So many questions…
May your souls rest in peace, VTech massacre victims. My condolences to their families. I hope God grants them the patience as they cope with their dear loss.
I just finished watching the series of what NBC referred to as a multi-media manifesto.
Grotesque, disturbing and very sad.
How could someone have so much anger residing within? So much resentment? So much rage?
Anchor Brian Williams said it was ‘a sick business going on the air with this stuff, but felt compelled as journalists but showed restrained because all of us are human, parents and spouses.’ Part of me agrees with NBC airing some of the videos and photos, for we need to know what people - who appear quite normal - are capable of doing. But at the same time, some of what was said by this crazed murderer could be inspirational to other sick minds out there.
If he was mentally ill, why was he attending school with sane people? Why weren’t his suite-mates and professors informed of his mental condition? Of his stalking record? And just as importantly, why was he able to purchase a gun?
A lot of issues and questions need to be addressed and raised as a result of this unfortunate incident - the worst school shooting in American history … a massacre that took the lives of innocent people as they attended classes. No Mr. President, I refuse to believe that these students and teachers were ‘in the wrong place at the wrong time’…they were doing what they’ve been doing every single day in the same place, at the same time since the beginning of their school year. The wrong place at the wrong time analogy does not apply to just any situation.
As we look back at what had happened, we need to address security. We need to address gun control. We need to make sure we are doing all that is within our capability as a nation to ensure the security of our families, students, teachers, employees and average citizens.
Again, may their souls rest in peace and may God grant their families the patience to get through these tough times.
