...and it will keep happening again as long as ire-*ucking-sponsible ADULTS keep letting kids messing around with GUNS.

'Nuff said.

I have a disturbing feeling that the parents will be totally clueless in this one.

I came across this poem by Walt Whitman, written in 1865 about the horrors of death in the Civil War, I thouhgt it quite touching in light of current events.

~~~

Look Down Fair Moon
by Walt Whitman - 1865

Look down fair moon and bathe this scene,
Pour softly down night's nimbus floods on faces ghastly, swollen, purple
On the dead on their backs with arms toss'd wide,
Pour down your unstinted nimbus sacred moon.

And this one by Thomas Hardy.

The Pity of It
by Thomas Hardy

I walked in loamy Wessex lanes, afar
From rail-track and from highway, and I heard
In field and farmstead many an ancient word
Of local lineage like "Thu bist," "Er war,"
"Ich woll," "Er sholl," and by-talk similar,
Nigh as they speak who in this month's moon gird
At England's very loins, thereunto spurred
By gangs whose glory threats and slaughters are.

Then seemed a Heart crying: "Whosoever they be
At root and bottom of this, who flung this flame
Between kin folk kin tongued even as are we,
Sinister, ugly, lurid, be their fame;
May their familiars grow to shun their name,
And their brood perish everlastingly."

I'll never get a wife anyway but I'll never put any kids on this world. I said it numerous times before but now I'm really certain.

BTW I read they aimed for the black students.

I'm disgusted.

Lunatics + firearms + lax school security = Massacre.
I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.

I wonder if this will have a Dunblane-like effect in the US. (In the UK we had a clampdown on handguns, etc.) Rather early to say, but my gut tells me it's not likely.

I need to get my news sources straight. Apparently, these guys are angry at so-called "jocks" and students of racial minorities.

They were Neo-Nazi's. They did this massacre on the 110th anniversary of Hitler's birth.

They were sick, sub-human scum.

Last I heard, the death toll had been revised down to 15, including the killers. That's at least something, although it's 13 too many.

I just hope the amount of attention this is getting doesn't inspire copycat crimes. It was probably a good idea for the Chicago paper to only put the event of page two, so the killers wouldn't be glorified the attention they were seeking.
