Someone getting an abortion is basically the same as a nuclear holocaust, so it's pointless to regulate nuclear weapons

Maybe an insensitive question, but I don't get the sentiment about it being particularly bad because everyone was young. Why is it treated worse for 20 kindergartners to get shot instead of 30 college students like at Va Tech?
Imagine the messages that poor guy is getting on facebook
Where did I imply religion has to do something with it?Oh great, the "people are losing the value of life" bull .

Oh ok I get it now, go on with your trolling and derail the thread by using religion.

Child killer Turcotte 'ideal candidate' for releaseQuebec MD not criminally responsible for killing kidsChild killer Turcotte allowed supervised outings
RAW: Ex wife feels "powerless," she says1:12
The former Quebec cardiologist who was found not criminally responsible for killing his children was granted conditional release.
A re-evaluation session was held today at Montreal's Pinel Ins ute. The Mental Health Assessment Commission said Guy Turcotte has made enough progress to be released.
He will, however, continue to see a psychotherapist.
He was found not criminally responsible 18 months ago for killing his two children in 2009.
Turcotte must not have contact with his former wife, Isabelle Gaston, or her family.
Unless Turcotte fails to keep the peace and adhere to his conditions, his case will not be reviewed for another year.
Turcotte will need to have his new address approved by authorities.
Former wife said she expected a release
Gaston said she felt "powerless" when facing the justice system in this case.
"The system knows this is an injustice, but the system decides not to speak. So I lose confidence in it," she said.
Gaston said she had read Supreme Court do ents of similar cases and expected Turcotte to be released without conditions. She said today's decision was "more logical."
She believes he should be kept at the Pinel Ins ute because of the closer supervision.
She said she would keep fighting to make improvements to the way such cases are handled.
"I hope so much for those changes because for me, it's a message that you can kill your wife because you're sad, you can kill your children because you are upset, and after that say that you were not all there," she said.
Psychiatrist says Turcotte is not as defensive as before
In a report summarizing his findings, Pierre Rochette, the psychiatrist overseeing Turcotte's care at the ins ute, told the Mental Health Assessment Commission that the patient has shown progress in his treatment.
The commission, a division of Quebec's administrative tribunal, is in charge of reviewing the mental state of those found not criminally responsible of a crime and decide whether the person poses a risk to public safety.
Rochette said that Turcotte is less defensive than when he first arrived at the ins ution.
The psychiatrist made several recommendations to the commission, including the possibility that the patient be released into the care of outpatient services at a Montreal hospital, rather than remain detained at the Pinel Ins ute.
Turcotte told the hearing that his anger and anxiety are under control and he would like to live a normal life.
Rochette said earlier today he would not object to the release of Turcotte with conditions attached.
Jury found Turcotte not criminally responsible
In July 2011, a jury found Turcotte, who admitted to stabbing his two children to death, not criminally responsible because of a mental disorder.
The judge had instructed jurors that acquittal was not an option, as Turcotte admitted he stabbed his children, Anne-Sophie, 3, and Olivier, 5, in February 2009, in a rented home north of Montreal.
The 39-year-old physician was charged with first-degree murder, but always denied intent, and the defence focused on his state of mind at the time of the killings.

A Quebec cardiologist charged with two counts of first-degree murder admits he stabbed his two children in 2009, but claims it wasn't a premeditated act.
Guy Turcotte's defence team made the admission Monday, at the cardiologist's double murder trial in Saint-Jérôme.
In a statement filed by his defence lawyer Pierre Poupart, Turcotte admits he committed an illegal act and caused the death of his two children.
Olivier (5) and Anne-Sophie (3) were stabbed to death by their father, he admits. (CBC) But Turcotte plans to fight the claim that the killings were premeditated.
Poupart told the jurors that they will have to determine Turcotte's state of mind at the time of the crimes, and whether he knew what he was doing.
Turcotte's children — five-year-old Olivier and three-year-old Anne-Sophie — were found stabbed to death on Feb. 21, 2009, inside a house their father rented in the Laurentians.
Turcotte was also found in the house, under a bed, after he ingested windshield washer fluid.
He was charged and found fit to stand trial at a preliminary hearing last year.
Failed marriage on doctor's mind
Turcotte sobbed in court as Crown prosecutor Claudia Carbonneau outlined the details of the double slaying.
A crime scene technician gave jurors a view inside the home: two knives, two bloodstained beds, a near-empty windshield washer container in a bathroom and vomit on the floors.
Turcotte's mother Margaret Fournier testified Monday about the last phone conversation she had with her son before the children were killed.

Fournier said her son sounded depressed and told her Gaston was cheating on him.
"It has been going on for weeks," Fournier quoted her son as saying. She said he told her "it was happening in my house, in my bed."
His mother advised him to look forward, but her son didn't seem to hear her. But then he said something that struck Fournier as out of character.
"I love you, tell Dad I love him," Fournier recounted, remembering her son repeating those words over and over during the hour-long chat.
"When I heard that discourse, I was afraid he was about to take his own life," she said.
Fearful he'd been drinking, Fournier wanted to drive to her son's that night, but her husband said to wait.
Fournier arrived the next day to find no grandchildren in sight, the doors locked and the shades drawn at the single-family dwelling in an isolated rural neighbourhood in Piedmont.
"Maybe my husband still had hope [things were OK], but I had no hope at all," she testified.
Fournier's chilling 911 call pleading with police to hurry to the rented home was played in court late Monday, provoking more sobs from Turcotte.
If found guilty, he could face life in prison.
About 30 witnesses are expected to testify at the trial, including police, ambulance technicians and family.
Gaston, a doctor herself, is also expected to take the stand.
The trial is scheduled to last between six and eight weeks.
Just got out of a meeting and saw this. Horrible.We just had a couple of people get killed here a couple of days ago and this is even worse. Unreal.
Hypothetically speaking, if I did it, I committed the Holocaust when I killed Ronald Goldman.
Police are also questioning another person in connection with the shooting. Witnesses told the Connecticut Post that a handcuffed man, dressed in camouflage, was led out of a nearby woods by officers. The individual is Lanza's younger brother, according to the Associated Press.
20 year old Adam Lanza is the shooter. 24 year old Ryan Lanza is his brother and in custody.
lol social media cluster
This is why teachers with their CCW's should be allowed to carry on campus. Glad I picked up another AR and a handful of lowers before the election, this is more ammo for the anti-gun pussies and their quest to strip us of our 2nd amendment rights.
Horrible sad news. Just horrible, horrible, horrible. Fkn horrible.
Crazy though, The President murders over 200 little children himself, and thousands more innocents overseas for no reason with his current illegal drone program, but gives a speech on how killing 20 kids is wrong, and the people eat it up. I wish we cared about ALL children. smh
RIP to all those involved bar the shooter. Such ed up news to wake up to. Is it me or are shootings becoming more common. Regardless, what a ed up day and my thoughts are with those dead and their families
