I would just like to put up a memorial to everyone affected by this massacre. May such a tragedy never occur again. May the Cause support you, Mouse Squeak to meh. See where I've eaten cheese. 19:48, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Indeed.-- M  E   The  Gre a t 19:49, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Completely unrelated to Halo...but...I completely concur. God be with those families. Sincerely, Relen tless Recu sant http://www.wikia.com/skins/common/progress-wheel.gif TALK •  WORK   • SPEAK 19:54, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry if this is the wrong place, I just didn't know where else to put it. May the Cause support you, Mouse [[Image:Heroic.jpg|30px]] Squeak to meh. See where I've eaten cheese. 19:56, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

That was sad, me and my friends all let god be with there travels onto the after life and with there families. Let those responsible suffer. What a cruel action was, and my saying is, Every Action has a Consequence, and those actions resulted in the ultimate price. Let the lord be with there families all there life. A men.
 * That is okay having it here for me, as a community we should embrace these things and show our effection to the outside world instead of just wiki-wise. Well least those 3 bombs were found today in the other universities then we would of lost more lives. Now off subject to this but I believe the shooters got that idea from the show, The Unit, last week Muslim Terrorists took guns to a school and tried to kill everyone. These guys must of tried it. Well, that is my speech, and now let us move on. Darth tader,Talk to the Tader,My work 20:40, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

I am opposed to all incidents of cruelty and murder, and do not wish to dwell on one specific case. I anticipate the time when we will end such hostilities, perhaps through transplanting all of humanity into a massive computer system ala The Matrix. -- Dragonc laws ( talk ) 20:49, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm sorry to say, I doubt there will ever be a time when all people are at peace with one another. -- ED ( talk )(shockfront) 23:54, 17 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Not all, but within the confines of a created online universe (like Matrix or perhaps Second Life is a better description), the response of the good would be far greater. I see this as a greatly hedonistic world where people would be able to act out their hostilities inside a complete fantasy where no one would get permanantly hurt. Not everyone would upload their minds, but there would be the sapient machines to help them along. This is my utopian vision, one I believe is possible to reach if we don't destroy the Earth while Red Queening our technology. -- Dragonc laws ( talk ) 01:00, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, people already to that, which is why we have vandals and why my Warcraft III record is littered with losses due to backstabbing teammates. If you're talking about a virtual reality world like the Matrix, I would say the concern there would be that people would lose complete sense of reality and become addicted to the virtual world. When they prefer their false world to the real one, there is the threat that some will lose their grasp with reality and become unable to function in the real world. -- ED ( talk )(shockfront) 21:10, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I think I'm going to stop this tangent here, and make a new thread in a bit. -- Dragonc laws ( talk ) 10:32, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes but you will always be hurt someway, dead or not on the outside, you can always die on the inside. I am watching about this incident, now as you go to bed please prey for those families who had lost their sons or daughters lives. And let them have a food night sleep. As life goes on, not everything goes away. Darth tader,Talk to the Tader,My work 02:38, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Another sad,sad Colmbine. More schools like collges should have secruity guards. I feel real real sad about this.:-( The Consumed   ,The Dead   ,and Living  21:39, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

If you really felt bad about it... you wouldn' talk about it...Duskstorm 18:47, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * A foolish conclusion. It will take a great deal of discussion and action to prevent things like this from happening in the future. Things must change in America, one way or another or episodes like these will continue. -- ED ( talk )(shockfront) 19:48, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Well our school has 2 deputies, did these schools have any type of security? I mean on the inside. Darth tader,Talk to the Tader,My work 19:48, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Tighter gun laws needed much? --  Manticore  TalkundefinedCSV 08:21, 21 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Actually, I heard an interesting suggestion that it would be better if teachers were allowed to bring guns to work. That way, when some psycho attacks, he's not the only one with the lethal weapon and can be taken out quicker. Just the idea that the teachers might be carrying them could deter loonies from attacking in the first place. -- Dragonc laws ( talk ) 10:32, 21 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm pretty sure that quote was of the gun store owner who served this nut. And he also mentioned other students. I mean, it would make life exciting wouldn't it?! Walking around, hand on your holster, everyone staring at one another, waiting to see who'll make the first move... then BAM! --  Manticore  [[Image:Fleet Admiral.jpg|25px]] TalkundefinedCSV 13:51, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 * No, it was a lawyer with a blog. You can read the full arguement there, but the main thing is that people who have gone to the trouble to obtain the permits to allow them to carry will be very unlikely to be that immature. Question: Do you want to kill people? Or are you trying to read the minds of others? -- Dragonc laws ( talk ) 23:13, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Well if teachers have guns there are bound to be idiots that will take it and either do it as a joke or to do damage. Last years our school was broken into 12 times by stealing computers they might as well steal the guns that teachers forgot to bring home. Then they could take them and hang out until the mornings. Darth tader,Talk to the Tader,My work 15:25, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 * See above. Teachers would only be given the option of bringing them if they legally obtained them, not issued them manditorily. -- Dragonc laws ( talk ) 23:13, 21 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I am saddened that this has turned into another call for gun control...*sigh*

I am sure that they need security guards in the colleges for now on.

Semper Vigilans,


 * I'd just like too say what makes this 1 any different to the others? you get a minimum of 1 each year in US. in the 90s 2 guys killed like 37 pupils but chose them coz of the way they treated the gunmen who then shot themselves before the cops got in. hmmmmm... seems similar doesn't it >>?<< ps. i am back!
 * ps. If i controled the US (by terrorism or otherwise) i would split the states it into countries (but they all still meet a congress thingy) and put border patrol. This way guns can't get in or out. But if u think Nth Dakota might attack South, then have the neighbouring "countries" deal with it.

Sadly, this may be true. Peace, justice and happiness dissolving into anarchy, violence and chaos.
