shooting

Those poor frightened children! My prayers are with all involved in this ordeal. I cannot imagine losing a child this way right before Christmas. :tear:

 

I just heard about it a little while ago. I don't want to turn on the TV, as I know what I'll see. The news media is going to play this to the hilt. I don't want to be a peeping tom looking at every tear that's shed. Nor, endless talking heads giving their opinions, speculations, milking this horror for everything it's worth according to their standards.

Right now, all I want to do is sit here, in a quiet place, and pray for all involved. To let the Holy Spirit convey what I don't have words to say for those children, their families, and even the demon posessed soul of the man who did this.

:tear:

 

It could be any of us. It is fruitless to try and make sense of this kind of thing, because there is no sense to be made. The only constant is for the survivors, life must go on. As impossibly cruel, unending, and empty the future looks, they have to face it.

Two weeks before Christmas. I hurt for those families.

 

I don't even know what to say. I dropped my four year old grandson at pre-school this morning just like parents and grandparents in Newton did. AJ made it home safely to Mom and Dad - 20 children in Newton did not.

Just yesterday a good friend and I were having a discussion on the problems of guns in this country. I remarked we had a problem and I didn't have the answer or a solution. My friend was adament in his belief that we don't have a gun problem. This IMO is part of the problem, our refusal to admit that we have a gun problem.

 

We don't have a gun problem, we have a "lack of respect for life" problem.

 

This fellow could have killed these persons with a knife, or beaten them to death with a hammer or tire iron. He could have strangled them with his hands or beaten them to death with his fists. If you really want to kill someone it is not difficult, especially little children.

This fellow had family problems, from what I understand he killed his father, and then went to the school and killed his mother, then her students. This fellow had real issues.

 

The problem is that to the media and liberals, EVERY gun is an assault weapon.

 

No, guns are very dangerous and make it very easy to kill multiple persons, but if you want to kill, you are going to kill.

What I am surprised at is that he got in the school with guns, most schools are locked. Now, I understand his mother was a teacher at the school and one of the persons killed, so perhaps they were accustomed to allowing this fellow in the school. That will come out I am sure.

 

Unless you can identify crazy people and their propensity for violence, you can't stop it, or even slow it down.

Imagine the carnage if he had used a homemade bomb. How do you stop that?

Kill crazy people are going to kill until they are killed.

 

He didn't use an assault type weapon.

Got a question that actually pertains to what happened?

 

I must completely agree. There are no words.

Students heard me gasp and heard me whisper to another adult, so they asked what was going on. I just redirected them to focus on the work in front of them. And that was that. The other adult and I just were in shock and said "I know, wow" and that was the extent of any discussion on it.

I did come home and look up the cost of bullet proof vests. They're expensive.

 

You are exactly right. They are getting their ratings off the heart aches of those parents and families. What a collection of slobs. The mindset infuriates me. It is like the idiot driving down the road that slows down to observe an accident that has nothing to do with them, and all they are doing is holding up traffic as they crane their neck around. Wish one of them would snap.
