Colorado 'batman' shooting?

I do not agree with ignoring the possibility of mental illness either, it certainly should be considered especially if it is a factor. My issue is more how the mainstream media just jumps on that and then passes of their speculations as the 'real' story.

And do you mean everyone generalizes or has made that specific generalization? I agree everyone generalizes, but I know I do not generalize mentally ill people as being more prone to violence.

Also most mentally ill people don't have an intention to hurt people to prove a point either...I wont deny creating chaos is possible though, but typically its not intentional its more a result of symptoms at least in my experience. How one was brought up and raised as well as general social and environmental factors can all play a role and yes there are the genetic factors that determine ones default state before the environment effects them.

But yeah if westboro comes here I doubt they will stay long...no one would accommodate their stay or serve them food and if any businesses did I imagine they would be boycotted. At least I hope that is what would happen.

 

Was he on ""Bath Salts"?

 

Obviously. No one does anything out of the ordinary until the get their first whiff of bath salts, then it's time to eat a face. :devil:

 

Brings a whole new meaning to "Steal the face right off your head"

 

yes.. in a 1000pc puzzle.. they are 1 piece mixed in with the other 999 bad pieces that make up the Christian puzzle

 

Military fatalities in the middle east in recent days has been on a huge increase in the recent past, over a hundred killed in the past week alone. With all of this the lead puppet man of the US government has the gull to fly to Colorado and say that the use of violence is unacceptable and disgusting. I don't believe the President of the United States has any right to attempt to bring comfort to those effected by this most recent spree shooting as he has ordered much more collateral death than the fool with the mop of orange hair ever could.

 

can we take a rifle to him and his stupid ass cocky smile?

 

Comparing what is going on in the middle east and what happened in Colorado is a huge stretch and not an apples to apples comparison.

Nobody needs a right to show compassion to others.

 

Comparing the murder of 14 people in Colorado to the murder of hundreds if not thousands of lives snuffed out and counted only as collateral damage by US. You say that it is a stretch to compare American casualties with that of middle eastern casualties caused by indiscriminate violence what is the difference in your opinion?

I stated more or less that in a rational world having the leader of the planets largest death machine and a man that has approved of the tactics used in Iraq such as carpet bombing at length and indiscriminately may be seen as less a show of compassion and more of a publicity stunt and a morbid use of tragedy to further their own agenda.

 

so apparently before he went and shot up everyone, he wrote a letter to his school psychiatrist describing everything he was planning on doing...the letter didn't get there until Monday.

 

So?

 

I am aware you didn't asked me but in my opinion it seems you could do with some nuancating skills. Besides that they are both indiscriminating cases of violence everything is different in these two examples. From motives to the people who committed the killings. Yes, you can compare everything if you want but yes it is a stretch.

 

The hospitals said they will be limiting or wiping out the costs for those injured in the shooting....


Hospitals wipe out medical bills for injured

 

I was not aware that the Colorado suspect had given a motive as of yet.

 

I think it's safe to assume he didn't riot there for some oil or political influence.

 

Fair enough, however sending a politician who believes carpet bombing civilians is a legitiment tactic in winning a war for their supposed freedom seems to me to be in poor taste to say the least. Add to the fact that the killing spree takes apparent media and political precedence over killings sanctioned and approved by Obama in Afghanistan and Iraq and as per usual the hypocrisy of having a man who signs orders for mass murder preaching about the horror and impotence of violence coasts unchallenged do to the fact that to critique his appearance in Colorado would be considered in bad taste do to how recently the murders have happened.

Perhaps if Anders Breivik was sent there to speak to the victims the ridiculousness of having a murderer condemning another murderers actions would become more clear to the public at large.

 

and all this talk of gun control, lets get rid of the tv's and that will keep me from being violent.

 

I get what rude is saying. A country that perpetuates violence every day by sending our youth to not only die but to participate in some pretty gruesome murders overseas is a bit hypocritical to denounce violence that occurs on u.s. soil.

 

I noticed his point as well and yes it is kind of valid but on the other hand comparing such different massacres in a generalizing way because of the sparse similarities is in the end just very pointless.
