did you intentionally mean to dodge the "where is the trillion dollars we already gave you to fix your stupid bridges" question?

or were you just hoping everyone had completely forgotten about the obama "stimulus package"

I don't know what trillion dollars you're talking about, could you elaborate? A trillion dollars all at once is a drop in the bucket when it comes to maintaining 50,000 miles of interstate highways and over half a million bridges.

Crazy 21 year old wearing some kind of halloween mask attacked and killed an 11 year old boy and a male teacher at a school in Trollhättan :| Another 15 year old student and male teacher were injured as well, they were all stabbed. He was armed with some kinda sword

The police shot the *** and he's in the hospital now



Extremely rare to have this kind of violence at a school here though, nothing anyone needs to be afraid of here.

But then someone competent could be in charge and the world could be in danger. Think about that.

Using a Swedish news story to launch a debate on American gun control is not exactly the best way of discussing foreign affairs anyway.

Yes, because both of your conclusions are logical deductions from my statements.

Not my intention.

It would never work anyway, you seem to like your mass killings.

Yeah you get mad whenever the topic is brought up. You could, you know, not participate. This was actually a very interesting cue considering it offers a different perspective and point of focus than usual. But boo I don't wanna talk about it.

I can only remember one other attack like this in the past 10 or so years, I think 2 people died that time as well and the weapon was a knife.

It wasn't a random attack then though

This is the crappy English version they posted

Quote:

At least three people have been killed after an attack at a school in the Swedish city of Trollhättan.

One of those who has been confirmed dead is the attacker. The other two is a teacher and a minor.

Several others are now being treated in hospital.

It was just after 10 A.M Thursday the police got an alarm from the school ”Kronan” in Trollhättan.

A masked man, later identified as a 21-year old male, was attacking teachers and students at the school.

The man was carrying several knife like weapon, one of which has been described as a sword.
Male teacher killed

When the police arrived on the scene they found a male teacher dead just inside the doors to the school.

Another male teacher was found wounded as well as two boys, aged 11 and 15. They are now being treated in hospital.

When the police entered the school they were attacked by the masked man.
Shot by police

He was then shot by the police.

– Two shots was fired. One hit its target and disarmed the man, said police spokesperson Thomas Fuxborg.

The attacker was being treated at the hospital, but died in the afternoon.

Later in the afternoon, police struck against a residence building in Trollhättan.
”Thought it was a joke”

About 400 kids are studying at the school. One of the students told the Swedish network SVT about how they reacted when the swordsman attacked.

– When we first saw him we thought it was a joke. He was wearing a mask and black clothes and was carrying a long sword. Students wanted to take pictures with him, said Laith, 14, to the network.

When the news about the attack broke, Sweden's prime minister, Stefan Löfven, immediately cancelled his appointments for the day and went to Trollhättan.

Skolverket, Sweden's National Agency for Education, said that attacks like these are very uncommon in Sweden.

what trillion dollars?

exactly... and that's why you can't have any more...
"stimulus package"

I'd like a quarter ounce of whatever it is you were smoking when you typed this...right now.

a trillion dollars is $3,280 from every single person living in the US.

had we instead stuck it in a bank earning 5% interest it would have created 50 billion dollars every year

ok so the US uses 136.78 billion gallons a year so to generate a trillion (drop in the bucket) dollars your way the tax per gallon would have to be $7.35 a gallon.

how about no

He wasn't saying that you were doing it. I don't have an issue with the story or that it's not US news, I have an issue with what was attempted, and it wasn't by you.

Aside from that there's many things wrong with what you just said, the point flew entirely over your head and you started accusing people of not liking non-US news with a flawed premise. It's partly our fault as we didn't elaborate, so it was a rather vague dissent, so for that I apologize.

Snickers for everyone!
