I am so sad, first for the Shooting in my state of Oregon at a mall, but not as devastating as in Connectut. (sp), not sure how to spell sometimes. My Heart goes out to the families. I have a grandson and granddaughter ages 9 and 10. My God, I don't or even can imagine how I would feel, let alone my daughters and son in laws. I am crying as I write this as I feel so deeply about what has happened.
I don't have much money, but I will help support in what ever way I can . I am still devastated by the victims of Sandy. Great, keep on trucking, keep on touching keep on loving, keep on supporting our great country and people. God Bless to all.

I was explaining the incident to my caregiver who doesnt have a computer or tv and she was balling its just so she is a mother and she was reminding me about how those parent must feel with this happening so close to christmas its just to much :'(
-
It is horrible i just read another report another shooting at a high school basketball in ohio so far it says no injuries what the hell is wrong with people???? My prayers go out to all ..................
-
How can anyone look a child in the face and shoot them, it just does not make any sense. Prayers go out to all families affected by this tragedy.
-
I don't know. I just wished somebody was licensed to carry, as I think they could have at least limited the threat before it went further. Just saying. At least give them a chance before the shooter went further with his mayhem.
-
So sad that we live in a world where innocent people are killed
-
This is awful, my heart :heart: goes out to everyone in Connecticut and too all of the family's and friends.This makes me want to hold on to my son even tighter and be thankful for what I have.
They are in my prays.
-
I agree that if there would have been one teacher or guard there with a weapon to return fire there might have been a differance. But there wasn't so now we grieve as we always do when an innocent life is taken. Pick up the pieces of our shattered lifes. Maybe say a little prayer and hug our loved ones a little tighter. And than we do what all soldiers do. We pick up and move on.

Jesus [;ease look over and watch over all who are involved in this horrifying matter.. Please Jesus take care of all the parents who lost kids yesterday, and the familie who lost a Mommy or Daddy.. Please Jesus..

:BangHead: I just want to vent, So I'm taking it out on you "Garydh"... Please, re-read what you said "licensed to carry" "give them a chance before the shooter went further"....... Maybe you didn't understand that this was a K to 4th school... We're talking about 5 to 10 year olds, and the teachers who taught them (they themselves had to be kind/caring/loving/understanding people, [most] not just teaching to get a paycheck, and not Kto8 or H.S. teachers.) I mean KIDS 5 to 10 years..... At that age was just the beginning of their lives...Like I said I just wantta VENT... I want to be mad but I can't, this is just too sad... for the parent(s) who rushed to the school only to find their child not among the others........ for the many people who are effected one way or another.... I'm a 60 y. o. male, never been married,not a parent/grandparent, uncle yes, straight if that helps, lived a kinda hard life... but this.... happening to the very young...I can almost understand mall shootings or even somewhat H.S. and/or university's crazy shooters. I'm just having a hard time wrapping my head/thoughts (pea-brain that it is) around this ... Whomever first said that "The Lord's Work Is A Mystery" sure knew what and/or how to say it, but they left out Tragedy in this case.... My Prayers go out to all those grieving, May the Love of Our Father, His Son Jesus and the Grace of the Holy Spirit comfort them now, along with the days ahead. My prayers are also with you (FCers) who feel the same as I do when an innocent life is taken.(please do not reply F9, ty).

they need to do something about the schools.metal detectors before entering,security guards or something.it's happening too much.
-
I was at work yesterday when someone came in and told me about what was going on. The person and I debated, would it make a difference in the number of these incidents if the news did not report these things nationally? Are some people only doing these things to get their name out in the world for 30 seconds of fame and a chance of making the history books? If no one outside of the community where the incident happened knew about it, would no one want to "out-do" what the last person did? Ex, this man "out-did" the movie theater shooter...
Thoughts? Should the news not acknowledge these types of tragedies nationally?
-
i also sad i was brought up in htfd CT. im so upset about all of this. i feel for everyone there and also lost my mother in law this passed week :(
-
I saw the news of the shooting online this morning. What a terrible tragedy. :crybaby2: :'( My heart goes out to the victims in Connecticut and their families. My prayers and thoughts are with them at this time. May God bless the survivors and I hope justice will be brought to attackers.
-
I no longer watch the news because all the news reporters are only interested in reporting over and over about what happend. They are giving so many people the ideas of how to do this. They have covered this for over 24 hours and more than half of it has been about the shooter more than about the people that lost their lives. United States worries about foreign terrorist but sadly we have more american terrorist than foreign terrorist. The country needs to quit worrying about foreign lands and start taking care of our people and stop these terrorist here on our ground that were born and raised here. We lose more people at our hands than by the hands of foreign terrorist.

