This thread truly disgusts me. How dare you just sit back and bicker and argue over senseless means and make idle jokes over them? What gives you the right to do that after something so tragic like this occurred? Think about all the lives lost, families broken and all the care and love not given to them? People who would rather argue and make such horrible comments to one another and to the more important stake at are defined by ignorance, hatred and disunity. All qualities of a killer. What gives anyone the right to think of themselves as above when they act no better. They disgrace the already foul name of humanity, and bring lackluster to generations ahead. Shame on those ignorant who would rather argue over and mock one another to benefit their ego instead of care for those lost.
Furthermore, while in reality people die each day, it makes it no better regardless of the casualty. Every person must at one point die on this Earth, and give way to new generations. To look back and remember them as doctors, athletes, firefighters, and brave men that have contributed to the joy and advancements they own today. But what happened at that unfortunate elementary school is something that will not be remembered as joyous, nor is it excusable. For while every man must die, every death can be prevented. And these deaths could certainly have been prevented.
Whether it be from prayer, medical advancements, law enforcement or just sheer human kindness; all lives can live out to the finest. Think of those children as lion cubs. Today they are young, secure, and have a well future ahead of them. One day they will grow to their full length and be known as the kings and queens of the jungle of their time. Now imagine their youth, security and future taken from them. Never to experience life. Never to experience love. Never to experience the true meaning they have found within themselves and those around them. Those children are martyrs of the future. Never to experience all of life's beauties. And the parents have been left to suffer the worst fate any parent can have.
My heart goes out to all the victims and those impacted in the shooting.
