Seen a bunch about it on my news feed on facebook. Not even interested in reading it, It's sunny outside.

Holy fuck, they were just little kids. When this first hit the news this morning it sounded like a couple teachers might have been shot, nothing like this.

Just saw that at my local coffee house. Tragic, tragic news; will be giving my kids an extra hug tonight when I get home. How some of the parents must be feeling right now is unimaginable. My heart goes out to them.

Please let me demonstrate the ride around; really it's no trouble.

As a father with a child just entered into school, this really hurts to hear. I cannot imagine how the families are feeling, such a pity.

I just hope the shooter isnt glorrified and given fame in a sense that they dig in and publish what he was like. He was a shooter, now dead no more! The focus must be on the loss of life and what a great tradgedy it is.

this happened hours after MI passed a bill that allows concealed weapons in schools, daycares, stadiums, etc…

The guy was seriously armed. But guns don't kill people…

That is so terrible, I'm at a loss for words.

It is extremely sad that somebody could be so without help that they can decide to do this to children.

If they had only passed this bill sooner teachers and kids could have been armed to the teeth and this would never have happenned.

It is horrible. I can't imagine the feeling of loss and terror for the families involved.

However, this sort of thing happens in many places in the world on a daily basis, and these non-Western country atrocities do not get anything like the outcry or attention:

Be pissed off - fine - but if we don't pay as much attention to all unnecessary violent deaths - what does that say about humanity?
