As a Marine I lived by a good of conduct, which stated try not to kill innocence people. This scumbag had none.
First, thank you for all you do and did for our country!
Second, completely agree. I just wish the police could have killed him before he was able to kill himself. You're a scum bag and a coward! Takes a real big man to kill 6 year old's!
These teachers as well as the principal and school psychologist made the ultimate sacrifice and gave up their lives so that these innocent children could live. It could have been a lot worse if not for the heroics of the teachers and the first responders.
My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

My wife is a teacher, and when we lived in south florida she taught in one of the rougher areas in hollywood. And has been through threatening lock-downs with individuals on or near campus. Her and probably MOST teachers have a natural instinct to protect these kids first and foremost, as they are their very own. Teachers really do and go above and beyond.
Everyone was affected by this incident in some way, but for me it is scary as hell and it really got to me being I have my wife in one elementary school and my kindergarten daughter in another.
That SOB chicken $#!+ didn't deserve to die, he deserved to be painfully tortured for the rest of his miserable existence. Sick or not, he still had the capacity to know he was in big trouble if he got caught, hence why these scumbags end their own life!
Thoughts and prayers go out to all the families and friends of these victims, a tragedy no one should ever endure!

"Woodham drove his mother's car to Pearl High School. Wearing an orange jumpsuit and a trenchcoat, he made no attempt to hide his rifle. When he entered the school, he fatally shot Lydia Kaye Dew and Christina Menefee, his former girlfriend. Pearl High School assistant band director, Jeff Cannon, was standing five feet away from Dew when he was fatally shot. Woodham went on to wound seven others before leaving, intending to drive off campus and conduct another shooting at the nearby Pearl Junior High School. However, assistant principal Joel Myrick had retrieved a .45 pistol from the glove compartment of his truck and subdued Woodham inside his mother's car. Then Myrick demanded "Why did you shoot my kids?" to which Woodham replied, "Life has wronged me, sir."
I'm not saying every teacher in school needs to be armed, but there should be an option for those who legally have the permits to do so.

Schools systems don't have the means to arm and train every teacher, hell they can't even supply teachers with adequate materials to teach kids these days, much less guns. Nor do I think teachers need guns in classrooms. however, I would not be apposed to principals carrying guns. In the case friday, it may or may not of made a difference, but it is a step.
I do not by any means think a ban on guns in this country in an answer either. too many guns, bad people will get them regardless, but assault rifles maybe should be looked at more close on putting regulations on.
The problems is depressed teens/young people or even anyone. Untreated, ignored and mad at their parents and society. Not that every emotional teen is a ticking time bomb, but too many times parents are quick to say "there is nothing wrong with my child" when there certainly is.

Re: Sandy Hook Elementary School
They should however ban assault weapons. Unless you're in the military, why would anyone need a machine gun or a bush master? Hunters aren't going to use a gun that shoots 6 rounds a second to kill a deer, not unless they want to blow the deer into pieces.
Not even sure if that would stop anything, but people can't go to the mall, the movies, or now apparently school without fearing for their lives. Where will it stop? Something needs to be done, but the problem is, what? what can we do? People have the right to protect themselves and taking away guns isn't the answer but something has to change, this should NEVER happen again.
