Murdering the innocent

With this latest and tragic act of gun violence still in the hearts and minds of people we are all outraged and saddened by it.  Children are supposed to be protected and for the most part they are over-protected.  As a child I ran and played, rode my beat up bikes in and out of traffic, we threw rocks at each other, we got lost and we worried our parents sick when we didn't show up on time.  But we always felt safe living in a safe country...the sick people were still out there but we never heard about them.  This is Canada...my home in Ottawa...my schools were all safe places to be...we thought about guns...made them out of a stick...pointed a finger and thumb...played cowboys and indians...good guys and bad guys.

This week in the United States of "what the fuck is wrong with you people" America a lone gunman...a child himself...at 20 years old he had not even started to live his own life...murdered the innocent...murdered teachers and his mother...who provided him with the assault rifle to do the job...she took him to the gun range and taught him how to kill...not just shoot...to kill...that is what an assault rifle is designed for...it is not for hunting deer...it is not for home security...it is designed to kill people...that is all...it is simple.   For his part he was given the tool by his mother...he was home taught by his mother...he was "removed" for society by his mother...because he was a "troubled youth"  A troubled youth with access to weapons...other people knew he was disturbed...but they chose not to help...they chose not to say "perhaps having guns around him is not a good idea"  The Americans embrace the idea of having guns for home protection...afterall they are permitted to own them...they can carry them on some school property...just in case...they live in a society where they are all prepared to take a life if it suits them...if they have road rage...or if they simply don't like someone.  I won't type the name of the latest murderer...I don't want him to be known...there is no reason to remember him for anything other than a murderer of children.  Cry for the children...and cry for the United States...they allow it...and they will never change it...that is their right.
