Sometimes its hard to understand why and how things like these can happen and its so unfair with what happened yesterday to all those children and adults. I heard about what happened late afternoon and listened to the presidents speech before i heard the full story in the car. Once returning home i flipped on the tv to see it on every news channel. After hearing what happened i was in shock. I immeditaly began to pray for all those people affected. My fiance then later watched a whole hour about it on a certain news channel and i was in tears the whole time. I couldnt take it anymore and asked him to please change it. I know this may sound sick to some, but I feel sorry for the man who killed all those people, as well as feeling sorry for all the families who had to endure such a tradegedy. Some of us suffer from far worse mental illness than others and yet are still capable of pulling off such organized plans resulting mostly in harming other people before themselves. It is sick and sad but i do feel sorry that such people dont find the help before commiting such hateful crimes. Im not saying that it was ok for someone to do something like that because theyre sick..never is it ok. Im saying i feel sorry that someone has to reach that level and feel its ok to do whats happened. Not alot of many people will look at the man and think he was sick..many of mental ill people get overlooked alot and then go on to do such hurtful things to themselves and to others. I have deep sympathy for the victims and all involved in this situation. Theyres really not much we can do to change moments like these. Changing gun laws, maybe, but not sure how thats going to stop people from still buying guns off the streets. Police have changed the way in which enetering buildings when school(big public) shootings happen since columbine. I think its a much better course of action to take in such a matter but in most cases lots are already dead or wounded. Ive never had to go through such a tradegedy am im soo sorry you have. I apologize if anything ive said is offensive to anyone on how i feel about the situation. It has my heart yearning for all those people, yet too filled with anger. Im glad you posted this thread as i needed an outlet, for its been on my mind all night. I couldnt sleep so finally decided to get up. Its a rough situation 360 around and leaves most on the outside asking why. But only God knows why and myself personally would like to believe that i have no right in asking him why. Only on how to help others so that moments like these dont happen again or around me. Again i would like to apologize if my post offends or upsets anyone. It is my opinion though that everone deserves equality.
