Like many bloggers this is not the article i had planned for today. I felt I needed to say something about the tragic school shooting in Connecticut. I was hesitant though. I hate when people use tragedy for gain. I did not want to use this to push an agenda. In the end it was the people that are doing that that has prompted me to write this. Let me share my thoughts on this horrible shooting.
First I want to convey my deepest sorrow for the families accented by the shooting. I can not even to being to fathom their loss. I have now words to for such mindless violence.
What happened
On Friday, December 14th, 20-year-old Adam Lanza, entered Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. He had three weapons stolen from his mother whom he murdered before going to the school. In the school he shot and killed 20 children and six adults. After which he shot and killed himself. Adam suffered from mental illness.
Two sides playing tug-a-war
The reaction to this crime have disgusted me. Both sides of the political sphere are trying to use the terrible deaths of children to further their own agendas. The left is crying for more gun control and the right is yelling for more guns. Neither side really gives a fuck that lives are lost! They were strategizing as the news was rolling. The internet had anti and pro gun images flying before the bodies were cold. Who does that?! What sick fuck thinks while watching the news that “I had better make a meme”. The hatred of this tendency is what forced me to write this.
The Right Side?
There is no right side in this. This was an act of violence by a mentally ill boy. In the process of committing this horrendous act he broke at least 41 laws to commit this act. How many more gun laws would be needed to stop him? If guns would as easy to get as vending machine candy bars would there be more? If everyone had a gun would there be more crime or less? Those are questions for another time. Questions that need to be answered without using innocent children to make a point. Morn the dead and keep your fucking agendas to yourself you pieces of scum.
That all I have to say for now. Sorry for the adult language but some situations call for it.
