Mrs Factual used to work for A Major American Organisation. At work they'd have periodic drills for a rampaging gunman scenario. |  |

Sadly they have active shooter drills in elementary schools too. I was volunteering at my kids school when they had one. Nothing like crying kids cowering in a bathroom to remind you what a stupid, backward, misguided, delusional, idiotic messed up place this country can be. |  |

A fixation with fire arms can never be a good thing. Unfortunately even with stringent rules here the worst can still happen, it’s all very sad , feel for the victims and their families. |  | |  |
Harrowing news coming out of Plymouth on 11:31 - Aug 13 with 825 views | ArnoldMoorhen | I wish the news media in the UK followed the policy in New Zealand and refused to name or picture those involved in attacks like this. For news editors it is all about the pictures "If we haven't got the pictures, we haven't got a story." This is a picture that we could have all lived without seeing. To have this cnt staring out from the top of the BBC homepage gives him a significance that he doesn't deserve. |  | |  |

I often find myself thinking about that when watching crime documentaries. A common thread with a lot of these people is that they want to be seen. The culprit had stated that he felt defeated by life and clearly craved some attention by the fact that he had a YouTube channel on which he talked about his overall dissatisfaction with how the world perceived him. The overwhelming majority of people will naturally feel repulsed by his actions but seeing his face plastered across the media could easily inspire others of a similar disposition. People that don't feel they have anything to lose and believe they have a mission to complete. It's unnerving to think people like this walk among us and that you never really know how unhinged someone is until they snap. |  |
