It is inevitable. When I was in highschool, I wanted to kill everybody. I didnt because it was unimaginable. Now it is inevitable. The kids have been given a green light by the Columbine and VA Tech killers. Killing lots of people is now comprehensible, and should I say "an option".
I was right across the street from VA Tech on May 16th, and I heard the gunfire while checking my mailbox. I was stunned at myself when I didnt go into shock when I found out what happened 2 hours later, not more than 300 yards away from my place. It dosent shock me, because I have become used to it. The frog placed in cold water has come to a boil and is dead.
Fox - your post is so sad. I never knew anybody who ‘wanted to kill’ anyone. I am so sorry that you were dealt such horrible blows in your youth.
And, you lived close to the Va Tech shootings? That had to be a shock to you.
I raised my children just down the street from where the Colorado shooter was raised. My kids even played in that house and yard, when they were little. That shocked me.
We must not allow ourselves to become ‘numb’ to what seems to be happening in our country. We must continue to be alert, and (if we can) pray.
Hugs to you — and I mean that. HUGS!
When you and I were in high school, we had parents. There are fewer and fewer stay-at-home moms, and fewer stay-with-yer-wife fathers. Boomers have trusted the socialists to raise their kids, raised taxes to pay for it - making mom have to work, and hollywood and video games have given the green light to fantasize wasting your enemies. Yah, it is inevetible for some. The rest of us can concentrate on being parents. Funny how this crap not only happens, but is run 24/7 just before landmark 2A situations... SCOTUS, and the 2008 elections. Curious. A little too curious.
