It's time to discuss my feelings regarding the shooting in Newtown Connecticut. I am angry at a lot of things, but especially the situation that caused this heinous tragedy. Those children committed no crime, they did not deserve this. They were innocent victims of a very sick individual.
Clearly, he needed mental health help, maybe even should have been institutionalized. Who is to blame for all this? What leads a disturbed child down the path of a mass murderer? Was it his mom, stockpiling guns and food, planning for some coming apocalypse? Was she abusive? It's possible but it's also possible there are other reasons. A sane person in control of their emotions and either using medications to keep them on an even keel, or someone mentally healthy and balanced, would more than likely ignore all the outside negative stimuli that we are continuously bombarded with. Someone like this murderer (I will not honor him by saying his name) clearly had no such control. Did mommy teach him hate? We will never know. It's also possible that the media is partly to blame, as all they are wont to report is negative stories, constantly. Was it the injustice of Wall Street, getting away with all their thievery? Was it Congress fighting the president on issues that were important to the American people? Clearly there is an imbalance of justice in this country, and that has to turn around. Now there is even talk of President Obama waffling in regards to cuts in Social Security and Medicare, when everyone knows damn well that the deficit is caused my money mismanagement; spending cuts and fair taxes on the rich are necessary. These people see the wrongs being done on a grand scale, yet no one is punished. Maybe some of them just snap. It's also possible I'm talking out of my ass, but I don't think so.
