I am disheartened today. I found out good news, I found out I don't need surgery, and yet something very tragic happened today that makes me wonder wtf happened? I don't understand what possesses an adult to kill innocent children in an elementary school, and I don't understand how so many shootings have taken place just this year, or a shooting and a stabbing. You know, I even learned some kids in China were stabbed to death in a school today (well yesterday for them). First, this year, we had a shooting at a movie theater, then a shooting at a mall, and now today, a shooting at an elementary school. I still remember the shooting at Columbine, but what is going on with America? What can be done about it? We need to do something, yet gun control is not the answer. Why? People still find ways to get guns. It doesn't matter if there's more control or you ban them. The problem lies in identifying and helping those that shouldn't be in society. Surely there were warning signs for this guy. This couldn't be just a random shooting. None of them are. There's planning involved. We all know that the shooting at Virginia Tech was handled poorly, and nobody saw fit to get the guy some help? Hmm... but what about this? You know, it's gotten to the point to where you can't go out in public anymore, and you can't feel safe about sending your kids to school. And what's being done about it? Congress just sits on their butts like, "Oh well, another shooting." Meanwhile, people are paranoid about things they shouldn't have to worry about. I wonder, where does it stop?
