Right there with you two. Probably why I don't hunt.Exact same thing happened to me.
What makes me angry is this; I wish I could ask this piece of #### one thing: I can somewhat come to the logical conclusion, with the precursor that you're ####### bat#### insane, of being so angry at your parents that you'd decide to take their lives. But what the hell did the others do? What did those kids do that would cause you to start shooting at them and continue? What the hell was going through your deranged mind? But I can't because this ####### coward offed himself. I'm both incredibly saddened and really ####### pissed.
Hucks did nothing wrong in here today, well at least nothing ban worthy. I can see people in the not here/not now crowd, but the jerks that just didn't agree with his opinion acting so over the top outraged was ridiculous.And with Huckabee, it's probably something that he should have saved for a week from now, but you can't kill the guy for his opinion on why society is so ####ed up right now that its almost beyond repair. This kind of crap is happening too frequently. People are going to blame gun laws, video games, lack of religion, etc...in the next couple of months. You guys going to be so outraged by all of those, or only the ones you personally agree with?It's basically an LHUCKS type move IMO.The one about taking God out of school? Like I said I don't agree, but I really don't know how it's so offensive. I assume a lot of religious folks are thinking along the same lines.After everything that happened today, it's hard to believe people are so outraged by that.Have to assume RBM either didn't read the comments or misunderstood them.WTF is wrong with you? He didn't say anything that bad. I don't agree with him but you're reaction is a little mental to be honest.'MacArtist said:I don't believe in Hell, but if I'm wrong I look forward to seeing Huckabee there and shoving some burning brimstone where the sun don't shine.
Unreal.
Add to the cathartic ###-beating list
Now this guy here....this is an #######.
Not that it matters, but I agree with you too.
Right there with you. I'm not usually affected by news tragedies. I feel sorry for the victims, but it doesn't rise to disturbing me at a deep level. Today did because the age and innocence of the victims. The only other times I felt like this because of the news were 9/11 and the Beslan School Massacre (was dating a Ruskie at the time so we were following that troubling story).
I wish these mother ####ers would just kill themselves at the first inkling of a suicidal thought.
Yeah, heck, as an internet message board, we even acknowledged this was no place to push that agenda (well most of us and the other few aren't with us) yet this guy who might have been President didn't have that decency?It's basically an LHUCKS type move IMO.The one about taking God out of school?

I thought that was prudent for my 7 and 6 year old. I want them to stay innocent a little longer.
That short speech was one of his finest moments.
No. Only the ideas with a political agenda behind them that have no correlation with violence, guns, or insanity.
So the "Banned" under LHUCKS's username - is that like "suspended" or really "banned forever?"
Would have nipped this in the bud. A bazooka up this idiot's rectum – BOOM! – problem solved.For the dense: 
It isn't crazy. In fact, it is the most sane response there is. Laws, outrage and sympathy don't fix problems.
I would hope that they give that guy the boot. Just horrible.
This guy just needs to shut up. It's not the time to be making statements like this.
Not much you can ever do to prevent a terrible freak occurrence happening to your son, but you can do a lot so that in 6 years and 6 more years, your son still considers you his best friend. Keep being a great father.Just tucked my 6yr old in. Decided not to tell him anything. No need right now (imo). As I shut off his light, he said "Dad, did you know that youre my best friend?"
LMFAO i felt the same EXACT way with my 3 yr oldI was feeling extra emotional when I picked my kids up from daycare today.Then they came home and acted like typical 18-month and 3-yr-olds and I couldn't wait until thy went to bed.
Man, I seriously can't even imagine the pain of that moment. Awful.
Seems like the media has made a lot of mistakes in their rush to get breaking news today.
I completely agree. Wasn't really agreeing that it was crazy, just that doing something positive tomorrow was the first thought. Finger pointing and assigning blame won't solve anything. On a side note, I don't exactly have a grand or two to buy gifts tomorrow, but I can certainly put a few hundred dollars up.... what kind of toys, etc. would be good to buy? Or, I'm open to suggestions on anything that would help make Christmas a little better for kids.ETA: If this is not the place to ask that question, then I apologize.
I wasn't shocked to learn he was from a broken home.
