"You're Despicable"

[Riley]

I know two famous people who have Aspergers. The one shining example is Daryl Hannah. Worked alongside Uma Thurman AND played Morticia Addams. Almost as inspirational to me as Diane Pershing is.

The second...'Infamous' is a better word for him. Heck, he might not even HAVE Aspergers. The info did come from Wikipedia. His name? Adam Lanza.

Now, I claim to hate little kids and call them stupid over things like McMartin and Teen Titans Go! But my BIGGEST berserk button is ANYONE being cruel to or even hurting/killing a child. Another side note: I constantly joke about Colorado and its many shootings.

But what Lanza did is downright awful. I'm all fine-and-cool if you shoot people in your own age range. That's 'acceptable' in a sense. But CHILDREN?!?! What the heck do they ever do to you?

We all recall how another famous shooter claimed to be The Joker. Did Lanza fancy himself The Penguin and decide to enact his 'revenge' on the first-borns of Sandy Hook? If so: I'm *pretty* sure some of the victims *weren't* first borns.

Wikipedia also suggests he was obsessed with shootings like Columbine and Virginia Tech. As a stickler to accuracy to a source, I have to say this: If you wanna imitate those two, SHOOT TEENS AND YOUNG ADULTS! CHILDREN ATTEND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL! HOW DUMB ARE YOU?!

If you think that killing children on a mass scale is anything new. check out the biblical story about Moses. The king/pharaoh of Egypt at that time order the mass killing of tens of thousands of children, all because someone prophesized that he was gonna be dethroned one day and went mad.

 

[On the Inside]

Don't claim to know much about Lanza, I am not keen on reading much about that sort of thing. I do recall reading that his mother was a bit of a nut job, though, and his dad seemed a bit of a prick. Lack of proper parental involvement can lead to all sorts of trouble.

For the first time EVER, someone attributes the killings to the HUMAN BEING, rather than our Creator!

I don't see any difference between killing an innocent adult to a child. They're both inexcusable acts.

seconded.
its just because kids are yet to have built a personality and are as such innocent to the world but i dont think that is a reason to accept murder of teens or adults.
adam lanza was a prick with mental illness,i dont think aspergers came into it ,to be able to kill you would need to lack morals,empathy etc,people on the spectrum are notoriously strongly moralled and empathetic in their own way when it comes to many.

Funny. I thought to kill, you'd have to KNOW how to do it. I always thought my morals kept me from slaughtering every last one of my family. Though when I said this to some family members messing with me (Just to make me throw a fit), I brought up my point.

One said I don't know how to load a gun.

You don't need to "know" how to kill. It's part of our flight or flight response. It's an instinct. Even people with very severe cognitive difficulties have the ability to kill.

You also don't need to know about to load a gun in order to kill, the act of doing so is very easy, a child could do it, and they do. In areas of Africa for example where they're forced to fight in the name of one warlord or another. Very macabre isn't it?

Also Herod, in his search for baby Jesus.

I am lost on the point of this thread.
It appeared that OP's intention was to reiterate
the time honored saying:
Pick on somebody your own size.

I am not certain of the extent of value this
discussion has.
