If you remember anything about the Sandy Hook Shooting, remember one of these names, or all of them. Do not give the gunman the satisfaction he wants by remembering how horrific a person he was or glorifying what he has done on television. Remember one of these names, and pray for the family of one of these names because during this Christmas season, these families are facing a horrible time in their lives. Help them to recover from this tragedy, send condolences and anything else they may need.

Give thanks for what you have, and the people that you have and the people you care about that are alive and well. This is a terrible tragedy in our Nation, and we need to support each other and help each other instead of glorifying a mad man on national television. Instead, help those who need it, and remember those who can no longer be with us.

This man was mentally ill, but he was 20 years old. He knew the difference between right and wrong and fiction vs. reality. Don't blame this on gun laws, or violent video games. Their is nothing to blame this on except for the man who did this. It wasn't because of the fact that we are allowed to have guns, or because the man played violent video games. It was because this man was disturbed. He know right from wrong, and he knew what he was doing. He made a decision, a horrible one. But it was HIS decision. The gun is just metal and wood, until SOMEONE picks it up and uses it. It's up to the PERSON to use it for GOOD or BAD.

Honestly, the media needs to stop glorifying this as well. This community has been destroyed, and all the media can do is shove more of it in their face. Think about how they feel every time they turn on the TV and are reminded each and every time of  the worst day of their lives and of what tore their family apart. Stop making this mad man look like a celebrity and saying how this will be the most gruesome event since the Tech Shooting. That is not good publicity, it's horrible. It's what makes people do these things. Otherwise, those lowlifes would off themselves in their basement. Instead, they want to be remembered by what a horrible person they were and giving them the satisfaction, will not help to keep future events from happening.

Stop publicizing this and instead, publicize how to help these families in need. How to comfort these families that have just witnessed the most horrific times in their lives. Help these families to recover from this terrible tragedy. This of how to makes this Christmas better for them, because no matter what, every Christmas they will think of the time they had to bury their 6 or 7 year old CHILD. Help them. DO NOT GLORIFY THE MAD MAN, send your condolences and be happy and thankful for what you have. Come together as a nation with a helping hand instead of trying to blame this in something other than a horrible man.

Well Said Stranger..

"You want to know why (The Sandy Hook Shooting occurred). This may sound cynical, but here's why.

It's because of the way the media reports it. Flip on the news and watch how we treat the Batman theater shooter and the Oregon mall shooter like celebrities. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are household names, but do you know the name of a single victim of Columbine? Disturbed

people who would otherwise just off themselves in their basements see the news and want to top it by doing something worse, and going out in a memorable way. Why a grade school? Why children? Because he'll be remembered as a horrible monster, instead of a sad nobody.

CNN's article says that if the body count "holds up", this will rank as the second deadliest shooting behind Virginia Tech, as if statistics somehow make one shooting worse than another. Then they post a video interview of third-graders for all the details of what they saw and heard while the shootings were happening. Fox News has plastered the killer's face on all their reports for hours. Any articles or news stories yet that focus on the victims and ignore the killer's identity? None that I've seen yet. Because they don't sell. So congratulations, sensationalist media, you've just lit the fire for someone to top this and knock off a day care center or a maternity ward next.

You can help by forgetting you ever read this man's name, and remembering the name of at least one victim. You can help by donating to mental health research instead of pointing to gun control as the problem. You can help by turning off the news."

Well said whoever you are, I would like to shake your hand"

This World is Turning to Shit.

What happened in Newtown, Connecticut literally disgusts me.

The fact that the reporters and investigators are trying to pin this and blame this on Black Ops II and the races of the child victims makes me want to vomit. This had nothing to do with violent video games. The man was 20 years old. He KNEW what he was doing. He KNEW right from wrong and he KNEW fiction from reality.

This horrible man killed his mother at her home, then drove to Sandy Hook Elementary School several miles away. It was predetermined. He thought this out, planned this out, and then committed the actions that have taken place.

He took the lives of innocent children. No matter the race, they were kindergarten and first grade students! The ages ranged from a mere 5 years old to a whopping 10 years old. Those children couldn't have done anything to deserve the violent deaths they endured. Not to mention the trauma that the other children will have to have psychological help to over come. They will live with this event their entire lives. They will remember this horrific day until the day they die.

Witnessing something so terrible can cause severe psychological problems in the future if those kids don't start to get help now. All they did was go to school on a Friday morning. They were doing what the government demands of us. I'm not saying education isn't important, but that's all they were doing.

Not to mention the poor parents of the deceased, who have to bear the holidays without their children. Imagine getting the phone call that your child of only 5 years old was shot and killed at his/her elementary school. It's terrible. I pray for those families and my hearts go out to them. My heart is breaking for them and I cry for them because I cannot imagine what they are going through. I am not a mother yet, but I know that one day I will be. I also know that I have cousins, and (my someday) niece and nephew of the same ages that I could not imagine living without. I cannot express how horrible I feel about this tragedy and I hope that these families will one day be able to get back to normal, or however close to normal they can get.
