This is unbearable. The depths of human depravity and evil knows no bounds. My prayers are with the families and those children. I just have no words.

It is appalling that they jump right to the political on this. Lets consider the incredible loss of life for awhile and wait for the facts.

I don't, sorry. I heard it on CNN.

 

Apparently the gunman's mother was a teacher at the school and the massacre may have been of a kindergarten class.

 

It sounds like his father has been found dead at their home in Hoboken, N.J. Perhaps his mother as well.

 

None of the above may be accurate. I hope it isn't. The more I hear the more deeply disturbing this is. I'm not going to be able to listen to any more of it.

Right now it is all confusing as to the details.

Obama wastes no time saying we have to do "something" about this kind of things and need to set politics aside.

 

Question: What?

 

Evidently the school had good security. So my question is....why. Why do we need metal detectors, guards, security in schools?

(I'm about to go into full geezer mode)

When I was a kid (See I told you geezer mode) we didn't have all these measures, because none was needed. Now I grant you this was Duluth Mn. not NY City, but something has changed in society in my life time, and has not changed for the better. I don't really know what or what to do, but something bad is going in our society.

 

 

 

That being said, this is what Presidents do in situations like this.
