I have been consistent in my "outrage" in regard to the slaughter of twenty small children in seconds. Again, how often have mass numbers of individuals been killed in seconds from knife attacks?The Liberals GOP Twin wrote:

A student has been taken into custody after a mass stabbing left 14 people wounded at the CyFair campus of Lone Star College near Houston on Tuesday morning, police say.
At a news conference Tuesday afternoon, they described the suspect in custody as a male student who was about 21 years old, and they said he was believed to be the only person responsible for the stabbings.
Earlier in the afternoon, officials with the Harris County Sheriff's Department said someone attacked several students in multiple buildings as they walked to class. Police believe that initial reports of two attackers stemmed from the attacks taking place in multiple locations but that only one person was responsible for the stabbings.
"At this point ... we have one suspect in custody. As far as we know he is the only suspect at this point," said Thomas Gilliland, with the Harris County Sheriff's Department. "It was the same suspect going from building to building."

What next? Obama standing among the parents and victims... calling for a ban on knives? Piers Morgan waving the constitution in the face of a recreation of Jim Bowie? Knife free zones. Boy Scouts targeted as knife-wielding psychopaths.
Those who want to injure or kill with do it... no matter what... guns, knives or tire irons.
How often have mass individuals been killed in seconds from knife attacks?
But if we can only save one person from harm... right back at you Dog... or do you have selective outrage? I love it.

I can hardly wait for the GOP to have to stand up and defend their position on something as simple as universal background-checks to the 92% of the voters who are FOR it...including NRA members, Second Amendment supporters, Republicans and Democrats.
I can hardly wait. Oh, they may vote against it...But they're going to have to go on-record and explain WHY to the 92%.

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

The stabber used an x-acto blade and was wearing hearing aids.

Who gives a flying F*k... so... in your liberal world... a dude knifing 14 people has less impact on those 14 people than the others killed at Newtown? Telll that to the families of the ones that were knifed.
The real issue here... the one you refuse to see... is the fact that some crazy dude attempted to accomplish the same level of terrorism as any other terrorists... but you're not bothered by that.
What if it was a tire iron and he went around bashing the heads of the other students? Well... not as bad as shooting them.
No... the real issue here is crazy people will do crazy things and NO AMOUNT OF CONTROLS ON THE OFFENDING WEAPONS will change that.
You spit on the 14 that were knifed.

It does have less impact though - these people weren't killed and their families don't have to grieve their deaths. That's a HUGE difference. Is it still traumatic, and will some of them have long recoveries, you betcha, not trying to take away from any of that at all. Should this guy be held accountable for his attempt, absolutely. Why do you think that attempted murder sentences are less than murder sentences (on average, certainly there are exceptions, it's not absolute) - because attempting to do something and actually doing something are two wholly different levels.
No, I don't think the gun laws being proposed/recently passed are smart, but yes, I think we all need to accept that better enforcement, better laws, and better mental health care needs to be instituted - for anyone who is at risk to try something like this.

I believe that if a mentally ill person wants to do harm....They will find a way to do it.

Here's a question, would someone with a CCW be justified in blowing this nut away or would it be viewed as excessive force?
