    Michigan Legislature stays in session until 4:30 a.m. to pass bill allowing guns to be carried in schools and day-care centers.

    Should make a great visual on the evening news. Governor Kochslurper can sign the gun-nut bill on one side of the screen as dead children are carried out of the school on the other side.

    On air personalities are news readers, and are often NOT great interviewers. Remove them from the teleprompter, and all bets are off.

    Some jackass 24 hour news idiot just asked a lady whether she thought her daughter would be in school on Monday. WHAT. THE. FUCK. Do these news readers have ANY fucking brains?

    Just heard there might be a dozen fatalities, including both adults and kids.

    This one's gonna be bad, maybe one of the worst ever, because of the victims involved, the way the media covers this stuff now, and, frankly, the outspokenness of people in the Northeast. You will see rage.

    CBS said preliminary reports are 27 dead.

    Girl I work with, her sister's kids go to school in Newtown but at a different elementary.

    Devil's advocacy: Couldn't someone carrying when this broke out have saved a lot of people?

    At first it was looking like 2-3 dead. Now I'm seeing 27. Jesus Christ. At least 10 are children.

    Once the whole story on this one is out there, I think you would say, "1 percent chance."

    A person carrying gun doesn't = prepared for a quick strike assault.

    It may be more than 27.

    Dear God. Really? At a school?

    When bullets fly, people get hit. People. Human beings. This goddamn bullshit of "if someone ELSE had a gun, they'd have been safer" is the stupidest thing I think I've ever heard. Yeah. MORE guns is the answer.

    Sheesh.

    I watched all the early, early morning Aurora coverage. It was an absolute horror show on the 24-hour networks.
