News Conference - Shooting at Northern Illinois university

[meowcat121]

yay british people! i forgot when this happened =[ (i wasnt there, but i may be soon!)

[iloveallecchianime]

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD LOL

[Deathfromthedoghouse]

if you are drunk and you have a fork or a knife in your hands, you could stabb a person to death, so. Wanna blame something? Blame the humanrace. The humanrace is the core of every problem on this planet and therefore responsible for every shitty thing that happens.

[fugdesickles]

dude its so true we are a disease on this planet. we are poisining it with all our factories and technology its sickening and

the human race has advanced so far yet we are still sick animals who seemingly have no concious

[joeyadler2266]

ur retarded

[mysticphilly]

I have nothing against guns...Owned a couple myself. But look at what COULD happen. You get drunk, have the gun on your person. Someone starts a brawl....you wake up with a hangover and in a cell at the county jail. Think about that.

[mysticphilly]

Obviously we all have differences in opinions. Some want to carry around guns thinking they'll solve everything, others blame it on types of religion. New slate, all the bull wiped clean... Put aside cost, quit pointing fingers and blaming people, beliefs, and things. We as parents, need to find a way of keeping our children safe without all that bull. Lets make people hear us, by media by bulletin posts, something. Our children have a tiny voice in this government...Lets make it LOUDER.

[okla03]

bull? how about bullshit.that sounds better. but ur right.

[amberanddave]

its just good population control, theres to many americans i hope theres more like this notice it rarely happens anywhere else, its built into an americans dna to kill other life so im glad when stuff like this happens and i bet within the next year there will be anouther one

[mysticphilly]

You have it wrong, us HUMAN BEINGS, have it in our nature to kill and destroy life no matter our race, country, or beliefs. The greatness or other feelings of the countries we live in or are against, are all the matter of opinion. In other countries, they commit suicide in the name of their god, they kill innocent people, family, friends, some eat their pets. None of it is right. If you are saying that what the gunmen did was right, you are no better then the murderer himself.

[okla03]

eat their pets? haha! but yeah, its a natural part of the human brain. its our nature.

[mysticphilly]

I am a mother of a 14 month old little boy. As of now, because of all the shootings, I am planning on home schooling him when he is to start school. How are we supposed to protect our children, how can we put their lives into others hands, trusting them to protect our children. It's not just medicated people, or bullied outcasts, anyone is capable. An over worked, underappreciated teacher or staff member, the principal...anyone. It's just a matter of what we can do to keep it from happening.

[lolkid5000]

wait where is it plz don be in calgay plz

[ilovehollycombs]

ITS THE MEDICATION!!!

america is the most medicated country in the world!!!

u give ur kids drugs for fuckin EVERYTHING!!

u go to get a tooth cleaned, and they put u under anesthesia! THATS fucked up!

notice the last 4 shootings, each of the kids were on medication!!!

[jimgolt]

The liberals want to take away guns, so only the murderers can have weapons. There are many different illegal ways to get a gun dont you this some1 of this nature would get a gun the illegal way?

If we had strict background checks, 200 hours traininng and go through a class and pass a class people should beable to have a concelled weapon. Even if this person would pass the background check he may of taken one person before someone could of killed him.

[DarknessUnresolved]

I'm willing to bet the Polish son-ov-a-bitch was a damn CHRISTIAN too! Christianity is the REAL problem here!

[ilovehollycombs]

"I'm willing to bet the Polish son-ov-a-bitch was a damn CHRISTIAN too! Christianity is the REAL problem here!"

ALL religion is the problem!

a world without religion is a world of peace!

[DarknessUnresolved]

Well yes, but CHRISTENDOM is the worst!

[Ans20]

This is some scary shit.

To know that you're not safe even in school anymore. I live in Canada and believe this could happen anywhere.

What's happening to the world. Innocent people dying, people going on shooting rampages. It's absolutely disgusting.

My heart goes out to all the families of the deceased, the University and the State as a whole.

