  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

At least 10 people were killed in a school shooting in Sweden on Tuesday, with police officers confirming the suspected gunman also died after carrying out what is being described as the worst mass shooting ever to happen in the European country.

Authorities said the shooting took place at an adult education center in the city of Örebro, about 125 miles west of Stockholm, where multiple schools share the same campus, the BBC reports.

Police said officers were first alerted around 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, triggering a large-scale response that involved sealing off the area and instructing people to take shelter.
