Connecticut Shooting
We all know about the Connecticut shooting in Newtown. With 26 people dead, it is now a time to try to heal. It will obviously take time, but many are trying to find answers and help others with their loss. The question everyone is wanting to know is WHY? What could go through someone's mind to kill hopeless children. It is completely disgusting to think that a 20 year old could do such a thing. It seems to be happening more and more in our society. Think about James Holmes who shot everyone at the movie theatre. Also, this brings lots of people back to the Columbine shooting. I've noticed that all of these shooters are young adults in their 20s! That is so insane! A young person has their whole life ahead of them and they screw it up by killing others that would have had a long life to grow and flourish. I just don't understand it and I don't think we ever will.
More and more details are starting to emerge from this tragedy and the police are answering most of the questions being asked at the conferences. The authorites are constantly giving updates on this massacre and are now going out one-on-one with families to help them with recovery. If I was one of these parents, there would be no way I could send my child back to Sandy Hook Elementary School. These kids would be paranoid their whole lives and be scared everywhere they went. Seeing your dead friend at school would be an image you could never ever get out of your mind.
The family members of the victims are speaking out and sharing their child's lives'. I can't imagine that the parents are able to talk right now without breaking down. One of the parent's was saying that they aren't mad at the shooter, Adam Lanza. I would be the complete opposite of that! I don't think I could ever forgive him. Right now, it's a time to mourn but also a time to heal.
They say everything happens for a reason, but right now, I don't think anyone has a reason for this. Adam Lanza might have taken all of the answers to his grave.
