i thought we switched to CEOs, disappointing
Yeah, I'd much rather a rich croney die than a bunch of kids. Psycho killers - you're doing it wrong!

yeah and why are the ceo's only one at a time. kinda unfair.
It was a student. The school looks to be K-12, so could be just about any age. Most kids don't pay much attention to the news, too focused on their own daily lives and situations to look outwards yet (and some, never).
This it right in my community. :(
Our congressman Mark Pocan summed things up well, "Support better gun laws or stay out. Thought & prayers are useless. Action!"
By the way OP its been corrected to three, maybe update title.
thanks. unfortunately it's been said before: if sandy hook didn't change anything, then nothing will

This is like the 40th school shooting this year. Are any of the victims a CEO cause I think we're only supposed to care about CEOs.
Those poor kids only knew indoctrination, then death. What a shame. I wonder how many of their Christian parents voted for this reality. How many more will play a part in their own kids deaths?
Abundant Life Christian School officials asked for prayers on Facebook.
Made me actually lol
Kids need to understand that CEOs are the root of most of their problems - not their teachers and peers.
Well based on the name, the teacher was a Christian groomer working to permanently damage the critical thinking skills and morality of children for years in the process of indoctrinating them into their cult.
Agreed on the other student, no excuse for that.
Weird, shocker, complete mystery, total enigma; very puzzling, baffling, inexplicable, a “head-scratcher” as the hooligans say; indecipherable, unanswerable, consign it to oblivion and endeavor never to speak of this quandary again.
They should really not entitle it "LIVE: 5 dead".
Also, the cruel irony of this being the "abundant life" school.
I guess it was too abundant.
Overabundant even!
I don’t think the thoughts and prayers are working.
Think and pray harder! We're not doing it hard enough. Think and pray like you are fucking a nasty bitch.

“God‘s plan“
The Blockchain and AI will help, just wait
Jesus didn't protect the Jesus school? Not a very reliable god.
"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?" - Epicurus
You just need the first two lines to understand Christians. They only respect their own wrathful God, their religion is fear and control and it's the only thing they understand.
Something something testing us, Job, money in the banana hammock

Something like this would have paused and galvanized the entire U.S. 20 years ago.
I wonder if this will even be mentioned in tomorrows news.
People already making jokes, we've truly lost all hope.
Someone shoots a school, the press talks about it for a day. Someone shoots a rando, the press doesn't even mention it. Someone shoots a CEO, the press talks about it for weeks.
i'm wondering if the republicans who wore "solidarity ear bandages" when trump was attacked will be wearing solidarity body bags for these dead children
Of course not. Children don’t vote. Their PAC is a frickin joke!

20 years ago was 2004. Columbine was five years before that. And school shootings have been happening even longer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_the_United_States
20 years ago congress let the Federal Assault Weapons Ban sunset (end without renewal).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Assault_Weapons_Ban that was AFTER Columbine.
BUT! That legislation was brought about thanks to an earlier school shooting, in 1989.
I mean, that's just not true, as history shows. Things like this have been happening for well more than 20 years and we did then, as we continue to do now, precisely jack-shit about it.

Best we can do is "Thoughts and Prayers" because the American people decided this on November 5th.
Less abundant life now......
This breaks my heart, everytime I see this. Fuck the 2nd. Get gun control and also go after the root cause of this. I'm sorry Americans. This is horrible.
Assuming the root cause of this is a lack of proper (mental) healthcare, it appears we'll need the 2nd to achieve that.
