[*SunShyne*]

It's now 31?!

Jesus!

That's awful!

[galaxie]

^ Wow. They just updated the number. That is insane.

[ebbomega]

Intense. Especially considering we're about 4 days away from the 8th anniversary of Columbine.

It has happened in Canada just as it has in the states.

Stop generalizing.

[*SunShyne*]

they're more gun happy than us... I understand what she was trying to say.

Either way, this is just awful.... it's a shame though that once so many of these happen, they just don't phase you anymore.

RIP

of course shootings happen in canada too, but the americans are definatly more gun-happy.
i wasnt generalizing persay, its just more of an issue there than it is here.

I personally know more Canadians that are gun happy, moreso than my American friends.

Basically, if we stereotype americans to be 'totally gun happy' and make a comment like 'fucking americans' when something completely tragic happens, we're really no better than americans that stereotype anything with brown skin as a terrorist. Canada has had its fair share of school shootings too. This guy didn't shoot up a school and kill all those people just because he's Amurrican and he loves the guns.


The sad part is, I can remember back to Columbine and how completely sick and in shock I felt the day it happened. I remember all the tv's in my school playing CNN and how all my classes that day we just talked about things and how completely unbelievable it is...and although the severity of this shooting is worse, I don't feel those same things because it seems like every other week there's something like this happening.

HEY GUYS, IT'S OK. THE WORLD'S OVERPOPUPLATED ANYWAYS.

Lets get more recent and closer to home and remember what happened in Seattle last year, too.

My heart goes out to the families/friends of all the people who've died in those horrific incidents.

So according to Sunshyne, does this qualify as the American way of natural selection?

[*SunShyne*]

I don't support the Darwin awards for no reason!

But back to the topic at hand, any updates?

[ebbomega]

Out of curiosity which of the shooting victims qualifies for a Darwin Award?

I am guessing she believes the ones that got shot. They did totally get in the way of the bullets after all.

[dj_soo]

did you miss the part where the shooter is already dead?

this happened in Quebec just last september too...

[dj_soo]

33 dead now :(

[matéo]

Man I had to dodge an angry mob of grey hair this morning at the bank. The conversation went from "some kid shot up his classmates" to "These kids see what happens in video games and think its cool." I stayed out of the conversation and let the oldies do what they do best.

[*SunShyne*]

Oh for cryin out loud ebbomega, it was obviously sarcasm.

Have there been any more updates?

That's because every og henny low doesn't legally register their guns.

Americans have waaaaaaay more guns than us.

[.muffy.]

my thoughts and prayers go out to the families of those students.

Mind sharing your source for this fact?

What a fucking bitch thing to do... just because you're mad at the world and don't want to live anymore doesn't mean you should take 31 random people with you. This shit happens so much that it somewhat has lost it's shock value, but if you really think about it and what the families must be going through right now... it's intense....

what a fucked up situation.... and i feel bad for the parents who are scrambling to reach their sons/daughters and having that sick feeling in your stomach of not knowing if they are okay or not
