My brother came home from school today and said that talking about the shooting had been prohibited.
This amused me to some degree.
This very thing--this ridiculous fear of what we don't understand--is why such incidents continue to occur.
If you push something back into a dark corner, it's going to come out stronger than ever because while you weren't looking, it grew in its solitude, allowed to flourish unhindered due to your fear.
I'll be the first to admit that I'm sick of hearing about it, though this is mainly because most of the things I hear amount to "I hope that fucker burns."
You know something? That fucker was a human being. A screwed-up human being, yes, who had absolutely no right to take the lives of innocent people, but a human being nonetheless.
Treat him like one. And wonder how he could've been helped. Wonder about how this tragedy could've been prevented.
Talk.
And maybe you'll discover something that will stop history from repeating.
I'll be praying.

Honestly, I agree with you. It's really sad, I feel for all the victims and the victims' families, but thinking the kid deserved it that badly and saying you wish he burns in hell is horrible. I mean, I completely agree, he was still a human being, he had issues because people are horrible people and he couldn't take it anymore, he just shouldn't have taken people with him. It's tragic, but this reaction I'm hearing about seems tragic as well, it's just wrong.
