I hope this doesn't sound insensitive, but do celebrities and even people on facebook make these giant ass posts about how unfathomable it is, etc. Isn't that all obvious? Unless you're somehow related to whats going on sit your ass down, this shit isnt about you. It just rubs me the wrong way.

we don't actually care what they think...

ikr, you're not the only one who thinks this. these people need to make an ontd_facebook. turning this into a competition about who can find the worst shit.
wheresandrae 14th-Dec-2012 09:11 pm (UTC)
god yes I'm tired of this in every kind of post, especially one like this
lovefifteen 14th-Dec-2012 09:14 pm (UTC)
seriously. even the ppl who post statuses on their fb and then come back here complaining about the douchebags who commented, like, why did you find it necessary to post about it in the first place?

yeah, when shit like this happens and you want to remark on it, a good rule of thumb is to avoid using the word 'I'.

tragickingdomxo 14th-Dec-2012 09:04 pm (UTC)
Wolf Blitzer has made me rage about six times already, he's saying such terrible stuff to parents

Nope. Get that story regardless of decency.
kurtvonnegut 14th-Dec-2012 09:06 pm (UTC)
ethics don't exist in any profession tbh
buncha_cruncha 14th-Dec-2012 09:07 pm (UTC)
I have a journalism degree and I worked as a reporter for 7 years. I'm ashamed of a hell of a lot of the stuff I've seen today.
swissbeauty23 14th-Dec-2012 09:12 pm (UTC)
people lose their jobs over being ethical. it's fucked up.
hera_bearrra 14th-Dec-2012 09:17 pm (UTC)
They just care about ratings
emilenshook 14th-Dec-2012 09:25 pm (UTC)
in print journalism, yes. But anything goes on television. It's all about numbers.
spider_orchid 14th-Dec-2012 09:26 pm (UTC)
nope, its all about ratings and views and attention.

Thankfully, none are dead so far. Poor babies.
frklphace 14th-Dec-2012 09:09 pm (UTC)
how the fuck can someone stab 22 kids?
theblackwidow 14th-Dec-2012 09:11 pm (UTC)
If they're little :/
antique_faery 15th-Dec-2012 05:34 am (UTC)
I'm too sad to read the details, but they had them cornered and not all were "stabbed" but probably sliced at... Jesus I feel sick. :(

Btw this is just me guessing.

one of my twitter friends said "Obama is such a good actor"

?????? what in the hell? as if it's hard to feel emotion over something so awful? that person needs to get their ass straightened out.
swissbeauty23 14th-Dec-2012 09:12 pm (UTC)

If you search #fake tears on Twitter, you'll see some really disgusting shit about President Obama.

theactualworst 14th-Dec-2012 09:06 pm (UTC)
Does anyone else take issue with reporters getting quotes from some of the little kids already (I saw one from a 5 year old)? If I were a parent in this situation and a reporter came up to my child at the firehouse/outside the school I'd fucking snap.
distant_lines 14th-Dec-2012 09:07 pm (UTC)
Someone would get punched.
frklphace 14th-Dec-2012 09:09 pm (UTC)
but the parents are giving consent.
vehiclesshockme 14th-Dec-2012 09:12 pm (UTC)
Parents who are probably in shock.
jaimelannister 14th-Dec-2012 09:12 pm (UTC)
it might be that when the parents filled out form when they sent their kids to school they consented to the children being filmed/used in photographs on the school site - maybe - and hopefully that doesn't cover the media tho
yurasama_love 14th-Dec-2012 09:10 pm (UTC)
I would come running up screaming and knocking down the camera and probably punch the reporter.
williammiller 14th-Dec-2012 09:13 pm (UTC)
Blame the parents, they're the ones giving consent for their children to talk to the media.
spider_orchid 14th-Dec-2012 09:27 pm (UTC)
Yes I take issue, but some parents are LETTING their kids talk to the media.
shuttered 14th-Dec-2012 09:07 pm (UTC)
While you're "praying" ask god why it's ok to murder babies
distant_lines 14th-Dec-2012 09:09 pm (UTC)
Because they had to die for our sins, duh.

Fox News was telling everyone to go to church and pray

EW.
theactualworst 14th-Dec-2012 09:36 pm (UTC)
Ugh I can't even deal with religion. My niece was born extremely premature and when she started doing better my family was like "The power of prayer!" The power of doctors, medicine, and technology anyone?

Also, couldn't we say it's God's fault she was premature? And round and round it goes...
xcollsangelx 14th-Dec-2012 10:09 pm (UTC)
The praying shit kills me. If there was a god, how could he let this happen?

mikachanyo 14th-Dec-2012 10:57 pm (UTC)
these comments are so fucking stupid.
chvnel 14th-Dec-2012 09:09 pm (UTC)
this week can kiss my ass. One of my best friends died on the 12th and now all of this.
too many people are dying young, and all at the hands of other human beings and it's fucking disgusting.

I'm really sorry for your loss. My cousin was killed last weekend, still trying to cope.
fwee_prower 14th-Dec-2012 09:09 pm (UTC)
So basically Ryan Lanza's brother went and killed their mom, and all those children and people then then killed himself and the media blamed Ryan.

wow.

jessepinkman 14th-Dec-2012 09:12 pm (UTC)

jaimelannister 14th-Dec-2012 09:13 pm (UTC)

jesus christ. who WHO thinks its reasonable/okay for people to use assault rifles under any circumstances at all? like a handgun, okay that seems at least semi-reasonable but assualt rifles seriously
frklphace 14th-Dec-2012 09:19 pm (UTC)
no it wasn't it was a handgun.

That's a whole lotta gun.
supermishelle 14th-Dec-2012 09:13 pm (UTC)
My cousin was shot and killed on Saturday. Now this. To see people dismiss all of these dead children and still supporting gun ownership makes me want to take a fucking bat to their face.

ABC just said that there are barricades to stop reporters from getting at community members.
supermishelle 14th-Dec-2012 09:15 pm (UTC)
I seriously CANNOT believe they're trying to interview these children right now. Soulless shits.
mynamehere07 14th-Dec-2012 09:21 pm (UTC)
GOOD.

Although some of the parents of the surviving children are calling news channels
yurasama_love 14th-Dec-2012 09:22 pm (UTC)
I can't with some people.
threeatatimejay 14th-Dec-2012 11:18 pm (UTC)

Clearly the NRA need to sit in a room and stare at this graph until they do something about it.
manu19 14th-Dec-2012 09:16 pm (UTC)
im sure they'd just spin those numbers to their favor somehow
jessepinkman 14th-Dec-2012 09:17 pm (UTC)
theyd def agree that the best idea would be to require everyone to carry a weapon
yim_yames 14th-Dec-2012 10:14 pm (UTC)
but they donate so much money to educate people how to properly use a gun!!11!

I can't with those asshats
champagnexdream 14th-Dec-2012 09:16 pm (UTC)
What's the source on this? I need to post it to a few assholes on Facebook and I know they're going to ask.

hearthecity 14th-Dec-2012 09:17 pm (UTC)
some states make it so easy to get guns that the stricter laws in other states become useless. There really needs to be some federal legislation on this.
hershelwalker 14th-Dec-2012 09:18 pm (UTC)
where's this from? if it's legit it needs to be posted all over the fucking place.

iamthepirate007 14th-Dec-2012 09:13 pm (UTC)
Now this girl on my fb is saying it's a conspiracy so that government can have gun laws. really, really. I wish people didn't have to give their input on things like this.
kurtvonnegut 14th-Dec-2012 09:25 pm (UTC)
it's not like you have to listen? delete her?
