Such a sad day

[inkman996]

I feel you Brian, my daughter goes to school in Hawleyville one town away literally 3 miles from sandy hook. Guess how I found out, an automated call to my cell telling about the school being locked down and parents need to assemble in a certain area to pick their children up WTF! I looked at CNN and nearly lost it, I knew my daughter was safe but being so damn close to this is shocking, I work in Wallingford but my children live 50% near Newtown.

Seriously any crimes against kids needs some serious punishment not just the death penalty, they need to be tortured to death long and very slow torture

One of my employees said it best when we were talking about it. I said, " I suppose the coward killed himself when he was done?" His perfect response was. "Yeah. Too bad he didn't START with himself"

That is about the best thing I heard all day, he should TM that.

Nice to see others think the same way I do.

Sad thing is this is news for a week and the world will move to something else, but those poor parents will remember this evry 14th of December for the rest of there lives.  If hell is real this guy should feel all 26 souls of heat.

I'm seriously sick of crimes against our children and we sit back and protect the criminal!!! You have got to be kidding me!!! There was a guy close by me that got caught for child porn and they want to protect this deviant by not publishing his name and putting him in a protected area in prison!!! WTF!!! These are children's lives that are being totally ruined FOREVER! And this so called justice system doesn't give a crap! Until we start chopping balls off and putting slits in their skin and pouring some acid in it its not gonna stop, this is just sickening! Sorry for the rant but enough is enough already!!!

Five year old and up are going to be the hardest to heal, the ones that witnessed this happening. Many of us here have children in these age ranges and we know kids this young do not know how to articulate their emotions and fears, the nightly terrors and social fears they will suffer some much longer than others is going to make this tragedy much more than,just thirty souls. It will be in the hundreds and many will be,scarred for their whole lives.

I cannot come to any realistic idea of what the answer is to stop this, even being a liberal to some degree I still don't think banning guns is the answer. I only can think that prevention of some,sort is and has to be the answer, all these sick individuals have something in their history, something to trigger something else to stop them or at the least keep them away from our children.

Some will cry for banning guns, others will demand fences and guards on all our schools, and others will wish every semi mentally ill person be imprisoned, none of that will ever work.

I bet we will find out this is somehow tied to the end of the world BS and prompted by the mall shooter in OR. I hope the country staysmon alert for some time because I feel deep down more sickos are going to crawl out of their holes and emulate.

Heard about it today at lunch. Sickening. I don't know what kind of person you need to be in order to murder innocent people, let alone children. I have no faith in humanity.

Glad to hear your kid is safe, Inkman. Can't even imagine the horror, being so close to the area.

We had this happen last year in Chardon ohio a city pretty close to here. My son was getting texts and tweets from his friends at the school as it was happening, reading those messages, as a parent, were absolutely terrifying. We are related to a couple of the firefighters who were on scene and I tell ya I wish I never heard their stories of what they saw it was just horrific. In some ways this is worst because a an adult did it not another kid.

These types of attrocities invoke a rage in me that I cannot describe.  Whatever punishment we could imagine putting on people who do this could not possibly be enough.  I mean 50 years of constant mental and physical torture that no man has ever endured for even a day would be enough for me to be satisfied, I'd want more.  I am a compasionate and merciful man when it comes to most crimes, but not this, this is beyond human comprehension and the punishment should be as well.

What Alan said....Up until I had my own kid something like this probably wouldn't effect me like it does now. Placing myself in those parents shoes, and those poor innocent kids is just too much to bear. Words cannot describe the anger I think most of us have right now... Just a bad bad deal for the kids, parents, teachers, and families involved.

I can't even begin to imagine what those poor families are going through.  How do they even begin to pick up the pieces?  My youngest is in pre-k and it is just too difficult to even think of such a thing .  It said he somehow got through the front security....so what is the answer?  I doubt most schools even have security ESP. Small towns.
