BREAKING NEWS: Shooting at Chardon High School in Ohio

....

So pathetic...

Hoping for the best...

Maybe I'm just an asshole, but like Wu my first reaction was a snort that someone named Knife makes an announcement about a shooting

.

3 in critical condition, 1 in stable.

people are just fucked in the head.

1 apparently on the loose

mandatory psych evaluations these days in school. You never know when that squirrely kid is gonna snap.

where do you see that it was a student who did the shooting, or someone associated with the school?

hoping that there are no fatalities

that all it takes is one or two kids to result in something tradgic like this.

one of the students said that kids were in the cafeteria having breakfast when a boy stood up and started shooting.

there was only 1 shooter.

It keeps changing, but I literally just heard 2 shooters again from a local FOX affiliate. Also reporting that the students had specific targets and it wasn't random. Just a report though. Not confirmed.

Also--again, just a report--one of the gunman posted on Twitter last night that people are gonna be hurt tomorrow.

Where are you seeing 3 in critical?

as my kids get older. What the fuck is wrong with the world?

Yeah I can imagine there's a lot of chaos there right now. We will different things for a few hours at least I am sure.

just went out the window.

still investigating if there are other suspects. but they think its just the one boy.

according to the sheriff's statement.

and think about all the kids who were outcasts or unpopular and just hoped to God they were not capable of pulling something like this off. More popular kids that either picked on them or bullied them only further pushed these kids to their breaking point. Thats why I would always say Hello to at least try to make them feel better, if that even helped at all.

I thought we lost you in a case race, lol

It’s crazy. Same thing. I was just thinking back to when I was in high school (early 90’s) and there were definitely kids I knew that looking back now, could have easily been candidates for snapping like this. Luckily then, these kids didn’t have the internet to make it easier to plot shit, find weapons, meet more kids like themselves, etc. It’s a completely different world. Much easier to pretty much do anything with all the available information.

will be this June!

should be charged as terrorists. That's what they are.

I have never met, nor am likely to meet, has lost whatever remnant of respect they may or may not have had for me based on the fact that I voiced a play on words--one that others probably thought of as well--on a football message board about a tragic event that neither he nor I are likely connected to in any way.

Get over it!

.

a school shooting is one of the few places where it is neither funny nor appropriate.

but carry on.

.

it is this type of stuff that you have to try to look for signs of happening but are 99.9% likely to never see coming.

of when and where the time and place is for puns and what puns are and are not appropriate.

How long is your reign?

I meant "now" not "not".

Good thing I'm at my desk instead of at the site of a school shooting.

I just don't get your extreme defensiveness over something like this.

whether it's bullying, suicide, violence, terrorism, or this.

scary for parents. It's not just your kids or even mainly your kids, its other kids you can't control/predict.

Hope for the best for the victims and their families.

that joking about a situation and chastising those who joke about the situation are equal in terms of inappropriateness.

However, the pious don't seem to see it that way as they go about redirecting the moral compasses.

Heaven forbid we offend the sensabilities of people we know nothing about!

Are the victims actively reading this thread? Their families?

Probably not.

Who am I being insensitive towards? People who have no exposure to these comments?

Did I miss a memo?

I concede.

just learned their child was in danger and logged onto BBI, offending their sensbilities is the least of their worries.

Devil's music, Rock and Roll

had Mile come on here and posted that his cousin or nephew or whatever had just been shot at a school shooting, and linked to the same story, I would not have made the joke out of sensitivity to Mike.

That's not the case.

These kinds of things are always relative to proximity.

I'm not laughing at kids getting shot. That's a terrible thing. I chuckled at the incongruity of the name of a spokesman. That's it.

yay!

it's the first thing I noticed too. I had to re-read to make sure I was reading it right.

tube top.

Just trust me on this one.

LMAO! Excellent point.

There is at least 1 here that would that very thing.
