I find it a great tragedy when children are hurt for no reason. But for the kids to be killed is heinous. Those lives could have turned into something wonderful. They could have been artists, thinkers, leaders, teachers , the list is long and amazing. They had nothing holding them back. It was a great loss for them to die in such a worthless manner. I think of the ones that lived and all the mental anguish they are going to live through for the rest of their lives. Their friends died in the very same rooms that they will be in. How can you function normally when you know that is the spot where your friend died.
In tragedies like this there are those that stand and shine. There were people that forgot about their own safety and thought about the kids. Vicki Soto was one of those heroes. Vicki hide her kids and waited for the gunman and told him they were gone. He then killed her. The courage she had, the moral strength she possessed is amazing. I have to say thanks to Vicki and the others that did everything they could to protect the children. I also have to say thanks for giving me hope. There are times that I look out on society and I think that it is slipping away. I just hope there are others that have Vicki's attitude.
I went looking for answers, and I was disgusted with the results. I learned what the killer's name was and so I decided to see if he had a facebook page that I could see. People out there were creating facebook pages with his name. Supposedly to help the school. But if you truly wanted to help the school, you would have named it after the school, not the killer. This is why I lose faith in humanity. Someone thought it would be cool to support a killer of kids. Where did these people learn their values? Do they understand right and wrong?
People are using this event for there personal gain. If this event could assist their cause, they were spewing a lot of crap. Gun control is one of the issues going nuts right now. I believe in gun control but also I believe in gun owner's rights. If you are a hunter and you follow the laws, sure you can have your fancy hunting rifle and shotgun. But there is no need for the semi-auto weapons. People do have the right to defend themselves. You can't take away the guns from the homeowner. Criminals aren't going to follow the law and banning guns would mean that homeowners would be defenseless.
Guns kill that is what they are designed to do, however the guns don't do the killing. If you are so obsessed with killing someone , you will find a way to do it. The are other ways of killing people, bombs, knives, cars, poison, and many more. So we need to improve our mental health resources so that people don't get this bad. It is still very early in the investigation of the event. The killer killed his own mother, why we don't know. I feel that he attacked the school because he was angry with his mom and the mom was part of the school.
The religious have been bringing there 'get god back into school' rant into play. I watched a video that explained that this is a result of kicking god out of the schools in 1962. That if we welcome god back into the schools this would never happen again. There is nothing more disgraceful than using the death of children to push your faith. This is an act of someone that doesn't deserve respect as well. The man pimping god in schools is going against his own religion.
- The bible says that the son shall not carry the sins of the father. SO then why were the children the primary target? These children didn't remove god from the schools, so why were they attacked? They did not sin!!!
- The man in the video claimed that god doesn't go where he is not wanted. When women are raped they are begging for help, they are asking for god to help them. Where was god? He was wanted.
- Most christian denominations give the age of accountability as 13. If these children were so young, why did this god allow them to be punished for 'god' being kicked out of the schools. They didn't understand the concept of god.
- This man doesn't understand the 1st amendment. He talked about freedom of religion. And the right to have religion in school. But he fails to see then that all religions must be honored. Is this same man going to allow Allah to be in schools? I bet he would shutter if he saw a picture of Cernunnos right next to jesus.
In the days ahead we are going to learn many sad facts about this event. Motives and details of the events as they unfolded. In your hearts try to find a way to deal with all the emotions going through you.
I will not give the name of the killer. I will not help him become famous. If you have troubles in life, you need to find a way to deal with them. Before you con cider going out and hurting someone, you need to find alternatives. If someone wronged you and you need revenge, fight someone that can defend themselves. If you go out and kill defenseless people like children and the elderly, I think you are worthless as a person and you should be forgotten at that moment. I think a law should be passed that all alleged killers names by withheld from the media. And if any media source releases the name of the killer , they face a $100,000 fine. People need to remember Vicki Soto, and forget about the killer of children.
Lorn you are absolutely right in all that you said. I also agree the killers name never be mentioned my heart cries for those babies and for the teachers mostly Vicki who put other lives above her own self I have candles burning for these treasures that will never be in this life. I want to say thank you for putting my sentiments into words.
