Dreadful

Guess what the gun support lobby will say ? They'll say that fire-fighters should be armed with assault rifles when they go out to save people from fires. Then will the NRA explain how they are to hold guns and hoses at the same time ? Or climb down ladders with an unconscious person in one hand and a gun in the other ? Or are they really looking for extra jobs for their members, so that every fire-team has to include a sniper as well ?
Maybe I am cynical, but the NRA would make Mother Teresa cynical.

That is awful how could anyone do that.

Terrible news.

Thanks for letting us all know and cheering us up this Christmas.

You will let us know if Korea drops an Atom Bomb or there is a Tsunami in Asia that kills thousands of people wont you.

p.s. Horrible though it is WHY do we need to know 2 people have been killed in the USA?

What can we do about it ..Nothing.
Does it effect us in any way..No
Will it hurt if we dont know about it..No.

Why take such delight in spreading bad news.

My thoughts exactly, Atalanta.

VHG, I think with modern media making the world smaller, we have family and friends scattered all over that we worry about when we hear of any death, disease, anything horrible . We just like to know what's going on in the world.

VHG,
Poster posts News in News section shocker. My thoughts are with the families of two men from an emergency service who went to do the very brave job they do but subsequently won't be coming home from their days work.

Yours are obviously elsewhere.
