Newtown
CNN – There’s been a mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. We’re told “close to 20″ people are dead, including at least 10 children; the shooter is also dead.
Everything’s always gotta be about something else. Can’t anything just be about the victims and the situation at hand even for a little bit? Twitter is wild right now. Anti-gun people flipping out using this shooting as an example of why we should ban certain weapons. Pro-gun people flipping out threatening to shoot the President if he uses this situation as a reason to increase gun control. People are so fucking selfish it’s unbelievable. Shut the hell up, everyone. Dozens of people — many of them children — were just murdered in cold blood. Fuck your opinions.
I can’t imagine what those parents are going through right now.
Amen!! think of the children and stFU!!
couldn’t agree more. good job Mo
Takes a real strong guy to go murder a bunch of children in a fucking school. I don’t consider myself a religious person but I hope this guy/guys burn in hell for the rest of eternity.
Perfectly said Mo
what the fuck are people going to talk about? better locks on school doors?
well said Mo
Amen. Pray for those parents and kids
first good blog of your career.
agreed
what kind of fucked up world do we live in?
I’m volunteering for hell just so I can kill this savage on my own terms.
No amount of hell could give that fucker any justice. rather see him suffer here on earth
There has to be a special place in hell for people who prey on or end the lives of children. Forget about the gun laws, our laws should allow parents of these victims to send these scumbags straight to the gates of hell if they choose. I pray that someday these families find some semblance of peace with this. . .
the best we can do now is go take a steaming shit wherever his body gets put into the ground
well done….people take an absolute tragedy and use it prove their view points right….these are little kids were talking about her, murdered…..pray for the families and hopefully this piece of shit is burning nice and toasty in hell
In these days it makes you realize how precious life is. To worry about the day to day bullshit and this happens……just makes you think now how little our personal problems are compared to these poor people who lost their children. My prayers are with them all.
Spare me the righteousness. If this situation doesn’t make you question our gun laws then you are a total fool. How many more mass killing need to take place before we do something? Seriously, 20 kids were murdered, if people are not instantly looking for solutions then we would have an even bigger problem. You self righteous simpletons piss me off. Go pat yourselves on the back for mourning, the rest of us will seek solutions.
worst part is all the kids who survived this will be haunted for life. What a fuckin horrible day
I was reading the hartford courant online when it first happened for updates, first comment in the article was “LIBERALS ARE AT FAULT FOR THIS” and it got 120 likes, what is wrong with this country
Suckfarts, there’s a time and a place for everything and now is not the time to raise your political points.
This is the most well written blog ever to hit barstool. Perfectly said. RIP
Suckfarts, take a minute to ask yourself why America’s schools seem to be targeted so frequently for shootings…because schools in the US are almost guaranteed to be “gun free” and cowards don’t like being shot back at; that’s why.
Well said.
I am not political at all, I just am angry and cannot take this anymore. Sure most of the folks preaching their views on guns are biased and agenda driven. I just believe that the truest means to mourning these folks is to ensure it doesn’t happen again. I believe it is righteous and egoic to pull this “people need to just mourn right now”, it does very little but make you feel better. No….people in fact do need to express themselves. If you want to mourn, fine, but I support anyone who right now simply stands up and says we need to start having a real dialogue on guns. I am not advocating that folks need to get on their high horse on a pro-gun anti-gun agenda, but asking for change is a normal and justified response.
and btw I am a gun owner.
Suckfarts, I hear you and respect your view. I’d just leave it for another day and suggest that both anti-gun and pro-gun people are outraged by this and the other tragedies that have taken place recently. What’s the answer? I don’t know, but I do know that anyone who is deranged enough to kill innocent children will do it with a gun, grenade, knife or by lighting a school on fire. The means by which they choose to execute the innocent isn’t the real issue.
what are you talking about this is EXACTLY the time to address these issues
that blog reeked of pretentious self-righteousness
Kots, this may not be the time or place but I do think guns elevate an individual’s insanity level and provides them with an added feeling of control and power, which can increase the potential for this sort of cowardly act. I am just so angry, every parent and child in America now has to live with added fear.
