News Another Shooting In The Us

[Deleted member 12723]

This is so insain. The news people are asking the question what can we learn from this. I am guessing that anyone who hears about this feels so bad inside. I cannot believe he killed so many. I really hate stuff like this. Everyone is on high alert in LA.

I feel for the first responders that had to deal with this horrible situation. What a thing to have to face and deal with while doing their job.

I can't even read these posts or bear to see it on the news, it is so throughly, horribly horribly horribly heart-breaking for all the people, children families, everyone. And before Christmas. And little children. I can't believe such a thing, and I can't bear the grief I feel for their grief, and mine is nothing compared to theirs, so I can't believe their horror, grrief, shock, fear. What could possess someone to be filled with such hatred, the whole thing to me is horrors horrors horrors. Poor, poor people. :cry: :(

The President just said our hearts are broken today. I agree with you Junebug. Hugs to you.

I've been avoiding the news completely today. I feel shaky, afraid and weepy. My heart goes out to the families left behind and the first responders who will no doubt live with this for a while.

I had to switch the TV channel to the movie White Christmas for awhile to try and decompress from the horrific news :(

I will come back to this when I am sober as far as the whole antigun crowd. All I can say now is this shit breaks my f*cking heart and it feels like my very soul hurts right now.

If I ever lose my shit completely and feel the need to senselessly murder people my target would be a maximum security mens prison. And I wouldn't need guns to level the whole god damn place.

Believe me I wouldn't need a gun.

I'm sorry y'all.

I'm so sad for the kids that lived through that today. I keep thinking survivals guilt or the whole the gun thing. I remember being shot at a few times (80's bad neighborhood) and I was young. It never leaves you.

I can't help but wonder how many of them will actually get help and how many will be forgotten.

I mean I've really obsessed over this. Tried watching old tv shows from the 50's to put it out of my mind.

I can only hope they have the living support - the whole lot of them - so nothing worse happens.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the families for everyone involved.

There will be so much pain and suffering so many will endure from this. Many will no doubt have PTSD and have the image of what happened and what they saw, heard and felt in their heads for a long time to come. So sad and so tragic.

I feel deeply for all the children, teachers and families and all the first responders - like police having to deal with these terrible and senseless murders. I hope they all get the support and care they need.

What more will it take for the US to tighten their gun laws?

Shellbell I agree with you. My daughter wants to divorce her current husband and he has tons of guns. It makes me very nervous for her and the children. He is being verbally and emotionally abusive right now and she is stuck living there as she does not have a job.

I wish she had kept her mouth shut until she could make a way to get out of there first. No hope of reconcialtion.

I think they should tighten the gun laws. We do not need assaut rifles for the average citizen. I picture the violence of the middle eastern countries and I do not want to have a war.

I wish they would hurry up and do something about gun control. The problem with the individual shooters is only going to get worse. It makes me really nervous.

Gizmo, I really hope your daughter and grandchildren will be safe and okay. I can see this would worry you a lot :hug:

I am having a hard time with this. Images of when I was shot keep invading my mind, and I have not been able to grasp how a person could shoot 1 other person, let alone 27 other people who were mostly children. This has been a very tearful day. Even now I am tearing up typing this, but I feel like I need to say it. I feel bad making this about me, but it just hit me at my core. It's so terribly sad.

I hope that the children who survived, the school staff, their friends and families, and all law enforcement and medical personell who responded will get all the support they need. I really hope they assess ALL the kids in the school to make sure that the ones who need counseling have access to it, and that no one slips through the cracks.
