I want to say more, but I just can't fully process everything right now. I'm still at a loss. I'll say more when the words can finally come to me.
Even if it feels insufficient, I want to send my condolences to the people the victims left behind...their family, friends, co-workers...whomever they chose to share their lives with. I hope justice is served.
Update:
So sad to see the news about the Texas mass murder. In an elementary school. I've just lost all hope in people. Bothe the Left and the Right allowed this to happen. They prefer arguing until they're blue (or red) in the face about how the other side is to blame, but it's on all of us. Regardless of political belief. Regardless of belief system. Regardless of profession. This is on all of us. But humanity is to sick to do anything about this. And our politicians would rather spend time introducing non-issue bills on Daylight Savings time than deal with real problems. As a species, we've failed ourselves. I don't really see us righting the ship. I'm fairly convinced by this point in my life that this is who we are, as a species. And I really don't think we can redeem ourselves.
