Can we submit FB quotes to the main page if they're absolutely awful?
Oh, you take the high road, and I'll take the low road...

My mother did not CHOOSE life. She planned for it.

Is that weird monkey-creature-looking-thing supposed to be a BLACK MAN?

This is horrifying. When I saw the headline this morning, it only said that the gunman was dead. Didn't mention any other casualties. I got home to see this on the news and am still in shock. This surpasses Columbine.
Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

So fucked up.  As one of my friends said, "Who the fuck shoots up an elementary school??".

I don't know if it's still true, but I had heard that one whole class was still unaccounted for too.

Ironbite-and CUE THE GUN CONTROL DEBATES ANEW!

Already seen it on a few statuses or comments on Facebook.  Didn't take long at all for that to get fired up.

That's one of the things that bothers me. When people are looking for what the motivation for the shooter was, all I can think is "they shot up an elementary school, that tells you everything you need to know about their state of mind".

Edit: And the shooter's brother is in custody.

God, Obama's statement was heart-wrenching.

I hate to be that guy but...

...school psychologist?? Is that a standard thing in American schools?

As others have said, they're usually the counselors- a psychology degree is preferred because it allows the school to better recognize abuse cases (which the schools are required by law to report), improves the chances of success for students with learning disabilities, and so on. They're sort of a just-in-case person.

Hero teacher Kaitlin Roig tells ABC News that she barricaded her first grade students in classroom bathroom and locked the door when she first heard gun shots. “The kids were being so good. They asked: ‘Can we go see if anyone is out there? … I just want Christmas… I don’t want to die, I just want to have Christmas.’ I said, you’re going to have Christmas and Hanukkah.. I tried to be positive.”

That kind of thing just breaks your heart.

I will never understand such senseless killing.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

There's no motivation for shooting up a classroom, especially full of children.  What I want to know is, where was school security?  I had to pull teeth just to get my brother our of class (after my mother called) and the lady glared at me if I so much as stepped to the hallway door to look.

Almost every school I've ever taught at, or gone to myself, doesn't have security or any type of officers. The largest school near me, with a 400ish students in their senior class, doesn't have anything other than cameras on campus. The smaller schools around here don't even have that.

So apparently Fox news is ALREADY trying to scapegoat video games and gun control as the fault of the shooting.  Goddamn, they have no decency.  People JUST found out that they are going to be celebrating the holidays without their little kids, and you guys are already blaming the liberals?  Fuck you Fox.

Can we please stop the Jack Thompson defense.  Hell after reading about this Saints Row was the only thing that remotely made me happy

Goddamn it! I just found out about this and I am angry and sad. I don't have cable but I came across it on Facebook. Also, the fact that Christmas is near and some families lost their children was heart breaking; I want to cry. I want to know what the fuck is causing all these shootings this year; first with the Batman theater shooting, then the one in Oregon recently and now this? I wish that kind, caring aliens could take me off this fucking planet.

My facebook has exploded with anti American sentiment

"I want to feel sad for those American kids in Connecticut, but they were probably going to grow up into yankee douchbags, so fuck em"
