Because the US has so many social pressure on people, that is why these incidents happen cuetzpalin.

do you have CNN international?, thats the best channel to be watching for any american news.

21, 25 ,31 and the powerball is..

well, those things happen in places that dont have the easily available guns too. Those things happen where i was brought up, but as i say, pulling a trigger is very easy psychologically, you have to be pretty messed up to be able to kill someone using your bare hands or a sharp/blunt instrument, but anyone can pull a trigger. You sound pretty scared, if i may say.

if they outlawed media attention of these things....the crime rate would go down.

not that I agree one bit with limiting the "free" press, but attention-seekers are always have the bar pushed further and further toward attrocity.

shooting up a school is the new way to reach Valhalla for the insane.

BBC's saying it's 32 now!!

Wow which one is right, we won't know till tomorrow.

The families and other students only thought it was 1 dead and 1 injured until the campus had a meeting and announced it was 20 dead, and you should see the footage of him saying that there was 20 dead and the reactions of the people watching.

lots of countries have many social pressure on people.. for example in the eastern europe are poor countries and there is a huge unemployment and low education. and they don't shoot in schools..

Apparently the shooter was a asian man in a black leather jacket, they don't know if he was a student yet.

I watch Fox News. I was watching when this all happened and they had to interrupt an argument to break the news. Channel 510 on sky.

Oh that is sad, this is making me sad. Although I don't know them the families have my condolences.

the police are saying there is 22 dead, the media is saying 32.

In that case you are insane:). I dont know what id do in that situation, thats another matter though, when someone comes into your house, what rights do they forfeit. But they could just be a stupid kid who made a bad decision, and if you could maime them for life or kill them then youd have to live with it.

Oh man, thats where all the trouble starts! Don't bring it over here!

No but do many countries have social pressure, from your peers to be a certain way, from your friends, your family, the media, goverment, I mean if you would live here in the US people have so much pressure coming from all directions. Let's say something bad happened to you, it is still the same puritan belief(which hasn't left this country at all), it just mean that if you did something bad, god or some entity is punishing you. I mean I don't know how it works in Europe, but the US works this way.

this the the 19th school shooting in america in the past 10 years!!!!

what is wrong with america!!!!!!!

Self-defence is self-defence. Whichever gun you are using has the potential of being lethal for the intruder.

A lot of things are wrong with America. The last school shooting I remember was the one in Tacoma, WA early this year. I was shocked because I know someone from there.

Then before that there was that shooting in the Amish school...

I have no guns. Though it sounds like you have several :eek:
