Our Hearts and Prayers for the Families in Conneticut

[msmaron]

We are so saddened to hear about this senseless act of shooting by this maniac...Words cannot express the feeling of hearing that 18 children were executed by this creature... Our Hearts and prayers to all the families and victims of this atrocity!

[zzlegend]

So right Mark.

There was just a shooting near Portland, killing two innocents in a shopping mall. And today, this. I weep for all those victims and their families. There is a deep sickness in many people out there that is beyond comprehension.

Murders 1st at his home, then to the school, and kills in the principal office, then down the hall to his MOTHERS Kindergarten class, Kills her then KILLS and I mean Executes all the kids!! His mommy issues should have been recognized, the best part was he blew his brains out... Horendous day in America....we have so much hate it is repulsive!

Yes, 20 children and 6 adults (I refuse to count the shooter - this was not a life lost, it's a monster gotten rid of) plus, unconfirmed, another adult relative of the shooter.

The flag outside my office is at half-staff and will remain so for the foreseeable future - the least that can be done to honor all the victims, not just those who passed.

All the best to the families, friends, communities - the entire country.

Hug your family an extra time tonight.

Respectfully,

I have family in Newtown. I hope none of my cousin's grandkids were in there.

Seeing this on TV just before lunch today I really lost my apetite. I forced myself to eat thinking that my oldest Grandson is only a year younger than those kids. Hard to beleive anyone would take out there agressions on someone so young. I was unable to follow the updates the rest of the day as I was in signing papers and finalizing things with the new job I was offered. Hard to think straight after seeing what was shown and talked about. I will be praying for the families of those kids for a long time. Rod

To close to home. I pray for all the victims and their families.

I also am praying for the victims and their families and hoping this doesn't "scar" the rest of the kids for life.


The only good thing is that the shooter is dead and the country won't have to put up with a charade trial where he gets to plead not guilty and a sham trial lasts years. JMO

My cousin lives in Sandy Hook. I worry. clem

[sunnyorm]

when the right to carry is taken away from the principal and the teachers (who might have lessened the toll), there lies some of the blame. Prayers for the victims friends and relatives.

My great grandson and great grand daughter just got back to school a few days ago after losing their father, and today their teacher needed to tell her class about some sick sob who shot up kids in a school where they should feel perfectly safe. What the hell is happening to our society? My family will need to do some real intense work to help them try to understand why someone could do such a heinous act, and I'm not sure we can answer their questions. My prayers go out to the families of Newtown to try to put all their lives back together again.

[Roadster62]

Prayers going out to all the families that will never be the same.

[rossofozini]

Thank god we have very restricted gun laws in Australian and its not the norm to have a gun. The right to carry! I would rather the right to be safe!

My thought are with the family's, very sad.

Respectfully, We have an ill society with many factors making worldwide comparisons pretty useless. We also have a lot more diversity than other countries have, which also raises statistic markers in any country no matter what ethnicities are mixing. I'm not saying that had anything to do with yesterday but if you're trying to throw out blanket statistics or statements about what is safe and what is not it is really not so clear. You might not be as safe as you think, and in Austrialia you still do have violent crime issues, but maybe not as prevalent social issues like proliferation of violent media, video games, and advertising or the same social values and norms. Austrialia's gun control was in reaction to your own massacre and you're nieve to think that such an atrocity can't happen again in your country because of a law. Nobody is completely safe. Love, understanding and compassion are the best prevention. Ok now I'm thinking about Ryan and what a nice forum and community he has created and backing off the politics. Yesterday was a sick and awful tragedy worthy of prayers and not a political platform.

[Mitch Bunkin in PA]

My heart goes out to everyone affected. The only good that can possibly come out of this tragedy is if it inspires the rest of us to continue to be decent and honorable to all and more loving than ever to those we feel closest to.

Evil can strike at any moment in any place

Murdering 20 children while they are at the safest place - school

It defies logic

It challenges our compassion

My youngest daughter is seven

We are spending the day together

God Bless all Children
