angelofmusic21There are just no words that I can say to make what happened yesterday ok because it's not.
My heart goes out to the victims and their families that lost their lives in yesterday's school shooting, the second worst school shooting in history. I'm sad and angry.
I have bene following the news and updates on the horrific event. When I first heard about it yesterday I was stunned. All i could think was, "Why" and "How" could this have happened. How could someone go and target little children as 20-year-old Adam Lanza did. I don't understand it. The investigators say that they are still looking for a motive. In my mind there is nothing, absolutely nothing that excuses this. Twenty children and six adults were killed. What was going through his mind as he entered that school?
i love how people always tend to blame the fact that a person was mentally disturbed. He was not well, he was not in his right mind. i'm sorry but you can't honestly tell me that he had no clue about what he was doing. The man had 4 weapons on him when he went to the elementary school. It's still unclear as to exactly how many he brought in with him when he forced his way in. I saw some reports that say he had three and some say two. Then I heard there were six guns in total he had access to so I'm really unsure of the count. It saddens and sickens me to my very core. My heart aches for the familyies and the victims. Those kids will never have the chance to go to highschool, go to the prom, go to college, get married, have there own children, they will never celebrate another holiday or anything that life had in store for them. The children were six and seven years old. Afther shooting twenty children and six adults, he turned the gun on himself if reports are true. What a coward! Anyone who does a mass shooting and then turns the gun on himself is a bloody coward in my eyes! Face the consequences for what you've done! I really wish the police could have gotten to him before he killed himself, I'd have loved for his victims and their families to have justice. I know one day he will be judged and he will get what he deserves, i truely believe that.
I'm not sure what will make people stop the madness. I really don't think tougher gun laws will do the trick because if someone wants to kill, they will think of other ways. Not only guns can kill but other things as well. Besides as someone once told me, it's not the guns that kill, it's the weilder behind the weapon.
The names of the victims and their ages were released and I'm going to post them now, youngest to oldest. I think that it needs to be seen. While reading, if everyone would take just a moment of silence for each of the victims i think that would be nice. I myself shall do the same.

Sorry for the depressing entry but I think we all sometimes need to reflect on things.
