Unbelievable tragedy in Newtown! RIP to the little ones we lost..

 
I know you all have heard about the tragic event that occurred at Sandy Hook Elementary school yesterday December 14th. 20 year old Adam Lanza (pictured below right) killed his mum at home and drove to the school in Newtown, Connecticut and opened fire on pupils and teachers, killing 26 people in all. 20 children between 5 to 10 years old and six adults, including the school principal; before killing himself.

Adam Lanza was dressed in black military gear and a bullet proof vest when he opened fire in the principal's office and then moved to a kindergarten classroom where his mother, Nancy, taught. The three guns (Glock and Sig Sauer revolvers and Bushmaster rifle) used in the shooting were legally purchased by Adam's mother, Nancy Lanza, whose body was found in the home she shared with Adam. This massacre is the worst involving little children in American history. How could something this horrible happen? Truly truly truly sad! Can't believe this guy went after defenseless little children. So heartbreaking. Our hearts go out to the mothers who lost their children and people who lost loved ones. May God bless the memory of all the victims.

  2. ...oh dear, not again! this is barely three days after masked gunman Jacob Roberts opened fire in a busy Oregon mall killing two before turning the gun on himself.
    what is going on? too many psychopaths going about freely.
    Report says the shooting was carried out by a father of one of the kids in the school.
    this is so sickening and sad.
    May God be with all those whose kids were killed in this dastardly act.

  5. When I heard about this I remembered the saying... There is a difference from "Human Being" and "Being Human" This was so inhumane, innocent little children, I can only imagine the grief the parents will be feeling. One thing for sure is that Adam was sick psychologically for him to do this. This also raises issues over US Arms possession laws. R.I.P to all of them. May God give their families the fortitude to bear the loss.

  6. "What was so terrible to warrant the death of 27 people? What did the mother do that was so bad to shoot 18 children? Science should look into the decrease in emotional coping in the us....one person is upset.....25 people die...you lose a job....16 People killed....slow car on fast lane...driver shot...girlfriend broke up with u...girlfriend's family and 50 passerbys go down.....what is it? this is terrible...."

    1. Very sad but honestly, bloglord's comments cracked me up. Sorry for laughing but America took prayer out of the schools and now this is the result. Kids raised without God can only be willing tools in the hands of the devil. RIP little ones.

  11. What exactly were his reasons? Did the school where his mom worked treat the mom unfairly or what? Why would a mother buy as much as 3 guns & keep in her home? If he had killed his mom alone e for better small but kill innocent kids & adults? Was he suffering from depression or what? To think its the same America we Naijas are fighting to go to? Their violence na same if not worse pass our own, na wa o!

  17. this HD or 3D is not helping at all. am sure this boy would have been so engrossed with 3d computer games which involves shooting and as such cant seperate reality from fiction hence this dastardly act. u know that shit feels real when its being played? otherwise how do one explain the demon that got into his head?

    i just find myself commenting more than once cos this really got me. so painful. u send ur kids to school, next thing, u get a distress call that ur kid is in danger as there's a shoot-out. God! better un-imagined.

  26. so sad this happened..may the lord give the family of the children heart to bear their loss and rest in the lord young ones..but the big question is how he got access into the school when there is a visual security system at the school...if he is dressed in bullet proof and all that ,they should know something was not right.most of the young children i av visited abroad,you press a buzzer which obviously have camera where the receptionist can see u from inside,he or she speak with you and ask you ur motive in the school before they can let you in .and if ur motive is not genuine they wont open the door..if you told them u have come to pick ur child u will still wait outside and ur child would be handed over to u at the door outside without u entering the school premises.am talking about london here and not the u.s though!to enter any school premises in the uk[ especially the younger ones ]before closing time is like a camel passing through the needle..all the same more security should still be done to protect these innocent children...feeling for the parents that lost their loved ones right now...may the lord never allow us any reason to weep over our children in jesus name.

  27. Truly horrible, sad and pathetic. It's high time America really gave serious taught to their Gun Control laws. I also think that is serious fundamental socials issues in the America society that is driving people off the cliff. God bless the souls of the faithful departed. Amen

  30. These white faggots keep using the 'insanity plea' as defense for these animals, if it was a foreigner, terrorist, a black guy, menace to society.What rubbish? They should ban guns completely or ensure very strict compliance,like setting age restrictions(25 preferably) and anyone apart from the armed forces or police can't have an assault rifle and a glock. In no way, should people keep defending these senseless killings, what if your loved ones were involved?This is a serious issue that should not be ignored because you don't know where and who will be hit next.

    ReplyDelete
  31. GUNS DONT KILL PEOPLE, PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE. TAKE THE GUNS AWAY AND THEY WILL FIND OTHER MEANS OF KILLING. SHOULD WE TAKE CARS AWAY BECAUSE THEY KILL PEOPLE? SHOULD WE BAN ALCOHOL AND CIGARETTES BECAUSE THEY KILL?. FOR THOSE SAYING THAT THIS KIND OF THING HAPPENS ONLY IN AMERICA, CHECK YOUR HISTORY AGAIN. IN NIGERIA WHERE GUN POSSESSION IS ILLEGAL, HOW MANY ARE KILLED EVERYDAY?

  32. Linda its most unfortunate that this incident happened and it affected the little Angles my solace is that those Angles have gone to a better place i know u just came back form the states but the truth still stands America is a sick society, America culture and way of life viz a viz liberation emancipation freedom of speech most especially the so called 13th amendment has destroyed that country's value system .
    Africa is way better than America our value for life our sanctity for life is higher than that of the westerners the only issue wrong with Africa is poverty and corruption if we get this right Africa will be paradise on earth
    repeatedly American youths and teenagers have acquired fire arms and gone on shooting spree remember the Virgina tech shooting the oak land shooting the Boston play ground killing and quite recently the cinema shooting until america repeal their fire arms law more innocent souls will go. what a society.

  46. American wonder! Am loosing my respect and love for America since that country start pitching their tent with Godlessnes.
    We might witness the demise of America in our life time.
    This is how the Romans lost it and their power and civilization ended.
    Moral laxity was what ended the Roman empire, America won't change, things ll only get worse.
    Oh! America! How are the mighty fallen.
