Thoughts to our American cousins after the events of today.

[aussie mick]

My thoughts and feelings of extreme sorrow are with the parents of those poor innocents.
Not that it will make one iota of difference to them unfortunately,so i hope the piece of crap that did this burns in hell for eternity,and if there is something worse i hope he gets it.
I might as well copy this post as i feel its bound to happen again.
For Gods sake people,Do something about this !!

Very sad times, i cant believe so many young lives have been needlessly cut short, my thoughts go to the families and friends at this terrible time.

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
Matthew 19:14

Unfortunately for all concerned, you can't outlaw Evil and Insanity. God only knows, they've tried. Throughout written History, you'll find these horrid events occurring again and again. Appallingly, I see now that the lunatics of the Westboro Baptist Church are getting into the act and have announced plans to be taunting and harassing the School grounds and the upcoming services for the victims families. Apparently, it's not enough to show up to Afghan and Iraqi War fallen servicemen's funerals and taunt their grieving families, but now to show up after This....if That isn't a Hate Crime, then I guess that I don't know what is anymore...

But this thread isn't hear to talk about the Westboro Baptist Church or any other lunatic fringes so please keep focused on the objective of the thread and to leave your condolences for the victims of Newtown and not start discussing things outside the scope of this thread or forum.

I will find it very very sad if I or any other member of the forum staff sees fit to close the thread because members can't keep it within context and wish to twist it out of shape by using this tragedy as a way of voicing their personal views against individuals, laws, policies or groups.

For the victims and their families not politics, hate crimes, gun laws, lunatic groups, extremism etc.

Harry it would be hard to explain the reasons where and why at this time,, but truly there is an answer. The time now is needed for thoughts and prayers for the families
