So OK........ your life sucks. Go out in the woods and pull the trigger, end your life............... do it where there is no mess to clean up and nobody else gets hurt. Only a coward would go to a mall to take people out with him so he can be famous

my grandma works there and today was her day off
so she went with my aunt and godchild...as they were
leaving my grandma went upstairs to the customer service
to say hi to all of her friends while my aunt went and got
the car. As my aunt was getting off the elevator the gunman
was 2. My aunt was on the elevator with him. Then my grandma heard
the gunshots and went and hid with 2 other women. The man tried to
open the door to the back of customer service but he didnt know how to.
She said when she was taken out by the cops she saw blood coming from
her friends.

'These were innocent people going about their daily lives and shopping for the holiday. While it is impossible to make sense of the events that have occurred -- this was an act of cowardice,' Fahey said. We are a community who will grieve this loss. Omaha is a good city with wonderful people. We will not accept this evil act.'

First of all, who is innocent? Who is innocent of what? What are daily lives and what does it matter to a situation where they were shot with an AK-47? Does shopping make you an innocent person? Does shopping make you a good person? It is impossible to make sense of the events that have occurred, so long as you still have a stilted, subjective view of a situation. There is no act of cowardice, no act of bravery. You are a community who will grieve this loss. You are community who will never understand violence. Omaha is a city, good or bad, depends on who's flapping their gums. Wonderful or horrible, 'evil' or 'good', what does this have to do with the situation at hand?

Ban Guns. But wait..That will hurt Bush's cronies.

Just wonder why USA calls middle-easterns and third world countries un-civilized?. Un-civilized are right here at home.

Why was he frustrated? Because no moral values are taught to kids at home (to busy) or at school or somewhere else.

Wake up people, do you want your kids growing up like that?

One thing that I can't keep thinking about. Last Sunday the front page of the Omaha World Herald printed an article about Charles Starkweather, the teen who terrorized the midwest on a killing rampage in the 50's. The tee forever remembered for his heinous acts. I can't help wondering if Hawkings read that article last weekend. Now, this Sunday the Mall Massacre (the media gave it a nice catchy name) is the front page headline story for the Omaha World Herald. I think the media, including television media, help glamorize these crimes and give people with personal problems and identity problems this idea that they will be famous after their death. My condolences to all the families touched by this tragedy and needless lose of life.
