We experienced breaches in ethics and morality, not in the sense of just politics, life and journalism. We saw everything go to hell today. We saw the worst that humanity can be. The tale of a deranged man committing a senseless crime, killing children that won't have a future now.
We experienced the man who leads this country grieve in front of us all.
The Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, perhaps now the newest standard in school shootings, is now one of the deadliest killing sprees in history. It possesses so many layers of wrongdoing. Killing young children, mental illness, gun control...you name it, we're all furious. That includes the leader of this country, Barack Obama.
Whether or not it's the right time to bite and claw after gun control doesn't matter. Something has to give. It's not just coincidence that deranged people come into contact with lethal force. The ban may or may not work...after all, I put forth the kid and the cookie analogy in my last post with this subject.
Perhaps what really needs to happen is that people with mental illness need to learn that there are resources out there for them to improve and live normal lives. I suffered through depression for a tremendous amount of time. I truly think it ruined my childhood almost completely.
But here I am, I'm alive, well, and working towards a dream. Sometimes the anxiety comes back, but I find a way to fight through.
I know my situation doesn't encompass all. There is just help to be had.
I had words, but to be honest, I lost them. I feel like I don't have any more to give. Today was indescribable. A day that will go down as one of the more darker days in history.
