Hoping that everyone up there is ok right now. If there's anyone from there on here, my thoughts and prayers are with you right now. So sick that something like this can happen during a marathon dedicated to the memories of those lost in the Sandy Hook massacre.

My sister ran in the marathon. Luckily she finished two miunets before it happened, and was on her way to a restraunt with some of her friends

Thankfully no. My sister's friend's dad was supposed to run (he always does) but due to his job he couldn't make it this year.

Extremely lucky.

My old rugby coach was running in it. I heard that he is ok. Just a really crazy and messed up thing to think about.

Because some people are stupid, evil, destructive, angry little narcissists. It's really pathetic that such horrible people live in this world, and I will never understand how so many can lack empathy.

My heart goes out to the victims and their families. I hope the injured recover, there are too many fatalities already.

It's sickening, it puts ropes of knots in my stomach just thinking about it 😡

I think the Aroura Colorado shooter has set a bad trend Into motion. Maybe these people think of it as a f*****g contest. And whoever can cause the most mayhem wins. It's a stupid grab for attention because these people are so absorbed in themselves, that they want a quick way to be famous

At least that's my theory

Sadly it began much sooner than Aurora. Even before Columbine. There is an obsession with violence in our culture, that combines with a decline in parenting, discipline, and morality. Unfortunately, something needs to be done about that, which will never be able to be done at a 100% level.

I can only hope that the increase in media coverage and public outcry will make the federal government pass legislation soon. Comprehensive background checks are a must.

Background checks for what? All of the stuff in the Boston bombs was household items that a cashier would never look twice at, unless you are thinking about background checks for gun purchases. I support checks but not the requirement of registering guns to their owners.

Unrelated to what I just said: what if the Anonymous group are staging these to attract attention to their agenda?
