This has been the most tragic story since 9/11 (in my opinion). It actually saddens me to read in newspapers, watch on tv, and hear on the radio that innocent people have been killed on a college campus by a man who had a troubled past. There needs to be something done NOW! This is happening WAY to often. A school should be the safest place for anyone at any age who is learning, not a graveyard or crime scene.

Personally, I think there should be people who talk to every kid individually in school and ask them how they are. These kids could tell someone if something is troubling them so the anger or sadness won't bottle up inside and explode later on. Some of these kids need to confess about their feelings with a counsler or any adult. This May stop the violence, who knows. Or the U.S. schools should have metal detectors in them.

What do you think should be done?

wrong place.

and the netal detectors inst feasible at all.

This belongs in the red-labeled sticky above.

metal detectors are feasable. They have them in plenty of NY high schools.MCNewYork87

Haven't been paying much attention to Iraq, have you? 

Not to trivialize the situation or anything, but I think time and money would be better spent dealing with more persistent problems in the world. For example, starvation.

See, though, it's always the unusual things that get all of the attention because, well, they are unusual...

More tragic than Katrina? Tsunami in South Asia? Casulties in Iraq?

Don't you know Americans think that the average American life is worth a 1000 lives of a person in Midde-East?

Who cares if some kids got shot in a school, even if it was 100. If you want to care, start caring for places like Africa, Iraq,etc as well as places having earthquakes/tsunamis/etc. 

Wow... my ideas were pretty retarded compared to everyone elses ideas. Thanks for making me smarter everyone!:D

And I guess there were WAY more tragic things than this shooting going on in this world. You guys were totally right.

Glocks are only part plastic, the frame, is made of polymer. The rest of the weapon is made of steel.

How do i delete this useless thread then?

Um, more people have died in Iraq than in 911, isn't that more tragic?yoshi-lnex

Sure, I guess, but we shouldn't be worried about which event is more tragic, the point is that any tragic event is awful and should hopefully never happen again (which in a world full of different people with different thoughts/beliefs, is an incredibly difficult, near impossible thing to accomplish).

How do i delete this useless thread?:|WILL_423

You cannot delete a thread unless nobody has replied. Only mods can. Just stop posting in it and it will (hopefully) die.
