Well I did write the president and a few of my elected officials this week. (I can bet I won't get an answer from Senator Burr)

BTW stamps are up to .45 cents here to mail a letter.

I can tell you what I'll get back. A bunch of form letters thanking me for my concerns and asking for money. (Got the same thing in the mail after I wrote following 9/11.) I think I might have gotten one letter then that agreed with my concerns which was that they blew it big time. (Sorry I never bought the conspiracy crap but that's just me.)

I just want to know when is the madness going to stop of gun violence in this country. If someone suggests that gun owners put locks on their guns to prevent a kid from taking a gun to school well that turns into a second amendment issue. Translated as Obama wants to take your gun away.


I have a friend of mine who went to Va Tech. She was devastated when that happened. The little girl killed in AZ only because she wanted to go see her representative?

The latest shootings in Ohio?

I just am at a loss for words as to how our political leaders ignore what is happening and it's like oh well lets clean up the mess bury the dead and hold a memorial service.

This crap is getting old.

Hundreds honor student killed in Ohio shooting
Associated Press – 2 hrs 15 mins ago

CHARDON, Ohio (AP) — Hundreds of people stood shoulder to shoulder along the street on a cold, windy Saturday morning to honor one of three teenagers killed in a high school shooting.

The service in Chardon for 16-year-old Daniel Parmertor is the first of the three funerals. Services for 16-year-old Demetrius Hewlin and 17-year-old Russell King Jr. will be held next week.

Parmertor's family said they planned to bury him with his first paycheck — still unopened — from his new job at a bowling alley, The Plain Dealer reports.

Those honoring the teen wore the school's colors of red and black and huddled in hoods, knit hats and blankets. They held U.S. flags and signs featuring red hearts and saying "We are One Heartbeat." Some expressed continued disbelief about the Monday attack.

Parmertor was remembered as a computer whiz and for his laugh and wit, WJW-TV reported.

Two other students were seriously wounded when a gunman opened fire in the cafeteria at Chardon High School, about 30 miles east of Cleveland. One remains in serious condition; a second has been released from the hospital.

The Mass was held at the Church of St. Mary across the street from the school complex where the attack occurred. It's the same church where thousands showed up for a vigil earlier this week.

On Friday, hundreds had waited hours in cold rain to pay respects to the teen at a funeral home in nearby Eastlake. He was to be buried at a Chardon cemetery.

Charges filed in juvenile court accuse 17-year-old T.J. Lane of aggravated murder, attempted aggravated murder and felonious assault. Lane's next hearing is Tuesday.

Prosecutor David Joyce said the motive for the shooting remains unclear. He said the victims were selected randomly, and he called the suspect someone "who's not well."

Classes resumed at the 1,100-student school on Friday with police on hand.