[sarahj99usa]

I think your video is very thought provoking. I watched your other video on the history of Islam, it was interesting. I think others should watch it. It defunks a lot of the nonsense there is about islam

[Chuckylee]

you better get you a gun...cause now days people are just getting in schools and shooting people that aren't armed...that's the only solution...get a gun license and get to a gun range and practice...I guess you never know when were going to be in a shoot out!...you might to believe in guns but innocent people are dying and the cops don't get there fast enough...I rather have it and not need it then to need it and not have it....get a pistol cause its heading back to the western days

[ilovehollycombs]

"you better get you a gun...cause now days people are just getting in schools and shooting people that aren't armed..."

NO THEY ARE NOT!

u thing this fuckin kid cared if u had a gun or not!?!?

what, would he have been scared if they students DID have gun!?!? NO! because CLEARLY he killed himself! so he wasnt scared of death.

even if the students were allowed to carry guns, u think he still wouldnt have killed people!?!?

it takes 10 seconds to shoot 10 people!

[civitates]

The real cause lies in our culture...just read all the violent and hateful comments written by pricks below. You'll understand what a bunch of self-centered and spoilt psychos the American youth are! Learn to appreciate each other and be considerate, so we can build a caring community where every one is treasured! Only by that will we be able to prevent such tragedies to happen in the future.

[mysticphilly]

OK, some of your comment was very true but at the beginning you sounded just like the people you were pointing out. Next time for better results, don't name call and people will take you seriously

[Itsmekarly]

r.i.p

[LadyArgonaut]

p.s.. im not saying its OK to kill yourself or that you should. But damn if thats what you feel like doing well... just don't do this kinda shit alright?

[LadyArgonaut]

my sister is a graduate from NIU... this is sick. This is happening all over america. Its almost like a trend. I understand if you have problems but guess what? WE ALL HAVE PROBLEMS. Some worse then others but regardless- Either get help and take your meds. Or just kill yourself if you really want to... dont burden other people. rip<33 Don't be so fucking selfish.

[InternetGangstress]

The problem with America is people don't have morals, I believe this is the best country and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else but you have to stay on your guard because just when you think people can't be any more fucked up they do something like this...and then some other crazy bastard wants to copy cat and do the crazy shit again!

[brq34unh]

why do we all have guns?

[WillBackbone]

Now I always conceal and carry a weapon and I will continue to. If someone like this started shooting where I was at I would have a chance a good one. I practice my shooting skills at least once per month and I am an excellent marksman. If he didn't kill me first I would put the odds at 3/1 in favor of me and I would be able to save lives. Get your gun permit/license now and carry a weapon. Learn to use it and practice over and over. Be prepared for crazy people like this.

[ozzcrue]

Id like to but Wisconsin and Illinois are the only two states left that don't allow law abiding citizens to legally carry. We both have liberal governors that dont give a shit about the rights of people to defend themselves. I carry illegally when I work my weekend job as a pizza driver. I only wish I could do it legally but my safety is more important than some liberal assholes anti-gun agenda.

[WillBackbone]

so true the stats on CC people commiting crimes is very low. You always hear about gun accidents but the liberal media wont tell you when someone uses a gun to save their lives. One of these attacks is going to happen one day and someone with a weapon is going to kill the gunman and wait to see what negative spin the lib media puts on it

[mizgeministarz]

You said it, man...totally agree. Wisconsin is trying its best to be just like IL. I moved to WI from IL 4 years ago to get away from the liberal bull, looks like Alaska is the next option.

[julesrules78]

He LEGALLY bought two guns! That's why the American government is retarded! Legally, you're allowed to purchase guns and they wonder why they're so many murders in the US?? Duhhh! Wake up morons!! Guns should be illegal!!

[Megabuttkicker]

Lmao

Canada is really safe im telling you

[Ochronic]

your a dumb fuck, if we didn't have the right to bear arms, there would be nothing keeping the government in check with the people, and guns aren't the problem, if we didn't have guns there would be something else that people would use to kill, people think.. "ohh the government would never take away our rights, were fine" but when we lose our guns and theres nothing stopping them if they did hypotheticly. all I know is the gov. can have my gun when they pry it from my cold dead fuckin fingers.

