The actions of one sick individual don't say anything about society not valuing human life. If anything, the majority's outcry of disbelief proves the contrary.

Maybe b/c only a very, very small number of shootings occur each year and it has been determined that event SWAT teams and metal detectors would not have made a difference? Or that school shootings have become significantly less prevalent?

This is crazy....the Amish!?!?!
These incidents stem way further than your basic school safety. Something is wrong with our society period. Human life means nothing...

And this is the second one where females/girls were targeted.

You are so right. I just heard the Commissioner give a list of things the perp had purchased within the last few days, and by the amount of KY jelly he purchased, he was one sick puppy. Also, if you remember that he made a mention of something that happened twenty years ago? He molested several young (I think he said "cousins") at that time.
Ten girls - five are dead, and one is in very critical condition. I could cry.

There is a thread in DST Blvd called "Say What" (we're on version 4 now) that you should visit. Sadly its more than just one or two sick individuals. Violence against woman and children are becoming more commonplace. And that says something about our society in general.

How the hell can you shoot an Amish person? 
Not that every school shooting isn't sick but this one is even above and beyond!!!

I agree; this guy was very sick and troubled...and that I fear those words do not even start to cover it....and just talking about "the pain and suffering" he caused only just starts to cover, in MHO, what his families and friends and those of his victums are now going through.....

But I do have to agree, with comments made at press conference, that out of all groups, perhaps the Amish as group may be able to handle (if one can ever truly handle anything like this ) this kind of tragity.

I'm going out on a limb and say that the perp was more than "troubled". He was a coward. No matter what his problems were, he chose to invade a community that is non-violent by definition. Then he chose a school - so that the people involved would be mostly under 14. Then he let the boys go free. Then he used a form of handcuffs on these little girls - very non-street smart little girls. Then when he heard the state police, he shot those little girls execution style, then shot himself. That is NOT the work of a sophisticated killer, it's the work of a coward.
Of the little girls who are dead, there were two sets of sisters. Another little girl was shot in the upper back, instead of head - we can only pray that she won't be paralyzed.
And this coward left a family who will have to live with this the rest of their lives.
Sorry, but this has me angry, as well as hurt. People don't realize how much most locals care about "our" Amish.
