Prayers for all involved. I wish I could say more but tears for the children are blinding me.

I know I’m dreaming, but wouldn’t it be nice if the U.S. media would self-censor their coverage about senseless murders, or at least give them no more coverage than comparable motor vehicle accidents. A monthly report, with a statistical comparison to other causes of death, would be acceptable.

You're suggesting the news not cover mass murders?

Hmmm..

The more you do of what you've done, the more you'll get of what you've got. Their excuse: It sells papers.

This country is dying.

In many respects it is. on many different levels . These types of incidents are clearly occurring at increasing frequency.

I really don’t mean to trivialize what’s going on, not at all, but I’m thinking there’s a conspiracy going on in the last 12-16 months...

What conspiracy would that be?

It is so needless. Thank you Pandy, for always praying for the victims of tragedies. I join you in prayer!

I don’t know if the same thing that has been bothering me is bothering you, but...buy ammo and parts. And if you aren’t yet armed but want to be (or want to be better armed), get her done now.

I don’t think its a conspiracy but more like a collective madness, an amoral frenzy that infects the mass culture.
Just yesterday here in Oakland,a guy got into a minor fender bender and was beaten almost to death by the other driver.
He left four children without a father for a long time,perhaps forever.

complete lack of respect for anyone else. When I was a young person, my parents taught me that everyone is to be respected. That other people have rights also. I wish these cookie killers that kill a bunch of people then turn the weapon on themselves, would kill themselves first.Leave the innocent people alone.

In Memphis, blacks have been killing each other at record levels since they have taken over the city. This is, however, the first mass murder that I can think of.

Payers sent from the Cyber Liberty home.

Why, oh why did this happen? Didn’t anyone notice anything unusual about the suspect/victims?