[Ochronic]

also, theres really not as many murders as u think, your probably just a gullible fuck that watches the news and believes everything they say. you need to learn to filter the media, most of its slanted one sided shit, and all they do is try to scare you into believing shits true, news is always about rape murder or some sort of tragedy, rarely is it anything positive. fear tactics to make u grip your remote tightly and watch their bullshit so they get good ratings.

[freedomsadvocate07]

All of these school shooters were on meds when they snapped. Look it up.

[Reaper206]

It all starts with one shooting then other kids get the idea is what i think.

[nightterrors1]

Reaper206, I agree 100%. This will get so much media attention for quite awhile. This gives the attention these lunatics are looking for. Just wait, after all this media attention, it will not be too long before this happens again.

The news is just broadcasting how effective this is to go shooting in public.

[Luckyplayer95]

They have to report this,moron.If they dont report this,I bet you would be screaming "why not",you moron.

[RoyalReap3r]

ilovehollycombs....dude your a fuckin dumbass seriously...why the fuck would the media be all to blame. lmfao SO WHAT people get ideas ALL THE TIME...so what people are gonna get ideas...its just something that you have to look away at. if your a dumbass and get an idea from this AND end up doing it...lol you have to think about 3 things

1 - either you kill yourself out of it

2 - go to jail for the rest of your life

3 - be smart-dont do it at all

no reason to do it...you will fuk up your life

[LawMal]

I'm a native Chicagoan in my early 40's. Remember when you worried about getting shot outside of school if the school was in a bad area? Wow have times changed. Only 10-20 years ago, you could feel safe in school. I also recall the worse that could happen if you teased someone was getting beat up or cursed out. Boy are those days gone!

[freedomsadvocate07]

All of these school shooters were on prozac when they snapped. Look it up.

[titansfangrl]

i only live 40 minutes away from there. a lot of kids from my high school go there. its so scary to think that something this scary can happen so close to home. you always think that it happens to someone else. but unfortunately, we're all someone else to someone else.

[Auriex]

They were just fucking kids. I don't understand this. At 19 or 20 you have more to look forward to than any other time. I don't understand people

Hug your family and friends close people

[Chuckylee]

they need to allow teachers to carry pistols...or let everyone bare arms cause this is rediculous...if someone starts shooting everybody can pull they gat out and blast they ass!...lol...i'm in college right now and i see i'm going to have to start packing my pistol cause i be damn if i'm going to die in a boring lecture!

[Chuckylee]

I know blacks kill one another but at least they kill whoever they're after...come on white america stop getting mad at the world and shooting innocent people that don't even know you...i blame it on the media..they air this stuff on the news and people get ideas..V tech..now look...followers...i'm taking online classes!

[jwolfie422]

Get a clue. Race has nothing to do with this. The race card should stay in the deck sometimes. Stop your pathetic complaining.

[ilovehollycombs]

"blame it on the media.they air this stuff on the news and people get ideas!"

typical american blaming problems on media.

the shit is on europeans tvs, and asians tvs, and they dont do shit like this! cmon! 4 shootings in america in a week!!

its the medications! americans are WAY overly medicated!

like cmon! they put u to sleep to take a fucki n tooth out! in europe thats the LAST resort! considering euthanasia can have DIRE consequences for eg.

[jwolfie422]

you're an idiot

[pulsecat]

Not understanding the ending, what's your point?

[Kaleb34]

i hate the fact that..like..it just makes me angry how cowardly someone is that even if they are depressed even if they are sick in the head that they have to kill other innocent people....what..what the hell is wrong with people now.

[ilovehollycombs]

"i hate the fact that..like..it just makes me angry how cowardly someone is that even if they are depressed even if they are sick in the head that they have to kill other innocent people....what..what the hell is wrong with people now."

ya! and they all end up killing themselves anyway!

so why not just kill urself, you dont gotta kill other people around you! grrr

[SocietalGrudge]

nothing is wrong with people we just have a sound track now. this guy put in drowning pool - let the bodies hit the floor :D

[mysticphilly]

You sick Bastard! This has to do with a video where a man killed 7 people...people who had a lot going for them, Not about some stupid song that glorifies or gives detailed imagery nor does it have to do with your lack of empathy and cold heartedness.

