I mean this is another one this month http://news.msn.com/us/neighbor-wyoming-killer-was-upset-with-father
It's not after we have to be concerned about. I'll pull together a lineup of the usual suspects and make a thread over the next few days tying them to autism.
My boss' son is in a program for "independent living" for people with disabilities, etc.....he had a roommate a few years ago with Aspergers who threatened to shoot up his workplace (it was a petsmart) for some reason....police got involved but nothing happened really and he just went to live with his mom again.
No. Life isn't riskless. And there's an emotional cost to your kids by keeping them in a bubble. I have friends who tried to protect their children from everything. As a result, they are the most timid, fearful and incapable adolecents I've ever seen. I don't see anything wrong with my son riding a bike without a helmet, not being in a car seat or riding in the back of a pickup. However, I don't have that freedom. Some legislator thinks they know better than I do how to raise my child. Newsflash: You can't protect yourself or your children from everything. When you try, you simply paralyze the child. Why do so when the risk is so low?
The constitution protects the right of free speech - but that won't save you if you get caught with kiddie porn.. The 1st amendmant also protects freedom of religion - but society draws the line at human sacrifice. The Bill of Rights protects against search and seizure - but only if they are unreasonable. My point is that rights aren't unlimited. I am a gun owner and I respect the Bill of Rights......but "freedom" and "common sense" are not incompatible.
earlier, we had comments about perspective. Here is some real perspective. All from Jake Tapper @jaketapper Allison Wyatt was six. Benjamin Wheeler was six. Teacher Victoria Soto was 27. Mary Sherlach, the school psychologist, was 56. Lauren Rousseau, a teacher, was 30. Avielle Richman was six. Jessica Rekos was six. Caroline Previdi was six. Noah Pozner was six. Jack Pinto was six. Emilie Parker was six. Anne Marie Murphy was 52. Grace McDonnell was seven. James Mattioli was five. Jesse Lewis was six. Chase Kowalski was seven. Catherine Hubbard was six. Madeleine Hsu was six. Dawn Hochsprung, the principal, was 47. Dylan Hockley was six. Ana Marquez-Greene was six. Josephine Gay was seven. Olivia Engel was six. Rachel Davino was 29. Daniel Barden was seven. Charlotte Bacon was six. I didn't highlight the ages of the adults not because their deaths aren't important, but to emphasize the ages of the young.
Is that what you got out of that post? If so, I apologize. I take it you were affected as well? One neice, 9 years old. Two god-children, 5 and 7. Trying to put one in the oven myself.
Of course Westboro had to make some kind of statement. "God sent the shooter" The most vile trolls on the planet.
'Gun-packing nutball' and 'self-dellusion' do not follow from CC. The thought that it does, could indicate cognitive damage. Maybe you should be locked up (assuming you are not currently).
Again, what comes through in your post is poor reasoning -- ridiculous conclusions based on nothing but your own ignorance. I'd be more concerned with that (i.e., getting designated as cognitively impaired), than I would my imagined friends. By the way, an AR-15 does not fit anyone's understanding of CC. Learn to deal with your emotions more appropriately -- everyone will be better off.
