School
shootings have been a plague in America, since Columbine. I don't
know if Columbine was the first school ever to have this problem or
was it just one of the worst massacre's of beautiful human lives that
made the impact on us?
I
live in Denver, and I did walk the graveyard of all those beautiful
young teenagers and one teacher that died in April 1999 at Columbine.
Not only that, but I went out there in the days after and placed
flowers in the piles of thousands of flowers, Catholic candles,
handmade gifts of sorrow placed to honor those beautiful young
adults. I also took my precious young son who was 4 years old with
me. What did he think all those flowers at a park meant?
He
doesn't remember me taking him out there, but he KNOWS what Columbine
means and what it was. He learned that from school. I didn't know
they teach a class about it. Maybe they don't, maybe it's just one of
those things that get's passed around from generation to generation,
like the game Simon Says or ring around the rosy.
Since
Columbine how many darn times have we gone through this? Not to
mention one of the most heart breaking, those little tiny most
precious among us - Newtown.
Everyone
including me can not think of of what to do to stop it. And this
recent one here in my town, at Arapahoe High School and the beautiful
Claire Davis being taken away from her parents and her friends for no
other reason then stupidity. There is no reason to kill another
person unless you are defending yourself or another. That's it! No
other reason!
So
if you go shooting people because you want to make some statement as
to how great and cool you are, well, you are only a fool, a worthless
human being, you're nothing. All you did is create hate towards
yourself and your family, and of course you will be dead because
you're too much of a coward to kill and face the consequences of it.
So you leave your family to take the beating of hate they will get
because of you.
Going
into any building and shooting people at random for no reason other
then you think it's such a great idea, is stupid.
Take
the Aurora theater shooting. I do not even know the shooters name,
but he has some story that he is insane and of course he does look
like he may have some kind of mental illness, when I see him on t.v.
Yet this bothers me, because how does mental illness plot, gather,
plan, and carry out a super killing of innocent people? How can the
mental illness carry out the execution of human lives? Why doesn't
the mental illness just cause the person to commit suicide? Did
Columbine create a new outlet for people with mental illness? “Oh
instead of killing myself because I hate life and I hate people and I
am miserable, I think I will go kill a bunch of innocent people then
kill myself.” Yeah that makes sense. It's stupid!
It's
frustrating. I know that I worried day after day for years about my
son being at school. Would he come home to me? Would his school be
the choice of some stupid idiot? I thought about home schooling him,
but I could never protect him from all of life. College's get
attacked too. It seems that no where is really safe. There is always
going to be some stupid person who thinks they are smart, but really
they are not; they will always be there ready to ruin some innocent
beautiful life. I guess we have to call it EVIL. That's what it is.
PURE EVIL. And of course with a dollop of stupidity on top!
We
all want an answer as to how were going to stop this stupidity. I
think the answer is EDUCATION, and by that I mean. Lets start talking
to them in kindergarten about not pointing guns at others and killing
them just because we think it's cool and the fact we have access to
guns, and that we feel sorry for ourselves. It's stupid. What person
wants to be labeled as stupid? None of them.
Okay,
I have solved nothing with this rant. This problem really bothers me.
I want to solve it. I know you want to solve it. There has to be an
answer. We all know there is, but why can't we find it?
