this is an editoral essay for a blog that i've been writing today in response to this monsters actions... anyone who wishes to add something to this, please do. there is so much that i feel i am missing and not covering. and some fresh eyes will help.
Twenty-eight lives were lost today… starting with the murder’s own mother. Whose legally registered and owned weapons were used to carry out this atrocity… this brutal and barbaric assault on a group of innocent children, and this monsters actions not only destroyed the lives of the children whom were killed by the bullets, but also the innocence of their childhood by creating memories of terror that will haunt them for the rest of their lives.
To all those whom want to say that we need to ban guns in the aftermath of this tragedy in Connecticut... ask the following questions before you start screaming for even more laws that restrict the gun rights of innocent, honest & responsible citizens.
Would you punish all males for those few monsters whom have committed the barbaric and insidious act of rape? Would you punish everyone who drives an automobile because a few misuse their vehicles when they kill someone because they were drinking and driving? So why would you punish those who do not abuse their rights as a free an independent citizen, and take the rights away of those whom abide by the laws and support their community by being responsible citizens.
Why is it that people seem to want to blame the tools for the actions of those whom use them... it's the same thing as blaming a pencil for misspelled words, or a spoon for someone being impossibly overweight, because it is OUR own actions that are either GOOD or EVIL… and not the tools that have been used to commit those actions.
The fact of the matter is that to punish everyone for the acts of the few is very UN-American and is just not how good and responsible laws are meant to created and implemented.
The only person to blame for this horror that happened at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut is Adam Lanza, you know… the person whom actually carried out this barbaric action, and not the weapons or tools that he had used to commit it. To blame them for his actions diminishes the evil that he has committed and turns him into the victim and not the victimizer that he actually is.
The school was a “Gun Free Zone”… so just how did the gunman get in there to do this? Did he not see the sign saying that Guns are not allowed on the premises? These kinds of things happen because we strip responsible citizens of their rights, and thus only the unrighteous who by nature will not abide by laws will have what the honest citizens no longer possess. And they will use this advantage to become instruments of destruction and pain givers. They are the ones who should be punished for abusing their rights, for doing actions that are so horrendous.
It’s time to stop punishing the innocent, and stripping them of their rights as a responsible free citizen because of the few whom wish to do evil.
I've been crying since learning of this horrendous act of senseless brutality and monstrosity that... i can't believe anyone would target children. it's just so out of the scope. I just can't believe anything like this happens. It's something that I just can't understand. It’s completely beyond my understanding… and I can’t say anything else… it’s heartbreaking. And I just want to hold my sons, but can’t…
The fact that acts like this are not so easy to explain or even understand... but is very easy to see them as nothing more than an act of pure Unadulterated Evil. And that we must always see such acts as this as an EVIL action... and that is what happens when someone no longer has love in their hearts. For that is how evil grows, with the demising of love and compassion... that combines with the growth of apathy and basic humanity that allows this kind of evil action to even be conceived in the minds of men and women.
Have we as a people have lost respect for life of each individual? I think that is a possibility, especially with the fact that to many today see abortion as a pro-active means of birth control… that the life growing inside of them is so cheap and disposable, that they just can’t be bothered to take responsibility for their own actions. Is it any wonder why so many people today are willing to resort to violence to solve their problems? Just this past week, we have seen two children killing a woman because she told them to get a job when they asked her for a cigarette.
This is not just something that has happened here in the United States, today… just hours apart, a man with a knife killed 22 at an elementary school in the People’s Republic of China. And that barbaric act in Beijing was just the latest in a series of attacks that have been made on schools and children in China… and they were not committed not with firearms, but knives and axes. This alone would be evidence that we must not blame inanimate objects that are nothing more than tools… that the evil lies in the hearts of men and not lifeless objects.
We as a society must always place value upon each and every human life no matter how great or small, by giving it the respect that it deserves. And when everyone respects the value of life, no sane person would ever again consider ending the life of another human being so needlessly and callously.
But we also must see the way that many whom wish to exploit these kinds of atrocities for their own political gain for what they are… horrible opportunists whom are no better than the monsters whom have commit these barbaric actions. In the immediate aftermath of the shooting in Newtown, MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell was exceptionally quick to bring up gun control, and lamenting that there just doesn’t seem to be enough gun control laws. All this before there were any facts of the shooting known (such as what type of gun was used, the mental state of the shooter or who the shooter actually was)… instead of facts, Mitchell just rattled off the gun control issues talking points that has been championed by the Progressives for oh so long.
These Ghouls deserve the same kind of loathing we hold for those whom do these kinds of acts.
