Question

the shooting at NIU??

so i live in illinios not to far away from the shooting took place.. alot of my friends go there.. what do u think about it?

Answer 1

Too absolutely senseless and awful for words to discribe. It makes me livid that kids can't feel safe going to get an education! When I was going to school where I grew up the most I feared were the boys waiting to throw snowballs!

This society is disgusting. Technology is way too far advanced for our own good, and "family" values have gone to ****!

Answer 2

Answer 3

Senseless, yet everywhere.

like all other crime, innocents lost their lives.

It's become the TV way to get recognition.

So Sorry lives were lost to a madman.

Answer 4

What the h**l is wrong with these kids? It seems as though it happens every 2 weeks now.

Answer 5

To be honest, there are soooo many ppl walking around with mental health issues that are either not diagnosed, treated or medicated and all the HIPPA laws that protect their privacy and keep ppl from knowing they are high risk, I am surprised we dont see and hear MORE of it than we do.

Answer 6

I personally can't get over the amount of school shootings lately...(well...w/in like the last 5 years or so...)

What is going on?? When I was a kid (i'm 34), this would totally be unheard of!!! WTF???!!!!! I just don't get it...

Obviously these kids have issues...are the parents just not around to help them? So this is the only way they feel that someone will take notice?? crazy....

Answer 7

This saddens me, all of our family went to this college. I live 20 miles away.

Answer 8

i'm from omaha and not so long ago there was a mall shooting.  the guy who did it shot 5 and himself.  plus, he had a mental health history, so what really concerns me is why aren't these people getting any help before they go this far.  this could all be avoided.  maybe not always, but in most cases there are signs.

Answer 9

tragic and senseless--

it reflects how little regard human life has become

I grew up in Kankakee, so I, too, am familiar with the area
