One more very minor (in the big picture) thing. The telecast of the game is probably in danger for me, due to this shooting. I understand as I worked in local TV for many years. The news coverage of the shooting HAS to  take preference. Guess I'm searching for a stream.

Yes. If you find one, please post the link

The initial reports are this guy you might remember from buffalo bills twitter:

who knows if true yet but it’s the unofficial unconfirmed (mentioned by local reporters and innsone tweets from people there)

Obviously, we don’t know this shooter.  But you do realize that the majority of mass shooters don’t have criminal records, right?

 

or most of the school shootings are occurring in neighborhoods that aren’t Chicago right?  

 

You do realize killing people is a crime?

Why at a Madden tournament?

 

Is there ever a place for this? I'm not even sure what your point is. People like this just do these horrible things wherever. Schools, Churches, Theaters, Malls. Wherever a gathering of people exists.

Hope you persevere. You must be distraught.

A guy I'm here watching the game with said his son played with the guy who lost his thumb and indicated the same.

I never said there was a good or bad place for it.  Just that a tournament isn't your usual venue for this type of a tragedy, that's all.

Bunch of dudes competing.... one loses his temper....add to it that it’s a bunch of guys with history (I’ve seen tweets of one of the other players, I believe a victim, mocking the alleged shooter on twitter awhile back).... 

 

never makes sense but makes more more sense than most of these stories if the initial info is accurate

I counted 12 rounds....that was one of the most horrifying things I have ever heard......I just can't fathom wanting to kill or harm another human being. 

 

My dad talked to me a lot about his WWII experience and how hard it was to harm another human being -- even though he was in a kill or be killed situation.  

 

I just can't understand wanting to harm someone who is not threatening you in any way.  Human emotion and intellect is fragile, however, this anger trigger; this mental anguish; this mental illness affliction is something we need to get better at diagnosing and assessing.  We spend so much on cancer research...and it's warranted...I hope our focus begins to treat mental illness in the same vein.

 

God bless us all. 

 

We've created a society that is not only desensitized to violence, but revels in it.

 

But we're really good at making sure no one ever sees a breast on TV.
