From all that i've been reading and seeing... this guy killed his mother in her sleep, and then took her guns before he went on his shooting spree. it's so messed up. he went to the school his mother worked, forced his way in... and all i can say is that there were heroes in that school. The adults put themselves between that monster and those innocent babies. And they died doing it. Something any of us would have done, because it was the right thing to do. they loved those children so much. and love is why they did what they did.
i've also been reading about whats been happening in China. And it's been a series of attacks being made against kids, one of the assaults was a man with an axe going after kids.
this isn't an issue of what tools are used, but the underlying cause... is it just pure evil? I don't know.. all i know is that evil is present where love no longer exists. But those whom died protecting those children had so much love they used their own bodies as shields, they got the kids to safety.
And that is something we need to focus on, and not on the monster that did it. We shouldn't be hearing his name every few seconds on the news. we should be hearing the names of the brave souls who sacrifced themselves to save those babies lives.
But what is really bothering me is that this is happening in other places, in other countries with vastly different cultral norms or ideals. And it's just so strange that it's happening in such a way that it's happening in vasty different areas.
And it leaves us all asking ourselves... how the hell did this happen?

Fuck being a hero. Do you know what you get for being a hero? Nothing! You get shot at. You get a little pat on the back, blah blah blah, attaboy! You get divorced... Your wife can't remember your last name, your kids don't want to talk to you... You get to eat a lot of meals by yourself. Trust me kid, nobody wants to be that guy. I do this because there is nobody else to do it right now. Believe me if there was somebody else to do it, I would let them do it. There's not, so I'm doing it.
