The victims are young children, so this is very sad.
The "gunman" is said to be dead.
I wonder if this is a case of beta-male rage, especially Asian beta-male rage?
* * *
The female principal of the elementary school, who is among the dead, may have been the gunman's primary target. Disgruntled employee?
***
SECOND SHOOTER???
Abc news reported "State Police confirm that one shooter is dead. A second gunman is apparently at large, sources told ABC News."
* * *
Second shooter may be driving a maroon van. (This reminds me of the DC Sniper incident when everyone was looking for a white van which turned out to be a completely bogus lead.)
* * *
Shooter may have been parent of one of the children who attends the school.
* * *
"Dozens" of victims and a least a dozen dead. Wow, that was one angry beta male.
* * *
The New Haven Register reports that there's no second shooter. Which makes a lot more sense to me. This sounds like a beta-male rage incident, and beta-males always work alone.
* * *
27 dead, including 18 children. Wow.
* * *
NBC says: "The gunman, who is dead, was a 20-year-old from Connecticut, an official said. He was wearing all black and was carrying two 9mm handguns."
Too young to be a parent or a teacher. Maybe he was a janitor?
* * *
"ABC said the shooter was an employee who had been fired earlier in the morning and returned with an assault weapon, shot a school employee and then shot himself."
This actually doesn't fit my definition of beta-male rage, which is more calculated. This sounds like it was spur of the moment.
* * *
29 dead, 22 of them children.
* * *
Shooter's mom found dead?
It's probably a white guy.

I'm watching on the news. Lots of confused information.
I'm sick. This is horrible.

Lots of great blogging material today. On the subject of Omegas, there was a recently broken up Omega male plot to kill Justin Bieber. Looks like the Omegas are restless.

Omigod. On ABC News a ditsy female reporter just interviewed a 10-year old. Geezus. The 10-year old girl's parents allowed her to be interviewed.
It seems as though everyone wants the chance to be interviewed on TV.
ABC News has a dopey psychologist saying nothing, saying schools are "magnets". He knows nothing of beta male rage. What a dumb dipshit.
They are talking about how "bizarre" it would be if these killings were done by a parent. If they understood beta male rage, this wouldn't be so inexplicable.
And of course they are talking about "guns."
ABC News is just babbling.
Switched to CBS. More cogent.
27 dead, 14 children.
I am sick.

"I wonder if this is a case of beta-male rage"
Beta males don't rage.
"that was one angry beta male"
The angry beta males are the fathers of any dead children.
"This sounds like a beta-male rage incident,"
Nope, never beta, always omega.
All these incidents are omega male rage, there is NO exception.
Betas don't rage, omega losers do.
"and beta-males always work alone."
Beta males NEVER work alone or live alone, omegas do. Beta males are CLASSIC herd animals. They like people, they are people pleasers by nature.

I'm guessing this school was a firearm free zone, yet someone broke that Democrat-created gun law... This senseless tragedy could have been avoided if we did not make it illegal for children to own guns.

This is a national tragedy, and Presidents are expected to do and say something at times like this.
Obama will deliver a healing sermon. They will compare him to Lincoln. Perhaps he will even deserve it.

The two words you won't hear in the news reports about the shootings: Family court.
I'm not excusing anything, but it's the elephant in the room...

There's a lot of bad information out there. Media and twitter have said there was one gunman, others said two gunmen. Varying number of casualties. There were reports of a maroon van. So in the neighboring city of Danbury, there was a report that police had stopped 20 maroon vans. I doubt there are 20 maroon vans in Danbury (pop about 70K I guess). So let's wait a little while for the correct facts to emerge.

Lots of junk info now. I'm tuning out until tonight.
One prediction I feel reasonably safe in making: the killer was a low IQ male. That means he probably wasn't Asian. We'll find out soon enough.

Unless they're being massed for war against other nations.

If he's a janitor, there's a good chance it could be a NAM. I agree with JayNE that this is the kind of behavior you would expect from a low-IQ male. You have to be pretty depraved to shoot a bunch of kids just because you lost your job.

I predicted that Obama would come out well in this. It's awful to observe such things in the wake of such a horrible crime, but it's true. Isn't pointing out these awkward truths what this blog is for?

"The victims are young children, so this is very sad."
I was genuinely upset by this shooting for about an hour this afternoon. Then I checked Facebook and half of my SWPL friends had all of a sudden become experts on guns, gun control, and child psychology. Now I'm just annoyed.

I'm not sure if its satire, hopefully it is, but either way that is a really perfect encapsulation of a truly absurd viewpoint.
