Re: 28 dead in Connecticut school shooting massacre
He had an oddly shaped head, like the guy, Barto, if memory serves, who killed Rebecca Shafer. He looks nothing like his brother he tried to impersonate. I'm guessing they will find some kind of brain damage. Just one of my observances. Check out alot of criminals. If not the beady Ted Bundy eyes, they have oddly shaped heads. <object width="420" height="245" id="msnbc211f69" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=10,0,0,0"><param name="movie" value="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32545640" /><param name="FlashVars" value="launch=50208495&width=420&height=24 5" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><embed name="msnbc211f69" src="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32545640" width="420" height="245" FlashVars="launch=50208495&width=420&heigh t=245" allowscriptaccess="always" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></embed></object><p style="font-size:11px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999; margin-top: 5px; background: transparent; text-align: center; width: 420px;">Visit NBCNews.com for <a style="text-decoration:none !important; border-bottom: 1px dotted #999 !important; font-weight:normal !important; height: 13px; color:#5799DB !important;" href="http://www.nbcnews.com">breaking news</a>, <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032507" style="text-decoration:none !important; border-bottom: 1px dotted #999 !important; font-weight:normal !important; height: 13px; color:#5799DB !important;">world news</a>, and <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032072" style="text-decoration:none !important; border-bottom: 1px dotted #999 !important; font-weight:normal !important; height: 13px; color:#5799DB !important;">news about the economy</a></p> |

Re: 28 dead in Connecticut school shooting massacre
Exactly. But that only tells part of the full story. If you add in accidental shooting deaths and suicides by firearm, every single year in the USA, ten times the number of American citizens die of gunshot wounds as the total number of deaths in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. That's right....ten 9/11s every year in the USA, year after year after year after year. In the decade following 9/11, one hundred times as many Americans died of gunshot wounds as the death toll on 9/11. But it gets worse....it is estimated that American civilians (who comprise a mere 5% of the world's population) possess a whopping 50% of all privately-owned firearms in the world. What a sick society America is. In my country the news reporter asked the Australian news correspondent, "surely this must mean a change in gun laws for America?" and she (like all of us) was amazed, stunned, and just shaking her head when the onsite correspondent said sadly he didn't think things would change. The rest of the world shakes their head in amazement and disgust at America and their fixation with guns. I am shocked like most of the world at the attitude of everyday Americans regarding gun ownership...and how you can walk into a pawn shop for instance and see a wall of guns to chose from, from handguns to military machine guns!! Despite the fact the rest of the world shakes their heads in horror and amazement, these massacres are just part of modern American society and the population pauses for a moment to reflect, then moves on quite happily until the next one! |

Re: 28 dead in Connecticut school shooting massacre
Could you please provide the source of the information, regarding 648 people being killed in Japan by handguns (in the last year)? All the information ive found online supports the data in the poster. But there might be a site I have missed. |

Re: 28 dead in Connecticut school shooting massacre
Exactly. Talk about sticking your head in the sand. You CAN'T talk about the kids, WITHOUT talking about HOW they died. I just Americans cannot even begin to understand the level of disgust the rest of the western civilised world feels about them. They truly have no idea whatsoever. Not only do they have no health system they have no problems with mass shootings - hey, its just 'collateral damage' for their 'rights'. Right? Right? Sick!! I've been reading the comments backwards from page 12 and I'm only on page 10 now, but I have to stop because I am so speechless at the profound ignorance and head-in-the-sand stance from some in here, that I will feel a lot calmer and less frustrated if I stop reading the bullshit comments. I cannot even begin to reconcile how Americans think. Mass shooting after mass shooting after mass shooting - NEVER happens in the rest of the civilised western countries, Only In America. What does that tell you. I live in a country where its impossible to comprehend what it would be like to knowingly live next door to gun owners. It......just doesn't compute with Australians. And we're all 'those crazy Americans' over here. Someone unkindly remarked, maybe they should all shoot themselves into oblivion and then there would be no America and no more threat to anyone else. No one here can comprehend the mindset of Americans and their culture. Its |

Re: 28 dead in Connecticut school shooting massacre
I did say modern civilised western world. But clutch at straws if you must to ignore the problems right in front of you. Look elsewhere, but right in front of you. |
