Default 10 dead after rampage at a Boulder Colorado supermarket

10 people have been killed including one police officer at a Boulder Colorado Supermarket.



Quote : A suspect is in custody, Boulder Police Chief Maris Herold said, but authorities did not share any information on his identity, the type of weapon used or any possible motive. It has been reported by authorities that the weapon used was an AR style rifle.

The fatal shooting at the King Soopers store comes less than a week after attacks with weapons left eight people dead.



The Police Officer who was killed, 51-year-old Eric Talley, was one of the first to respond to the scene.

Sad news-Followed it on CNN until bedtime.

I live under the Prime Directive-not pointing fingers or telling the Americans how things should be done.

I only pray that one day the Americans say ENOUGH.

What does enough mean? That we isolate and divide each other even further by pro-gun, anti-gun, religion, who has a more comprehensive plan than the last, politics, skin color, defining the 2nd amendment, origin, slogans, or by the political media personality we listen too? Isn't that what incidents like this always turns into? Hows that helped, feel free to speak up, anyone? In my opinion it doesnt it just perpetuates it.

Everyone speaks the language they grew up hearing as a child. The questions should revolve around what CAUSED him to act as he did. Couple that with mental instability what else can we expect to happen? In this world we live in there are individuals that do bad things and hurt people for a multitude of reasons. Do the continued arguments mentioned above stop any of it? Hell no it doesn't.

Maybe increase wages, better living conditions, economic security, less internet, less political divide, less war, less divisiveness, less strife in the news. Or maybe we can develop the technology and chip people or inject them with something that makes them more docile.

Bad people do bad things. They've done so since the beginning of "civilization", and will continue long after we're dead.

And the usual, experienced ritual begins...

As long as so many people, after these many, many incidents, still refuse to ask why in their society these things happen so very very often any way more often than in other civilised countries, my sympathy remains limited.

Wer nicht hören will, muß eben fühlen.

A culture gloryfying violenc, and media focussing on fear-raising sensationalism, create an emotional cultural climate that was well described and corfectly identified as a key answer in Bowling For Columbine. Violent neurotism.
