Context is everything. And understanding of what one is writing about. Doesn't change the fact that the shooting in SW Germany (and the one in Alabama) was a horrible event that will never fade for the people affected by it. CK

The fact that gun crime IS so incredibly rare in Europe is what makes this incident all the more shocking and tragic.

Unfortunately, it goes back to those individuals responsible. They had severe mental/emotional problems that went unidentified until it was too late.
But yeah, I remember those stats from Bowling for Columbine. Every country mentioned had something less than, what, 200 gun-related deaths per year? Except the good ol' U.S., something like 45,000+. Go figure.

Its like if some assshole told Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to stop writing about Sherlock Holmes and start with a book about Huge Boobs.Thats what happened with veronica mars. Kicked out for some BS on its peak.Smartest American Drama show. Like Cracker in High School, but even better.Film Noir and Character Study in One and a lot of Sarcasm.Great scripts, touching revelations, stunning cliffhangers.its all there.

Couldn't agree more. Veronica Mars being cancelled in the prime of the show is something I'll likely never get over.
I love that show soooooooooooo much.

The only time I've bothered to flip over to their long-since-outdated channel is when they run their bi-annual Twilight Zone marathons. Otherwise, I grew quite tired of them years ago and pitiful original movies like Earthsea and Tin Man sealed the deal for me on their failure to produce anything of remote quality for many a year.
