IMO I think its ALWAYS a tragedy and never "NORMAL" -- Personally, I don't care if a person is blue, green, yellow, purple, red, or rainbow colored like the slushies I used to buy off the ice cream truck....its a person and NO ONE deserves to be a victim of senseless violence! Maybe if we
ALL started treating each other like PEOPLE and not like crayons in the crayola box, then we will realize that the only thing that truly matters is that a life was lost and finding out what we can do to prevent it in the future!
On another note...did anyone see the Primetime special last night about kids and guns? They gave the kids a class about gun safety and what to do if they found a gun, etc. Then a couple weeks later, they planted disabled guns and dummy bullets around 2 kids hangouts with hidden cameras --- NOT ONE SINGLE KID turned the guns in when they found them....well one did -- but he turned in only ONE gun and kept the other. It was sickening to see these kids playing with these guns -- they had NO IDEA that they were disabled! Very scary to think about!
On a final note, I heard the news reports after the school shooting, and the principal saying "Our prayers are with you all" (paraphrased) and that the children were sent around the corner to a church for counseling. Its very funny for me to see that God is only "allowed" in school AFTER a tragedy has happened.
