		<description><![CDATA[253 Sandi
Henry, the comment “Asperger gunman” and this one “Asperger kid” are really sad comments on you, not children who have the Asperger’s spectrum of Autism. I know that anonymity emboldens hate and vicious words but that is so uncalled for. These kids have such a hard row to hoe and your comments are helping no one. There was much, much more at play in that young man than just Asperger’s Syndrome. Don’t the different, odd, unique, and labeled people in this country suffer enough for you?

Thank you, Sandi! Thank you! 

255 Henry
he kid shot up a school full of children. I will not use his name and he had Aspergers. So far that is all the media will tell us about him so that’s what I will use. The fact you don’t want to hear it is not my fault. It’s better then blaming an inanimate object for the massacre.

If you won&#039;t say his name (I understand that), why not call him &quot;the shooter, the killer, the murderer, the maniac&quot;? I don&#039;t blame an inanimate object. I blame him! I&#039;d bet big bucks his ASD played into his actions, but your use of &quot;Asperger&#039;s Kid&quot; etc. is insulting to me! I&#039;ve taught MANY children who fall somewhere under the Autism Spectrum Disorder and I deeply love someone with autism. Can&#039;t you just be nice, for my sake, and call him something else? 
Also, if my school told me I needed to be trained and carry a gun at school, I&#039;d do it and I know several others who would, too! I would do ANYTHING to protect my kids!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You are right, it is the person. But we can&#039;t send you to an island, or throw you in an incinerator. All we can do is keep those guns out of the hands of the people who would use them to murder innocent people. 

Henry, when a gun walks into a school and starts murdering people, then we can talk. Until then, lets linger in the realm of reality here. This is a blog, not a church.]]></description>

When the media comes up with a better explanation, I will change. But I suspect Aspergers is all we will get and it is a good enough reason for his &quot;irrational&quot; behavior. We are not drooling little slugs rocking in a corner.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Because the police have had extensive training, and they have went through extensive background checks as well&quot;

So the guns aren&#039;t the problem. It&#039;s the people that are the problem. So why are we wanting to ban guns if they aren&#039;t the problem. 

&quot;After seeing Henry posting and knowing how much he loves Free Republic&quot;

Think about someone else for a change, please. It&#039;s creepy. The head of the Houston Democrat Party said he wanted to kill NRA members. How&#039;s that for kookiness? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2969832/posts
&quot;Can we now shoot the #NRA and everyone who defends them?&quot;
&quot;They need to [be] wiped off the face of the earth,&quot; 
&quot;All NRA members should be shot!!!! &quot; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2969717/posts]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After seeing Henry posting and knowing how much he loves Free Republic, I thought I&#039;d pass along one of the brilliant posts from FR speculating about the shooting. This one was from a person whose been a Freeper since 1998, about the same amount of time as Henry, if I remember correctly&quot;

&quot;Was he romantically interested in one of the teachers and rejected in that process? So, he not only kills her, but all of her students as well. Islam would say that since he killed Americans, he should get his 72 virgins in “heaven”. Haven’t heard the Muslims living her condemning these kills nor the media pointing out they haven’t said a word. Interesting.&quot;

So somehow either the Muslims are involved or at least approve because this person isn&#039;t aware of Muslims rising up en masse to condemn the killings.

Other posts in the same thread seem to suggest that this massacre is part of a liberal plot to grab guns, possibly so that the government can then confiscate all 401(k) plans. And all the gold. And turn us all over to the UN.

Just in case you need nay yucks, or simply want a look into the paranoid, irrational mind of these folks, here&#039;s the link.
