hey you texans
 

turn on the news,...big big shooting at ft hood


http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,572305,00.html


first they were sayin its 20 wounded,... now they've upped it to 30
seven dead

WOW
i'm just,...
i'm shocked

oh wow

it looks like its shapein up to be worse than i had thought

9 dead now

UPDATE: 12 dead (including gunman)

OMG...that's terrible. :( They still don't know who the shooters are do they?

I'm more appalled by the lack of correct grammer. "At an soldiers residence"

12 people are dead and you're pointing out miniscule grammatical errors, WTF is your deal?

Don't start arguing over something like this for christs sake.

In general.

I was just trying to brighten the mood, man.

America scares the crap out of me...:|

There have been school shootings in Finland

man if you just think its america,...get your head out of your ass,...its every where,...

wifey, now they are sayin the shooter was a soldier and they have two more in questioning,...

i got a text from my friend trev who was in the processing center when it happen, he is ok

i was afraid when they weren't tellin us who the shooter/s were that it was going to be military

two hand guns people,....it was just two hand guns and now we are up to 12 dead, 31 wounded


UPDATE

more than one shooting, possibly started at a near by theater

The Army really does suck that bad.

Oh man thats awful. I know some people there. I'm watching the news now.

way to be sympathetic friend.

*grammar

i'm sick,...i'm just ****in sick

army sucking or not,...

to be born into freedom is a mistake
to live in freedom is a struggle
to die in freedom is an obligation

yea the guy/s who did it are scum, but i'm not going to pretend that something like this surprises me.

i find it hard to have sympathy for those hurt/killed, and their families, considering they signed up to become killers anyways. bit of a double standard.

and the jack ass award goes too,...

uniform or not, there are people under those uniforms
i'm so thankful you live in a country that allows you to bash the military that protects that right without just shooting you for your disagreement,...

you have a problem with it, change it or shut up


edit,...
oh wait, i just figured out your canadian
and i just dont have the energy today to throw stones at your gawd damn house

I'm wondering how much this incident may have influenced the Texas one;

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8341659.stm

don't mess with texas.

interesting post
i'm sure it will be a week or better until we have explanations for anything, if we ever really do

This has been a devastating story we've been following all day from work. The death toll seemed to just keep rising. I can't imagine what must be going on there. While the military can make you crazy, there is no excuse for killing your brothers in arms.

I'm sure the Army will release a statement by the end of the day with all the details they have about the investigation. I'm sure they're not wasting time on this one.

i've been watchin fox, and they seem to have been pretty good during the press briefings, youre right i doubt they are wasting time on this

there have been some things alluded to that i am interested to see if they pan out

if any of you texans are around that area, y'all should run give some blood, scott and white will gladly take it, i'm on my way tomorrow

You're right, it is everywhere, but I think America does have a comparatively high level of crime among the developed countries.

But yea, people scare me...):

Indeed

God, thats awful.

Sorry to hear that guys! So unnecessary you know. :(

He was a Mental Health Expert? Aren't those guys supposed to prevent exactly this from happening. Irony.

they just released that the shooter isnt dead,....
the feds better not get him

What? I read on aol that he was dead as texas dirt.

then you must have missed the latest press briefing,....aol,...meh

one dude killed 30 people?

Holy fuck.

the body count is 12 with 30 wounded

He walked up to a graduation ceremony though.

Even on base, gun restrictions are fairly consistent and you're not just allowed to walk around with guns...for obvious reasons.

Sky News and ABC were reporting the same thing. But yeah, apparantly he is custody.

I don't mean to sound like a racist but, did you catch his name?

yeah...?

That is awful, I have to agree. My condolences are out to all those effected.

Perhaps I'm strange for this, but I do kind of find of weird that people are really hurt by these 12 deaths when thousands are dying in a place like Africa everyday. I know that may be a tad cliche to say, and I obviously don't mean to take any value away from the lives lost, but perhaps just curious as to why we value these lives over the thousands of others none of us say anything about. I suppose it's just that it's close to home and more personal, but death is death really.

Partly that, partly perhaps also the fact that the deaths in Fort Hood occurred as the direct result of someone's actions, especially someone that had up until that point been considered to be a part of the community. I agree that any unnecessary death is tragic but people will always feel more affected by a death that is closer to their own sphere of life.
