BREAKING NEWS: Six children have been shot near a school bus in Las Vegas and at least two of them are in critical condition.

Police had no further immediate details but the Las Vegas Review Journal newspaper reported that the shooting injured two people in their late teens and that the rest of the victims were juveniles.

The newspaper said that two males were shot in the torso and had been rushed to a hospital for treatment.

The Associated Press reported that at least two people were believed to have been involved in the shooting.

12. Cute. It appears that some of these kids WILL be staying in Vegas.

In a pine box. Ha ... Ha

From that article.

5. The pot is boiling and more and more of the frogs want OUT!

It is making normal people stressed and tense and angry. It is making people who were stressed out, more stressed out.

It is pushing borderline crazies over the edge.

That's just my theory. In any case this is yet another horrific tragedy. Another suicide shooter.

And these are the Good Old Days. :shudder:

9. Yep. It's not that there are too many rats in the cage, it's that bad people are shaking the cage

and most don't know how to deal with it.

I am more and more reminded of Brunner's "Stand on Zanzibar".

Time to support the politicians who are willing to remove the "cage-shakers".

8. They say it's gang related

which from what I can tell is a way of dismissing crimes against youth/minorities/inner city people.

13. if i was cynical

If I was cynical , I would say, I bet these kids are african american, for the lack of coverage.

If six whites got shot by someone on the school bus, CNN and FAUX would have non stop coverage.

15. Of four church parishoners.

Or, if a black gang member had returned fire, they probably wouldn't be portraying him or her as a hero.

16. Gang related?

Oh well, the media won't say much about it now since it's gang related. That's always the case. It's like that have a sigh of relief whent hey find out it's gang related. Sad.

17. This is My Neighborhood

The news suggests it was a retaliation over some fight about a girl. Used to be guys would duke it out behind the school and the one still standing at the end of the testosterone brawl would walk away with the cooing shitzferbrains girl. Nothing like taking your competition out altogether. No doubt the girl wasn't the one shot in the arm by the idiots wielding guns. I like men but don't think I'll ever understand why they have to use violence to destroy each other instead of petty gossip and cruel jibes and ostracizing like civilized women do.

19. Me neither

Now they have guns so one or both no longer walk away.

But it's okay 'cause the NRA tells us so.

[Skidmore]

21. As does setting the example for its youth that when confronted with a problem

you shoot first and disregard the consequences of your action.

[Junkdrawer]

24. Agreed n/t

14. It's not like it's the first time children have done this, they don't report every car accident

either.
