CBC says that 19 people were injured and one person was killed by the gunman and then the police killed the shooter...
This is so so sad  |

| The police seemed to have learned a thing from the Columbine. Get in quickly and save children instead of standing outside until the killer runs out of bullets. |

Let me state I'm playing arm chair general safe in my lil apartment and no one is asking me to run in a dark building with a gun wielding nut. |

Toddler dies in shootout
July 10, 2005, Los Angeles, California. Jos� Raul Pe�a,
while high on cocaine, threatened his wife, took his
19-month-old daughter Suzie Marie Lopez
(or Susie Marie Pe�a) hostage, then used the
child as a human shield while he shot it out with
the LAPD SWAT team. Pe�a fired more than 40
shots at the police and the police fired more than
100 rounds at Pe�a.
Deaths: Pe�a: 1; child: 1; police: 0
See: CNN News, LA Times, NewsMax.com

It's never an easy call. |

This is inappropriate, sure, but it's also not funny and doesn't follow logically. 
Hanson, I hope everyone is safe and out of harm's way. |

Yeah, that might be the dumbest post so far this month. Because, er, Korea doesn't allow people who have ever been shot before to enter the country. (Beej: since I know you didn't get that I'll explain: 19 of them didn't die.) |

I think that's the generally accepted idea of what Goths are all about, yes.
Mind you, with Goths, it's hard to separate the reality from the stereotype. For me, anyway. I tend to hear about them more than I actually encounter them. |

I wasnt trying to be funny. I was just commenting on the inordinate amount of Canadians who come to Korea to teach English. Something that has been touched upon countless times before.
If the incident in Montreal I used to express this saddens or depresses you, so be it.
One man's Columbine is another man's Jonesboro. |
