time, though? I’m completely desensitized to it as well. Nothing’s going to move the needle on this regardless if the normal platitudes are delivered or not.
I agree with you Penna it actually makes me quite sad reading this..You shouldn't be desensitised to little children being massacred, no matter how often it happens. This isn't a mass shooting of random strangers, in any case.
Not now.When is the time, though? I’m completely desensitized to it as well. Nothing’s going to move the needle on this regardless if the normal platitudes are delivered or not.
It’s not as though I don’t have empathy for those involved. This is a legitimate tragedy. I’ve just seen how this will play out politically too many times in my country. The fact that abhorrent behavior like this isn’t adequately dealt with each time is unconscionable.Not now.
And "being desensitised" is not an excuse. You should still and very least have empathy.
And just shrugging your shoulders is going to do what?It’s not as though I don’t have empathy for those involved. This is a legitimate tragedy.

This will unfortunately be just another disappointing statistic at the end of the day.
In many cases, change is something that can come when needed. Unfortunately, this isn’t one of them & hasn’t been for decades. Who knows, the death knell of the NRA might help to break up this lunacy, but when a right prescribed by a piece of paper is routinely discussed as ‘god given’ & is one of the main thrusts of the delusion on the right, we are probably going to see more instances of mass death of children before we don’t.And just shrugging your shoulders is going to do what?
Sorry mate, I'm not trying to dig at you here I get the feeling of powerlessness. But I also hate people saying they are "desensitised" as if that's some excuse for being able to read the news and then just moving on. It's as if the recent fecking mess you lot haven't just found yourself in couldn't be more of an indicator that people can rise up and change the course of your country...
This is gonna be blamed on lockdowns is my guess. The thing that is for sure is guns will be blameless.Standard “More guns” will sort it comment.
Shit got accomplished last election though. People can rise.In many cases, change is something that can come when needed. Unfortunately, this isn’t one of them & hasn’t been for decades.

We’ve had an amazingly barren streak of school shootings, etc. recently, thanks in some part to Covid. But the fetishistic adoring of guns in this country, especially in the uneducated, religious, rural parts, means that uprising against such by sane thinking citizens just isn’t going to do anything. The politicians that represent these mental deficients are just as culpable for instances like this as the trigger pullers are. They allow for this insanity to maintain itself.
We couldn’t get shit accomplished in 2014. We couldn’t get shit accomplished in 2018. This unfortunately won’t accomplish anything. The right will just become further entrenched & emboldened.
We both know the answer to that. Too many.Wonder how many ‘thoughts & prayers’ platitudes have already come from the MTGs of the American political landscape?
Yes, there was some success had politically recently, but when incidents like Sandy Hook & Parkland don’t galvanize the entire political spectrum into doing something effectively to limit or eliminate these atrocities, it’s difficult to envision what will do so.Shit got accomplished last election though. People can rise.
We both know the answer to that. Too many.
This won’t move the public needle one iota, unfortunately.Absolutely horrible. How much coverage will this get in the States though? I thought Sandy Hook would be the big wake up moment but sadly here we are again talking about kids being murdered. I know there's a world of difference but after the shock of Dunblane we had folk lining up to hand in their firearms. It just feels weird that this seems like an alternate reality.
It happened overnight, so a lot of the ‘Breaking News’ aspect was lost due to timing (no clue if it even registered as breaking news last night). But I have not seen anything on MSNBC or CNN since the thread was started (which alerted me to the tragedy). Speaks volumes.Watching the national news right now (ABC World News Tonight) are 2/3 done and have not even mentioned it. Coverage of the 2 FBI agents being killed serving a warrant to a child predator but nothing so far on the Oklahoma shooting. They covered the space x launch issue, Covid problems with the KC Chiefs football team but not a shooting of an entire family.
Yeah, I didn't know about it until this thread as well. It's lost on the CNN website as well (it's on the front page but there are 20 news items above it). Just pathetic how normal this is.It happened overnight, so a lot of the ‘Breaking News’ aspect was lost due to timing (no clue if it even registered as breaking news last night).

Not quite but this one was reached the threshold for being national news worthy I guess.First one of the year?
