If you’re going a shooting rampage can you at least limit it to billionaire ceos and leave the world a better place? Fuck.
ButtersTheCat
Wait - having Jesus in school didn't stop it??
freshthrowaway1138
A school with both prayer and the 10 Commandments being displayed? But I was told this wouldn't happen if we did these things!
4chanrefugee
They had the wrong translation of the ten commandments.
HEARTS0FSPACE
I went there. Graduated in 2004. I'm an atheist now, but it was a great school with great people who really cared. I can't believe this happened there. I'm having a hard time processing it. It's just so sad.
supermario182
Let's see if they put as much effort into this as they did funding Luigi
dudehiemer
If it was a board of directors instead of a school this story would be much bigger.

but I THOUGHT THIS STUFF WOULDN't happen at private schools‽...
duhqueenmoki
they've happened at private schools before, they just don't make the news as much cuz ppl hadn't died till now. Case in point, this is from just a few weeks ago https://apnews.com/article/butte-county-california-school-shooting-1a183fcd1670d47dedeff81d9f1ce492

Damn. I was really hoping the shootings in America were going to trend toward a new venue.
4chanrefugee
An armed gunman went to shoot up a showing of Kraven at the Multiplex in Avon, MA but was thwarted by the lack of an audience.
JackalopeElope
No no. When shit happens to other people it's divine wrath or secular nihilism. When shit happens to them it's demonic attacks or persecution. Heads, I win. Tails, you lose.
duhqueenmoki
So happy murdered kids right before Christmas worked out for you to make a jab at religion in these comments
JackalopeElope
I'm so glad religion keeps using tragedies and fairytales as an excuse to seize power and shittify my nation and the world.
duhqueenmoki
I'm betting she didn't shoot those kids and herself because of religion. You're the one using the tragedy as your own soap box.
JackalopeElope
Okay, why would you bet that? Kids in insular conditions often feel enormous pressure from religion. Do you have an alternative reason she did it that you like better??
duhqueenmoki
Only the fact that religion has never been a motive for a teen school shooter, this doesn't seem any different. Mental health, access to guns, same as always. Of course we'll see, so who knows. In your defense, it wouldn't be the first time a religious school is targeted. This guy tried to kill kindergartners in California for example, over what's happening in Palestine. Only a few weeks ago.

As of now, they revised it to 3 dead, 2 in critical condition, and several wounded. The dead is the shooter, a teacher, and a student.

The onions post today was "first time we've had to repost this about our own home town"

The onion is supposed to be parody, that's literally the argument they give.
loma45
Part of parody is highlighting the absurdity of reality. Something the Onion does beautifully
imgonnaralph
It's funny because it's true . . .
SergeyPrkl
Here in FInland there were a parody magazine from 70's to end of 90's early 2000's when they stopped. Reason they laid down was offically announced on public broadcast services: "Reality have become so absurd, the parodies we are writing, have become reality, and honestly, we can't come up with so weird stuff that happens now, we decided to lay down the business for good to avoid be mistaken as truth."
Becker37
I feel really bad for the people involved but what is it going to take? How many have to die? What we need is a real leader. Someone who sees the truth of it all and can get shit done however it needs doing.

No, it fit where I put it. Anyone believing in Roko's Basilisk is an idiot.

Do you honestly believe there are people that believe in a thought experiment as an actual entity? Sounds like you're inventing a whole class of people to smugly preserve your imagined sense of adequacy.

Do you honestly believe there are people that believe in a magical sky god that sends the people they hate to eternal suffering after they die? Sounds like you're inventing a whole class of people to smugly preserve your imagined sense of adequacy.

ah yes, this country is back to normal. all is right in the world when a bunch of kids die. cant wait for the mandatory *the sound of children screaming has been removed* tapes....
MrWobblyHead
Where was their god? If the Christian god exists and didn't stop a shooting in a Christian school, they either let it happen or don't have the power to stop it. There will be a lot of prayers directed at that same god. It's all thoughts and prayers and no action.
netutoring
Merry fucking Christmas. *bitter*
insertwittyjoke
What the fuck are these comments? Children are dead and it's just a lot of people using their deaths as political clout to take pot shots at religion. I'm sorry but to anyone participating in this, you're not the good guy here. Nobody laughing at dead kids has any moral high ground to stand on.

