A gunman opened fire at a skating rink in the town of Grand Prairie, Texas, on Saturday, killing five people and injuring others before committing suicide, police said.
Too many tragedies befalling the world it feels so wrong. Human conscious is the worst thing God could have entitled men like this. Those poor people had no idea their lives were going to end today, what right did this malevolent asshat have... need to flip on some jazz, news has seriously been bumming me out
This kind of thing drives you deeper into yourself. You never see where homeless shelters helped 30 or 40 people in need. The good is never as prominent as the bad, thus the news only makes you more and more sad
Why do you imagine that is? I don't think crimerate has gone up since our parents were our age, or maybe even before that? I sometimes believe the media has just been inclined to expose more and more breaking coverage lately, darker news intended to put us on end and fearful. What else is on *sigh
@SmoothJammin: It was just as bad in our parents time but we have far more access to information now and it makes it seem worse but actually we are just seeing more of the true awful nature of our species
This is pretty close to where I live. At a kids birthday party from my understanding. And this is why we conceal carry ......people are crazy.
I was wondering why that particular thing did not come into play, he offed himself yet no citizen took a shot..
You can't "legally" carry into a place that charges admission. I've had conversations with my own wife. "Why are you carrying a gun, we're going to a birthday party."
gotta carry heat with you these days... people are too crazy... you don't know what folks are going to do... gotta be ready for anything like a Cajun on Swamp People... :P
Bad thing about that is the some (and I say some so I'm not havin anybody sink their fangs into my rear, hear?) people packin heat are just as bad as the legitimately crazy people. Get their hands on a gat and don know how t'act.

well, She is probably worried you'd get hurt or mistaken for a criminal by police yourself upon arriving on the scene of such an incident. I see your side of it too though.
This is going to sound callous and cynical (and perhaps it is), but I don't think that such acts are indicative of some horrific trend in human immorality. There have always been twisted beings who, for whatever reason, feel the need to perpetrate seemingly random violence upon others. The only difference now is that they have the technology to do so (in the old days, if you wanted to go on a killing spree, you had to have a certain degree of strength or skill), and we have the technology to find out about it almost instantaneously.
