I just saw that vid, horrific

I remember watching Bowling for Columbine and the video footage taken in the school was unreal, bloody awful ting for everyone to have to go through.

Some right fucking weirdos about, not something we luckily suffer from here but no doubt it will happen one day.

What the fuck has happend to that country? and why is it every year or so, we hear of these kids doing this?

I suppose we could say the same about the stabbings over here, but even so, 33 dead people, in one school...

RIP to all the killed, and thoughts to their families.

RIP to the people.
Its gotta be all these computer games like grand theft auto and these crazy gun shooting movies they watch.
Americans aint right in the head, they live in a dream/unreal sort of world.
They say how free their country is but you cannot walk the streets...I tried it and I got so many funny looks Most of their cars as soon as you put them in drive the doors lock...Thats freedom?

Plus in this county when a kid gets bullied to the point of murder he cant get hold of a gun so if hes lucky a knife.

plus over here they are more likely to commit suicide than get a gun.

not always the case though. just get some nutters around the place.

The USA has only itself to blame. They have city below see level with poor defences that are creaking and don't bother with repairs and people die. They allow guns to be sold to almost anyone, in some states very easilly and kids are regularly going around blasting others.

When you have a gibbon like 'W' Bush in charge whos face comes up like a baboons arse when asked what certain words mean then innocent people will continue to die.

Although there are some decent people and places over there, America is the devils playground. They gave us drive by shootings, obesity and many other atrocities. RIP to those inocent people however no one or there families deserve that.

On a softer note why aren't Pizza hut and mcdonalds open now, i'm starving.

7th ammendment RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS, enough said, there are three times more guns in the US than there are people, you do the maths.
In UTAH you can have a GUN at the grand old age of 14, the ONLY condition is one of RESIDENCY, ie if you live there.
Don't forget this is not just hand guns we are talking about in the US being allowed but things that wil stop a tank, ie RPG etc LEGAL TO OWN.
I think that a lot of it is the way that the GUN over there is treated as an accessory, and beleive they have themsleves to blame.
I send my warmest condolances to the familes of thse affected, as any right thinking person would, but they need to stop and look at their own way of life first.

Deffo agree, would be interesting to see the crime / gun / knife incidents that take place over there in comparison to here..... Wonder if the figures are relative to the sheer size of the USA.

RIP to the lost ones

If you haven't seen Bowling For Columbine then have a watch as its very interesting.

It mentions the ratio of murders from the US to Canada and it is ridiclous.

I thought it was a good watch although best to make you OWN mind up

...you are born evil,or driven to be evil....nothing to do with Bush or America.........its how they are raised and who they mixed with...or dodgy gene pool...this person would have mass murdered whatever in the situation that made him do it....just cause they got guns allowed you have to BE the sorta person who could pull the trigger...its goes far deeper than blaming one person and its laws

Such a shame

Imagine loosing someone in an event like that, such a waste Watching the footage of the Columbine shootings is pretty horrific, people trapped in such desperation, such panic. To be one day just going for a lesson and to find a gunman roaming the corridors in a bullet proof vest, the doors chained and people throwing themselves from windows to escape.

Weird about the initial shooting two hours prior. Seems the university is coming under a lot of criticism and I'm not sure it's fair to start pointing the finger so early, we love having someone to blame.

RIP

Yeah thats because we could read a map

Our trouble was we were one of the worlds greatest ever super powers and now look at us. Britians to PC these days and thats half the problem. As for the job our Forces are doing at the minute i would love to comment but i am not going to.

As for the Yanks they think we are mad

Such a shame like things like these are happening, cant understand how someone could bottle this much stuff up to make them do this

Its sad but there is plenty of pointless death in the world today.

Just because it happens in the USA and they are Americans don't make it anymore special or sadder.

I am sure the school killings is now a cult thing and it will happen every few years with the numbers getting higher and higher.
