I feel compelled to write today because I cannot take my mind off of the horrible school shooting in Connecticut that just took place.
http://news.msn.com/us/at-least-27-dead-in-shooting-at-conn-elementary-school
As of right now the news is still reporting the sketchy details. My heart goes out to all the family and friends that are suffering right now, who have been affected by this horrible deed. I am saddened that so many of these mass shootings have taken place this year. I am saddened by all the issues and arguments that will stem from these incidents. Everyone on all the different sides of gun control will be using this incident instead of just letting families and friends mourn. This tragedy will be turned into another event that will be mass covered by the media and used for a firestorm of debates.
I wish that the media would turn off their fucking camera's and let these people cope and grieve. I wish that the news wouldn't broadcast about this for days on end creating the frenzy that I believe lends itself to other shootings. I understand the need for information to be passed on, but I believe the media lends itself to mockery and feeds the fire for the other unstable individuals out there when they cover tragedies like this one. As a human being I have that horrible desire to know the awful details, but the other part of me does not want to know every minute detail about the evil that has transpired in that school. Part of me just wants to let those people grieve in peace!!
I send my prayers to the families and friends!!