Let’s agree that there’s a big issue here and share in each other’s anger and empathy. I wish I had the answer.
i get it, but for EVERY SINGLE gun related incident all we hear is “now is not the time.” Well if this doesn’t push people to open their eyes i dont know what will. Hug your kids tight today for the stoolies that have them.
Switzerland – deemed ‘safest place on earth’, ranked highest amount of guns per person.
bossman every person in switzerland has to spend time in the military apples to oranges
Lies.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_guns_per_capita_by_country
I don’t give a dam about any stats BTW, I know what I see and the fact is that we are seeing 4-5 massacres a year in this country. Something needs to change.
I stand by everything I said here and hope the folks in CT can find some peace.
Show some respect. Have your gun debate tomorrow people don’t need to hear any more of this today
i am pro gun rights & carry daily. my wife is a teacher & i would feel safer for her if she could carry at work but i would not necessarily feel safer for my children if i knew their teachers were carrying. it really doesnt make sense. there is no easy answer… i pray for the victims both alive & dead.
Sadly, tomorrow someone will also say “It’s too soon”. And the same on the following day. There will always be someone or some group who thinks it is the wrong time to talk about such things. In the end, it is a dark day today. This guy took away everything these kids were ever going to be.
cbreslin – country
ct4now – you are exactly the problem
FUCKING COWARD! HE SHOULD OF STAYED HOME AND KILLED HIMSELF TO SPARE US OF HIS PATHETIC SELF
yeah ct4now, that’s just what we need. More fucking people armed. Jesus Christ
I live one town over so my twitter is BLOWING up with stupid fuckhead liberals fighting about gun laws. Honestly wanna kick every single on of their teeth in, Connecticut is in a surreal shock and I’m waiting for my 8 year old brother to get off the bus so I can give him the biggest hug of my life.
Suckfarts shut the fuck up. You are a pussy of the biggest kind, what a little fucking weasel you are. Mo, great blog dude, i agree 100%.
this picture is OD… take it off the blog my man
couldn’t have said it better myself
sucksfarts It makes no difference how valid your points may be. When you say them in the angry, pompous, holier than thou way that you are after a tragedy like this you are going to look like an asshole of the thirtieth degree.
Nothing political about searching for a solution to the problem of rampant mass-murders. If roads were collapsing or a plague spreading, killing dozens, would we not immediately search for a solution? Unfortunately the only time people will seek information or take action is directly after a tragedy. The people who really care about these kids and this tragedy are those that use this time to take action. Everyone else will offer internet sympathy and go back to being racist/ignorant in a week
really think you should change the picture, i know it was on WSJ but it doesn’t seem right.
@trevozza, brought a tear to my eye. God bless

armed, law abiding citizens arent the problem here. places with strictest gun control have highest crime. criminals dont care about our laws. our society is the problem but its easier to blame a chunk of metal than ourselves…
@28ontheway your right because the law abiding citizens who pass the background check and take the proper steps to own and legally carry a gun are the people committing crimes. you sir are a fucking retard.
great blog Mo, at least your seeing it right. im a few towns away from newtown in CT and even people that close to it are debating over gun laws and if video games are the problem. Cant people just mourn and realize what just happened for a second. Makes me sick
The 2nd Amendment may have made sense when it was ratified in 1791 – it makes little to no sense today. NO ONE,outside of the authorities and military should own or possess any type of gun.
GUNS FUCKING SUCK.
End of story.
I’m more intrigued by the fact people treat this differently because some of the victims were children. People get shot everyday, the massacre in the movie theater was just as bad if not a heck of a lot worse had there been more victims and yet almost everyone weighs children’s lives over adults? Why? Because of their innocence? One could argue adult lives could be more valuable to society in a number of ways. Children may grow up to become “upstanding members or society” or its rejects, even other shooters, whereas adults are usually already established and working for or against their community. Now I’m not saying one life should be preserved over the other if a choice needs to be made on which to sacrifice, obviously every life is unique and has much potential but I feel that the fact this happened at a school with children shouldn’t be anymore of a shock than if it had happened in any other place where innocent lives were lost, regardless of age, gender, race, nationality.
