10 Children killed in school shooting in Brazil

http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/americas/04/07/brazil.school.shooting/index.html?hpt=T2

What is going on with all these school shootings? Seems like they are becoming more and more common throughout the world. Recently been several in China as well.

Once people start doing it, other equally disturbed individuals realize they can do the same.

Yep, there are always copycats after one happens.

Ah, man. This world. :(

Who knows why they do it? To exact revenge I suppose. Somehow in their mind the killing of others somehow equates to the same level of suffering they have 'endured' in life, at school, or whatever. Excessively emo to the point of insanity.

I just don't understand the mindset of someone that would go out and shoot kids. I know people can snap, but why go after kids?

I'm glad I live in Sweden.

Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff said she was "shocked" by the attack and had "great concern" about the incident.

Where did they go?

Who?

The video games that did this!

Only in America. They must have been playing too much GTA. And yeah I don't know why this is shocking either. People should expect there's a chance a violent shooting will unfold when they send their son or daughter off to school.UCF_Knight

we have fire drills in schools all the time

and yet there hasnt been a death in school due to a fire since like 1880

we dont have drills if there were a shooting

lots of people have died from school shootings

schools need to invest in some sort of protection... not just relying on cops to get there

every second counts when a school shooting happens

Also I think it's important for a self defense program, so the children/teachers can stay safe. I think thats the best option. I think allowing teachers to carry guns around is a bit farAlso teachers should never use violence towards a child to set a good example. Emotionally disturbed children/kids who have been bullied should also get help.

Guns are innaccessible to civilians in civilized countries.jiggaleroy

Reading up on the shooter, he sounds like a manic-depressive shut-in that wanted to go out as a somebody. Yet another pathetic loser taking others down with him.

Yea but in GTA you dont go around shooting school children.

[QUOTE="jiggaleroy"]Guns are innaccessible to civilians in civilized countries.Verge_6

Speaking of the U.S. in general, there have been less school shootings today than 50 years ago. So why does it seem there's more today? The media.

News like this shouldn't be announced on OT, it serves no purpose. Very sad news.metalguitar13

Well now its good to be informed, nothing wrong with that now. It willmotivatemore kids to lift weights/learnselfdefense.

Since you can bench press the proper weight I suggest you take out humans instead.

Or the fact that most people don't exactly recall events from fifty years as well as those which occurred an hour ago.