Luigi just showed people how a gunman can actually make a name for themselves, and these losers are still out there shooting up kids.
Qualtagh
the shooter was also a kid
stillnotawake
Luigi didn't start the fire. It was burning since the world was turning.
AtLeastImWearingUnderwear
As a non American, can anyone tell me why specifically schools? I mean, I understand when it's a pupil (puberty is hard) - understand, not excuse but sometimes it's a man who just decides to mow down a bunch of innocent children. American parents must be beside themselves
MrWobblyHead
A lot of people in a small place? Little or no security to deal with? Killing children has a greater effect on the public than adults? It's been done before and fucked up people like to copy? There are just guesses from another non-American.
Shawnthegirl
As an American parent, I freak out a little frequently. People make their jokes, which have valid points like how prayer in school didn't stop this - but I'm sitting here trying not to cry.
SquiggleSquaggleSqwoo
Maybe if enough private Christians schools have shootings the GOP will actually allow something to be done about it.
Until change happens, this will just be another Monday morning notification. Totally inundated to it.
DWolf
It would have to be private boarding schools and other schools where the donor class send their kids. Therese were still poors' kids. /s
RunawaySpoons
Only if it directly affects the people who control the money. They don't care about children or any other people.
duhqueenmoki
this isn't the first private school shooting or religious school shooting, just the first to make headlines. Here's another one from just a few weeks ago, California https://apnews.com/article/butte-county-california-school-shooting-1a183fcd1670d47dedeff81d9f1ce492

We have one similar here. The immaculate conception school is right across the street from the hospital's birthing center.

Abondon* Life Christian School
tetondons
It's kind of a weird name for a school to begin with.
HEARTS0FSPACE
It's a reference to John 10:10 "I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly." Believe it or not, I was actually an ALCS student. I graduated in 2004. I'm an atheist now, but I honestly only have good things to say about the school and the parent church "City Church" formerly "Lake City Church." Of course, I can't comment on the current state of either, but my experience was a good one. Good people, good teachers, and not nearly the level of indoctrination one might expect.

Midioto
What made you think that? Tried to look it up, there is something like 40k gun deaths each year and you picked one, just ONE, and thought it meant something? Besides, I thought it was the crazies that pulled out a gun and started shooting people and why would they ever listen? It was just a coincidence that this one was “useful”, but life will just keep going on.
SlammedCarsAreRuinedCars
He's out of line, but he's right
Scar1203
In the grand scheme of things you're not wrong, all the violence that's been happening will continue in all its various forms. That being said I do think it's likely the CEO shooting and subsequent widespread public support will likely inspire others if for no other reason than getting their 15 minutes of fame.
Midioto
I’ll see if I can frame it. As I understand, the shooter was a Republican, not a democrat. He had his reasons for shooting, but it wasn’t to promote a leftist ideology. That was just a coincidence. There probably WILL be copycats, but they will also likely be the unstable kind. I don’t think the next one will pick such a convenient and celebrated target - they will attack someone THEY hate, not WE hate. 50/50 they could pick someone we love too. We wont get to pick the next vigilante target. :’(
pleaseconsiderthatImightbejoking
Well it's tge one thst led to a nationwide manhunt, so obviously it was important
Midioto
It wasn’t a nationwide manhunt, it was confined to the ONE city where the guy lived and where he did the crime. A nation watched it on the telly, but they were just passive observers.
DisgruntledFerret
Not that guy at least, apparently. He's dead though.

Mamaof2QTs
Dang. I was considering sending my daughter to an all girls school to protect her from shooters.
Scar1203
Statistically that's still pretty damn effective, male shooters account for 96% or so of mass shootings so it's not as if female shooters were unheard of even before this, just really uncommon.
