I have no idea
how any human on this earth
could ever find it within themselves
to point and shoot at innocent children.
What could possibly drive the mind to such insanity
that that act could ever feel justified or vindicating in any sense of the word.
Such a selfish, selfish act. 
And cowardly – to kill himself instead of facing what he so deserved.
Although, paying for his sorry a$$ in the prison system doesn’t hold
much appeal either.
I hope the gates of hell opened wide and sucked him right down
into eternal misery and torture.

  1. Yea it funny like Sam one of the first things I thought of was how close was this to you and your family ! Lets try to have a good weekend

  2. Unfortunately, the perpetrator was/had to be, mentally ill. Nothing else would explain such horror.
    But as Bill Maher put it so well, all the sentiments in the world will not change our selfish gun laws.
    Time to do something different.

  3. I haven't found any words. I also believe that severe mental illness is likely the case here….another big hole in our system as people like this are unsafe to live in society. And now look at the tragedy for these families. I cannot even imagine.

  4. I agree Karen. This is beyond sad. I teach children this age and I cannot wrap my mind around the fear and chaos those children and staff went through, let alone the magnitude of grief the families are going through.
    Thanks for talking about his and giving some of us a place to express our feelings and grief.

  5. There really aren't any words that can even come close to defining how I feel about this. Innocent human beings, including ELEMENTARY aged schoolchildren, needlessly slaughtered…. I can't stop thinking about those children and their families. And why is it that these kinds of people have to kill innocent people first, before turning the gun on themselves? This can be such a cruel world. I wish there was something I could do, but there isn't. There's nothing anyone can ever do to make things better for these families. Absolutely nothing.

  6. As I watched my 8 year old shake his favorite snow globe this morning, smiling with joy as the snow gently fell, my tears spilled over. I am filled with such overwhelming grief and anger. Such an unspeakable, horrendous, cowardly act. There are no words…..just heartbreak.

  7. Karen- My heart breaks anew as I read each and every post. I think everyone in "blog world" is of one mind. Maybe it is a blessing that his mother did not live to face the aftermath of her son's destructive actions. xo Diana

  8. I have an acre out behind my house that I would have given the SOB as a place to go blow his effing brains out on… then dug him a hole and buried his sorry ass in. Killing others simply because one is having mental issues has NEVER made sense to me. I'm not heart broken as those families are.. I'm just pissed off.

  9. I spend my day working in a K- 4 elementary school( most rewarding job there is) Our classrooms are bully free, safe and loving. Everyday all day all I see are eager happy learners. To think that one madmen could destroy the happiness and safety that teachers and staff work so hard to make is unspeakable. My heart breaks for all those little children and staff that were gunned down so thoughtlessly …..there are no words.
