Please, Let It End. Another School Shooting

[mrtn]

Shhh, stop making sense like that. We need to disarm the populace so we can have the dictatorship the elite wants so badly.

My populace is quite disarmed, and I'm pretty damn thankful for it, not least for the fact that stuff like this is much less likely to happen here.

It will be very hard to blame any of those causes for this one. He was a milk delivery man who had some sort of long dispute with the Amnish.

No, it was because he had a thing with 'God' about a miscarriage. At first, he was going to molest hte girls but changed his mind when the cops arrived.

There are some sick people out there. I'm glad there wasn't anything else today, I was expecting three or four.

Shooter was no-amish. But the amish are big on hunting. They may be stuck in the past but its not that far back. The Amish also have big drug problems and rape and insest run rampent. I dated an amish girl for a few months. Trust me the Amish are far from ideal.

do you know if they use 100 year old rifles and such?

it would be cool to visit amish country and pick up a few antique rifles.

Well, I was only saying what was reported at the time. Now they are saying he had previously molested some of his own relatives and was dreaming of doing it again. So it sounds like a combination of the miscarriage and his previous molesting of girls and his urges to molest again. http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/10/03/amish.shooting/index.html

They use modern hand crafted by them fire arms. And I mean hand made metals and hand carved wood, hand filed to perfection fittings. They make works of art. The Amish are master craftsmen.

Yup, same here. Think that's likely to be the view of most (if not all) of the Europeans on this forum.

Based on the wiki entry (which is admittedly likely to focus more on American events), there are far more of these tragedies in the US than anywhere else in the developed world. If so, then, what is it about the US society which breeds far more of these people ? Or do we all have them, but ours are just unarmed ?

thats so cool. im gonna try to find something about it online.

i assume they buy their metal (raq material) from some kind of modern factory, cause if they mined it from scrached i think the quality would suck.

Good job on asking the right question. It is not the number of guns per capita, as a comparison between the US and Canada will show (as I learned from Bowling for Columbine (!) ) So we are back to your first question.

What I want to know is what the shooter was getting revenge for...

Best way to make it stop is for the media to stop giving these incidents so much attention, and making the gunmen instant celebrities.

I think the best way to stop this mess is to give children a good childhood. Everything else gets a distant 2nd.

I'm sure they buy it from the steel mill. The Amish aren't realy that closed off. There is a market a few cities away they run and sell mostly food but also craft works like quilts, wood works and other stuff. Its all very well made. The Food is great its all organic. I get grains from them that are stone ground so you can get any coursness you want. The oats and grits are just perfect. And the oldfashion hard candies with real flavours. And they sell this pretzel wrapped hot dog thing thats deep fried in lard over an open fire, man thats heaven on a stick.
