This should not be what anyone remembers about their school years. Those poor kids.

They can happen wherever nutcases have access to guns. I guess the frequency is a combination of ease of access and the crazed determination of the perpetrator.

There is nothing about religion in the article, what is the point you are trying to make here?

Sal Affist, no they just happen very much more frequently.
It is incomprehensible to me why anyone in any country would do such a thing.

Sad tragedy for Russia, the death of children is specially difficult to accept.

You mean the Israeli genocide against the Palestinians? Who can't live with who?

A tragedy wherever and whenever a shooting of innocents like this takes place, speaking of which the Russians still have a very long way to go cleaning up their blood-soaked past under Stalin and the mass shootings of Soviet citizens that have never been adequately addressed by Putin and other apologists for Russia's history of the gulags and other atrocities.

That's some twisted logic, so the school shootings in the US are the result of the Native Americans genocide?

Sorry, but I never intended to establish any logic linking the Kazan school shooting with the gun culture of America which actually does have a logical connection to and historical roots in the subjugation of Native Americans as well as in the legacy of other acts of violence that have impacted the trajectory of American society and left its mark on the character and psyche of the people. I was only thinking of the Russia of today ,a country where the horrific atrocities of the years of Stalinism and the recent Chechen Wars are taboo topics under Putin's violent regime of " state-orchestrated terror", assassination and repression of any criticism, all of which, to put things in perspective, make "small potatoes" of this tragic incident. The point I really meant to make is that Putin's concern for the victims can be no more than pure hypocrisy in light of his transparent purpose of politicizing this incident to boost his "strongman" image.

Btw, an often propagated ‘model’ city for claiming that different religions can peacefully live together, Russian Orthodox Church members and muslims. And in most cases or for a certain time span this even might be true, but just not today. But it’s a nice city when looking at some pictures and they have the IMO worldwide best internet radio station there, no joke.

With 21 people wounded, many of them children, the death toll will increase beyond the current total of 8. School shootings only happen in America. Right?
