I'm sorry. I don't care who the shooter was. I don't care what kind of issues he was having in his life. I don't care if he couldn't stand the pain anymore. There is nothing. No excuse. For the carnage this piece of shit has created today.
And two minutes ago I just found out that I know one of the parents who lost a child.
I really don't care what problems this young man had in his life. I truly don't care how difficult he thinks things were that he was not able to manage. It doesn't matter to me that he had such issues with his mother that he felt the need to murder her and take his anger out on children.
There is no excuse, no justification. No framework cthat could justify or even explain what this piece of shit did to that communtiy and the families that were suffering tonight.
So many people in this world live in self-centered bubble. Sometimes its about a combination of some disorder and that person's inability to function as normal in a world that is manufactured to define happiness and sadness based on what we hearn from sitcoms or the news or what we expect the perfect world to be. Hell, I have amother who, at 8o, still expects life to give her a respect that has nothing to do with reality and everything to do with how she perceives the world should be.
But there is no excuse, ever, for this kind of carnage. I can never be explained in a way that the person who created it will be perceived as anything but a monster.
And the fact that this coward had the temerity to kill himself and not be responsible for this event is even more frustrating.
This is a liberal blog. There is a necessity as a liberal to analyise every event and try to find the humanity in it. But I'm sorry. I can't buy into this.
This shooter is the essence of evil in this world. I don't care who he was before this event. After it, he is nothing more than a piece of meat. If there is a hell, he deserves to experience the worst of it. And I feel no conflict in saying that. Damn this man. He should fry. And that wouldn't be enough.
Other than this, I will spend no more negative energy on these thoughts. My poor friend. Nobody should have to go through this. My God.
