Title: School shooting in Chardon Post by: Vosem on February 27, 2012, 09:30:31 PM What really disturbs me about this case, besides the obvious, is how close it happened; of the 5 wounded students (1 of whom later died), 2 went to Hillcrest Hospital, where my great-grandfather lived for a month, and 3 to MetroHealth Medical Center, where my father works (though he's gotten today, and tomorrow off, so he did not personally treat the shot).
Thankfully, I didn't personally know the shooter or any of the victims. Really sad, though. Title: Re: School shooting in Chardon Post by: CLARENCE 2015! on February 27, 2012, 09:33:37 PM Terrible... Lord be with the fallen and their families

People really need to get over themselves and face up to the fact that the world is full of vagina and / or penis.

It's really horrible that this happened and it goes to show that a shooting can happen anywhere, not just a rough inner-city school or a super-rich suburban one but even a sleepy little town like Chardon.

It looks like these 3 countries account for about 95% of all school shootings on the planet, with the US killers being responsible for about 80% of them.

Why are all the women being held hostage in some basement Austrian? :) Title: Re: School shooting in Chardon Post by: Tender Branson on February 28, 2012, 02:11:09 PM Why does this stuff always happen in the US ?

In Germany, Poland, the US, Argentina etc. Title: Re: School shooting in Chardon Post by: Zarn on February 28, 2012, 02:17:37 PM Tender is right. Austria is also over-blamed for dictators.
Title: Re: School shooting in Chardon Post by: Kaine for Senate '18 on February 28, 2012, 07:24:38 PM Apparently the victims were randomly chosen by the shooter - no pattern a la Columbine. I cannot decide if that is more disturbing, because of the randomness, or less disturbing. I'm leaning towards more disturbing.