I don't see why this would be the wrong thread to ask about how you can help people in need.I am sure nearly any book, art supply, or toy would be appreciated. However, the gift that could make the greatest impact is your time and your example.
But I hate studies like that unless they go into more detail.What are the details of those "broken" homes. Father or mother not involved...not attentive and so on. One remarries and takes more to the new family than the old?How many that stay together are truely "broken" homes? So many factors that are not always taken into consideration IMO.This said coming from a guy whose parents divorced when I was 2-3. Both remarried and to this day my wife wonders how my mom and dad were ever together in the first place. They are nothing alike nor seem compatible at all (more than being friendly to each other now...they do get along ok). They both fit perfectly with their current spouses and my brother and I are much better off the way things did work out. We ended up with 2 loving sets of parents who both were involved in our lives.It obviously does not always work that way.
Our local Bank has a program that allows you to buy gifts for needy children. You are given a first name, gender, age, and a small list of what they need/want. Some of the things on the list almost make you wan to cry. Shoes, socks, blanket...... things that most kids take for granted.Wife and I participate every year.
Cool that people were giving.But I have to say something...you seem the only one wanting to keep bringing up terrorist attack.How long is this thread? And you have mentioned it several times...yet nobody else was.
A person being diagnosed with aspbergers does not make them any more of a threat than a child not diagnosed with aspbergers. However, any person that makes threatening remarks should be regarded with extra concern.
Thanks for the link...I will give it a look after I fix this drink.Was not meaning to infer you were using bad studies...just that I hate some of them.
Wife and I are still up in the air on whether to talk to our seven year old and what to say if we do. He seems to have missed it up until now, so we may just wait and see how things go.Definitely even nicer than usual to see the boys tonight though.Hearing that the parents of the dead were the last ones waiting at the fire station and someone had to tell them there were no more children coming is one of the worst things I can imagine. No idea how you survive something like that.Just tucked my 6yr old in. Decided not to tell him anything. No need right now (imo). As I shut off his light, he said "Dad, did you know that youre my best friend?"
Thanks to the both of you.... Sounds like a mix of toys and basic needs is the way to go. I already know the drop off locations for basic need items and searched the locations for Toys for Tots. We're going to a family Christmas party tomorrow and my old man is riding with me. If I know him, he'll throw in as well.All of you parents, hug your kids and tell them you love them. What a horrible day for those parents and children in Connecticut.
. The authorities at that point were suspicious of anyone that had contact with the kid, and rightfully so. As others have said, they can sort things out later, but they never know if there are other people involved, other things planned, people at risk, etc.
My kid's already eff'd. His mother and I divorced in 2009. I have Asperger's; he has been diagnosed bipolar with Autistic Spectrum Disorder and, at age 12, takes more meds in a day than an 80 year-old man. Has been kicked out of numerous schools since the age of 3 when he lasted about 2 days in a Montessori preschool. Even got kicked out of Sunday school when I was married and taking the kids to church every week. My wife and step-daughter are scared of him, as are his sisters (who live with their mother - split custody with him living with me). His psychopharmacologist has told me that he should not be left alone with anyone else in the family, except for me or his mother, necessitating me in hiring a special needs teacher to come take him after school lets out. After an episode of particularly bad behavior about 6 weeks ago, same psychopharmacologist asked me what my biggest fear was with respect to him.... my answer, no joke, was that he would be another John Ogdren, who stabbed another kid in the men's room of the high school one town over a few years ago. Psychopharmacologist said he didn't think he would get that far before being institutionalized.
Did they let them in to see the bodies or no?I am guessing no, but I am not sure
Just some friendly advice.
Perhaps you should place him somewhere before your worst thoughts come true. I know it seems like giving up on your son, but knowing that he is really capable of something terrible, denying it, and letting him act out, that is giving up on him.
The only other deadly attack at an elementary school on this scale was a coordinated terrorist attack in Russia. I've also participated in some terrorist modeling activities where I work, and yes, as crazy as it sounds, schools as targets have been modeled. After 9/11 nothing is off the table. And one thing I've learned - if there is a terrorist event, put yourself and your family on high alert as there may be follow up attacks. Remember those poor souls in Tower 2 who were told it was an isolated incident and to stay where they were? Head on a swivel my man.
