Mass murder is the killing of several at or around the same time. I don't know about boring or kids not deserving a vigil. I guess that's one of those IMO things.

Kids who are in class could be anybody's kids, but kids who are drunk and fighting in a parking lot are always somebody else's kids.
JMO.
Yes, dead is dead, but tthis sounds no differet then the every day run of the mill shooting that doesn't get press and only got press because it was on the grounnds of a school.
I totaly agree we coddle our kids these days but I just have a hard time equatinng coddling to psychopathic behavior.
Agree 100%
MOOO
I'm almost positive I didn't say "who cares". My point is there are shootings every day and more than half don't get reported. This sounds like one of those shootings and is only being made a bid deal because it was near a campus. Good grief.

No shooting should be just another shooting. They're all big deals. Imagine if they all got press. There'd be no time for any other news.

Who said anything about psychotic behavior? I certainly didn't, nor do I believe that the perpetrators in this incident or the Northern Arizona University shooting are mentally ill. These unfortunate shootings resulted from interpersonal altercations that escalated into violent behavior. These incidents are not in the same league as rampage shootings involving young men who were known to have mental health issues, i.e. Adam Lanza (Sandy Hook) or Chris Harper-Mercer (Umpqua Community College). :moo:

"HOUSTON Police continued their search for a suspect Monday after releasing two men detained last week in connection with the fatal shooting of an 18-year-old student at Texas Southern University.
Classes resumed Monday at the Houston campus where freshman Brent Randall was killed in a parking lot outside a school apartment complex. A second person was wounded in the gunfire and remained hospitalized in stable condition, police said.
Police said Friday they had detained two of three men seen running into the Courtyard Apartments after the shooting earlier in the day. The man still being sought was then seen fleeing through a side door.
Police spokesman Victor Senties said Monday the men who were questioned have since been released."
