Seriously, who do people think they are? What kind of person walks into a dark theatre on a summer night and starts spraying bullets while people are trying to enjoy a movie? Did he think he was making a statement? That something was going to change because he killed those individuals? It disgusts me that things like this happen. Literally makes me sick to my stomach that someone could commit such an atrocity against their fellow human beings. What kind of animals have we become? You shouldn’t have to fear going to the movies or doing any sort of daily activity.
I know there will be two groups of people. One group will agree that this is a tragedy that should’ve never happened. The other group will say that stuff like this happens all over the world, everyday and why should it matter? Well it should matter. Because it’s happening in our backyard. I can sympathize with the plights of millions all over the world. I know bad stuff happens every day. To good people. Who don’t deserve it. But that doesn’t and shouldn’t make the lives lost yesterday any less tragic.
I think as a country we should continue to focus on the victims and their families and not the person who created this chaos. Ultimately, that’s what they want. It’s an unnecessary cry for attention and we as a society should not give them the satisfaction. Send positive vibes, keep them in your thoughts, pray. Whatever it is that you do. We need to lift these people up and show them that we are all behind them.
We all have to share this planet and its resources. We don’t all have to like each other. But if we, as a people, cannot learn to get along this Earth will be gone long before it should be.
