Update on casualty count per police presser at the scene: 20 children dead and 6 adults. All the children were in the same section of the school. They did not want to specify the number of room in which the children were found, whether one room or more.
Again, an entire kindergarten class is unaccounted for, raising fears that all 18 children in that classroom were killed.
Correction: the final count is 20 children killed and 6 adults. The children's bodies were found in the two rooms and a hall way, in the same area of the building. 18 children were dead at the scene, and two at the local hospital.
Only three individuals were taken to local hospitals.
Updates and after thoughts:
There is talk on Fox, about the "security" of a well-to-do school setting.
Really? Think about this, when was the last time you heard a report of a mass killing in an inner-city school? Is that because of an increased police presence or due to the fact that a good portion of the student body "is packing?"
Shooter's name: 24 year old Ryan Lanza. He may have killed his mother, earlier in the day. Correction: the shooter was named Adam Ryan. He was 20 years old the brother of Ryan.
12:25 pt: we now have a report of a a body found at Lanza's father house. Correction: the father was not killed nor confronted. He is alive and cooperating with the police. Apparently, his mother, divorced from the father, was found, dead, in her home, also.

The conservative gun culture kills again.
ReplyDeleteApparently, you would have felt better if the guy had stabbed all the kids to death. People kill people and all of your liberal/self righteous blame game to the contrary, you have no rebuttal to that comment/fact.
ReplyDeleteSince the Clinton gun ban expired, deaths by gun violence have gone down, but that fact probably means nothing to you.
The conservative gun culture, of which I am a proud member, preaches against this kind of crap, all the time.
I wonder if it would make as much sense to blame the Lefts failed psychoanalytic culture or your failed abortion culture.
You people are such jerks.
Let me ask you something: what should I do to protect myself when two gangbangers come into my home, in the middle of the day, armed with AR 15's, beat the hell out of me and rape my wife? What suggestions do you have for me, you moron.
That scenario happens several times a day, nation wide -- three times last month in the small town in which I live.
fear of blacks is why you have guns.
ReplyDeletepathetic.
The rate of people killed by guns in the US is 19.5 times higher than similar high-income countries in the world.
the conservative gun culture of life
If I'm a criminial who wants to shoot you... I'll shoot you. I'm not going to wait for you to get your gun. False sense of security. Your gun isn't going to help you.
ReplyDeletepeople do stupid things when angry or depressed or sick, and the presence of a gun helps make that stupidity fatal. In contrast, successful use of a gun in self-defense is far more rare. Homicide rates among the US population between 15 and 24 years of age are 14 times higher than those in most other industrialized nations. Children from 5 to 14 years old are 11 times more likely to be killed in an accidental shooting. Within the US, areas with high gun ownership have higher rates of these problems.
You think my Glock is locked up somewhere? Come into my home, uninvited, and lets see who gets rolled up in plastic and dumped in the Mojave dessert, shall we.
ReplyDeleteMore children die by drowning in toilets and swimming pools than are accidentally shot in their homes.
The highest homicide rates in the nation are D.C. and Chicago - each with the strictest gun control laws in the nation.
And guns are used for self-defense and home protection by law abiding citizens 2.5 million times a year.
Oh, btw, you still did not answer my question about home invasions except to assume that I might get too depressed to blow your ass into the middle of the street.
If I want to shoot you, you think I'm going to give you a chance to get your gun? Any time you walk past a window, I could shoot your dumb ass.
ReplyDeleteFirearm deaths are significantly lower in states with stricter gun control legislation - FACT.

All my windows are bullet proof. Now what are you going to do, genius?
ReplyDeleteAnyone can create a scenario in which they "win." My point is this: home invasions by armed men, take place dozens of times per day. Such invasions are almost never successful when the homeowner has a gun.
You refuse to answer my question, moron, and you think no one notices. I am saying this: kick in my door and invade my space, and you will have a serious gun fight on your hands.
If I broke into your home (tent?), apparently I would have nothing to worry about.
I've never owned a gun, I've never had a home invasion and I've never known anyone who has.
ReplyDeleteMaybe if I lived in the projects like you, I'd be as afraid as you are.
