Great, now the parinoid in American will start calling for even more security to take away even more of our freedoms. Anyone ever read the book 1984? Welcome to the beginning of the end.

''I blame our economy, the loss of all our good paying jobs, that allowed parents to work a 40 hour week and devote time to their families.'' BY MCvet.

You can''t be serious, we still have good paying jobs, you know the ones requiring some more than a high school education. If you would like to go beyond that and go to grad school then one''s prospects for getting a job that pays in excess of $100k is pretty good if they did good in grad school. Really, the jobs are fine, stop asking for every loser to be a winner when they are not willing to do anything about it themselves. It is rather tiring to hear the same BS excuse. Numerous people in this country have went from lowest to highest economic rungs in just one generation because the parents pushed their kids and blamed themselves instead of others. Your neighbors are merely giving their kids more excuses, the likely end result is they''ll end up living the rest of their life that way as losers that always blame somebody else for their own loser life.

In my book Where Freedom Reigns, published three years ago, a disaffected young man in Omaha shot and killed seven people before turning the gun on himself. It was one more tragic incident cited in the heated national debate over gun control that ultimately led America into a Second Civil War. See www.WhereFreedomReigns.com

When a terrorist or other homicidal nutcase decides to murder innocent people at a school, at a shopping mall, or some other public place, the only thing that can possibly stop them early is a responsible armed citizen or security guard.
The police will take minutes to arrive once they are called and by then it will be too late.
Your own personal safety is your responsibility, not the government or the police. If your state allows concealed carry, get educated, get trained, and get prepared:

If we should feel sorry for him, we should also feel sorry for the 19 year old in the street gang. How many people are blaming society for Sean Taylor''s killers?

These things happen all the time in our inner cities and nobody seems to care. It''s only a matter of time before the problems in the inner cities become a problem in the suburbs. If we let it happen to any child, we put risk of it happening to any child.

People need to wise up and stop thinking these things don''t happen here. Why shouldn''t it?

And CBS is doing its part to make it happen.

I am not trying to be a wise guy but they need to start profiling some of these White boys! These young men are not sick at all! They know exactly what they are doing!

Too many sick people out there. And their favorite toy is fireweapons. And gun manufacturers always find their way with presidents and congress, and also with judges and state legislatures and governors. And innocent people pay. . . with their lives. Well, nothing to be surprised about, most states in our nation have the capital punishment, and the federal government, too. And we brag about how advanced we are and even try to sell our image abroad! What an ex-empire?

How do we deal with this? How do we deal with kids who feel it''s necessary to do things like this to be noticed? I blame our economy, the loss of all our good paying jobs, that allowed parents to work a 40 hour week and devote time to their families. My neighbor down the street works two jobs and his wife works full time just to make up for a job he had before the "Trickle Down" people came along. His kids are beginning to cause trouble and are in trouble in school a lot these days.
