That's awful... I wonder if those gunmen started the fire as well, in a deliberate attempt to lure the firefighters? Surely it wasn't just a coincidence...

Want to place a bet that when the fire is out, they discover another body or two IN there and now all the forensics is lost?

If so, those firemen who died can blame the likes of CSI for their deaths.

What i find confusing is when youve plucked up the ***** to start shooting loads of people.... why chicken out at the last minute and shoot yourself??

Have some backbone and face the consequences....

Thats Swedish guy (albeit he is cleary bonkers) didnt top himself and was gutsy enough to stay alive.... maybe too much of a coward to shoot himself however!

Its all the fault of Call of Duty. I have played it ever since it came out (and Medal of Honour before it) and god forbid i ever get the hold of a gun.. . . . . . . .yeah right. There are insane people out there that dont need guns to kill many , but the odds are stacked againt the Americians.

Surely the answer is armoured personnel carriers alongside the fire engines

Seems so obvious

What they need is more guns. The only thing that will stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a bigger gun.

You could just get rid of the storage for water and mount a big gun there. Problem solved and no need for extra cars.

Funny enough I actually saw an American bloke on TV say those exact words last week after the other massacre!

******* deluded or what?

They have created their own reality


"We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality – judiciously, as you will – we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors … and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."

Karl Rove - senior advisor to George Bush

And when you create your own reality 2+2 really can = 5

Trying to tell them 2+2=4 will be as successful as trying to convince you 2+2=5

tell them 2 + 2= 10 and they would probably agree with you, either that or disagree with you and shoot you.

It's quite "Hollywood": good guys and bad guys. I suppose that's the idea.

Stricter gun laws will upset the gun camp, though. That goes without saying. Just imagine losing the use of something you've grown up with and taken for granted, especially when you've never done anything wrong. It's just a few nutters that have made stricter gun control a political necessity.
