You know, this is why I hate the immediate post-tragedy emotional time. It's when people are in shocked, looking for a knee-jerk (often useless) reaction and end up saying stupid shit, regardless of which side of the isle you land on.

When tragedy strikes, people get stupid.

I heard about this story while I was at work. Now that I'm home, I've seen so many different versions of this story that I'm not even sure what's true or not. Nevertheless, it's still a sad and needless tragedy that had to happen this morning. So many families are now having to deal with the grief of the loss of their loved ones, especially during the holidays. I just can't wrap my head around why somebody would have to destroy so many lives. If you have issues and things look bleak, why can't you just off yourself and leave others out of it?

As for finger-pointing, on my drive home from work, I was hearing a person on talk radio going on about how the reason for this shooting was because of peoples' immoral acts, and because people are turning away from God. This caller then went on to say how when he was growing up and in school, things like this shooting never happened because everybody went to church and prayed. So in other words, this person was blaming all of us who don't go to church, or believe in God, or follow other religions.

It's bad enough that this tragedy happened, we shouldn't make it worse by blaming everybody else for the actions of the nutjob responsible.

Obviously the atheists caused this.

And more atheist-blaming for the shooting... Figures.

All the while ignoring the many, many countries that don't have the same number of massacres and spree-killings yet have a very high percentage of atheists in their population, or countries that aren't Christian.

This is a tragedy.  This is something that's more senseless than an American port of Doctor Who.

And then you have assholes like Bryan Fischer:

Yeah, fuck you dude.  Fuck you in half.

I love how he says when god was in schools, we didn't need guns. Funny, since some of the worst massacres occurred then... anyone remember http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_School_disaster

I live in Canada, and I know that despite the lower percentage of observing Christians, we don't have hardly the number of massacres and spree killings here. That person's argument has been invalidated.

BTW in case anyone missed and wants to see Obama's speech:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKL6S3LEw6c" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKL6S3LEw6c</a>

Oh and I'm waiting for the conspiracy morons to start saying this was a planned attack by Obama as part of a ploy to take away their precious, precious guns. You know it's going to happen, it always does.

Wow, that was heart-wrenching. I'm not even a parent, but I sure feel for them right now.

I'm sure I've already heard some of those morons already today, they waste no time in trying to make it sound like some kind of sinister plot.

Post I found on Tumblr that sums up the insanity surrounding gun politics in the U.S.
Quote
“Now is not the time to talk about gun control.”

Yeah, now is not the time to talk about gun control.

The time to talk about gun control was after Columbine. And then again after Virginia Tech. And then again after Fort Hood. And then again after the Giffords shooting. And then again after Aurora.

When 18 elementary school students have been shot and killed, it’s too late.

As for the shooting itself, I don't even have words that describe how awful what happened is. My heart goes out to all the victims families.

What I 'love' is the guy they got to the Mass Effect fanpage is innocent. Wasn't connected at all. Way to go, media.

I love that the media ruined the lives of anyone with the same name as the guy who did it.

I have one thing to say to anyone who is using the Connecticut school shootings to prove a political point, either pro-gun or anti-gun, blaming video games or even the conservatives or Obama or religion or no religion: FUCK YOU. 27 adults and children died this morning; it shouldn't matter what your creed or politics are, only that there are so many fucking corpses in CT at the moment from this one tragedy that the state law enforcement people need to bring in more coroners to help them. So show a bit of human decency and save the arguments for after the kids are buried, okay?

I posted that on Facebook.

Why are there always going to be evil little pricks out there who figure it's a good idea to murder a bunch of innocent people? I know they exist I just wish they'd stop.

And shooting little kids...

My thoughts are with the families of the dead.