[SocietalGrudge]

maybe you'll find out it does some day

[mariopizzolon]

this attacks are crazy...let's have peace

[chewbaca1989]

Psych Meds: the common denominator to shootings is Psych Meds.

Pseudo science of Psychiatry is stigmatizing young folks and driving them mad.

Pharmacies are making a KILLING medicating people with "mental disease".

MOMS YOUR KIDS AREN'T CRAZY, THEIR KIDS!

Do not medicate! All Hogwash!

OUTLAW PSYCH MEDS!

[Timesobserver]

It's a shame that this happened. But I've heard many people want to take all guns away, believing that guns don't help people. That's wrong and people use guns everyday to protect themselves. I've written about it at:

timesobserver DOT blogspot DOT com

[Kalsingh]

God help those affected by the shooting. RIP those that are no longer with us. :(

[marymonk]

I was so saddened by this horrific event. Matt Lauer in his interview of the two male students who witnessed the shooting, brought up an excellent point. THE FACT THAT MOST CLASSROOMS ONLY HAVE ONE ENTRY AND EXIT MAKING IT VERY EASY FOR A GUNMAN TO CONTROL THE ROOM AND DO ALOT DAMAGE IN VERY LITTLE TIME. they should pass legislature which requires an exit door every maybe 10 feet for example with a minimum of maybe four exits per classroom.

[wytkracka]

what a amazing idea! amazingly idiotic, great, you're going cost millions of taxpayer dollars or raise tuition to ungodly amounts (as if it isn't already) with a knee-jerk feel good countermeasure for a "problem" that's about less likely to happen as dying falling off of your bed. How about a law to require guard rails on all beds? Or banning all bodies of water? since you're about twice as likely to die from drowning.

[marymonk]

Im sure the kids who died and their families would feel the cost of some doors would be a lot easier to pay for than the loss of their family members. And as a mother of four boys i would certainly pay more taxes to insure a safer classroom.

[wytkracka]

right, install more doors, so they bring some chains and lock them, ban the guns and they'll make a firebomb, jerk your knee, jerk your knee, jerk your knee, HOORAY FOR PLACEBOS! especially the ones I can force other people to pay for with their taxes. Nothing short of living in a police state getting cavity searched several times a day with tom cruise kicking down your door everytime the thought police find out you get mad at someone will make some people happy.

[wytkracka]

Bad things happen, it's called life. you can't legislate all the bad stuff away without losing more of the good things, like the ability to talk on the phone without anyone listening in. empower the people to defend themselves, quit looking to the government to babysit you.

[wytkracka]

Oh wait, are we allowed to argue with you since you have kids? what if the family of one of the victims thought so? would we be forced to agree with them as well? "I'm right because it's for the kids" "I'm right because I'm a victim" "My husband died in a terror attack so I'm an expert"

[marymonk]

i never said anything about not being allowed to argue. or i'm right b/c i have kids, im simply saying...what would you suggest we do. you have yet to do anything but criticise others and be nasty while you do it.

[wytkracka]

I told you two things already......

1) there's nothing you really can do, bad people do bad things, and any reactive countermeasure anyone comes up with either results in either a loss of liberty or a waste of money. I didn't say don't add doors because it's cheaper not to, I said don't add it because it's cost would be exorbitant and it won't work.

2) Allow law abiding citizens to defend themselves, there's an all inclusive term for the law abiding citizen in a gun free zone, it's "victim".

[marymonk]

i think i'll agree to disagree. We're obviously very different people.

[marymonk]

Well, what do suppose we do ... nothing b/c its cheaper. its easy to criticise, what would you suggest.

[mysticphilly]

I agree...I am a mother of a 14 month old boy. I would pay any tax to make the schools safer. Money for a good cause is better than money spent to bury our children. I am sure many parents would agree.

