I'm posting a thread for this specifically outside of the political forums so it can be seen on the front page. Keep political posts in those designated forums, please.

I hate this. My heart breaks for the five players, their families, and the Virginia football team.

I’ve seen what the news labels as “critical condition”. I can’t help but expect the worst.

I just read about this as well. It’s incredibly heartbreaking and will probably be proven to be beyond senseless in the end. Prayers for all of these devastated families and the UVA fam. 🙏🏼

Absolutely terrible! Wow

 

[Southside Sully]

Just terrible.. Apparently they were all on a bus together.

No words, just heartbreaking.

 

[Irishnuke]

Just awful. Can’t comprehend what makes someone snap and do something like this.

Just terrible news. Was it a fight or something that went crazy?

Good lord, this is heartbreaking.

I mean, how can you justify taking that kind of action on guys you've bonded with for years. The fact that it happened is horrendous enough as is, but this dude gunning down his own teammates...

 

[NorthDakota]

Really strange and sad. Hope the authorities will get to the bottom of it.

The world has always been shit. Better today than in the past by almost every measurable statistic.

This is definitely the thread to engage in that discussion.

Sit this one out, bro.

This is awful. I wonder what happened?

He told his dad he was being picked on. I'll try to find the story, but it was on MSN.com this AM.

I had read something very similar to that as well earlier today.

 

[Bishop2b5]

Man, I hate this for those kids and their families.

 

[Rockin’Irish]

Looks like the UVA team has voted to end their season now, can’t blame them for that decision. Hope they get to the bottom of what happened and punish the assailant accordingly.

 

[ndfanatic78]

This is truly tragic. I hope they get to the bottom of this and figure out ways to prevent people from feeling so hopeless that these types of acts wouldn’t even be considered.
