What can they do to stop this trend?

I agree Esteban...we must increase security. But still..I don't agree to Obama asking for a gun ban as a result of this tragedy. I strongly believe in the right to bear arms.

Perhaps more security everywhere.

@ Rose - Trend of murder suicide - killing spree in public places or schools then committing suicide after killing so many innocent people.

@Rose Frankie. Thanks for the worthy mention of this topic

It has nothing to with THEY, it has to do with the weakness of individuals allowing a drifting to invade their persona. THEY have insidiously made it so easy to become enslaved to the belly of the SOW and become complacent to being Self reliant and responsible for own actions.
This direction started in the USA in the 1930's and has been allowed to grow because of the growth of the Centralized Collective STATE and the deterioration of the s

Wow Lisa, thx.............;

You could not have said it better Harry. ^_~

This one upsets me on so many levels...One the mentally challenged have been abandoned, mad fun of and and abused. Cut backs by politicians while pocketing side deals have me furious about the greed over caring about each other. I do private protection from time to time and 50% of the problems come from people who have mental issues.

All precautions could've been made to avoid this and it still can happen but what is happening now is mentally disturbed people are trying to do "one better" than

@ Juyee, I agree to giving my prayers and thoughts to the families who are left behind to deal with this pain with the coming holiday. May they find peace. And our future does not have to look that scary if we learn to pray now.
@ Terry, I agree with you about bringing back more faith and religion. We can pray more for the families in Newtown Connecticut and hope they will have the strength to get through this.
@ Dedy, it's become a trend. On the same day, 20 children in China were slashed w

Yes Terry, be it America or India we have drawn the road map to be followed by the younger generation with less values and morality.The future is really scary!

as long as the trend is still something that makes people love it or make someone due to the trend to be liked or wanted to get involved and make a person want to know more of a trend, then one can not stop the trend.and crimes that occurred in one of the main states in the u.s. are not worthy to be categorized as savagery trend is not a trend. for such behavior. i prefer to use the word "savage". because in his brain, and his heart was filled with pus, blood and maggots so are unable to digest

We have taken God out of the schools and prayer is not allowed. We allow the murder of innocent babies in the womb. Discuss all you want but until moral decay and godless rules are reversed, it will only continue.

The break down of the family started right after WW2 and this has been the main cause of our underlying problems.

Then we removed God, prayer, and personal liberties. We have demonized conservative values, over taxed and over spent, and have been lax in defending our constitutional

I sympathize with the families of the victims those who have lost their Little & Loved ones! Being a mother I can feel their pain.At the same time I think it has got very less to do with having both the parents working.Yes, what I feel strongly as an educational counselor that regular counseling is required for both the children and the parents (on mandatory basis),security tightening in schools may not solve the problem.Let God give the families enough strength to bear the loss and thepain.

I agree with increasing security around schools. Currently they lack that. And kids lack attention from their parents because usually both parents are working. It is a sad economy.

They are sick people.. never realizing what they are doing.. they should be killed in full public. How can they kill an innocent children .... Total 8 (including this one) incidents this year where some sick people opened fire in public ... The govt. should increase security specially in and around schools...

Chuck, I agree that's a part of the problem as well. However, society has pushed us into an economy that requires both parents' income to support a family. For some, even with 2 income is not enough and sadly, this is the case for the majority of the population.

If we really step back and realize society has promoted deterioration of the family unit and the emphasis of not being responsible for actions. Until values are again made important will some of this behaviour be reduced.

I think putting some security around each campus is important. Today as I drove around L.A. there were so many cops out, one at every other street. That's the way it should be. On other days, I see a campus of children getting out but no officers or security around. Most of the criminals prowl around school campuses stalking our children who are so vulnerable. Early this morning in Lancaster, a 14 year old girl was sexually assaulted on her way to school. We shouldn't allow these criminals
