Whats happening to our world today...? And to think I used to walk through downtown Philly at 3am in the morning after I was done working in a bar...I used to love those long walks...don't think I would do it now...

Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love, Also the city where crazed gunmen shoot, Into a bus filled with passengers, After one persons criticism of a mothers, Handling of her own child… Apparently they did not like someone’s comment, So they came armed with automatic weapons, To make their point well known, How can people like this make it to become grown…? Is this the direction the world is going today, Are we all just targets for the crazies, is this the way, We will all defend our opinions to the last, Our world coming to its end with a blast…?

There are a lot of interpretations to the "right to bear arms." Unfortunately, I think the founding fathers would be aghast at how the gun lobby somehow arms the populace that least needs to be armed.

Wow...the world has certainly become crazy. What ever happened to the innocence of the 50's. May God bless you every day of your life.

Sadly it probably is the wrong direction that this world is turning down.

Ed, this is exactly the direction we're going. People don't care about other people. I'm afraid our grandchidren and great-grandchildren won't have much to build on.

ED ... Hadn't heard about it - I'm with Jerry ...

a generation or more of 'Ne'er-do-wells'
that think the World owes them
something for doing NOTHING ...

and ... where in the hell do they get the money
to buy expensive 'black market' weapons in the
first place?

Sad state indeed, Rich on the upper end, and Poor
'trash' on the lower end ... both beaking the backs
of Middle Americans ...

It is the fault of the food stamp generation and no fathers around to knock some sense into their heads before they get big enough to handle the weapons. I, too, saw the video. I am amazed no one was hit or killed.