[wytkracka]

you mean you would force the rest of society to pay a tax to pay for a useless bill that amounts to putting a bandaid on a broken leg. there is nothing more dangerous than a person that has nothing to lose, replace the entire walls of the classrooms with doors and if some nut job wants to kill the students they'll still find a way.

[mysticphilly]

If it means not putting my son in the ground before me yeah! The nut job could be your child, your child's teacher...doesn't matter. As I said in another bulletin, people don't listen to a cry for help until they hear he sound of a gun shot...but at that moment, it's too late. We can take steps without asking for money. But if a bill is passed where we have to pay more to make our children safer...I'll give everything I have so that I don't have to bury my son!

[wytkracka]

fine, give everything you have, typical though you'd force someone else to as well...

not that saving a kid is a bad thing, but that adding more doors to a classroom means dick.....you wanna spend money on a useless gesture to feel good, go to every schoolroom your kid ever attends and install the door yourself.

[wytkracka]

from a USA today article on the Va Tech shootings...

"police say Cho used locks and chains to secure three doors at the classroom building, blocking possible escape routes for students, faculty and staff. The locked doors briefly thwarted police, who ultimately forced their way inside"

Looks like extra doors would have just meant a few more lengths of chain for cho......

[mysticphilly]

I dont care about the damn doors, the door thing wasn't even my goddamn idea in the first place. Like I'd come up with another easy way for someone to kill our children. My son living is all I care about. I ask you, as a mother as well as someone who went through a shooting herself, losing two of her BEST friends. If not money than what...Blood? I think we have shed too much already.

[marymonk]

I agree too.

[poop770]

Thats alot of wasted money tearing down and building and buying new and more doors for every classroom in america. I think we should get to the root of the problem rather than saving 2 more lives per classroom.

[marymonk]

What would your idea be to keep this type of situation from happening again?

[lordkefka94606]

The fuck is wrong with people now-a-days, seriously.

[SoundwaveSuperior373]

its so funny all i do these days is c ppl condemn these kind of stuff n blame ppl but they all thought oh its never gona happen again but it keeps happening

OK...White people seriously, get your heads out of your asses. I'm sick of hearing some White guy going on a Rampage in some school (Exception to this is Virgina Tech). Why is it always some white guy? I'm white and I'm beginning to think that this is normal for us. Just snap and go on some killing spree...WHITE PEOPLE GET A FUCKING GRIP! Life isn't THAT fucking bad yet. You know the Asians were like..."No. Not again" until a couple of hours ago. Glad to see Jack Thompson isn't going at it again

[wytkracka]

because we're so desensitized to seeing minorities shooting at each other it's not newsworthy

[alebar85]

If you see a FREAK at your school dont even think about it "FUCKIN TAKE HIM DOWN AND KILL HIM!!"

[Regimond]

You knows his reasoning is going to be some shit like he broke up with his girlfriend so he took his vengence out on valentines day. Ahhh god What a fucking prick...I vow to find out where he is buried and decimate his grave. Piss on is break his grave stone. Maybe I'll bring my dog to go piss on it

[putittogether]

We as a People allow these horrible mass killings to happen. We ALLOW this becuase as a People we have decided to give the POWER of self protection to the State. This is why these people are DEAD. There are crazy people in the world that will do horrible things, period. The good news is that there are far more good people, the bad news is if you give their right to self protection to the killer, than this will continue to happen. So sad.

[Nocturne06]

I live in Norway and we have REAL democracy, we have STRICT control of weapons and never have I heard about any incident of people snapping and going amok with guns in public places here - but I hear about this A LOT in the STATES. So, is it strange that the question "What the f*** is wrong with the U.S?" poses itself? I think not. You refer to incidental cases in different places in Europe. We refer to those incidental cases but the difference is that it happens in ONE place. Your country...

