He was charged with no crime yet still expelled from school???
What he did didnt make him a terrorist, had he had any violent history?
What about "innocent until proven guilty"

It's happened again only 6 months after the last shooting:

It seems to be happening so often in America it's become normal. No doubt it will continue until the draconian "Right to bear arms" is removed from their constitution.
What I find most bizarre is no politician is willing to try and change the law. They're all quite content to say how sad it is yet at the same time do sweet FA to stop it. Because it's every American's right to blow the shit out of each other
Their sadness means squat. You could say they're as bad as the person who fires the pistol.

A country with sooo many people, I am suprised it does not happen more often with soo many guns and loonies in the US of A.
Thing is things like this happen every day in Africa etc.. and hundreds die, does not even get on the news at all, even when they are child murders. Thats pathetic.

No more so than any other country.

Agreed it doesn't get mentioned and should. American news always get way too much coverage comparatively so.
But you're wrong they don't happen every day (I'd imagine), far from it. The reasons behind American and African gun crime is very different.

There's been another shooting:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7129906.stm
8 people shot dead in Nebraska. It's becoming a regular occurrence. I think this is the fourth mass shooting this year alone.
America is a great country but boy Americans are so dumb when it comes to their gun laws. All they ever do is fire fight instead of dealing with the fundamental flaws with their laws. The most absurd thing is most Americans would still fight any changes to the law.

Yeah i just read about the shooting.
Ah well...
With over 300.000.000 people, some are bound to be loonies.
And yeah, dont touch their guns.
I can understand why they wouldnt want to give it up, as they are kept scared all the time, plus 99% of the people can deal with that responsibility... but myeah... accidents do happen and fights are being finished with bullets instead of words...
It's a difficult subject.

It is a weird state of affairs how scared many Americans actually are. Statistically America is a far safer place to live than Europe from Terrorism.
Even to this very day many are waiting for another terrorist attack yet Germany (attempted), Spain and the UK have all had their own terrorist attacks and people very quickly picked themselves up and went back to work.
