Another One
A kid with gun decided to kill 30-something people today for reasons I can't wait to find out. So far speculation is the kid wanted to kill his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend. If this is true, you have to ask yourself would the ex would have rather lived or died. Since we don't know which one she is at this point.
If she was killed depending on your religion, she'd never have to know how many people this stupid kid murdered over a broken heart.
If she's not dead, she's going to feel guilty, even though she shouldn't, kid was crazy enough to kill 30 people. Kill in cold, senseless, blood, 30 people making something of their future in a good college. Just the fact that he could do that is reason enough to dump someone.
My heart goes out to every soul this world is missing because of this, and I want to know their stories, but I do not want to hear about the shooting. Why? Because of the way people are. This is going to be another anti-gun thing. I hate guns, but people have their rights. My mouth tasted bitter when I said that aloud, because I know it's wrong- but I still stand behind freedom. The biggest freedom is the freedom of speech, art, and internet. Which will be attacked as this news story is used as a weapon against personal freedoms.
People that want to save the world, people that want to deliver us from evil, are the people that make me cringe when something like this happens. They will use the killer's name and try to attach it to violent video games, porn, and Marilyn Manson.
But I've started chasing a rabbit down an ugly-hole I wish didn't exist, something I wish I could ignore. And I will ignore it long enough to get this out.
To everyone at Virginia Tech, breath deep, cry hard, talk long and study up, finals are coming around the corner.
With Love, Sadness, and Numbed Empathy,
