and two wrongs don't make a right. but I don't see the connection between banks
and mass murderers and hackers.

Who cares about a bank? What the hell does banks have to do with mass murderers?
NOTHING
take the banks to a bank thread.

There are a million issues out there.
You have your personal issues, I will stick with mine.
I am sure many others will have your issues.
Many others will have mine.

This kids doings really are not my concern, just as it appears gun killings don't seem to bother the NRA or their backers.

I am more interested in a guilty verdict for Zimmerman the judge jury executioner in Florida.
You must agree, he shot an innocent kid to death just to watch him die, and either the death penalty(if he is conviceted and its a death penalty charge), or life in prison for him

I more care about those Asian children who are pressed so hard in school, that if they get an
a minus, they kill themselves, not able to take the pressure.
What are your feelings of the 100s who kill themselves each year because they consider
an A- a bad grade?
But then we all have our personal issues.

Of course, the 20 kids who died in CT won't get a chance to grow up to cure cancer or be criminals or a hacker, because their personal choice has been taken away from them from a gun.

And Mr. Trayvon Martin won't grow up to cure Alzheimer's.
All because of a gun and a bullet.
