Even more disgusting. It is my wish that the shooter survive and live the rest of his life as a paraplegic with no hope. But death is a suitable second option.

At least he knew it was wrong, though.

Come on, think about the nurse who would have to take care of him. I wouldn't want to be that person

Yeah. Me neither.

If he wasn't fired, that reporter and cameraman wouldn't have been killed.

Hey, so I got two extra codes for the Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 beta if anyone wants one. Microsoft is still having issues getting all the codes to work, but there is a very simple workaround where you just submit the code online at Xbox.com and change the country to Brazil or you can change the setting on the Xbox.

It would save a lot of time and energy if he died. Instead they'll spend thousands of dollars to save his life, only to lock him away for the rest of it.

So you blame the news agency?

They didn't do anything to provoke this.

Killers are always taking the stupid way out by taking their own lives.

Obviously if only the victims had guns they could have protected themselves

Sarcasm aside, it's scary to think that your life could be snuffed out in an instant with no indication of it possibly happening, and no indication that the perpetrator is even considering it. This man said he was a time bomb and when his limit was reached, he was going to accomplish his task.

Much as I stray from my conservative leanings when it comes to gun control (I think more can be done without totally shredding the 2nd amendment), I don't personally believe a longer wait time, limitations on gun show purchasing, and more scrutinizing background checks would have helped here.

No, carrying a firearm in this instance would not have saved them. I think there are instances where it would have made a difference for some (like in the theater shootings). It's like walking a tightrope between freedom to protect you and your family, and limiting access to those with criminal intent. I don't know where that happy medium is. But this type of thing really needs to cause us concern that we aren't there yet.

Scary stuff.

Network effects and fear have given us this obsession. I think we need huge improvements in our social infrastructure on the generational scale. Starting with education and public schools. Continuing with exposure to different experiences and cultures, a food system that makes it easier for everybody to be healthy, and pathways to opportunity. We can't attack a symptom of a social ill and expect everything to be fixed. It's going to take cooperation and planning and money and a wide view that considers mass consequences.