Stop giving stuff like this attention. This is why people going doing things like this. They know it will get them attention. What is wrong with you people? You are as bad as they are for basically encouraging it ! Stop rewarding bad behavior !
-
I've been saying ever since our daughters were in school that they need to have metal detectors at all the school entrances and security guards patrolling regularly. Back then, kids were carrying knives to school in jr. high quite a bit. Metal detectors would help a lot I think. A few times while my girls were in school I would get word that some gang or somebody had a gun or knife at school; I would leave work and go to the school to check on the safety of my girls. Those were not easy years for my girls nor for their parents. A child should not have to worry about their own personal safety at school. Its just way too sad what happened in Connecticut. My heart and prayers go out to the people of that town and the parents and families of the victums.
-
I just don't understand what is wrong with people lately. :BangHead: How in the world can anyone shoot innocent people, I don't care if they are children or adults, it's sad that they are kids but a life is a life. It makes you wonder what is happening in today's society. How can these poor parents go on? It has to be hard enough to lose a child, but this has to be the worst time. Just think how these parents must feel when they look at the wrapped gifts Santa was going to give their children in a few days. My heart goes out to the families of the children and the staff who won't be spending Christmas this year. :sad1: :sad1:
-
I don't think many people realize how low someone has to stoop to think they are justified in killing a kid. You have to be the most evil, insensitive, and plainly insane idiot to do something like that. A person who does things that should not be allowed to exist in society. It makes me sick to think there are othr people like that in the world.
-
i felt so sick when i heard about what happened..my grandson is in first grade, and school is where most kids feel the safest, and now that has been taken away from them. our president was wiping tears from his eyes, and it was the saddest thing since 911.

Ok, "Cuppycake", America does not "reward" bad behavior. The reason things like this get attention is because there is loss of life of innocent victims. What is wrong with us, well, for one we have people like you who obviously dont give a crap that things like this happen and say its everyone else's fault. You should be ashamed to even think that because someone cares what happened to these kids, that people are in part responsible for evil acts such as this! What is your problem?!
-
And another thing "Cuppycake", if that is your attitude towards this terrible act, are you saying that we invited 9/11???!!!! If you think this, you should pack your bags and LEAVE America, because you can't even express sympathy for murder victims, and you can't be a real American and NOT INSULT YOUR COUNTRY!
-
Yes, all we can do is pray, and hold our children close. Hopefully you have the means to protect them if need be. I just hate these *bleep*... so bad, especially during a time that our children are looking forward to. Christmas. Yes our prayers go out to the families, I just can not imagine their grief. God Bless them all so much. May this insanity end.
-
My heart and prayers go out to all the families and their children. There was children that witness their friends and teacher being killed. They will need our prayers too. Losing a child is the worst thing to happen to a family, too. I pray good gives them peace this season. Our God is a loving God and he gave us a choose, it is a shame that some people make the evil one. What is the world coming to?
I beleive we need someone at every school with a gun. If they change the laws about guns it will only be the good people without them.
God Bless Everyone
Merry Christmas

A national movement has begun to wear blue and yellow or green and white on Mon., Dec. 17 in support of Newtown, Conn. Blue and yellow are the colors of Sandy Hook Elementary School. I do not know what green and white represents.

Giving shootings media coverage causes more shootings... So yeah the problem lies with you.

No retarded people with :bs: belief systems did.

