Yeah I just saw it on the news, very scary.

Yeah, I heard it. And in Wisconsin too! My friend says it's a very quiet place... Compared to the rest of USA.
Makes me really wonder what happens in the other states, people are crazy.

That's scary. Luckily most cops are not killers.
Still, sends a chill up my spine.

That just realy disturbs me, police are supposed to do exactly the opposite of this.

not to be a downer, but this kind of news reminds me of a saying i read once...
"if ur not disturbed ur not looking close enough"-this seems to encapsulate the world in general these
days.
my heart goes out to the families, and i continue to wonder why nothing is ever looked
into until something tragic happens...there had to be warning signs.

Makes me want to move Down Under. I don't wanna raise my kids in such a horrible world. People are so trigger happy now. :(

Or sensitive. I heard they were calling him a worthless pig, Ive put up with worse, and it sad when some guy goes bezerk and kills people over a name.
Germany is nice, if you plan to move to a different country, but, theres always the language barrier....

Did anyone hear about the college campus shooting of a football player? Apparently someone shot him and he tried to drive to the hospital, but he crashed and died. Jeez, I really don't want to go to college anymore after all of these shootings!

well, hopefully another VT won't happen. otherwise, college seems okay. as for that cop killer thing, i think that guy is just stoopid.

College is mostly safe, and probably safer than high school. There are many other reasons to not go to college, but that's off topic. If you really want to know, ask and I will share. People are more jumpy than I think they used to be. I live in  New Jersey and it's scary the kind of stuff we have in our local news.  Its safer to be in school than to be in a car anywhere in the state. I mean last week a person was getting out of his car in Newark and these guys that stole a car crashed into him and he died. Or perhaps you might have heard of our other shootings?

He had no real reason to go freaky. Only called a worthless pig is nothing to what I used to contend with in school or at home. I mean I've had fights, defending myself, been called things I won't repeat in polite company, and spat on DURING class time in front of teachers that did nothing about it. I've also had my fair share of adminestration difficulties and I never went crazy. It makes me conserned for humans as a species.

That is a really sad story :(

I suppose that while it was not a bad name to be called (I have been called much worse) it must have been the thing that made him snap.

But yet they still let him have the guns?!
