Hey! I worked hard to get where I am today. I even drove a chev-ro-let. I kept undertaker at bay. I lived isolated on a deserted cay. It's in the music that the PSB play. You hear FoF playing all over the world.

I thought he might be a tea party dude. he's anything but. in his ramblings he talked of wanting to burn the american flag.among the dead a 9 year old girl. usually these loner freak crazies kill themselves.

[West 4th]

He wasn't a tea partier but he was an anti government paranoid so not that far off.

I'm not that surprised this happened. With all the violent rhetoric from the right in their campaigns these past two years it was bound to tip someone already crazy over the edge.

I dont like this trend,it seems like a fairly new thing for america where young people get beside themselves over politics. I seem to recall one of the things outsiders critized about american young adults is that they had no interest in the politics of their own country.

now its sliding the otherway.

Good morning,

I wonder why things like that mostly seem to happen in the US?

[glennjridge]

random senseless violence happens everywhere, its just that the US's culture is so media driven that when something does happen, we have this need to publicize it as if its the end of the world and everyone should pay attention.

No, that's normal the world over. The difference in the US is that there's plenty of space for crazy people, and every one of them has a gun.

random sensless violence happens everywhere. kids shoot up schools, people murder family members. its just that this is AMERICA...and the rest of the world is,well the rest of the world.
I know that gets some peoples pantys in a twist,but thats too bad. we advertise to death every incident from every angle and it gets attention and great interest outside and reinforces to some suseptible people a sort of stereotype about danger here.

I own guns.its my right.

That's the point. Elsewhere you don't shoot as you don't own a gun!

I own guns.its my right.

For what exactly? For shooting up people or being able to?

[glennjridge]

I have a couple shotguns. we go up into the hills and shoot cans,old tires and stuff. my girlfriend does it. you'd love it.

You really don't understand. I was in New Mexico a month or so ago, and we broke down in the middle of nowhere. Fortunately a very friendly guy stopped and helped us. But I can't describe how utterly sick I felt when he showed us the loaded gun that he was carrying in his car with him.

For most people at least in western Europe, saying you own a gun is pretty much equivalent to admitting you've got a nuclear warhead in your bedroom - it's completely incomprehensible. That's what people mean when they talk about "gun culture", and it's one of the reasons why every time someone hears about a disgusting event like this they just go "Oh, it's America."

I loooove mexico! went down there with some friends in my college days. everybody did the tijuana thing back then. it was sort of a rite of passage.
I remember an area that was called something like avenida or something. friendly people.good memorys good food,good tequila hot women.
anyways if I ever go to europe I'll remember leave my auto shotguns at home.

[rollo]

I said New Mexico. It's one of the 50 states, you know?

Not quite as good as Mexico proper, but pretty amazing nonetheless.