[Moowg]

Poor effort really, how the fuck only manage 6 people dead when have 3 firearms amongst 100's of people - must be a shit shot :/

[ilovehollycombs]

americans tend to blame EVERYTHING on the media or the television!

im sorry but people in other countries have the same shit on tv that you do, & are alot safer for example. (dont count 3rd world countries obviously)

its not the gun laws either!

its the parents! its the society! we're not even normal anymore!

look at the way kids in north america disrespect their parents! "fuck u mom! ur a bitch"

in asia or europe thats EXTREMELY RARE!

[mientememami]

Predictably this page will become a forum for the discussion of gun control. Some will argue that armed students could have stopped the gunman, while others will point out the possibility that an armed citizenry may result in a greater number of spontaneous shootings. Either way, I hope we all pause for a second before getting up on our soap boxes and recognize that this is a sick tragedy for all of society. All those made of flesh and bone are in this together. Love to Dekalb from Chitown.

[ilovehollycombs]

there are many countrie that banned guns, that have LOW LOW LOW crime.

[deerslayer25]

not true, study it out

[Reaper206]

Well whats your take on it

[mientememami]

... and by the way... I'm going to go ahead and "spam" any replies from people who have completely missed the point. These replies range from "I got me a motherfuckin right to carry an AK47 into a preschool!" all the way to "Boohoo, come on everyone, America sucks, why can't we be exactly like Norway? blah blah blah". Seriously, you outsiders insulting the U.S. don't understand shit about this country and you people who wish we could buy handguns from vending machines confound me also.

[GL2330]

Another shooting in a gun free zone, or mass victim zone. Gun control only leaves good People defenseless, wake up! Armed Citizens can stop or limit the damage of these madmen, but most You People are blind to that!

[ilovehollycombs]

"Gun control only leaves good People defenseless, wake up! "

WTF! did u know most people who have guns at home to 'defend' themselves end up dying from their own gun!

whether the robber took THEIR gun, or it was an accident.

also how many kids shot eachother by accident when they find daddys/mommys guns!

banning guns is a GOOD THING!

its not like I would carry a gun anyway! even if i wanted to protect myself!

ur not all cowboys anymore southerners!!

[wytkracka]

by your logic we should ban pools, bathtubs, beds, cars, cuz you're more likely to die from anyone of those, whether by attack or by accident, than a gun, and it's kinda hard to use a pool to defend yourself from an attacker.

[DarknessUnresolved]

Crazy-ass WHITE people! When Barack Obama wins, this shit won't happen no more!

[MasterJeston]

until some crazy white guy kills him with a rifle half mile away

[myztikal84]

When will the government do something about placing higher restrictions on fire arms in the U.S? The shootings have increased more than anything else. How much more blood must spill before they do something?

[GL2330]

Not the answer, facts show gun control only protect the criminals.

[DemonzorB]

thats 6 this week actually.

[DJConstantine13]

This is just too much. Im a Student... I have class in cole...and now it's rough to go to class now because people were shot up there. HE DIDNT EVEN GO TO NIU!!! Now the nation thinks that NIU is a bad university to go to. NIU is a great univrsity with very smart people... now people are going to think that it's a horrible school to attend all because this gunman didn't know how to handle his problems...

[DarknessUnresolved]

THIS JUST IN: Federal Agents have broken up a WHITE terrorist cell in Northern Illinois known as the NORTH IL CONFEDERATE MILITIA! Several crackers were taken into custody. No word yet on this dangerous groups' involvement in the deadly shooting...

[phoenix749]

why are americans so fucked in the head?

[poop770]

April 26th, 2002 GERMANY- 18 killed in school shooting.

November 8th, 2007- 8 killed in school shooting in FINLAND.

Various other murders committed with knives and pipe bombs in Scotland and Germany.

Not to mention various riots and acts of violence throughout Europe. How many people are killed in soccer riots? Over a fucking game. I don't have a problem with Europe. I think it is a fantastic place, but stop making out America as this horrible, dangerous nation you ignorant morons

[vossejongk]

@ Poop770

Yes, true, these incidents have happened in other countrys too.. BUT

For every one of these incidents that happen OUTSIDE the USA, there are THREE incidents of this kind that happen INSIDE the USA..

Killers like this are everywhere, but they seem to be more common in the USA.. You tell me why..