Further more my family is Choctaw so I am willing to bet YOU are the one that needs to GTFO !
-
Yes alot of sad events going on in the world. Not that there would be a better time but I am sure it is almost worse here at Christmas because some folks have decorations and presents to make them even sadder about their children or relatives of the adults. Very sad.
-
I don't understand how anyone can celebrate christmas this year after all these shootings. Its just too sad to celebrate anything at the moment. Can you imagine opening gifts and having good time with your family for christmas while these families won't have the same opportunity as you? My prayers go out to the families and everyone effected by these shootings.
-
Very disheartning for all involved. :'(
-
I haven't been on for a few days, was busy last week and just sick about the tragedy in Conn. over the weekend. My heart is broken for the families. I have two children, ages 10 and 11. We've just been hanging out with our kids and hugging them more than usual. I can't understand how anyone could do something like that...
-
it was such a tragedy, I believe the news media covered it very well up to a point. After reporting it over and over the parents and families need a break from it, and only have the high lights once in a while. But too have too see it time and time agin as each news reporter has to put their spin on it , it hurts. Having gone through of such horror of just losing 1 child and 3 of his friends. Too have too see in on all day, day after day is too much. Our prayers go out too all of the families there. God watch and confort you.
-
How can someone look a child in the face and shoot them? This is so evil and tragic. Yes something should be done about people with mental issues bringing guns inside of schools. The schools should have metal detectors at each door entry. They have an system set up at the airports. Why isn't the detector system at all schools? Children are as precious as the people in the planes. My heart and prayers goes out to all of the families.
-
My daughter is 7 years old. I had just dropped her off at 1st grade about an hour before this all happened. I was at the airport when I heard about the shooting. So awful. I can't even imagine how those parents must be feeling. :(

I doubt that he'll be reading this.
-
Look at it this way, it gives everybody something to talk about, the news media has something to print for you to buy, a star is born, and pretty soon you are paying your 12 bucks to see it on the big screen. Now my question is, it's not what is wrong with the people who did these horrible crimes but what is wrong with everyone else? :angry7:
-
What a Tragedy. I can't imagine losing one of my children this way. I will never understand the mind of a young person committing such a terrible crime.
-
people need prayers and people to remember the special students and teachers lost.
-
How can anyone look a child in the face and shoot them, it just does not make any sense. Prayers go out to all families affected by this tragedy.
I said the same thing. How in the world could anyone look into the innocent face of a child and shoot them? They are harmless, unable to defend themselves. Makes me so sad.

Yes I do think that the need to be acknowledged. This was cruel and uncalled for act by an extremely sick indiviudal. My heart aches for these families. I think though that the media needs to stop broadcasting it 24/7. These families are going through enough and don't need to see this continously especially the children. I also don't like that the media has to jump to interview the families after such a horrific act. Leave the families alone.
-

You know I don't normally say anything back to a post like this. But really this was uncalled for by you. Apparently you don't seem to want to grieve for the families. This was a horrific act. No one is rewarding bad behavior. It was acknowledging the senseless deaths of 26 individuals. Twenty innocent children that should not be dead. So many other children that have lost their innocence by witnessing this act.
-
Well this is a hot subject, as we do have those that believe one way, and those the other. That is what brings us together in the end.
We take a little from each other, and I feel come to an agreement. Nothing in our lives is perfect. If you believe you are perfect, then, and I hopefully quote, "He who is perfect, .... or without sin...., please cast the first stone...." Sorry but this is not just in the Bible, but also in many cultures, one is mine the " Cherokees, and .. well, look at history. Something is written in our hearts, and no matter your station or upbringing in life, it is written in your heart. We just have to find that again, among all the propaganda being exploited upon us.
Let us pray for those in this tragedy. in our own way and I hope your family is safe and can enjoy a very
Merry Christmas

Rough year for the name Sandy....so tragic indeed :(
-
my work has the channel set to the news all the time and they were playing things from sandy all day. it made me cry. :crybaby2:
-
Yes I too am tired of the news media, but all I can say at this point, is I am praying for all that the rest of the year, will bring good things and good memories to finish the year with, not the tragedy. But I hope out of this tragedy, some good things will come from it. Merry Christmas
-
How tragic is it that someone starts a thread to voice their grief and is attacked for it?
I might as well add my two cents which I’m sure will be negatively received as well. I was infuriated when I read that westboro Baptist church had announced their intention to picked at the children’s funerals. I went to the white house web site and added my name to the list on the petition to have westboro Baptist declared a hate group.
-
How can anyone look a child in the face and shoot them, it just does not make any sense. Prayers go out to all families affected by this tragedy.
That was my first thought when they started showing the pictures of the children. They were all so cute and beautiful how could someone look at them in the face and shoot them. My heart goes out to all the families. Sending lots of prayers of peace in all that happen to that town. Hopefully when day they will be well again. God Bless them all.
