<p>See if all college kids brought guns to class none of this would ever happen.</p> -
<p>JUst saw on the news, American schools do shooter-drills like our kids do earthquake drills, if that doesnt tell you there is a problem, I dunno what does!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Apparently another shooting in Florida, 3 dead including the gunman.</p> -
<p>Right - roll out the Muslim rhetoric Gerald; this bloke hated Christians.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>College campus in that case was a gun-free zone, so the whackos from the NRA have a ready-made argument. Saw a grab of Obama's presser and the guy looks equal parts fucking ropeable and resigned.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nothing will happen. The Military-Industrial Complex makes a handy sideline in firearms sales and they have their dicks in the mouth of too many politicians. I watched Jim Jeffries again just to cheer myself up, but then saw another clip of him off-air at a radio station trying not to tell one of the hosts he was not a fuckhead when the guy said "I'd gladly shoot anyone who broke into my house or yours, if I was your neighbour". Jeffries was trying to make the point that shooting or killing someone even fucks police up mentally, and they're trained to do it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't think I could be that diplomatic, and I'm not against guns. I'm just against handing them out like candy for a couple of hundred bucks.</p> -
<p>Gun culture, like racism, is too deeply embedded in the American psyche. (A friend of mine just returned from Florida, segregated beaches, getting kicked out of a bar for protesting when the bartender called a patron a nigger, it's real).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If anything was going to instigate real change, you'd think the murder of all those babies at Sandy Hook would have been horrific enough. But since then, there have been over 140 school shootings.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>America is one seriously scary, fucked up country. I do feel sorry for Obama, can you imagine what he thinks every time an aide knocks on the door and says 'Mr President, there has been another mass shooting'.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There will always be a 'reason'. They were black. They were women. They were Muslim. They were Christians. The gunman was mentally ill blah blah blah. Instead of focusing on why he did it, they need to look at how COULD he do it. Easy, unfettered access to guns and a whole lot of festering hate.</p> -

<p>I disagree with this though. I lived in the SF Bay Area for three years, and I wouldn't describe it as scary. I was more worried about crime when I was living in Paris.</p> -

<p>Reports are that it was a targeted attack: shooter walked past a female constable on his way to shooting the victim (police-employed IT expert) in the back of the head as they left the building for the day.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Shooter was a 15yo kid. They're saying radicalised, of MidEast background, but still. Fuck. My mate's eldest - like a nephew to us - is 15. How the fuck do you radicalise a kid? What kind of evil fluffybunny gets inside the head of someone who should just be chasing pussy and his first hit of weed, and gets them to do that?</p>

LITCHFIELD, Conn. — Questions about when a menacing costume verges on a criminal threat swirled around this rural town after two high school sophomores were arrested and accused this week of dressing as the Columbine killers for Halloween and threatening to hurt other students.<br><br>
The allegations, coming in an age of heightened awareness of mass shootings, landed with particular force in a town that, like many in western Connecticut, is still on edge three years after the massacre at the nearby Sandy Hook Elementary School.<br><br>
The students got word on Thursday that the Litchfield Public Schools would seek to expel them, one of the boys’ lawyers, David Moraghan, said.<br><br>
The students, whose names have not been released because they are juveniles, also [b]appeared in court on charges of inciting injury to persons or property, a felony, and breach of peace, a misdemeanor.[/b] They were released to their parents after the hearing on Thursday, a day after they were charged and sent to a juvenile detention center.<br><br>
The [b]State Police said the boys made “threats of bodily harm to other students,â€[/b] and the Litchfield Public Schools superintendent said [b]they went out for Halloween on Saturday night dressed in trench coats and sunglasses.[/b] But officials have declined to offer any additional details behind the charges, spawning rumors among parents and residents about what really happened on Saturday night.<br><br>
Mr. Moraghan offered the first detailed account on Thursday of how an ill-advised costume turned into criminal charges.<br><br>
He said that on[b] Saturday night, the boys went to a Halloween party on the town green that draws students from several schools who want to trick-or-treat and hang out with friends. He acknowledged they were dressed in distasteful costumes[/b] but said they did not have “any object that can be used or perceived as a weapon.â€<br><br>
A group walked up to them, according to Mr. Moraghan’s account, and after commenting that they looked like the Columbine High School killers, [b]someone added, “I bet you’re going to shoot up the school.â€[/b]<br><br>
Mr. Moraghan said, “[b]There was a sarcastic response to that, and that was basically the end of it.†[/b]He said one girl told her parents, who then called the police. Investigators, in turn, searched the students’ cellphones and their homes, he said.<br><br>
The State Police confirmed the home search, but declined to answer questions about what they found. Mr. Moraghan said, “Nothing was found in either boy’s home that could in any way give credence to what they claim the boys were going to do.â€<br><br>
Prosecutors declined to answer questions about the case because the defendants were juveniles.<br><br>
The [b]Litchfield Public Schools superintendent, Lynn K. McMullin, said in an email on Wednesday that “there was no credible threat and students were never in physical danger.â€[/b] She did not respond to a message left for her on Thursday.<br><br>
[b]The boys did not face any weapons charges.[/b]<br><br>
Some residents here said the costumes played on widespread fears in a town that is less than an hour from Newtown, where the elementary school massacre in 2012 took place, even if the costumes were only a hollow threat.<br><br>
“Any threat made in Connecticut is taken very seriously because of what happened here,†said James O’Shea, a longtime resident and co-owner of West Street Grill, which overlooks the town green. “You can’t joke about something so lethal. The loss of children and the devastation for the parents — it just destroys the community and whole state.â€<br><br>
Others said that if the boys did not intend to execute a threat of violence, there were better ways to handle the situation.<br><br>
“It’s a prank,†Joe Radano said. “They shouldn’t be charged with a felony. You’re going to ruin a kid’s life? Now everyone is going to look down on them. This is a small community.â€<br><br>
Opinions about the arrests were sometimes mixed within the same families.<br><br>
Jared Guilmart, a freshman at Litchfield High School, stopped at a Dunkin’ Donuts with his mother, Deb Guilmart, after school. “I think it was stupid,†Jared said, referring to the costumes, but he added that he thought the charges were justified.<br><br>
Ms. Guilmart was not so sure. “I don’t honestly know all the facts but I think it was overblown,†she said. “The school sent us a text and an email and I was like, ‘Holy cow.’ This is Litchfield.â€<br><br>
A lawyer for the second boy declined to comment on the case. One of the boys’ fathers, reached at the family’s home, said, “I’m sorry, I really have nothing to say.â€<br><br>
Mr. Moraghan said: “There was no risk of anyone being injured, assaulted or harmed. I think it was a very bad Halloween costume two kids thought of that they never thought of the consequences.â€<br><br>
He added that “both boys are so remorseful for their stupidity,†and said he worried the looming expulsion “is going to be really, really hard on both of them.â€</blockquote><br><br>
