There's a picture there of one of the children from the school. He's just sobbin in his mothers arms

I coach kids this age. Te thought of anyone doing this to BABIES is just heartbreaking. The thoughts of their terror is just killing my soul. I read an interview with one of the year 1 teachers who couldn't lock the door so shoved a bookcase in front of it and just kept telling the kids she loved them because she wanted that to be the last thing they heard and I'm a fucking mess.

I gave all my kids a hug today when I got to the game.

I don't know if I believe in hell but today I hope so because I want this scumbag to be in so much fucking agony right now. I want him suffering.

I don't believe in hell, but I believe in karma and reincarnation. Whatever his next life will be, he will pay for what he's done.

I am glad I believe in hell in circumstances like this.

This was pretty much my exact reaction. *sigh* Fuck everything just about sums it up.

All of this. Just... fuck it. It's ridiculous that this country cannot have an adult conversation and approach to the topic on the basis of an amendment that was written back when muskets took time to load and fired two shots at best at one time.

This. By all means, let every adult in America own and carry a musket. But let's have a little more regulation on the automatics and semi-automatics. I sincerely doubt the founding fathers would have left the Second Amendment so broad if they had foreseen the advances in firearm technology and massacres like this.

Not just the advances in weaponry, but also survival hunting becoming obsolete, the frontier being completely subsumed, and the nation becoming rich and influential enough to have a standing army.

Tbf there are still parts of the country where hunting is the source of affordable protein in some seasons. That said, the gear they need to get venison isn't anything like what this guy had.

This is the first thing I've found today that sums up exactly how all of this makes me feel. weird. I almost feel better after reading it. But still fucking awful, of course, but it's good to have the feelings in words, even if it's mostly just "how the fuck" and "..."

That's how I felt too. They had another piece titled "Report: Okay to Spend Rest of Day Curled in Fetal Position under Desk" that really hit home.
