I am sick to death of these assholes who shoot up public places for whatever reason they may have. In my opinion no reason is good enough to justify killing or attempting to kill innocent people. I honestly don't care if someone picked on you and made fun of your clothes or called you fat, or said you're never gonna get a girlfriend. SO WHAT? We all deal with mean and rude people who just like others feeling miserable. They will get theirs soon enough but it shouldn't be by your hand and in the process destroying other lives as well. There have been over a dozen school shooting/massacres since 96'. Many people lost their lives, many lost their family and friends. Over what? I cant answer that for you.
I'm sure you all remember the Columbine High School Massacre in 1999. Two students stormed Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado and murdered 12 other students aged 14 to 18 as well as a teacher. A further 24 people were injured before the attackers, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, killed themselves.
You may not remember the University of Texas Clock Tower Shootings in 1966. Charles Whitman pointed a rifle from the observation deck of the University of Texas at Austin’s Tower and began shooting in a homicidal rampage that went on for 96 minutes. He killed fifteen people and wounded 31 others before being shot dead by police.
The Virgina Tech in 2007, Seung-Hui Cho, killed 32 people and wounded many more, before committing suicide, making it the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history.
That's not even the tip of the ice burg. Not only is it dangerous to go to school, now you cant even go to the movies feeling safe. July 20, 2012 the hit film The Dark Knight Rises made its debut and a gunman, James Holmes, opened fire on innocent people looking to just simply watch a movie in Auroa, Colorado. He killed 12 people and injured over 20 people.
Now this asshole sits in court "pretending to have lost his mind. I guess he's pleading not guilty by reason of insanity. I certainly hope the people don't by that garbage.
My family and i went to see The Dark Knight Rises the same night at the same time at AMC 24 Southlake in Jonesboro, GA. I sat there with popcorn in hand, wide eyed at the amazing film only to later learn that another theater was experiencing a horror they never could have even imagined. My prayers go out to all those injured and those who lost loved ones. Where can we go and feel safe? Is it too much to ask to be able to go to school, a movie or walk down the street without fear that some psycho will start randomly shooting into a crowd a people. When will this end??? I just want to turn on the news and see footage of a cat stuck in a tree or little Timmy fell down the well again. But sadly i know that we live in world where sometimes horrible things happen. I'm so tired of all this violence. What about you?