[ilovehollycombs]

"For every one of these incidents that happen OUTSIDE the USA, there are THREE incidents of this kind that happen INSIDE the USA.."

4 shootings in what a week??

[myztikal84]

I've been to U.S/Europe a no.of times and while I dare go out at night in Europe, I have never walked out alone in U.S at night. A month ago in CA I was stalked by a guy!I shudder to think about what could have happened. It's a good country but the law is too lenient. Murderers,rapists either get jailed for life or some get out on parole! If someone's gonna use a gun to shoot he may not think twice because most probably he's thinking 'let's see, I'll be fed and I'll have a place to sleep in jail

[ChiTownKanerToews]

It depends where you go. Most neighborhoods in America are safe. This was just a freak thing.

[myztikal84]

For the country's sake, I really hope you're right.

[wytkracka]

we leave our doors open all day long, I mean hell you have to worry about the same thing in essex and paris if you walk into the wrong area wearing the wrong skin

[wytkracka]

yeah, I guess that's why we rank #1 in handgun shootings, oh wait, that's venezuela.........looks like you're a dumbass

[mysticphilly]

Lack of breast feeding....who knows. I live in California and I'm stumped.

[mysticphilly]

Because it's dumb asses like you who help it along.

[vossejongk]

WHY do there have to be these retards who think they are going to be famous when they go to some crowded place (Mall/campus) and start shooting random people ???

WHY do these retards have to take as much people as they can with them ?

WHY do American teens want to behave like Paris Hilton/Britney Spears ???

WHY do they think life is 1 big party of alcohol, sex and drugs?

And if they find out its not, they go kill people & themselves ?

[vossejongk]

Oh yeah sure give it thumbs down, why... because I am right ?

[wytkracka]

wait, someone from the netherlands trying to preach about sex and drugs? that's a laugh

[mezbo14]

Its hell bad they have already had like 4 shootings this year wtf is wrong with these ppl that do this.

4 shootings this past week in US

[Nocturne06]

Only in the States could this happen, I agree. Its almost as bad as some of those Taliban regimes or something, imagine having to live in fear your whole life cuz you don´t know whom on the street might be caring heat. Crazy...!

April 26th, 2002 GERMANY- 18 killed in school shooting.

November 8th, 2007- 8 killed in school shooting in FINLAND.

Various other murders committed with knives and pipe bombs in Scotland and Germany.

Not to mention various riots and acts of violence throughout Europe. How many people are killed in soccer riots? Over a fucking game. I don't have a problem with Europe. I think it is a fantastic place, but stop making out America as this horrible, dangerous nation you ignorant morons

[wytkracka]

damn, beat me to it, down to the football riots. How about the increase in violent crimes in Australia since they banned private handgun ownership? Almost as if everyone's easier prey since they can't defend themselves.

[Timesobserver]

You are certainly right. In fact, England is having a hard time with gun crime and crime in general when they started gun control over there.

[wytkracka]

actually we rank pretty low, unless you add some ridiculous qualifier such as "among world's richest nations" to the statistic

[MacattackBadaBingbby]

[megzy947]

[scott847]

youve obviously never been to dekalb or chicago so fuck off you ignorant asshole

[jwolfie422]

I am a black man, and I am appalled that you run our entire race through the mud with your ignorant attitude. Educate yourself young man. What good are you doing by spreading your hate for "crackers." What message are you trying to convey, but that the black man has little intelligence and is full of venom and violence. Check yourself, your own people, who you twistedly celebrate, will turn on you.

Fucking traitor, whose side are you on, nigga!?!

[MrPJLewis]

What can the university do?

sedate them all and introduce electrode education, i.e plug them on to a computer via an electrode / nerve adapter. that way they cant kill each other. Get a life people, if you think its cool to kill cos your girl said no, then its probably not worth living.. you materialists- living for touch, feel, have and have not

get a real life.

The system should not make it like a evolutionary thing every one fighting for looks, money and girls, and killing in the process

[sarahj99usa]

bunch of killing students!!

What do they study?
