I never had friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?

Holy shit, that's crazy.  Hope they catch/kill the shooter fast and nobody else is hurt.

I heard them mention it on EITM,  I watched the video before they had all the details about the incident.  The video was bad as is, finding out the outcome made it even worse, ugh.  Absolutely awful situation.

I've been told by several people not to watch the video.

Reports are that the shooter was a disgruntled former employee of the station.

I read that too.

 

In VA there's a good chance he will receive the death penalty, which he ABSOLUTELY DESERVES.

I agree but not much you can do when you're ambushed while shooting a live spot.

I don't agree with the general premise you quoted, but anyway, you're right here.

Motherfucker should have just killed himself first and saved everyone else an incalculable amount of grief and pain. I'm not an advocate for suicide, but as in many things, I can make an exception. People that do shit like this don't deserve to live.

 

I know people in the industry, and my sister is soon to be a part of it. Shit like this shakes you up, no doubt. I'm sure it'll be part of our next conversation.

Initial reports said he killed himself, but he is alive and in critical condition.

 

Local authorities are scheduled to have a news conference at 2:00.

More money given to mental health research and treatment for starters.
